The flashback episode that sets up the two-part finale.
it means Trump knows and acknowledges Russia interfered in the election and was fine with it because it got him elected and he gave them the go ahead to do it again
I think at this point he would declare bankruptcy and run.You know what, I'm sorry. I am like 90% convinced at this point he totally wants to be convicted. It's his exit ramp from this nightmare. He never wanted to be President. But he has too much of an ego to ever quit. I think he thinks he's going to lose in 2020, or he's at the very least absolutely terrified of it. You can't tell me he wouldn't prefer to be impeached and then removed by the GOP. Then, he can set up his news network and rail against the "elites" and the "ESTABLISHMENT" and go around and get his sycophants to come to random rallies and cheer for him.
I am like 90% on board with this at this point.

President Trump told two senior Russian officials in a 2017 Oval Office meeting that he was unconcerned about Moscow's interference in the U.S. election because the United States did the same in other countries, an assertion that prompted alarmed White House officials to limit access to the remarks to an unusually small number of people, according to three former officials with knowledge of the matter.
The comments, which have not been previously reported, were part of a now-infamous meeting with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak, in which Trump revealed highly classified information that exposed a source of intelligence on the Islamic State. He also said during the meeting that firing FBI Director James B. Comey the day before had relieved "great pressure" on him.
A memorandum summarizing the meeting was limited to all but a few officials with the highest security clearances in an attempt to keep the president's comments from being disclosed publicly, according to the former officials, who requested anonymity to discuss sensitive matters.
Repubs, this is yours to own. How much punishment are you willing to take?
The dam sure feels like it finally broke.Trump told Russian officials in 2017 he wasn't concerned about Moscow's interference in U.S. election

The whistleblower started it and with the impeachment announcement, WH officials probably feel that its inevitable this shit gets out sooner rather than later. They probably see signs on the wall that there is a ticking clock on Trump and now they don't really have to fear for their jobs anymore... because they are about to be relieved of their duties anyway.So is all this stuff coming out now because people who had previously not disclosed this to the media are emboldened?
He can't finish a sentence. You give him way too much creditYou know what, I'm sorry. I am like 90% convinced at this point he totally wants to be convicted. It's his exit ramp from this nightmare. He never wanted to be President. But he has too much of an ego to ever quit. I think he thinks he's going to lose in 2020, or he's at the very least absolutely terrified of it.

More like they see the real threat of Impeachment, see Rudy getting set us asa fall guy, and not wanting to be the Scooter Libby of this affair, are trying to position themselves as witnesses and get legal protection should they need it.So is all this stuff coming out now because people who had previously not disclosed this to the media are emboldened?
While all the people with brains can actually read between the lines.The great thing about Amodei is that Republicans are stupid enough to fall for his non denial statement.
Possibly that. Possibly they think this is going to come out because we may get access to this more secure server. Some of them are probably just wanting to protect their own ass. Some because they can read the room and know this shit is going to pop off and they wanna be as far away from it as humanly possible.So is all this stuff coming out now because people who had previously not disclosed this to the media are emboldened?
Rudy is a real fucking hero bro, and real human being.First page is nothing but Rudy and luke-warm takes. I expect a lot better from you folks, going forward.
No he doesn't want to quit. He wants to keep enriching himself through emoluments from his various properties, free taxfunded trips to his golf resorts and basically do nothing and watch Fox news all day. Why would he want to stop that? All Democrats and news media is doing is distracting him from that good life.You know what, I'm sorry. I am like 90% convinced at this point he totally wants to be convicted. It's his exit ramp from this nightmare. He never wanted to be President. But he has too much of an ego to ever quit.

You either die a hero... or you live long enough to become a Rudy.
