I hear Trump was forced to put several Russian spies in the White House and that he gave up all our state secrets. It's all part of the coup that's going to take place soon. We will all be in prison camps soon.

Facts so far are MORE than necessary. We don't need to create any shit.

I assume that if this little 'side story' (or BIGGER) turns out to be proven, Russian spies staying in the Lincoln bedroom won't be at all necessary.

I don't know about you, but I plan on thriving in my camp. I'll have to rat on my fellow Americans to curry favor with our captors, but survival always comes with a cost.

Jane Mayer, in The New Yorker, has an article that is being discussed everywhere today--for those who watch REAL NEWS. It states that Christopher Steele (yes the dossier author) is stating that 'RUSSIA' got Mitt Romney's appointment to Secretary of State NIXED! They wanted someone less hostile to Russia and to be sure sanctions would be lifted! Sound plausible?

I plan to read the actual article and will post a link tomorrow. This is ONE helluva of an indictment against the Trump team. CHRISTOPHER STEELE is said to have told this story, regarding memos circulated at MI6 in England, to MUELLER in his 10 hour (or more) interview. And, of course TILLERSON, friend to Putin and honored with Russia's highest civilian award becomes Secretary of State. And of course, a round of BIPARTISAN SANCTIONS AGAINST RUSSIA sits on Trump's desk and has been there for a couple of months--at least.

That's a quick synoposis!

Did Russia block Mitt Romney from becoming secretary of state?


In a lengthy profile in The New Yorker of Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer and author of the infamous pee tape dossier, Jane Mayer reports that Steele wrote a second memo shortly after the 2016 election, and that he is believed to have discussed it with special counsel Robert Mueller. That memo reportedly featured a single “senior Russian official” who told Steele that there was chatter within Russia’s foreign ministry that Russia had effectively blocked Mitt Romney’s appointment as Secretary of State.

The official said that he was merely relaying talk circulating in the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but what he’d heard was astonishing: people were saying that the Kremlin had intervened to block Trump’s initial choice for Secretary of State, Mitt Romney. (During Romney’s run for the White House in 2012, he was notably hawkish on Russia, calling it the single greatest threat to the U.S.) The memo said that the Kremlin, through unspecified channels, had asked Trump to appoint someone who would be prepared to lift Ukraine-related sanctions, and who would coöperate on security issues of interest to Russia, such as the conflict in Syria. If what the source heard was true, then a foreign power was exercising pivotal influence over U.S. foreign policy—and an incoming President.

This is arguably more explosive than anything in the initial Steele dossier, which was made public in January of 2017 by BuzzFeed. That dossier suggested that Russia had a great deal of compromising material on Donald Trump, that it had cultivated him, and that it had aided his candidacy, possibly in exchange for the lifting of sanctions that had been placed after its annexation of Crimea. The second memo, however, suggests that Russia had actually done something with the leverage it purportedly had over Trump: It had blocked the appointment of a secretary of state who had made a hawkish stance on Russia one of his key policy positions when he ran for president in 2012. Rex Tillerson, who was eventually named secretary of state, was awarded the Order of Friendship by Vladimir Putin in 2013....

Oh yeah... REAL news huh? And Christopher Steele is SO honest and trustworthy. Why SHOULDN't you believe a guy who tried to plant his own stories to corroborate his own POS fantasy.. The one that Hillary paid for REAL Russians to collude on her behalf to win an election thru none other than lying Christopher Steele.

You GOT to be joking.. This resistance thingy is getting so desperate for relevancy..

You know what's funny? Most of the information about what Russia is doing to Trump is coming from Russia itself!

Know whats funnier? Americans who believe the russians lie and then trust their information

 

[MarathonMike]

So the same Russians that you Liberals have squealed about for a year dumping fake news to manipulate our election are now totally credible when they say something that fits your agenda?

Isn’t that rather odd...

It can come from multiple sources. In this case Steele.

And you believe them !!!!

ROTFLMAO

Not that I care. Russia isn't my concern. I am more concerned with the declining IQ you might propagate if you are allowed to have kids.

He's sooooooooooooooo stupid.

I will reiterate, my information comes from Jane Mayer of the New Yorker who says it comes from STEELE. (She has a long long history of digging deep and wide and has been given a slew of awards for her journalism excellence over the past 25 - 30 years).

This isn't hard.

You mean like Hillary Clinton and DNC who PAID to collude with lying Russian Intel Agents.. Damn man -- you're getting there...

Or were you talking about the traitors in the FBI who tried to pass off Russian liars to the FISA court. Either way -- you're right. There's a LOT of hypocritical gullible people out there.

I don't know how many people study the interpretation of facial expressions, body language, but to me, this photo speaks volumes about what a nice, sincere, down to earth man Trump really is and what a horse's ass Romney is. Of course, Mitt has already removed all doubt of that.

I can't believe that The Hill is reporting shit from the Steele Dossier.

Anything having to do with that should immediately be reassigned to the conspiracy sub-forum.

Every one is quoting from the dossier as NOTHING to date was been found to untrue. Nothing.

 

[centerleftFL]

Everyone is quoting from the Steele dossier as NOTHING, to date, has been found to be false or erroneous. I feel sure that Mueller is taking it quite seriously! Bet on it.

Good for them. Romney is such a pussy and that Tillerson guy is such a manly man. I bet he could even whip Putin in arm-wrestling.

Tillerson wouldn't fight Putin. Not after Putin decorated him.

To shake the hand of a murderer.

Sad. Very very sad. Not to mention dangerous.

 

[Dragonlady]

Oh please. If President Trump had nominated Romney for Secretary of State you regressives would had lost your minds and protested, just like you do for any and all of his nominations.

Mittens was at least qualified for the job - unlike Tillerson.

Tillerson is dismantling the State Department, destroying the foreign relations capabilities of the US government and its ability to negotiate trade deals and treaties around the world.

Does that sound like a goal Putin might have?

 

[Dragonlady]

Thanks, Vlad! What a great guy.

Well, that's a pretty vapid response.

Vladmir Putin is a great leader and we should be glad that he helped us avoid having a filthy neocon like Romney anywhere near the reigns of power.

Spoken like the true Russian troll farmer you are.
