Still waiting for our resident /r/the_donald ambassador to come here and let us know what the talking points are for the actual report.
I mean…don’t jump to any hard conclusions about what’s in the report without seeing it first. That’s what got us “Total exoneration” nonsense in the first place.
But it is absolutely fair to speculate based on what we know, and that’s possibly going to be that it shows that Russians were able to execute their operation to infiltrate US Elections with parts of the Trump Campaign – even without the explicit presence of an active, knowing conspiracy perhaps. As in, they were duped. And then when they realized his campaign had been played, the President tried to at least make it very difficult and actively frustrated investigators’ attempts to find out what happened.

Ya, I just want to see the report.
We already know Trump colluded with Russia.
The report will simply give us some more information about exactly what happened.
IMHO, I don’t see this as leaking, just secondhand comments on what Barr made public.

Lol… So now we are down to the BEST scenario for Trump:
Only SOME of the lawyers and FBI agents investigating him thought that he committed obstruction of Justice.

Seems like his imminent expulsion from the embassy has been reported at least one other time, though.

It’s crazy he couldn’t find some hole to slip away to after all these years. He also sounded like an asshole, apparently not learning Spanish and literally stinking up the place cat-assing his computer room.
It feel like the internet in a nutshell. Digital “heroes” only have virtual friends.

Yeah I remember seeing this last year I believe. Not holding my breath.
The word down here is they’re through with him, so maybe there’s something to it. Hard to say.

The notion that Nunes is some kind of hero can be put to rest by reading the extensive file that the Moscow Project of the Center for American Progress has compiled on his dodgy doings. Nunes is an unscrupulous sycophant and unhinged partisan who is willing to say or do anything to protect the president.
As late as December 2016, Nunes claimed there was “no clear evidence” that the Russians had interfered in our election. Even the short summary of the Mueller report released by Attorney General William P. Barr confirms what was clear back then: that the Russians were behind the hacking of the Democratic National Committee. Nunes also denied that there had been any contacts between the Trump campaign and the Russians. “It’s all a dead trail that leads me to believe no contact, not even pizza-delivery-guy contact,” Nunes told The Post in February 2017. So far, 102 contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian representatives have been publicly revealed. But it’s true none of them involved Domino’s.
Rather than investigate Trump-Russia ties, Nunes used his perch at the House Intelligence Committee to promote crazy conspiracy theories designed to distract attention from the allegations against Trump. After Trump claimed that President Barack Obama had wiretapped him, Nunes announced in March 2017 that a “whistleblower” had told him that the Obama administration had unlawfully “unmasked” the names of Trump aides in surveillance transcripts. It turns out that his “whistleblower” was a trio of Trump aides and that there was no evidence of any illegal unmasking. Nunes was accused of improperly disclosing classified information and had to temporarily recusehimself from the Russia investigation.
Undeterred, Nunes resurrected bogus claims that Hillary Clinton had sold American uranium to Russia. He then claimed that the FBI had launched its investigation of Trump based on the Steele dossier paid for by Clinton’s campaign. In early 2018, he campaigned to publicly disclose a memorandum making the case, even though the FBI objected that it contained classified information. Nunes got the memo out, but it didn’t prove what he claimed. Turns out the FBI launched its investigation after a Trump foreign policy aide revealed that he knew about the Russian hacking before it became public.
It’s funny when Trump sycophants act like Devin Nunes, famed moron and general incompetent, is some kind of great American hero.
