He went OFF

Trump just went OFF about SpyGate in the press conference. 🍿

That's been a big debate within the reporter circles that I know, whether or not people like David Corn, Tapper, and others would be pursued for their role in spreading the dossier. The consensus of people I talk to consider this unlikely, and I tend to agree. If there's going to be anything blowing back on the media in a legal sense, I think it would come in the form of libel/slander suits. Durham and Barr have a job to do, they are the only ones who can do it (prosecute the gov't officials). But the People (broadly) are the only ones who can crush the media by tuning them out and not giving them our dollars. That's a MUCH bigger battle to come.

No arguments I thought it was BillsMisery or whoever that was that said the comment about being judged, maybe it was Frank. I've had a busy past 5 days so I missed a bit I'm sure.

Comey, McCabe, and Brennan definitely want Assange to stay silent -- as well as the Clinton machine and everyone involved in the fake dossier. Remember, Comey had a deal to bring Assange to the states WILLINGLY in 2017. Assange offered NOT to release the Vault 7 data taken from CIA in exchange for coming in from the cold and giving the FBI information on who gave Wikileaks the DNC, DCC and Podesta emails. Comey -- working with Senator Warner on the Senate intel commission -- SPIKED this deal... at the cost of releasing the CIA cyber-warfare toolkit into the wild. That's how scared of what Assange has to say Comey, the establishment DNC, and the Obama White House was. Assange is the only person in the world who can confirm where he got the "hacked" documents from. And if he can prove that it wasn't a hack, wasn't from a Russian or a Russian proxy -- and was, say, a leak from within the DNC by a deceased staffer -- that would be catastrophic to the entire media/DNC/establishment narrative they've been pushing for four years. Assange must never be allowed to talk if you're in the Clinton, Obama, or establishment camp. Trump wants him here, protected and talking.

@BillsFanNC already answered well -- but I didn't want to ignore this good question. If Durham comes back with no more indictments and a report that promises "institutional fixes" to the multiple issues at play here (beyond just the FISC and 702 program), then we have a MUCH bigger problem than just a rabid and partisan media. There are at least a dozen (if not more) unelected officials who broke the law and took part in a seditious conspiracy against the People of the United States. The evidence to make the cases against these people available in open source, let alone what's left behind the walls of declassification, is clear and definitive on that matter. If Barr and Durham let those people walk in order to protect the institutions, then it will show they aren't the people we hoped they are. It would be a betrayal of everything they've been supposedly working for since Barr took over. And if it happens before November 3rd, it likely costs Trump the election. To be clear, I do not expect any politicians to be indicted (meaning Obama, Clinton, Biden, or Kerry), and I've long said it's doubtful (though possible) that the cappos of the USIC would get indicted (meaning Brennan, Clapper, Hayden, Morrell) due to the complications which would arise from putting former intel heads on trial. But that leaves a swath of high ranking 7th floor types, directors, and cabinet officials like: McCabe, Comey, Strzok, Rice, Lynch, Page, Baker, Priestep, Winer, Nuland + more vulnerable. There needs to be a reckoning within that group, and I still suspect there will be. The media will "pounce" regardless as BillsFanNC pointed out, but that will be the least of our problems as a country if Durham doesn't deliver more than just Clinesmith. Not because of politics or partisanship, but because it would signal a surrender to the establishment machine and leave us living in the illusion of a free republic wherein the People have a say in who is elected to leadership, rather than living in an actual free republic.

100% What this really does is put into context how big of a role Jake played in spreading the dossier, not within the media but within the US gov't. That makes him a cut-out for some nefarious interests.

It's not a bad list at all -- though I'd argue at least Frank will have a conversation, so will Buftex on the rare blue moon. Kemp used to be capable but no more.

Him and his wife -- both big players in team establishment. Jake is as dishonest as they come.

It's not as if I said I didn't want the job and recommended several others for it or anything

Which only proves you haven’t paid a lick of attention to reality the past four years.

By telling them not to buy Russian oil of course, and by moving troops to Poland which is closer to the Russian border.

PPP is “dark and seedy”. Why, Shoshin? Show your work. And what agenda is that? Show your work.

...See, having a present mod would make things like this less frequent.

Now we can add some good ol' fashion homophobia to his misogyny post earlier today. Billsmisery is off to a swell start in PPP

All true. And it's always the most self righteous out there, who think they're champions of the minority and fighting the good fight against bullies and fascists who immediately unleash the most vile, bullying, and fascists statements and ideas in response. Always

And did all that while becoming the first president in recent history not to start, enlarge, or inflame any new wars -- while getting all the soldiers pay raises. MONSTER!

It's hard to be witty and write in proper English, I know. Keep trying. One day you'll get there.
