Watergate Prosecutor Compares Trump's Putin Presser to Pearl Harbor
Quote:Are Trump critics shooting themselves in the foot by overreacting to Trump's controversial meeting with Vladimir Putin? All they had to do was react. The story practically wrote itself. The U.S. president sided with our adversary over his own intelligence community, which insists Russia interfered in our elections.
Instead of using the straightforward script they already have, several pundits are overdoing it by comparing Trump's performance in Helsinki to World War Two and the Holocaust. Former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks suggested that they are one in the same.
The Russian foreign agents' taking advantage of us is just as serious as the Cuban Missile Crisis or the September 11 attacks, Wine-Banks added.
Others are comparing Trump's Helsinki press conference to Watergate. Carl Bernstein, one half of the Washington Post duo who broke the scandal in the 1980s, invoked it to suggest Trump's relationship with Putin is a national security emergency.
“I think this is a moment for Republicans to define who they are as they did in Watergate when they decided we couldn’t have a criminal president of the United States," Bernstein said on CNN. "Republicans have to speak out and say we cannot have a president of the United States whose loyalty is being questioned.”

RE: Watergate Prosecutor Compares Trump's Putin Presser to Pearl Harbor
Am I the only one who finds it laughable that Dems are saying "you must believe the intelligence community!" When for years we've heard that the Intel community lies (see e.g. Iraq and WMDs). It used to be liberal position to be skeptical of what the government and Intel community says. Now Dems and Neo-Cons are marching lock step into cold war 2 with Russia.
From my view, Trump has the right to be highly skeptical of what the Intel community says. He's in the unique position to know with certainty that the Russia-Collusion narrative is false.

Meh, I saw two words from that article that tells it all, Cnn and WaPo. That tells me they'll use the chicken little storyline of "the sky is falling, the sky is falling".
Someone get me File 19.

Only club members can be given the master plan. Too bad for you. Go and hack the RNC server and maybe you'll find it.

RE: Watergate Prosecutor Compares Trump's Putin Presser to Pearl Harbor
I really do 'lub da idjuts'.......it simply makes is easier for me....
en macro, it's a serious cyst on my arse that won't go away....
oh wellzy.....
can't fix what's already broken in current principle.....one can only attempt to improve the current construct by strengthening the current version......we're hip deep into decades of total fk'n ignorance in understanding at this point......
what are the odds of that happening????
this is the 'last chance charlie' with #henceDJT relative to capitalism vs. socialism....and it doesn't matter what you think in relative terms....
#money/commercemovesthecrater
edit: what most cannot grasp is the macro side of the long term equation that politicized capitalism has become nothing more than wanting to play in the NBA with his biatch-arse sneakers......
and #henceDJT (of all fk'n people) is trying to stab 'em in the eye as cap'n.......
