Russia treason arrest seen as tacit corroboration of US intel (Rachel Maddow gets it)

[UCmeNdc]

Rachel Maddow reports on concerns about Russia's influence over Donald Trump, and the likelihood that Russia's arrests of FSB members for treason is confirmation of some part of recent U.S. intelligence releases about Russia.

1. TWO WORDS: Security clearance

Remember all of that hyper crazy attempt for security clearances by dRumphy clan? Makes you wonder who snitched on the Russian mole...

[Raster]

3. This is an example of EXACTLY WHY our Intelligence Services were...

...so reticent to provide more detailed information about the Russian hacking of our election: they did not want to endanger their source, which unfortunately appears is the case. One wonders if this was yet another "favor" for Putin.

INVESTIGATE. IMPEACH. IMPRISON.

5. Notice the Russians are rolling them up after Trump's people got put in place

Notice the senior state department people were forced to resign by Trump's moles?

6. Not a coincidence.

[Raster]

9. Absolutely agree...

...NOT a coincidence at all.

4. Flynn

Remember he was talking to the Russian ambassador in December and according to Comey's FBI there was nothing illicit in the conversation!

Also, remember that it's very likely that Comey is just one of the many Russian assets within the FBI...and I would say that most of the FBI office in the Southern District of New York, has also been infiltrated by the Russians!!!

12. A question

Why are you citing the Southern District of NY? What's going on there?

[Raster]

2. It would appear Rachel does indeed GET IT...

...Several take-aways:

1. Once a KGB thug, always a KGB thug. FSB, KGB, potato, potato;
2. I heartily agree: if the election hacking info was all bogus, no need for the Russian spy hunt; and
3. The treason arrest is pretty pointed, and tacit corraboration indeed!

INVESTIGATE. IMPEACH. IMPRISON.

7. We never hear about the NSA anymore

Aren't they scooping up every bit and byte of communication?
They've got to have pretty damning stuff on these Trumpists.

[mrmpa]

11. my cousin & her husband...

Both work for the NSA. I do worry that the bloodletting will eventually get to the NSA, because it has knowledge of any/all communication between Russia & Trump and Russia & Trump's associates.

My cousin & her husband are Asian language specialists so I don't worry that they have any specific information.

8. Another possibility is that Putin grabbed Christopher Steele

And got him to reveal MI6 moles.

[doc03]

10. Putin is scrubbing any evidence of collusion with

the Trump campaign on his end.
