It's only been a day and this thing is growing.

Trump's got this.

Drawing, hanging, and quartering came to be as punishment for the most egregious crimes against the crown....high treason.

Are we there yet?

The women...they were only burned. But these days with equal rights and all...suffrage...ha. We don't want to offend them based on their lack of a twig and berries.

it just burns me thinking of that self righteous / smug testimony of these 3 as they talked about President Trump as if he were an incompetent nut case.

and all the congressional lawmakers, REP and DEM, were just falling over themselves saying what terrific patriots these 3 are

How could they possibly not know of Rice's unmasking requests and the subsequent wide distribution ?

They knew, and then the unthinkable happened. 306.

From what I have read thus far the only thing done illegally was the unmasking by Rice. The surveillance itself was not illegal.

The unmasking is a felony that carries a punishment of up to 10 years. Anyone want to guess what she actually gets?

Oh I will stick my neck out and predict she doesn't serve a single minute of incarceration.
Probably have to spend a few hours answering a few uncomfortable questions in front of a congressional hearing and then move on to the book and lucrative lecture tour.

You can bet that she will take the fifth!

Yup and nothing will happen. Think of all the "investigations" congress conducted in the last decade into government corruption, IRS, Fast And Furious; the FBI "investigation" into Hillary. Exactly how many resulted in indictments being handed down by the justice department?

Rice has nothing to worry about and she knows it.

Maybe Con-gress will ask her a few show questions. She'll take the 5th. Then land a cush job at a Soros funded welfare program think tank.

In her position, the unmasking wasn't necessarily illegal.

The leaking certainly was.

Yes you are correct in that. But that has now been redefined as extreme careless handling of classified information. No reasonable prosecutor would pursue this case.

lastmanstanding, STOW IT.

Understand me? Stow that negative shit and I mean right now. No one here, least of all, me wants to hear this nothing-will-ever-happen-to-criminals HORSE SHIT.

You don't fucking know anything that the rest of us don't know, too, so just stow the worldly cynicism. You don't have the slightest idea of how this will play out, so just be quiet.

I swear- there is always at least one member pulling this shit in any thread like this. It's as if you can't stand for others to have hope and I am sick of seeing it.

I want to see some people fired over this. Clean house. Send in the cat on the Roomba.

AND Mr. "IDGAF" Dave.

This might be something every American fears and can understand- The Government spying on a private citizen for no justifiable reason.

Trump flourished in the New York City Real Estate Market- Is that any more corrupt than Washington DC?

What Rice did may have been legal.
However, eventually the American people will view her actions as cheating politically.
Not good.

CNN is reporting the Rice scandal is fake news and has told their audiences to ignore it.

https://news.grabien.com/story...shell-instructs-view

CNN doesn't get to decide what is the Truth and what is not. The facts alone decide this.

CNN can bury their head in the sand but, you know what? No one is talking about Jeff Sessions anymore, are they?

Think about it for a second, stupid commies. See if you can figure it out.

Just for clarification, we have been provided 'nothing' thus far that the collection of Trump Associate data was legal and proper. We've only been provided the opinions of people for whom we should have great concern as to their credibility given their past behavior.

And if we're betting, I'd give good odds Clapper and Brennen are neck deep in this as well.

And with a little time and more developments this story may very well move the Russia spying story so far onto the back burner that a majority of the people completely lose interest in it. Kinda makes one wonder if ole Don is playing the media again.

CNN has turned into OZ. "Do not look behind the curtain!"

The biggest mistake the Oligarchs make is to think the people are all stupid. We are not the Walmart crowd, except for ammo shopping, and, most of us are not only educated but pretty damn smart, no matter how we got there.

Military training, college, vo techs, street smarts, running our own businesses, all are ways we honed our brains and experiences.

We have a great chance to get the tables turned back to where they should be. This underestimation of we, the people, cost them an election. By their behavior, they still do not get it.

To paraphrase Curly, " Susan Rice, I crap bigger than her."
