Did you also see bigly that Lawrence O'Donnell wasn't going to have his contract renewed (last day was meant to be tomorrow) but someone realised that this was on the cards and public pressure meant he's now staying Smile

Oh, goody.

I thought he was a goner.

It's 15 years on personal info and only (!) 5 years on social media details.

MsHooliesCardigan · 01/06/2017 16:24

I'm imagining it pronounced covféfé. I just can't keep up any more, my head is spinning. I see that twat Farage had to get in a dig about The Liberal Elite making things up about him because they're angry about Brexit and Trump. This is a 'man' who went to Dulwich College FFS. The fees are about £20k a year. And then he was a banker, no doubt helped along by contacts he made when he was at posh school.
But he's not part of an elite, oh no Hmm

hackmum · 01/06/2017 16:25

So Farage thinks the FBI represents the "liberal elite"...?

What a twat.

hackmum · 01/06/2017 16:25

Ha, posted the same time as MsHooliesCardigan.

Wow, the Huffpo link to the GOP climate change denier is a wee bit Shock!
IF THERE'S A REAL PROBLEM GOD WILL FIX IT.

God doesn't seem to be too bothered about fixing any of the other problems facing us, so I wouldn't be counting on he/she/it doing anything about climate change.
It's so LAZY - we don't need to worry about all this stuff because God will take care of it Angry

www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2017/06/01/putin_possible_that_private_russian_hackers_targeted_u_s_election.html

In this article...
"Putin specifically said that Russia has "never engaged" in foreign election–related hacking "on a state level,"

What like... Russia was never engaged in illegal doping of their athletes at the Olympics... ho hum...

Lweji · 01/06/2017 16:53

Or in illegal murdering of former agents.

Anyone else struggle to remember their MN nicknames since joining, let alone any other sites or social media?

AcrossthePond55 · 01/06/2017 17:40

Looking forward to next Thursday then! I'm hoping he opens up bigly. Even if he was fired, there are still restrictions on what a former federal employee can say. You can bet the GOP on the Intel Comm is going to be phrasing their questions in a way that makes him have to say "I cannot answer that question" or words to that effect. Hopefully the Dems will do the opposite!

I'm not at all surprised by the Bannon thing. Trump could give a rat's ass about civil rights and equality. I do wonder, though, if Bannon threatened to desert Trump's 'ship of state' and this is a sop to keep him there. I'm sure Bannon has enough 'inside intel' to torpedo that ship but good! It's pretty well known that Bannon's Breitbart 'fans' are not very pleased with Scrotus since there are still 'others' in the US, no wall has been built, and they haven't yet been given that six figure 'good job' with (gasp) healthcare that they were promised.

Lweji · 01/06/2017 17:50

From what I understand he might not be able to answer some questions in a public hearing, but they can hold restricted meetings if necessary.

AcrossthePond55 · 01/06/2017 17:57

I'm hope they will, Lweji! I can't imagine they'll let this drop with a load of 'I can't answers'.

It would be nice to get a lot of info 'out there', not just for those of us who know the 'truth' as it were, but so the 'Trumpettes and Trumpalos' will be faced with the facts.

But then again, I guess they'll just say he's lying, it's 'fake media', or accept whatever bullshite explanation the regime comes up with. Sigh. You can't argue with stupid.

Putin has apparently hinted that 'patriotic hackers' may have been to blame for meddling.

Patriotic Hackers
