This confuses me.

...IG tried to dump a honey pot of fringe infowarsesque nutso conspiracy information to try and pass it off as legitimate documents....to trap democrats into investigating actual nonsense? Is that what we are to believe is happening?
I read it to mean that the IG contacted congress on an urgent matter: the White House is directly involved in a myriad of coverup and forgery activities.

Finally have a link I can use here. Took longer than I thought to be confirmed. Now on multiple reputable sources in the last hour.



Read here:


The IG just handed them a stack of documents related to Ukraine more or less without comment. Perhaps the docs have to do with retaliation.

Trump knows he is screwed, that's why he was trying to remind the evangelicals that Pence is involved in this latest impeachment worthy affront to the nation. He is useful to them, he isn't one of them. He knows they'll dump America's Wealthiest Coprolite if they have to, especially so as he's fulfilled his main tasks - corruption of the courts and various regulatory boondoggles that affect our economy and environment to the benefit of the wealthy and christian.



This is all going to make for some trial, I can't wait. Il Douche will crank the panicked dementia to 11. Republicans get to wear this illegitimate disaster for the rest of their lives.

Remember that call Trump placed to Pelosi just prior to her announcing Impeachment proceedings?

Trump : How can I make this go away?
Pelosi : Stop criming.

He didnt listen...

Just on TRMS, there's a story circulating that a senior State dept official is saying that the material is what Pompeo used to trash/get rid of the previous envoy. Supposedly, one of the people Pompeo wants to block from testifying.

Interesting, but that's going to be hard to prove when the docs were given with no explanation and no context.

Maddow implied that these were documents the White House and/or Ukraine were using to justify dumping the previous Ambassador and opening a corruption investigation against Biden. You see, Biden and Yovanovitch were akchually Soros plants so that Democrats/Jews/Elites could own Eastern Europe!!!

One perspective I can think of with the document dump is that it's the work product of the State department and Guiliani, as if to signal: hey you idiots, Trump has turned his State department into a troll farm for manufacturing dirt on Democrats for the upcoming election and thinks that is what a President is supposed to be doing.

Waiting for a press reporter to directly ask Trump why he's promoting already debunked conspiracy theories to smear his opponents.

Some more clarification on the State Dept IG document dump—apparently this was material being collected in order to smear Yovanovitch *after* she had been fired. Seth’s theory is that after the whistleblower report, some in the WH and State Dept thought it prudent to retroactively justify her dismissal. He claims this supports the theory she was removed in order to give Giuliani more leeway to have direct contact without anyone questioning just wtf he was doing.

Also hilarious—apparently some of the documents/notes were contained within Trump Hotel envelopes.


Edit: Giuliani claims he sent the documents to Pompeo for investigation 2 weeks before Yovanovitch was recalled. He seems to be doing his damnedest to screw the President. Maybe he is the hero after all!!

Now Trump has said that China should investigate the Bidens. If he says it enough to enough countries, I suppose he thinks that will make saying it okay.

They should investigate Moscow Mitch’s father in law and wife while they’re at it.

I thought Trump and Breitbart were no longer dating? Didn't they break up last year?

I thought that was a Sloppy Steve breakup but had some fallout with the breibert folks.
Teen girl relationships are really complicated for men to figure out.

Trump's attack on Biden is Birtherism 2.0.

I don't think it's really comparable because Birtherism is about defining people as non-American because they "don't look and sound right," presupposing that any of these people have any understanding of or any right to decide what is "American."

Conspiracy theory innuendo is conspiracy theory innuendo. I should have said 3.0, given that "Crooked she-who-must- not-be-named" was slime attack 2.0.

Nope they're still going strong. For fun pull up any of their articles and read the comments section. It's the who's who of wacko conspiracy nuts in there.
