Fire Michael Flynn!

The NY Times really gets the goods on Team Trump's collusion with the Russians! Oh, spoiler alert provided by the Daily Caller:

Go Straight To The Fifth Paragraph Of The Latest NYT ‘Bombshell’ On Russia Collusion

...

But the (few) readers who make it to the fifth paragraph and are paying attention will realize there’s not actually much meat to the report. That paragraph hedges on the information collected by the spies, and notes the reporter has no real clue whether Russian officials actually made any attempt to influence the Trump aides in question. Oh yeah and the Trump campaign as well as both aides have consistently denied the longstanding accusations of collusion with Russia.

Because she is THAT GOOD Rachel Stoltzfoos of the DC puts their spoiler in the fourth paragraph. Who has time to read?

But let me excerpt some of the many caveats in the Times hot-air burst. Let's set the stage with the dramatic lead!

Top Russian Officials Discussed How to Influence Trump Aides Last Summer

WASHINGTON — American spies collected information last summer revealing that senior Russian intelligence and political officials were discussing how to exert influence over Donald J. Trump through his advisers, according to three current and former American officials familiar with the intelligence.

The conversations focused on Paul Manafort, the Trump campaign chairman at the time, and Michael T. Flynn, a retired general who was advising Mr. Trump, the officials said. Both men had indirect ties to Russian officials, who appeared confident that each could be used to help shape Mr. Trump’s opinions on Russia.

Paragraph five puts us on the fast-track to Caveat City:

The information collected last summer was considered credible enough for intelligence agencies to pass to the F.B.I., which during that period opened a counterintelligence investigation that is continuing. It is unclear, however, whether Russian officials actually tried to directly influence Mr. Manafort and Mr. Flynn. Both have denied any collusion with the Russian government on the campaign to disrupt the election.

The Times account of former CIA head Brennan's testimony to Congress is comical:

John O. Brennan, the former director of the C.I.A., testified Tuesday about a tense period last year when he came to believe that President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia was trying to steer the outcome of the election. He said he saw intelligence suggesting that Russia wanted to use Trump campaign officials, wittingly or not, to help in that effort. He spoke vaguely about contacts between Trump associates and Russian officials, without giving names, saying they “raised questions in my mind about whether Russia was able to gain the cooperation of those individuals.”

Cue the scary music! But a few paragraphs later:

In his congressional testimony, Mr. Brennan discussed the broad outlines of the intelligence, and his disclosures backed up the accounts of the information provided by the current and former officials.

“I was convinced in the summer that the Russians were trying to interfere in the election. And they were very aggressive,” Mr. Brennan said. Still, he said, even at the end of the Obama administration he had “unresolved questions in my mind as to whether or not the Russians had been successful in getting U.S. persons, involved in the campaign or not, to work on their behalf again either in a witting or unwitting fashion.”

Pretty strong stuff. The Russians may or may not have succeeded and their American counterparts may have been accomplices, or dupes.

Michael Flynn, on the other hand, really needs to be fired. Oh, wait...

Mr. Flynn’s ties to Russian officials stretch back to his time at the Defense Intelligence Agency, which he led from 2012 to 2014. There, he began pressing for the United States to cultivate Russia as an ally in the fight against Islamist militants, and even spent a day in Moscow at the headquarters of the G.R.U., the Russian military intelligence service, in 2013.

He continued to insist that Russia could be an ally even after Moscow’s seizure of Crimea the following year, and Obama administration officials have said that contributed to their decision to push him out of the D.I.A.

But in private life, Mr. Flynn cultivated even closer ties to Russia. In 2015, he earned more than $65,000 from companies linked to Russia, including a cargo airline implicated in a bribery scheme involving Russian officials at the United Nations, and an American branch of a cybersecurity firm believed to have ties to Russia’s intelligence services.

The biggest payment, though, came from RT, the Kremlin-financed news network. It paid Mr. Flynn $45,000 to give a speech in Moscow, where he also attended the network’s lavish anniversary dinner. There, he was photographed sitting next to Mr. Putin.

A senior lawmaker said on Monday that Mr. Flynn misled Pentagon investigators about how he was paid for the Moscow trip. He also failed to disclose the source of that income on a security form he was required to complete before joining the White House, according to congressional investigators.

Time will tell which sides are represented by Jack and Tom. But please tell me the "Impeach Trump" crowd has not pinned their hopes to a phone bill.

There wasn't a single Democratic leader or pundit who remotely suggested that Trump colluded with the Russians.

At least these investigations have lifted the cloud of suspicion that had descended upon the Presidency.

Down at the end we read THIS:

"The White House has not confirmed Kasowitz’s hiring.

The Post reports other attorneys under consideration included former Solicitor General Theodore Olson and Robert J. Giuffra of Sullivan & Cromwell LLP."

======================

So what The Daily Caller is reporting on is what the Washington Post is reporting on, and the White House not only hasn't confirmed it, but the Washington Post thinks there might be other attorneys chosen, instead.

How is this a story? Furthermore, what is the point of sticking "disgraced" in front of Bill O'Reilly's name? Was anything proven?

So Jenna asks Wallace this question about identifying and firing the leakers:

Jenna: ... Are these Intelligence Officials that are purposely trying to embarrass the President perhaps, while he's overseas, with these leaks?

Chris Wallace: I, I, I doubt that. I just think that what you're seeing is a complete breakdown in culture...It just seems that there are folks, whether it's in Law Enforcement or in the Intelligence communities here in the United States that aren't able to keep secrets, and that's part of their job.

So the leakers aren't trying to embarrass Trump at all. They simply happen to be lousy secret keepers.

Tammy just made the point that the usual GOPe cowards, including that skirt chasing asshole Mark Sanford, are blasting Gianforte while the underlying "facts" are still changing.

[Gentlejim]

The fact that the officer issued a criminal summons to Gianforte instead of making a custodial arrest tells me that this is a big nothingburger. Assault/battery falls under the warrantless arrest exception. In these cases if probable cause exists for arrest a custodial arrest is made. When a case is referred for a warrant or a summons is issued it is usually a situation where PC does exist, but it might be light, a case of mutual battery or even self defense.

I can tell you that if a person grabs my wrist, as I've seen mentioned happened to Gianforte, they will get a physical response they won't like. In Indiana grabbing someone's wrist without their permission is battery or simple assault as titled in Montana. A person has the right to reasonable self defense.

Still way behind but On Trish's FOX Business opener I just learned that Teresa May and the Brits are pissed because what was leaked from our Intel guys were pictures, plus the name of the bomber, and a few other names perhaps.

I think this plays into Trump’s hands. With Teresa May making this a front and center issue Trump now has carte blanche to go after the Leakers immediately and harshly, and the Dem’s can’t sidetrack it as easily as they can sidetrack everything else. This means that the Deep Staters doing the Dem's dirty work can now be publicly hunted down and the justification is because Teresa May called for it, not that Trump is doing it for devious ulterior motives of doing it to stop Deep State whistle blowing patriots from revealing his Russian Collusion crimes.

KevlarKid,

This is another example of the National Review using snobbery as an excuse not to back someon, or more to the point, attack.

Why is it a disgrace? Should Hannity just clam up because the parents (no doubt with pressure from their democrat minder)ask him to? Why?

I also love the part about how it is hard to keep a bunch of people from talking about a conspiracy. In a certain way that's true, until a plot is revealed as being true.

If there is nothing to Seth Rich's murder, then why is everyone so desperate to get us to quit talking about it? Why is the only reward offered been from Julian Assange? Why not the DNC?

Also despicable is his inference that there is something to the Russia leaks.

And I also see the comments have become a magnet for NeverTrumpers and leftists.

The text of President Trump's Executive Order speaks with vague words of National Security, but in context drips with religious intolerance, animus, and discrimination...On balance we cannot say that the Government's asserted National Security interests outweighs the competing harm to plaintiffs of the likely Establishment Clause violation.

ANother court sides with endangering American citizens in order to protect non-citizens.

Doesn't the President have the right to declare the Muslim Brotherhood and CAIR terrorist supporters?

Out with all of them, I say.

I still say the best thing would be for Saudi Arabia to use the piles of money they throw around DC to help Trump. The first thing is to remove any funding they grant to Sierra Club, any foundations, any democrats. Put some money into a Saudi-US friendship organization. Run some ads on TV thanking the President (their videos for that conference were impressive). Buy a damn network. No political donations, of course, but there is still a lot they could do.
