1/ Second Tweetstorm of the Day. Sorry.

2/ The Ellis connection was obvious from the moment I heard it. Nunes is a clumsy liar, and DC only rewards talented liars.

3/ Spicer lied in his briefing about Nunes getting the intel from WH sources...and I think it can be proven that Nunes lied to Ryan.

4/ So two WH operatives possibly improperly accessed classified to pass it to Nunes as part of a political pushback operation.

5/ Who ordered it? Who asked for them to do so? If you think two lower-level guys took it upon themselves to make this play...

6 ...I've got a Nigerian prince with $30 million dollars for you.

7/ Who is running the WH pushback operation on Trump's Russia scandal?

It rhymes with Beeve Stannon.

8/ This is where it gets good, so ride along with me. Flynn's staybehind agent Cohen-Watnick was about to be shitcanned by McMaster.

9/ Cohen-Watnick the NSC intel director was a Flynnite from DIA days. Flynn was gone but the channel was still open.

10/ McMaster, Pompeo et al wanted him gone. "But Rick," you ask, "Why was he STILL there with all we know about Flynn?" pic.twitter.com/BPuRd5Y2Do

11/ Why would Bannon and Kushner race to this guy's defense? Because he's helping run the pushback operation on Russia with Nunes.

It was 15 months from the date they started the Senate Watergate hearings until the date that Nixon resigned. Please, let history repeat itself! Only faster!!!

One thing the Watergate Scandal didn't have was the internet and a truly global media. We had to rely on reporters to dig up the shit and publish it before we heard about it. In today's world there are bloggers, hackers, and just plain 'people' who are finding and putting info out there. Some good info, some bullshit. But all at our fingertips. I'm hoping it speeds things up.

Can I just point out that Louise Mensch called the Ellis link a few days back. She might be a bit crazy but she's spot on so far.

Which is possibly why the Putin media wrote the articles they did and RPS ranted too. Too close to the truth?

ooooh Angry Spice is floundering. He's stammering and waffling...

The NYT article for Bigly.

WASHINGTON — A pair of White House officials played a role in providing Representative Devin Nunes of California, a Republican and the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, with the intelligence reports that showed that President Trump and his associates were incidentally swept up in foreign surveillance by American spy agencies.
The revelation that White House officials assisted in the disclosure of the intelligence reports — which Mr. Nunes then discussed with President Trump — is likely to fuel criticism that the intelligence chairman has been too eager to do the bidding of the Trump administration while his committee is supposed to be conducting an independent investigation of Russia’s meddling in the last presidential election.

Mr. Nunes has also been faulted by his congressional colleagues for sharing the information with President Trump before consulting with other members of the intelligence committee.

The congressman has refused to identify his sources, saying he needed to protect them so others would feel safe coming to the committee with sensitive information. He disclosed the existence of the intelligence reports on March 22, and in his public comments he has described his sources as whistle-blowers trying to expose wrongdoing at great risk to themselves.

Spicer gets asked about Tillerson/Russia, he says that question is for State—which has cancelled press briefings: thehill.com/homenews/administration/326072-state-department-halts-press-briefings …

Angry Spice seems rattled. And reporters are demanding answers - repeating their questions.

And they are STILL pursuing the idea that he was subject to a wiretap! Unbelievable.

Even the Pope is calling on Donald to acknowledge the reality of climate change. When the Vatican is telling you to get with the times...

So called pope?

Love it ! Reporter asking if Trump will do a press conference to make the claims he is making. Angry Spice says "Am I not good enough?" with a bit of a weak laugh. You know he's thinking "oh shit, not that!!"

You know Trump watching will want his audience...... and will want to talk.

He very neatly avoided answering the accusation that this violated ethics.

Not at all, Mavis. The Pope had an election. A 'very sacred election' even.

Sorry. mavis.

Spicer just directed a reporter to the State Dep't — which is not currently holding on-the-record briefings.
