Who the hell could miss him? He looks big enough to plug the hole in the Lake Oroville spillway in that picture.

Save the faux outrage for something real.

just really curious how you are outraged over emails but not this. do you really believe trump did not order this? us intelligence has been able to confirm some of the claims of the leaked dossier.

when will you be outraged? when will it be real for you?

What specifically are you talking about?

What did Trump order? His future NSA talking with other countries during the transition? That is standard operating procedure for every incoming administration and has been done since the beginning of time. There's a reason the Logan Act has never been observed. They would be neglecting their duties if they were not doing that.

According to the Washington Post, the FBI reviewed the transcript of the call Flynn had and there was nothing illicit or confidential in the call. Actually, I believe the FBI announced there was no wrongdoing by Flynn in the call based on the transcript. The only issue I see here is Flynn lying to Pence and making him look like a fool a week later. That's a fireable offense and he was held accountable and paid the price.

In terms of the dossier, your comment above is anything ranging from intellectually dishonest to completely false.

None of the newly learned information relates to the salacious allegations in the dossier. Rather it relates to conversations between foreign nationals. The dossier details about a dozen conversations between senior Russian officials and other Russian individuals. Sources would not confirm which specific conversations were intercepted or the content of those discussions due to the classified nature of US intelligence collection programs.

But the intercepts do confirm that some of the conversations described in the dossier took place between the same individuals on the same days and from the same locations as detailed in the dossier, according to the officials. CNN has not confirmed whether any content relates to then-candidate Trump.

Nothing said about Trump in the dossier was confirmed. Not a word. This is craziness. It's crying wolf over and over and over and over again. It's making things up out of thin air. To answer your question, I will be outraged if Trump doesn't follow through on what he said he was going to do. Or more likely, I will be outraged when the Republican Congress sits on their ass and doesn't push his agenda through.

The only outrageous behavior I've seen since January 20th is from the sore-loser Democrats in Congress and the media.

WASHINGTON — Phone records and intercepted calls show that members of Donald J. Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign and other Trump associates had repeated contacts with senior Russian intelligence officials in the year before the election, according to four current and former American officials.

American law enforcement and intelligence agencies intercepted the communications around the same time that they were discovering evidence that Russia was trying to disrupt the presidential election by hacking into the Democratic National Committee, three of the officials said. The intelligence agencies then sought to learn whether the Trump campaign was colluding with the Russians on the hacking or other efforts to influence the election.

The officials interviewed in recent weeks said that, so far, they had seen no evidence of such cooperation.

But the intercepts alarmed American intelligence and law enforcement agencies, in part because of the amount of contact that was occurring while Mr. Trump was speaking glowingly about the Russian president, Vladimir V. Putin. At one point last summer, Mr. Trump said at a campaign event that he hoped Russian intelligence services had stolen Hillary Clinton’s emails and would make them public.

The officials said the intercepted communications were not limited to Trump campaign officials, and included other associates of Mr. Trump. On the Russian side, the contacts also included members of the Russian government outside of the intelligence services, the officials said. All of the current and former officials spoke on the condition of anonymity because the continuing investigation is classified.

The officials said that one of the advisers picked up on the calls was Paul Manafort, who was Mr. Trump’s campaign chairman for several months last year and had worked as a political consultant in Russia and Ukraine. The officials declined to identify the other Trump associates on the calls.
