CNN: Comey Will Testify That Trump Pressured Him to End FBI Investigation Into His Russia Ties

Obstruction of justice, here we come

CNN is reporting today that when former FBI director James Comey testifies to Congress next week, he plans to confirm that Donald Trump did indeed try to pressure him into dropping the FBI investigation in the Trump gang’s ties with Russia.

Fired FBI director James Comey plans to testify publicly in the Senate as early as next week to confirm bombshell accusations that President Donald Trump pressured him to end his investigation into a top Trump aide’s ties to Russia, a source close to the issue said Wednesday.

Final details are still being worked out and no official date for his testimony has been set. Comey is expected to appear before the Senate Intelligence Committee, which is investigating possible connections between the Trump campaign and Russia during last year’s presidential election.

[…]

When he testifies, Comey is unlikely to be willing to discuss in any detail the FBI’s investigation into the charges of possible collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign — the centerpiece of the probe, this source said. But he appears eager to discuss his tense interactions with Trump before his firing, which have now spurred allegations that the president may have tried to obstruct the investigation. If it happens, Comey’s public testimony promises to be a dramatic chapter in the months-long controversy, and it will likely bring even more intense scrutiny to an investigation that Trump has repeatedly denounced as a “witch hunt.”

We’re getting closer and closer to proof that the Trump administration engaged in a coverup and attempted obstruction of justice.

Is it really a cover up if we all saw it as it was happening?

We’ll only hear two questions from the Republicans on the committee, repeated over and over again: “Is there evidence of collusion?” and “Should leakers be prosecuted?” Why? because they’ve no interest in actually deepening the shit they’re currently in.

FNC Host: Now former showboating FBI director Comey, who the president can fire for any reason whenever, is suggesting that the president pressured him to drop his witch hunt investigation into the president’s record-breaking campaign win. But all this is pretty regular conduct for a president, isn’t it, Mr. FNC Guest?

FNC Guest: Of course. Nothing to see here, except a grandstanding former FBI director who politicized his investigation and deserved to be fired.

Baroque painter Artemisia Gentileschi painted Judith beheading Holofernes in a most physical manner, including running blood. According to the Wikipedia, she painted her mentor, Agostino Tassi, as Holofernes and she is Judith. Apparently, this was Gentilischi’s way of getting even with Tassi after the rape verdict against him was annulled.

Now that is completely badass, compared to Kathy Griffin.

Yeah, and in addition you have GOP congresscritter, Tim Walberg, saying this stupid shit:

“I believe there’s been climate change since the beginning of time. I believe there are cycles. Do I think man has some impact? Yeah, of course. Can man change the entire universe? No.Why do I believe that? Well, as a Christian, I believe that there is a creator in God who is much bigger than us. And I’m confident that, if there’s a real problem, He can take care of it.” (My emphasis)

Why do we bother to research medical interventions? After all, God could heal everyone!!!

Why bother to grow crops? God could feed everyone!!!

Why bother to wipe your own ass? God could make clean the unclean!!!

re: #80 KGxvi

Even if the Republican Party didn’t survive, the Dixiecrats would have still existed. There’d still be a sizable population that believes the Confederacy was a noble idea. There’d still be some sort of conservative party in the US. It’d just have a different name.

Looking back, I think the veneer of civilization the Republicans ended up with due to Ike and WFB has been the single most damaging historical contingency in US politics.

The confederates and cranks are inevitable, but they would have done much less damage if they were seen for what they are.

Perhaps. Maybe if Ike runs as a Democrat (or doesn’t run at all), we end up with a scenario where the Dixiecrats become a regional party in the South (constantly fucking shit up on Civil Rights); making them somewhat analogous to the Liberal Party in the UK. Usually not big enough to have a majority, but occasionally needed to form a working government?

Or maybe it gets worse? Maybe the Dixiecrats are able to so control the South politically that almost every election gets sent to Congress and we end up with a President Wallace and Vice President Thurmond by 1960.

Once Nixon resigned, the Democrat was a pretty sure bet to win the presidency in 1976. The pardon didn’t help, but the immensity of Watergate was probably great enough to decide the ‘76 election three years earlier.

Almost certainly true: but unfortunately, Trump’s mob ties (as are probably all NY RE “moguls’”) are likely to be shielded by layer after layer of middlemen, contractors, sub-contractors, front companies, etc.; it’s the way both the moguls and the mobsters do business: so it’s unlikely (though a pleasant-enough prospect to contemplate) we’re going to find “Paulie Roast Beef” on the WH invite list….

I gotta go open some windows. A certain stank just came out of my computer. Smells like troll.

He’s been playing this particular game for years. Likes to change his display handle to make it a little less obvious, maybe tell a few jokes in between stupid reactionary posts that he never follows up on or engages about. It’s really pretty boring and I have yet to see any consistent political beliefs espoused.

“Evil conservative,” I know, I’ve read it. But nothing you type is conservative. It’s reactionary. You never actually try to have a conversation. You drop your “clever” little barbs and then never actually engage in any kind of substantive conversation, which apparently you’re feeling defensive about.

I can respect someone who has a coherent philosophy built from strongly held principles. If you think that what’s happening now is just fine, your principles apparently include “it’s okay if it keeps my party in power” because I don’t otherwise see how you can advocate for things like “rule of law” or “justice” without massive hypocrisy.

You aren’t doing anything to actually make this not an “echo chamber,” you’re merely coming in to shit on the floor because you feel like it.

And it would further explain the cagey (and perhaps too cute by half) responses by the FBI about surveillance on Trump tower. When you’ve got all kinds of people in the building, some of whom might have unsavory backgrounds, you don’t want to give away that you’re engaging in surveillance against one or more targets.

Trump surveillance is separate and distinct from that on those mob targets, but depending on how the question was phrased, you could say that the building was under surveillance and not be wrong.

We also now know that there were parties to Trump’s campaign/transition/admin that were under surveillance too.

Is there an intersection of the two that goes beyond the mere landlord/tenant relationship? Well, considering whatever surveillance/paper trail, that remains to be seen.

I was always taught to remove outliers but with strict rules. It was always done as:

B. Done as a pair, at both the high and low point of the data set.

I agree it’s a kludgey and outmoded way of reducing noise and removing human error. A holdover from when data gathering was done almost entirely by hand.

That is a hell of a lot of extra mass, manpower, and acreage required to do what Space X has already accomplished with remotely recoverable primary stages. Probably saves something by using Aviation Fuel instead of liquid rocket propellant but I can’t help but feel like this thing is obsolescent right out of the box.

Burt Rutan is probably pissed off the thing has normalish looking cockpit windows instead of a shit ton of circular port holes.

A lot of the vitriol is a joke, but they really do suck. Radio pop tunes are not the measure of a good band.

If it’s based on how many people they draw to a concert, they’re a good band. If it’s based on how many of their songs will be sung 30 years from now, they’re not a good band.

It absolutely is a boondoggle. We’ve never even tried to simulate real world conditions, things any determined adversary would do like deploy chaff or decoy warheads, tumbling unstable warheads, inbound phase maneuverability.

Space X’s rockets are only reusable 10-20 times. I haven’t looked into the stratolaunch at all, but am assuming it essentially replaces the first rocket stage. If that is the case, over time I could see where it could be more cost effective than even space X.

I have my doubts. For one thing the second stage body is going to have to be a lot stronger and hence more massive to deal with the lateral loads produced by being suspended horizontally in flight. Then there’s all the other shit that goes with an airplane that large, maintenance on six turbojets, hydraulics for all those control surfaces, a presumably (maybe not) human flight crew.

You know why we have trade deficits, Donnie Small Hands? Because our economy is doing better than everyone else’s, so our goods are more expensive for them, while theirs are cheaper for us.

Latest WannaCry Theory: Currency Manipulation

Thycotic’s cyber security and digital forensics expert, Joseph Carson, has an alternative theory: the motive behind Wannacry was effectively insider trading following currency manipulation. Bitcoin was the real target….

If you want to manipulate Bitcoin value, he told SecurityWeek, you cause a sudden increase in the number of users. This is most easily measured by the number of Bitcoin wallets in existence. A global ransomware outbreak, demanding payment by Bitcoin, would certainly have such an effect: both direct victims and judicious organizations are likely to obtain wallets.

“WannaCry,” he suggested, “was a sleight of hand, a deception. The ransomware was merely a mechanism to get a large number of people to open a Bitcoin wallet — and that by itself would drive up the value of Bitcoin.” It could almost be described as a version of insider trading based on a sophisticated form of ‘pump and dump’: the criminals could invest in Bitcoin, pump its value through encouraging the growth of wallets, and then dump the Bitcoin to take their profits.

You’d think that, but you’d be wrong. Trump simply parrots talking points because he doesn’t understand concepts like trade imbalances. His supporters don’t know how this works either, so if Trump says it, they believe him.

It’s something that has to be solved - bigly.

Of course, Trump’s solution has nothing to do with trade balances, but will add costs to US consumers (because that’s who ultimately pays for this stuff).

Strong/weak dollar. Types of goods/services purchased/sold. All of that plays into how trade imbalances occur. We want lots of cheap clothes and goods, so we buy them from Vietnam. Vietnam doesn’t need as much sophisticated services or goods (think aircraft, legal/accounting services, etc., and has other places it buys fuel from) so we buy more stuff from Vietnam than they buy from US.

So, what we need to do is to add a tariff to all Vietnamese goods sold in America, so we won’t buy as many!

Of course, then Vietnam’s economy will grow more slowly, so they’ll be even less able to buy American goods, and the trade deficit will grow.

So we’ll have to increase the tariff….

He is selling his supporters the notion that Europe can afford its moocher social programs because they do not pay enough for defense, therefore they need to pony up so we are not indirectly paying for those europarasites.

And they have all rejected climate change outright ever since Al Gore and Obama came out in support of it because, well, they have to oppose anything they stand for.

As usual, he has no idea what he’s talking about—remember…

President Trump, according to Huffington Post, called his national security adviser Mike Flynn at 3 a.m. to ask a seemingly straightforward question: Is a strong dollar or weak dollar better for the U.S. economy?

And speaking of geniuses, smarmy Tom Coburn is now a climate scientist. His very insightful commentary goes something like this:

“You know, I went into the Congress in 1995 and they told me the same thing, the oceans are rising,” he continued. “Here we are some 22 years later, right? And what’s the difference? One millimeter? Two millimeters?”

“Is that it?” Varney wondered.

“I don’t know,” Coburn admitted

The National Ocean Service at NOAA reports that the global sea level average in 2014 “was 2.6 inches [66 millimeters] above the 1993 average.” The global sea level average “continues to rise at a rate of about one-eighth of an inch per year,” the report notes.

On our honeymoon, mr. klys and I went to Key West. (This is the honeymoon that happened, not the one we still insist is going to happen.)

Our first night there, we were exhausted because we took a redeye in. But. Food was required. We ended up at Jimmy Buffet’s Margaritaville.

Those were some good fucking margaritas. And the nachos? Swoon. (The secret was they used that orange cheese sauce like the movie style ones and I don’t care that shit is good I will fight you on this.)

I’ve been to the Margaritaville in Vegas and (the old one) in New Orleans, they really have to have good margaritas, given the motif. Keep meaning to go to Key West, but I worry that I’m so much of a parrothead that I might not come back. Just commander a boat and become a modern day pirate of the Caribbean.

We found the Key West one to be a lot better than the Vegas one.

But to be fair, we find Key West in general a hell of a lot better than Vegas. Probably the only part of FL I would actually consider living in.

I have my doubts. For one thing the second stage body is going to have to be a lot stronger and hence more massive to deal with the lateral loads produced by being suspended horizontally in flight. Then there’s all the other shit that goes with an airplane that large, maintenance on six turbojets, hydraulics for all those control surfaces, a presumably (maybe not) human flight crew.

Another obvious drawback of the Stratolaunch vehicle compared to Space X’s technology is that you can’t strap three of them together like you can with the Falcon 9 first stages to create a Falcon Heavy.

Alternate your use of the front brake and the rear brake. Each rim will cool as you brake on the other. Or get a new bike with disc brakes. Don’t overheat those, either.

It isn’t deploying because it is caught in a “burble” low pressure area on your back. That’s the cause of a jumper’s ‘pilot chute hesitation’. Jump rig pilot chutes pull out the main (old tech), and they have a spring to assist them.

I went 50 MPH once. Never again.

(I was drafting the big guy with the good hubs.)

First time I ever exceeded 40 mph, the bike started to shimmy. Scared the hell out of me! Then I got a professional fit that raised the saddle 1 cm, moved it forward 1 cm, and dropped the bars 1 cm. After that, no shimmy all the way up to 45.

Also no knee pain even after 5 hours and lots of climbing, which was really the point. Money well spent.

When a crosswind hooks that chute to a sign or car, the results will be disastrous.

I was thinking you don’t even need a cross wind. If the chute isn’t opening, it could drag on the ground and catch who knows what. It doesn’t take much…a little glitch and Steve’s butts on the ground.

I have a running feud with extension chords and my ShopVac as I work on my old house project. It is absolutely amazing what an extension chord can get caught on as you move the vacuum on it’s funky plastic wheels. How many chords on a parachute?

So, why not lampoon that?

Something like MSNBC has covfefe of Trump, especially Morning Joe, so I get my coverage of Trump from Fox.

Or, Katy Tur is terrible at covfefeing me. Sad!

How about Is CNN still doing covfefe of the Malaysian airliner?

Or maybe the Cable News people can use it in ads.

FOX News covfefe is not the same as actual factual news coverage like CNN? (work with it…I understand CNN has issues)

Or with newspapers.

We’ll only hear two questions from the Republicans on the committee, repeated over and over again: “Is there evidence of collusion?” and “Should leakers be prosecuted?” Why? because they’ve no interest in actually deepening the shit they’re currently in.

I don’t understand all this talk about “leakers”. What is the difference between a leaker and a whistleblower? Doesn’t this country protect whistleblowers from retaliation? If there are brave souls leaking information from the White House, they need to be lauded and encouraged because there is some serious mess going on up in there.

If there are brave souls leaking information from the White House, they need to be lauded and encouraged because there is some serious mess going on up in there.

If there’s any real difference, it’s that a “leaker” goes to the press while a “whistleblower” goes to the authorities.

re: #451 caseyjr

Same, I had been watching _Grantchester_, and was like seriously, wtf?

Mrs. FBW had been resting (still nursing her flu), so I took advantage of having the TV all to myself to watch Episode 1 of ‘Band Of Brothers’, which I’ve always thought was one of the best treatments of soldiers in wartime I’ve ever seen.

Halfway through, she came wandering out and sat down. I figured she’d want to watch something else, but when she said, “Can you pause it while I get a drink?”, I knew she was hooked. We ended up watching 3 episodes. She even watched through the D-Day -1 drop, and the taking and defense of Carentan - big, noisy, messy scenes.

THEN I checked a couple twitter feeds before bed, and that’s when I found ‘covfefe’.

Meanwhile, in the real world, it’s becoming more obvious with each passing week that the economy is struggling to keep the present pace of growth going.

A narcissistic President would create the same situation, but leaving a signing ceremony without signing, wandering off when talking to a foreign leader, and not understanding GWB’s statement about the Oval Office not having corners to hide in are not signs of narcissism.

Precisely. Which is what makes the response by so many Trumpers to the idea of a $15 Minimum Wage so galling - you know, where they gleefully post pics of automated kiosks at McDonalds?

I realize that what they’re doing is trying to make their own shitty lives seem better by shitting on somebody else, but seriously, leaving aside the sheer inhumanity of it, we’ve been making rich folks richer and poor folks poorer for 35 years, and the middle class is dwindling, and compensation is stagnant or worse. CLEARLY this isn’t working.

GOP Rep. Tim Walberg says God will ‘take care of’ climate change

Chill out, Earth — the Lord’s got this.

God will “take care of” climate change if it winds up being “a real problem,” a GOP congressman from Michigan suggested in a town hall meeting late last week.

“I believe there’s climate change. I believe there’s been climate change since the beginning of time. I think there are cycles,” Rep. Tim Walberg said in video obtained by HuffPost. “Do I think that man has some impact? Yeah, of course. Can man change the entire universe? No.”

“Why do I believe that? Well, as a Christian, I believe that there is a creator in God who is much bigger than us. And I’m confident that if there’s a real problem, he can take care of it.”

I hope the Rapture will take these idiots away soon, so the rest of us can get on with human progress.

God wrote the laws of physics, and gave us the intellectual capacity to discover and describe those laws, to recognize and measure and predict when those laws suggest matters of cause & effect.

He gave us the free will to do something about it, or not.

I don’t know what kind of toddler thinks God hasn’t met his obligations, and owes us to fix our own self-induced problems for us.

Precisely. Which is what makes the response by so many Trumpers to the idea of a $15 Minimum Wage so galling - you know, where they gleefully post pics of automated kiosks at McDonalds?

I realize that what they’re doing is trying to make their own shitty lives seem better by shitting on somebody else, but seriously, leaving aside the sheer inhumanity of it, we’ve been making rich folks richer and poor folks poorer for 35 years, and the middle class is dwindling, and compensation is stagnant or worse. CLEARLY this isn’t working.

This is the #1 reason Republicans and conservatives must deny reality.

We’ve tried it their way for decades and the results stink on ice.

Where I hit 45 was in town, <2 miles from home, about 300 yards from a Fire Station with paramedics.

The biggest issue was ‘will the light at the bottom of the hill stay green?’

I only really got to go 45mph for about 50 yards. But it was cool!

re: #281 Blind Frog Belly White

This fuckin’ guy.

You know why we have trade deficits, Donnie Small Hands? Because our economy is doing better than everyone else’s, so our goods are more expensive for them, while theirs are cheaper for us. Also, we have more money, so we can buy more stuff, whereas they have less money, so they can’t buy as much stuff.

This is pretty simple shit. You’d think Wharton might have taught it.

Wharton doesn’t do much economics. That’s taught in the School of Arts and Sciences, which I assume Trump avoided like a Vietnam draft.

My mom grew up in rural Georgia where you can easily buy ‘bawled peanuts’ on the side of the road. She told me that peanuts in RC was a treat growing up (and she loves boiled peanuts, which I never learned to like).

Then by that standard, why have police? God will protect us from crimes. What a fucking piece of shit maroon.

Or health care? If everything is in God’s hands and reflects God’s will, why do fundamentalists need doctors or medicine or hospitals? They should just pray and whatever happens is all part of God’s plan.
