Looks like they might not be done with Flynn.

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/co...r-nuclear-tech-saudis-may-have-broken-n973021

WASHINGTON — Whistleblowers from within President Donald Trump's National Security Council have told a congressional committee that efforts by former national security adviser Michael Flynn to transfer sensitive nuclear technology to Saudi Arabia may have violated the law, and investigators fear Trump is still considering it, according to a new report obtained by NBC News.

The House Oversight Committee has formally opened an investigation into the matter, releasing an interim staff report that adds new details to previous public accounts of how Flynn sought to push through the nuclear proposal on behalf of a group he had once advised. Tom Barrack, a prominent Trump backer with business ties to the Middle East, also became involved in the project, the report says.

For crissakes.

Lots of eye popping stuff in this McCabe interview.

That reminds me of a passage that jumped out at me in your book: “He thought North Korea did not have the capability to launch such missiles. He said he knew this because Vladimir Putin had told him so … the president said he believed Putin despite the PDB [Presidential Daily Briefing] briefer telling him that this was not consistent with any of the intelligence that the US possessed.” How do you explain that?

McCabe: It’s inexplicable. You have to put yourself in context. So I am in the director’s chair as acting director. My senior executive who had accompanied the briefer to that briefing, who sat in the room with the president and others, and heard the comments, comes back to the Hoover Building to tell me how the briefing went. And he sat at the conference table, and he just looked down at the table with his hands out in front of him. I was like, “How did it go?” And he just—he couldn’t find words to characterize it. We just sat back and said, “What do we do with this now?” How do you effectively convey intelligence to the American president who chooses to believe the Russians over his own intelligence services? And then tells them that to their faces?

One count of obstruction is historically enough to impeach a POTUS, but it looks like Trump is going for the baker's dozen at this point. You've got to wonder if he's doing all of this on purpose just to see how far he can bend the GOP over his toilet.

Holy shit, so Flynn is maybe The USA's own AQ Khan?

I guess the difference is that Khan is a smart dude that actually knew the tech, while Flynn is merely a fucking moron that just sold top secret nuclear tech to one of the most evil countries in the world.

The story has gone critical on MSNBC Sirius while I was out on my mail run. Seems like a lot of Flynn stuff is finally coming out now that there is actual oversight being done by the Democrats. As numb nuts wonders why the investigation is taking so long. It's because he (Trump) has colluded with congressional leadership to stall everything or look the other way. We are finally getting some action now.

There is a lot to unpack here. I will just go on the record as saying that no other outlets have confirmed anything in this NYTimes piece. There are lots of previously unreported and unsubstantiated details.

All I will say is that if any of this is true, it puts McCabe's firing and the GOP vendetta against the FBI in a whole different context.

McCabe is a registered Republican, and thus potentially a liar. He could have whole vineyards of sour grapes ready to harvest. But for a lot of what he's talking about--he wasn't the only one in the room. I'm sure more corroboration is pending.

Between the Times piece and Natasha Bertrand's reporting on Nunes' role in all this...wow.

Mueller report only days away if these sources are to be believed.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/worl...72691c-354b-11e9-af5b-b51b7ff322e9_story.html

I have a feeling we’ll see the report before Rosenstein departs in March.

Prediction: Inconclusive on Trump family’s direct involvement in Russian interference, but damning conclusions on obstruction.

Something stinks that if true it's ending, it's happening within the week Barr took over as AG. Is he ending it for Trump? I have zero faith that we'll get to see most of the report. Trump needs re-election to evade indictment by the SDNY.

I'll believe it when I see it. Rudy started this rumor yesterday. Now we've got unnamed sources in the DOJ.

Dunno how much good it will do them. Trump could pardon Manafort on Thanksgiving Day & have him on a direct flight to Moscow in a few hours. Poof! Gone.

meh, we've got missiles. "Oh gosh darn...that damn targeting system. still working out the kinks, boss! Apologies to the underage mistress."

No seriously: Military and CIA and FBI sure as shit don't want a Rooskie stooge like Manafort skipping off to the motherland.

Probably not but they lack legal authority to stop him w/o cause. If DHS removes the flags from his passport he'll be gone in that fantasy scenario. Just sayin', ya know? Trump could also justify it as part of a spy swap. No pardon required.

Michael Cohen continues his rat bastard ways-

"Mr. Cohen, who worked at the Trump Organization for a decade, spoke with the prosecutors about insurance claims the company had filed over the years, said the people, who did not elaborate on the nature of the possible irregularities."

while Russian collusion is the far greater offense, i still think that Michael Cohen will be the end of Trump.
