Rep Adam Schiff just put this statement up on Twitter about the information he saw at the White House and also about the gathering of incidental info and unmasking process. It's rather interesting.

Interesting - she's pegged a lot of things correctly, and I suspect she's likely correct in this as well.

Now, Jared Kushner is likely on tape talking to Russian spies from Sberbank because SVB Bank is a subject of #FISA heatst.com/world/exclusive-fbi-granted-fisa-warrant-covering-trump-camps-ties-to-russia/ …

Interesting, woman.

Here's a direct link to the actual list they mention, which I think I might be using quite a lot...

Drug/big pharma pushers and evangelicals seem to be listed, and referring to a 'beach head' strategy suggests he's gone to war against US people, just like Mrs May has here.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 04/04/2017 20:27

I'm now completely flummoxed. Why would infowars/Alex jones be denigrating Jared? Unless it's a positive? But that doesn't make any sense.

Just baffled. I would click on the link to see what it says but don't really want to send traffic to infowars- have included it here as it's the source.

BiglyBadgers · 04/04/2017 20:45

Alex Jones is as mad as a box of frogs on LSD. I took a quick look and the comments are a horrific mix of racism and anti-semitism. I get the impression that the infowars far right lot aren't big fans of a Jewish guy suddenly being in charge of the White House, so that may explain it. I have to say I feel like i need a shower after just glancing at it. Confused

MrsT2007 · 04/04/2017 22:18

Trump now condemning the attacks and saying they're intolerable....but did criticise Obama and say not to get involved previously.

The man is such a hypocrite and clearly just changes his tune to suit whatever he needs at the time

Seeing as it quiet just now, can I ask our American cousins about lacrosse. I'm watching Teen Wolf (no judging please) & it seems like high school lacrosse team is a big thing. It's a pretty niche sport here, usually played in fee-paying, private schools. Is it more prevalent in the US? Is there a social class/wealth aspect.

As you were. Wink

cozietoesie · 04/04/2017 22:28

Kushner and Bannon. Two minor bulls having at each other.

There's only room for one eminence grise. Wink

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 04/04/2017 22:32

I am now picturing Bannon & Kushner as one of those 'Celebrity Deathmatch' animations, duking it out for pre-eminence. Grin

MrsT2007 · 04/04/2017 22:32

Lacrosse is huge, particularly as a college sport in the USA.

Agreed it's much more niche here. I went to a posh school and I'm afraid lacrosse wasn't my bag!!

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 04/04/2017 22:33

Thanks MrsT.

cozietoesie · 04/04/2017 22:35

That's probably what it's like, illegitimate. Except with words. Wink

Ooh.

cozietoesie · 04/04/2017 23:00

Oh.

cozietoesie · 04/04/2017 23:38

After all, Bannon failed. And very publicly.

She's persisting. Smile
