Rachel Maddow of 2/12/18; Watch it, save it, spread it around!

If you missed her broadcast last night, hunt it down.

The Rice letter about what Obama's Administration grappled with in their last days in office is riveting.

When Russian Ambassador Kislyak was told about the sanctions imposed by Obama (i.e. taking back those mansions, etc) he was furious and the first person he called was Mike Flynn.
Intelligence briefed Obama who had to decide what to do. He told FBI to follow it "by the book". He asked NSA if there was any intel about Russia's meddling that maybe shouldn't be passed on to Flynn.

Would YOU tell Flynn about agents we had deployed in Russia?

1. It was a good one.

We watched it "almost-live" on a 15 minute delay that lets the DVR have enough of the show buffered in memory and we can zip through the commercials without ever catching up to the "real time" data until the very end of the show.

3. We watched it "almost-live"

I do the same thing.. One of the benefits of a DVR. Shows that start at 9pm are started by me at about 9:20. Blasting thru the commercials I finish at 10-10:05pm... Most one hour shows, minus commercials are only about 40 mins long.. The two hour CBS news in the morning, minus commercials and repeat of previous info is only about 1 hour of any new content.. Makes viewing more enjoyable...IMHO

10. Absolutely.

That's just what I do too only I pause it for about an hour so I can catch everyone's shows minus commercials.

12. How cute

You could just watch it live and cut out all the steps. You guys are so cute.😁

17. Aren't we though?

Enjoy your time at DU.

2. It was a fascinating show.

Every time the Shithole Administration tries to attack President Obama and his administration for their handling of Cheeto's treasonous actions, it back fires.

4. I was especially struck by the 8 Trump/Putin meetings segment...

where Russian media was allowed to scoop US media every fucking time. She was discussing it with the former ambassador and the thought that came to my mind was simple: by deferring to Russian media, we were showing our subservience to Putin. Trump really is Putin's Puppet.

11. Exactly

5. Meanwhile . . .

"Iowa Pig Framer" Grassley (no slight intended to pigs and the people who love them) and Lindsey "I strut around in a uniform but never heard a shot fired" Graham are now attacking Rice for this note to herself.

I hope she testifies in open session . . . she'll rip them apart.

7. I'm glad I recorded it....

There's company in who is on the "other side" so can't watch until tomorrow...Thanks for the heads up...

8. It's right up there in her top three broadcasts. It was fucking amazing. nt

[Farmer-Rick]

9. She implied what I have been thinking.

That Trump has turned over all classified information on American agents in Russia. If he or one of his cult followers had the info, it's in Putin's hands now.

How do you deal with a president who is an active traitor? And this visits by leaders of Russian spy agencies, do you think maybe they were training our security agencies how to control and manipulate people. Are we all going to be Russians now?

[iluvtennis]

13. Trump is a fkn Russian spy sitting in our White House.

14. No tv or cable so get it free as a pod cast on

Stitcher. Since it is mostly verbal, it is great to take and listen to in the car. Also listen to Lawrence this way. https://www.stitcher.com/

Thanks for the heads-up.

16. Assets have been killed

There is zero doubt that Trump and his band of traitors has outed US Assets to Putin and they've been killed.
