DIRECTOR, THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. I WANT TO CLEAR UP SOME THINGS. I WANT TO MAKE SURE I UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT YOU TESTIFIED TO ON THE ISSUE OF WHETHER SECRETARY CLINTON SENT OR RECEIVED E-MAILS THAT WERE MARKED AS CLASSIFIED. ON TUESDAY YOU STATED ONLY A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF THE E-MAILS CONTAINING CLASSIFIED INFORMATION OR MARKINGS, I EMPHASIZE OR MARKINGS, INDICATING PRESENCE OF CLASSIFIED INFORMATION. REPUBLICANS HAVE POUNCED ON THIS STATEMENT AS EVIDENCE THAT SECRETARY CLINTON LIED. BUT TODAY WE LEARNED SOME SIGNIFICANT NEW FACTS. I HOPE THE PRESS LISTENS TO THIS. FIRST, YOU CLARIFY THAT YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT ONLY THREE E-MAILS OUT OF 30,000. YOUR OFFICE REVIEWED. IS THAT RIGHT? THREE, YES. 3 OUT OF 30,000, IS THAT RIGHT? YES. AT LEAST 30,000. AT LEAST 30,000. SECOND, YOU CONFIRM THAT THESE THREE E-MAILS WERE NOT PROPERLY MARKED AS CLASSIFIED AT THE TIME BASED ON FEDERAL GUIDELINES AND MANUALS. THEY DID NOT HAVE A CLASSIFICATION HEADERS. THEY DID NOT LIST THE ORIGINAL CLASSIFIER, THE AGENCY, OFFICE OF ORIGIN, REASON FOR CLASSIFICATION OR DATE FOR DE-CLASSIFICATION. THESE E-MAILS INCLUDED ONLY A SINGLE QUOTE, C AND THEN END OF QUOTATION MARK FOR CONFIDENTIAL ONE PARAGRAPH LOWER DOWN IN THE TEXT, IS THAT RIGHT? CORRECT. THIRD, YOU TESTIFIED THAT BASED ON THESE FACTS IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A, QUOTE, REASONABLE INFERENCE FOR SECRETARY CLINTON TO, QUOTE, IMMEDIATELY CONCLUDE THAT THE E-MAILS WERE NOT CLASSIFIED. SO THAT WAS ALSO CRITICAL NEW INFORMATION. BUT THERE IS ONE MORE CRITICAL FACT THAT THESE E-MAILS WERE NOT — TO THE PRESS THESE E-MAILS WERE NOT CLASSIFIED. THE STATE DEPARTMENT EXPLAINED TO US YESTERDAY THEY REPORTED THAT THESE E-MAILS ARE NOT CLASSIFIED AND THAT INCLUDING THIS LITTLE C ON THESE E-MAILS WAS RESULT OF HUMAN ERROR. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THOSE LITTLE Cs SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ON THOSE DOCUMENTS BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT, IN FACT, CLASSIFIED.

CBS has a special tonight at 10:
The Mueller Report: A Turning Point
An in-depth look at the findings of the investigation into President Donald Trump, his aides, allies and associates concerning whether there was coordination with the Kremlin to win the White House and if the president obstructed justice.
How the fuck are they going to take an in-depth look at a report they haven’t fucking seen.
Gah—I guess I need to find a movie to watch this evening. (Last night, I watched all 6 parts of the 1995 Pride and Prejudice, for about the 20th time. Five plus hours of Colin Firth calmed me down some, until I turned the computer back on. Sigh. Spit.)

Something to contemplate: The DNC winning the House last November is the only reason that we can even contemplate things like bringing Mueller and Barr into an open session for questioning or waging a fight to get the report’s full release. If the GOP had kept the House, the matter would have died yesterday and we’d already be gearing up for Emailgate 2: Electric Boogaloo.
Treason is a rare charge in the United States. One who was charged, and convicted, was World War II AAF pilot Martin James Monti. This mastermind defected to the Nazis with a P-38 Lightning in October 1944, when the Reich was clearly on the ropes and just had 6 months to live. He was sentenced to 25 years on the treason charge and actually served 11. He died in obscurity in 2000, aged 79.

That was “adhering to their (the United States’) enemies, giving them aid and comfort”. Unfortunately, after fighting wars without declaring them for 75 years, we have no enemies.
I used to say what tRump did therefore didn’t qualify as treason, but I now realize this is a two-way street. Since the GRU, not just the FSB, was involved in the cyberattack, that makes it an act of war, and therefore makes Russia our “enemy”, to as great an extent as is necessary to hang Donny.

Another president, a smarter president, would have declared the matter “resolved” and pushed the country to “move on.” But he’s instead going to start demanding punishment for those who questioned his divine right to rule and it’s going to only fuel the demands for the full report to be made public.

One would think so, but according to the BBC’s final update tonight:
Prime Minister Theresa May indicated earlier that she will engage with MPs over the result of the votes but said there is no guarantee she will abide by their decision.

The dumbest thing they could possibly do in all this is what they are doing: Treating it as an absolute truth that Trump was “exonerated.” Which does nothing but back them into a corner now, forced to defend any and all efforts to keep the report from ever seeing the light of day.

If this continues, what stops each administration’s DOJ from refusing to enforce any laws passed by any previous Congress? Chaos would ensue.
The USA has been a stable republic (except for that one little incident around 1861-65) because The Law and The Constitution have been considered sacrosanct by every sitting government since 1789. Once someone yanks that foundation stone out, the stability of the USA ends. We’ll become another, but larger banana republic.

True it would be devastating for the GOP and Trump, but tens of millions would lose their health insurance. It would be fun looking at the GOP suddenly facing a massive national revolt without a clue as to how to proceed. If that happened, Pelosi should just introduce a bill to let the uninsured sign up for Medicare, and dare the GOP to come up with an alternative.

No, his caucus will instead insist upon blaming the DNC for the “crisis,” declaring that if they’d just worked together with the GOP in 2017 as they were asked, then there would be an alternative in place by now. But they refused because they wanted to deny Trump a “victory” and so are responsible for the “crisis” that now exists due to the DOJ refusing to defend the ACA.

They can try, but that’s not going to fly with the voters, who were already energized to vote against the GOP on healthcare in 2018 by a ten million vote margin.

They will try, because it’s really all they have at this point, blaming the DNC for the “crises” they create. And offering “solutions” that can only be enacted if they keep the White House and regain the House of Reps. Oh, and a filibuster-proof Senate, but they’ll settle for just ending the filibuster altogether if they can attain the first two.
Killing the ACA may also be happening so Trump can throw a final “Fuck you” to John Mccain.
