Reading this it's worth noting that on paper Papadopoulos' Campaign Supervisor was Jeff Sessions. |

I think you're right, and this is definitely the story to watch. Papadopoulos is tied to the Steele dossier, and this is a second confirmation of direct collusion with Russians to influence the election with dirt on Hillary.

Has anybody posted this yet?
https://twitter.com/SethAbramson/sta...88473404256256 Twitter thread by a professor of law and journalism attempting to explain the ongoing developments. It's been going for several hours and is already at 130 tweets and I don't think he's finished. |

If I remember correctly, Trump's statement was that he asked for them to find the emails supposedly deleted from her private server when she was secretary of state, a system that, as far as I know, had never been affected by hacking. (i.e. its a different issue than the Democratic party email servers.)
So, Trump wasn't suggesting the release of information he knew existed, he was calling for a foreign entity to hack American computers. A stupid thing to do, but a different type of stupid. |

What is that supposed to mean?
Again, are you seriously suggesting that... oh, that's right. You were gone so long I almost forgot that you think everyone who disagrees with you is a colossal far-wing leftist. Or at least you pretend to think that. Well, if and when the whole Trump edifice collapses, I look forward to reading your hysterical excuses. |

Great. If Tony Podesta broke the law, he can go to jail too.
The investigation into Podesta and his firm grew out of investigators’ examination of Manafort’s finances. Manafort organized a PR campaign on behalf of a nonprofit called the European Centre for a Modern Ukraine. Podesta Group was one of several firms that were paid to do work on the PR campaign to promote Ukraine in the U.S. Or maybe it all has to do with Manafort. Either way, we'll find out. You have some of that ... you know... evidence ? Or just the_donald conspiracy theories ? |

Newt Gingrich Robert Mueller is superb choice to be special counsel. His reputation is impeccable for honesty and integrity. Media should now calm down |

First of all, you are assuming that Trump is actually smart/clever enough to engage in any sort of mocking. Given the fact that Trump has an intelligence level roughly the same as Forrest Gump, it would be correct to be skeptical of a claim that its just 'mockery'.
But lets give him the benefit of the doubt... lets say he really didn't want Russia/China to hack into Clinton's emails. Its still a joke/comment of a very questionable nature. (There are some things you don't joke about.) Keep in mind that at the time, multiple Republican congress critters also criticized Trump fro his comments. |
