BREAKING: Russia probe reaches current White House official, people familiar with the case say

[Mac1958]

Some of this shit had better pan out.

I remember giggling at the right wingers who latched on to every last rumor and "inside source" and conspiracy theory that came down the road, announcing the inevitable end of Obama's career or Hillary's arrest or someone else's something.

Here we go again. It must be something in the air.

I just started wondering what it would have been like in 1972-74 when Watergate blew up....if we'd had the internet and social media.

It's certainly happening faster than Watergate, thanks to the internet and social media.

I agree! This is like Watergate on steroids. And lots of Deep Throats...

It would surprise no one if we had ..
BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump has a heart attack.

Especially with his fast food diet and no exercise.
The Tramp actually said " you shouldn't exercise because it saps the body of its energy."

Just when we thought we've heard the ultimate bonehead comment of Tramp's... he outdoes himself.

Breaking News on MSNBC. Apparently first reported by McClatchy. The investigation if rapidly expanding deeper and wider.

WASHINGTON -- Investigators into Russian meddling in the U.S. presidential elections are now also probing whether White House officials have engaged in a cover-up, according to members of Congress who were briefed Friday by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

That avenue of investigation was added in recent weeks after assertions by former FBI Director James Comey that President Donald Trump had tried to dissuade him from pressing an investigation into the actions of Trump’s first national security adviser, retired Army Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, members of Congress said, though it was not clear whom that part of the probe might target.

Even as members of Congress were mulling over the expansion of the case into possible cover-up, and its reclassification from counterintelligence to criminal, the scandal appeared to grow. The Washington Post reported Friday afternoon that federal investigators were looking at a senior White House official as a “significant person of interest.” The article did not identify the official, though it noted that the person was “someone close to the president.”

A person of interest is someone law enforcement identifies as relevant to an investigation but who has not been charged or arrested.

"The sources emphasized that investigators remain keenly interested in people who previously wielded influence in the Trump campaign and administration"

Nixon was brought to his knees by " unnamed sources."

This is certainly becoming much more serious for the Trump Administration.

You may never again see such a crony and scandal filled White House in our lifetimes as we will with this train wreck. All thinking, patriotic Americans certainly hope so.

Will Kushner soon be wearing an orange jumpsuit?

"people familiar with the case say"
What people? Lakhota and the rest of the liberal clowns on this board? Give me a break! until we start getting names none of this BS can be believed.

Vegas has better odds that Hillary will be.

 

[Lakhota]

Has Trump lawyered up yet?

Impeachable

Trump is likely a traitor for Russia on top of it all.

I saw John Dean interviewed, he said Trump had the exact same cover his ass stories as Nixon did, but Nixon was more honest about the smaller details ...

Tricky Dick more honest than Shitforhair .. gee, who knew ?

Here's an interesting article...

Congratulations To Federal Inmate 06290-177 Jared Kushner

Will Kushner be prosecuted?

 

[Reasonable]

Will Kushner be prosecuted?

We can only hope. With all the money he's making on America's dime I hope they throw the book at him. Isn't it amazing how not one deplorable will criticize any of the Trump's for their conflicts of interest.

It sounds like he may also have a little problem regarding a Saudi arms deal.
