‘There is a chance Vladimir Putin is controlling the White House’: National security expert

On Tuesday, former acting FBI director Andrew McCabe acknowledged that he believed President Donald Trump posed a threat to the United States. After right-wing pundits accused McCabe of treason and attempting to wage a coup, he noted that his investigation had followed legal protocol and that Congress had been aware of the probe.

On CNN Tuesday, national security expert Samantha Vinograd wondered if the investigation is still ongoing and what that could mean for potential Russian interference in US policy.

“Is that investigation still ongoing? McCabe has said that the President’s moves to undercut investigations, to believe Vladimir Putin over his own intelligence officials, to make personnel decisions based on Russia related matters, all led to this investigation,” Vinograd observed.

“McCabe would have laid that out before the Gang of Eight. But just in the past few days, the counterintelligence red flags are flying a lot higher than they did arguably than when this investigation was first launched,” she pointed out.

“And that this investigation is continuing and there is still a chance that Vladimir Putin is controlling the White House.

BOOM!

Fox New's Judge Napolitano: "I haven't seen anything like this before: A sitting President of the United States using his allies in the Congress to interfere with an ongoing criminal investigation. This breaks new ground!"

How many GOP Congressmen will go down with Trump?

McCabe describes Pence reading the FBI briefing materials on Flynn's lies: "Immediately his face changed. His expression turned very cold. It hardened ... His head shook, but barely — tiny shakes of no ... He said a few things along the lines of I can't believe this." P. 203

The NYTs calculated that Trump has attacked the Russia investigation 1100 times publicly.

How many times has he attacked Russia for meddling in our elections, or Saudi Arabia for killing our journalist, or Roger Stone for threatening a judge?

Exactly!

This is NOT Normal!

One man stands in the way of the survival of our Democracy. That man is Mitch McConnell. Long ago The Pathological Liar crossed the line when he conspired with Russia to steal the ‘16 election. McConnell has the power to stop the slide towards Autocracy. History is watching.

Putin publicly threatened America.

Trump hasn’t even responded.

Because he’s a traitor, who’s weak on Russia. Putin’s little puppet needs to resign or be impeached.

If #Mueller says he’s done and was allowed to follow the evidence, then let’s see the report. America will welcome it. But if he’s been forced to stop investigating, there will be hell to pay. We’re not powerless anymore.

The idea that the President of the United States would take Putin's word over that of our intelligence community is deeply disturbing. It’s insulting to the skilled, dedicated professionals who’ve devoted their lives to protecting our nation.

Duh! We know this. Why does he keep getting away with this? Why is his admin allowed to flaunt Congressional oversight? Why isn't the entire Congress up in arms & throwing a big loud hissy fit over this every single minute of every single day?

BREAKING: A former Trump staffer, Jessica Denson, has just filed a class action lawsuit to invalidate All of Trump's campaign Non Disclosure agreements.

Who else can't wait to see the wave of dirt that follows any invalidation.

Thank you Jessica!

I just finished teaching my pre-law class, so I'm seeing the breaking news on CNN for the first time now. I agree with Neal that this "the end of the beginning." Those who presume it will be the end of the end aren't understanding what this breaking news—if it is correct—imports.

If true, it doesn't mean the investigations are over, given all the lies that Mueller has been told by those he charged. Those lies, and the intricate nature of these investigations, can't be resolved so quickly.…

It is frightening and disturbing that virtually all Republican legislators remain so terrified by Trump that they are willing to ignore all evidence of his misdeeds. This is complicity at its worst and it is a continuing blow to democracy and the rule of law.

For all the deeply troubling reporting about Russian contacts and associations with this administration, we also keep learning more and more about Saudi Arabia.

Be prepared for the reality no matter what is in report the GOP will circle wagons around Trump calling it all nothing. Could be evidence of murder, won't matter. It will be a solid year of spin and lies. At least. Count on it. Nothing will happen fast. If at all.

Bill Barr’s appointment will prove to be one of Trump’s worst miscalculations. Barr will protect the integrity and independence of the DOJ, will support Mueller’s investigation and will be instrumental in Trump’s downfall. #JusticeIsComing https://twitter.com/amandionair/status/1097504888236527617 …

I don’t need to see the Mueller report to know that @realDonaldTrump has already obstructed justice because I have watched him do it with my own eyes. This crook has been allowed to trample over the rule of law and the Constitution for far too long.

It is time to #ImpeachTrump.
