He knew trump was dirty and still worked to get him elected.
He's going to get his too.

to use on trump after the election and just before his first presser in 6 months because he favors Pence, thinking trump will be impeached and then Pence can take over.
Even if that happens, I think the repugs even will have to conclude that Comey overstepped his bounds in manipulating our government and has to go.

(4,835 posts)A country that is spending a bunch of time bickering over an impeachment isn't watching Eastern European countries very closely.
gratuitous
(82,849 posts)If Trump had been held to the same standards of financial disclosure as everyone else who runs for president on a major party ticket.
I wonder if this report will at last shake loose some Republicans off the Thin Red Line of party loyalty über alles?

Just saying they have it, which I'm sure they have binders of, is greatly
damaging (or should be) but the facts would be best.

I WAS wondering what his explosive but content free tweet was, 47 minutes ago:
Generic Brad
(14,275 posts)That actually does not change my feelings towards him at all. It only confirms more of what we already knew about him. He has no respect for women, other people, or himself.
I didn't respect him before this. He remains unfit to lead.

Kompromat (Russian: компромат, short for компрометирующий материал is the Russian term for compromising materials about a politician or other public figure. Such materials can be used to create negative publicity, for blackmail, or for ensuring loyalty.

(14,167 posts)What's surprising is that they have leaked this much info.
Bet they have him in all kinds of compromising sexual situations.
Plus, McCain smelled something in the water. He wanted to continue with hearings. I'm betting he and Graham caught wind of something on their recent eastern European tour.
He must be impeached.

Turbineguy
(37,343 posts)But it is likely to be distasteful.
Lee-Lee
(6,324 posts)That document is formatted in an attempt to look like a typical INTSUM or similar document created by an intelligence agency. But it's an attempt and doesn't look like and real intelligence document. But it has a lot of issues.
The heading at the top is a classification that neither the US nor Great Britian uses.
The rest of the formatting is not consistent with how a classified document is done with many discrepancies.
The information in it would never be classified at the "Confidential" level, given that it contains very specific information about top level players and the means by which much of this information was gathered. It would be at minimum Secret, and with the mix of details about the targets and the methods quite likely TS.
The formatting, wording and style are just off to me. They seem that someone wanted to paint a picture in a style appearing to be from intelligence sources rather than someone reporting information as it comes within those sources.
It may all be real- but enough hits my radar to give me pause trusting it no matter how bad I want it to be real. Because if this is fake and the entire anti-Trump movement runs with it then that will be a huge blow to iur credibility, and I wouldn't put it past the right wing to plant this as a fake story with the outrageous things like golden showers just to later slam the left as believing fake news and having now credibility.
We really need to tread very cautiously on this until further evidence can be dug up one way or another.
