Every time he used the word "deconstruct" the missing part was "and sell to the highest bidder".<br /> I just don't think they know what they're doing very much, and details like not being able to enlist parts of the DoJ to help them manage the optics of their behavior don't occur to them. Which makes their insular tendencies all the more dangerous.<br /><br /> -Doug in Oakland dinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-4370211563729891552017-02-26T11:46:49.702-05:002017-02-26T11:46:49.702-05:00CM, Two things.

The FBI "institutional memory" was sufficiently weak for Director Comey to release a letter three days before the election that arguably threw the election to Trump. Priebus had reasons to hope the FBI would go along.<br /><br />2. I think the easiest way to understand the Republican adoration of Putin is to realize that the Repugs don't hate Russia per se. They hated communism. Communism is bad. But now Russia is a kleptocracy. Repugs like kleptocracy, admire it, want to do it to the US. If you keep that in mind you can understand why the Repugs have no difficulty accepting a Russian agent of influence as President.<br /><br />That said, I totally agree with you that the attempt to enlist the FBI to lie for them was vile.

If that isn't fascism someone will need to get back to Merriam Webster and fix that.<br />troll hunting can be fun!<br />w3skiw3skihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993709956954374919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7924773307171301256.post-43714726011291359152017-02-26T03:58:03.877-05:002017-02-26T03:58:03.877-05:00There are several million Cold Warriors that must ...There are several million Cold Warriors that must be wondering why they endured long hours, endless training and drills, hazards of working with dangerous weapons, machinery, and terrible weather from the Arctic to deserts to jungles and storm tossed oceans, only to have fucking Orange Julius Caesar sell us out to his bro Putin. <br /><br />I hope the IC keep going until the truth is out and people go to jail. <br /><br />One encouraging post quoted a high ranking IC official who stated "He will die in prison." <br /><br />We can hope...<br /><br />Jack the Cold Warrior<br /><br /><br />And thanks for your blogposts...
