[The Other Castro]

Hey, that's a little help.

Oh yeah I meant that could be a sign a NYT story is dropping soon.

Now David Corn has a story about an American spy with decades of experience in US/Russian affairs who says the Kremlin was "cultivating" Trump for years. The key paragraph:

Trump needs to be arrested for treason.

It seems I was close enough:

Perhaps they find rock-solid proof that Donald Trump's campaign is not only connected with Vladimir Putin (which we already know) and Julian Assange, but is also coordinating with them.  

The perfect Manchurian Candidate. 

[Inmate Trump]

I just don't get it.

Trump says that laziness is an inherit trait of African Americans.  He has a court date in December for an accusation of child rape.  Other accusations that he's attended parties where cocaine and 15 year old girls were passed around.  More accusations of groping and sexual assault.  The Access Hollywood tape.  His scam with Trump University.  All of his failed businesses and bankruptcies.  His blatant racism and xenophobia.  His call to supporters to assassinate his opponent; also his threat to jail her.  The ties to Russia.  The praising of dictators, both current and throughout history.  Saying he won't back other NATO countries, and saying he'll allow Russia a freehand at expanding their territory.

But the media focuses on e-mails, without knowing anything specific about said e-mails.......all of which were not even written by Hillary.

Putin used Wikileaks!  It's super effective!

WTF? If Putin is using wikileaks and Trump then he is attempting to turn America into a satellite state.  YES IT IS NEWS!!!!! Far bigger then the emails.

Jon Ralston tweeted links to both the Slate and MJ articles.

[Xing]

Looks like we need another rating change, right Atlas?

Presidential race: Likely Trump -> Titanium Hillary

But, in all seriousness, this is really messed up. Foreign governments have no business interfering with elections, no matter who they seek to help.

The cognitive dissonance is beyond bizarre. It's horrifying and depressing.

The first memo, based on the former intelligence officer's conversations with Russian sources, noted, "Russian regime has been cultivating, supporting and assisting TRUMP for at least 5 years. Aim, endorsed by PUTIN, has been to encourage splits and divisions in western alliance." It maintained that Trump "and his inner circle have accepted a regular flow of intelligence from the Kremlin, including on his Democratic and other political rivals." It claimed that Russian intelligence had "compromised" Trump during his visits to Moscow and could "blackmail him." I

Clinton camp definitely knew this was coming:

Yep, this was the bombshell they were holding. Can someone ask those people who were tweeting about it if this is it?

[ApatheticAustrian]

ofc it is news, that the trump campaign seems to be a wholly owned subsidiary of the KGB....including private banking servers and direct oppo communication about political enemies like hillary.

[Phony Moderate]

It says 5 years, which would have roughly been the time when he got involved in the birther stuff and floated the idea of a 2012 run.
