    I don't think I saw this news yet - we all assumed that the threats were empty but it's nice to see it in print (even if it is from CNN).

    This should be read in tandem with the leaked audio of Paul Ryan and Kevin McCarthy discussing Putin was funding Trump.

    This was coming because this was basically their argument to the San Fran court as to the actual scope of the order. So another instance of "see you in court" turns into "ok maybe you're right....this time".

    But yes good to see them come out in some official declaration.

    I agree with everything you said except for the "they finally found someone" part of your comment, David Clarke is just another addition to the GOP justice league of black people that get it. He joins Clarence Thomas, Allen West, Herman Cain, Ben Carson, Allan Keyes among many others.

    5 moments that show Trump isn’t about to get any help from the intelligence community

    President Trump is looking for a little help from the intelligence community — but if Tuesday's hearings on Capitol Hill are any indication, he isn't likely to get it any time soon.

    The Washington Post reported on Monday that Trump asked two current intelligence officials, Adm. Mike Rogers, the head of the National Security Agency, and Dan Coats, the director of national intelligence, to “publicly deny the existence of any evidence of collusion during the 2016 election.

    They refused, saying it would be inappropriate. Another intelligence official told The Post Trump was intentionally trying to “muddy the waters” about the Russia investigation. The White House issued a short non-denial of The Post's story.

    Coats and former CIA director John Brennan testified in front of Senate committees on Tuesday, and their testimony didn't help Trump's case. At all. Here are five moments that stand out as being particularly unhelpful to the president:



    1) “It should be clear to everyone that Russia brazenly interfered in the 2016.” — Former CIA director John Brennan


    Why this is the opposite of what Trump wants to hear: Because the president has never said as much. At the start of his presidency, Trump was very hesitant to even acknowledge what U.S. intelligence agencies have concluded — 17 of them.

    And Brennan's declarative statement about Russians' intentions to harm U.S. democracy — “We are their principal nemesis,” he later said — would seem to be at odds with Trump's interactions with Russia since the election.

    During the campaign, Trump repeatedly refused to criticize Russian President Vladimir Putin. After moving into the White House, Putin was among the first foreign leaders called by Trump. Earlier this month, Trump welcomed top Russian officials (and their state photographer) into the Oval Office. He shared highly classified information with them.

    Trump's then-national security adviser had repeated contacts with Russian officials, including about U.S. sanctions, then lied about it. Attorney General Jeff Sessions has had to recuse himself from Russia investigations after he did not disclose to Congress his communications with the Russian ambassador. Jared Kushner has also had repeated contacts with Russians.

    “The Russian intelligence threat is a serious one, and this is just one manifestation of the nature of that threat,” Brennan said.



    2) “My radar goes up early when I see certain things, that I know what the Russians are trying to do, and I don't know whether or not the targets of their efforts are as mindful of Russian intentions as they need to be.” — Former CIA director John Brennan


    We're going to cheat here and give you another chunk of Brennan's testimony, about why all those contacts with Russians started an FBI investigation into potential Trump-Russian campaign collusion:



    “Having been involved in many counterintelligence, I know the Russians try … to get U.S. persons to try to act on their behalf, either wittingly or unwittingly. I was worried on the number of contacts Russians had with U.S. persons. By the time I left office, I had unresolved questions on my mind as to whether Russians had been successful in getting U.S. persons in to work on their behalf, either on witting or unwitting fashion. I felt as if the FBI investigation was certainly well-founded and needed to look into those issues.”


    Why this is not what Trump wants to hear: The President has aggressively pushed back against the fact the FBI is investigating his campaign's connections with Russia, going so far as to ask top intelligence officials to publicly say there is no evidence of collusion.

    But Brennan says that FBI investigation is “well-founded.”

    Brennan made clear that he only had suspicions that Russia may be using members of the Trump campaign to undermine the election. But his suspicions were enough to refer everything he knew to the FBI, which is now waist-deep in a months-long, mostly covert investigation into this very thing. We learned last week that the FBI has is not just looking into people loosely associated with his campaign but with one senior official working in the White House right now who is close to the president.



    3) “[T]hese are contacts that might have been totally, totally innocent and benign as well as those that might have succumbed somehow to those Russian efforts.” — Former CIA director John Brennan


    Why this is not what Trump wants to hear: Brennan said that Russia's modus operandi is to try to use, influence, win over or blackmail people to do its bidding. And sometimes, these people don't even know they are being used by Russia. Brennan's comments raise the possibility that the FBI is investigating whether Trump campaign officials were essentially tricked by Russia into helping them, which is safe to assume is not a possibility Trump wants out there.



    4) “I believe they tried to damage and bloody her before the election.” — Former CIA director John Brennan


    Why this is not what Trump wants to hear: There's one reason Trump spent months denying there was any Russian interference, let alone allegations his
    campaign helped. To acknowledge Russia tried to help him win threatened to call into question the legitimacy of that victory. Trump won three states by less than 1 percentage point and did not win the popular vote.

    Brennan is underscoring here that the Russians actively tried to make Clinton look unpalatable to voters, whether by hacking into her campaign's emails or using sophisticated propaganda.

    This conversation came about after Rep. Mike Quigley (R-Ill.) whether Brennan thought Russia was trying to hurt Clinton or to help Trump. His answer: Both. Putin didn't like the Clintons; he thought Clinton's actions as secretary of state led to protests against Putin's power. And Brennan also surmised that Putin may have liked the idea of a businessman as president, a n outsider who might be more amenable to negotiations with the Russians.



    5) “Any political shaping of (the intelligence community) would not be appropriate. I have made my position clear on that to this administration, and I intend to maintain that position.” — Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats


    Why this is not what Trump wants to hear: President Trump has been looking for some help from the intelligence community to diffuse the Russia investigation any way he can. Coats is part of Trump's inner circle of national security advisers, and is reportedly present at most, if not all, of Trump's intelligence briefings.

    And Coats was one of the officials Trump looked to for public support, apparently asking Coats and NSA Director Adm. Michael S. Rogers to issue public statements saying there is no evidence of collusion between the Trump campaign and Russian officials.

    But this statement from Coats, who earlier in the hearing declined to answer a specific question about his conversations with Trump, makes it clear that he isn't going to make excuses for Trump, especially concerning an ongoing investigation.

    One of the things Trump expects from his staff — really, everyone in his administration — is loyalty. And while Coats declined to discuss their private conversations, his assertion that interference from Trump would be inappropriate is, in its own way, a public rebuke.

    Politicians like Gowdy, Ryan, McConnell, etc may never be guilty of or even accused of any wrong doing but there should be a way to punish people that damage the country as they have. Being voted out of office seems like not enough.

    Right. So they refused to speak even after being given heightened intelligence signals.

    It builds the narrative that the men put Party over Country, at multiple steps. They actively made the choice to turn their back on the American people.

    My theory on fox falling in the ratings is that they aren't losing viewers for being too far right, but not far enough. Their base (lunatics) are baby boomers who have only recently learned how to internet and smart phone, and now go to the deepest corners of pepememestormfrontland to get fair and balanced reporting.

    Hannity will probably leave soon, as his people think his patriotism is being marginalized there.

    My theory is that there's just more people who are viewing nightly news during Trump and they aren't turning on Fox.

    How many people itt are watching CNN/MSNBC/whatever nightly and didn't a year ago?
