A nod to Banzai there for old timers like me.

Old thread here.

Question is, is it Mueller time yet? Anyone fancy placing a bet on when Trump will exit the POTUS role?

My bet: 20 March 2019.

Ron Johnson, who raised alarms this week about the FBI agents’ “secret society” text, just told me: “It’s a real possibility” the text was written in jest.

After raising alarms on Fox Tuesday, Johnson told us Wednesday that he spoke with an informant who warned of FBI meetings occurring “off-site.” He acknowledged not knowing what those mtgs were about. Today, he said “it’s real possibility” it was a joke. www.cnn.com/2018/01/25/politics/ron-johnson-secret-society-texts/index.html

“The OIG has been investigating this matter and, this week, succeeded in using forensic tools to recover text messages from FBI devices, including text messages between Mr. Strzok and Ms. Page that were sent or received between December 14, 2016, and May 17, 2017,” IG tells Hill

Glad they found the Strzok-Page messages. I bet the ones from the day Comey was fired won’t at all be to the GOP’s liking.

There were satanists protesting trump recently (or maybe not that’s recently). They seemed really lovely! (There was a video of them explaining how trump flew in the face of everything they stood for)

"Instead of pursuing criminal charges, Mueller could refer any findings to the Republican-controlled Congress, where a number of inquiries are under way."

Judge seems open to emoluments suit against Trump

A Maryland federal judge signals he's not persuaded by a New York colleague's decision tossing out parallel case.

The W.H. asked the Guggenheim to “borrow” a Van Gogh painting for Trump’s private living quarters.

The curator denied the request, offering instead an 18-karat, fully functioning, solid gold toilet — an interactive work entitled “America,” WaPo reports. www.washingtonpost.com/local/dc-politics/the-white-house-wanted-a-van-gogh-the-guggenheim-offered-a-used-solid-gold-toilet/2018/01/25/38d574fc-0154-11e8-bb03-722769454f82_story.html?__twitter_impression=true&__twitter_impression=true&utm_term=.400ca170d89c

Senate Intel Chairman has access to the underlying classified information upon which the partisan GOP House Intel memo is allegedly based. So does the Department of Justice. That's why Nunes doesn't want them to see the memo. He's worried they are going to say his memo is wrong. twitter.com/thehill/status/956335577779130369

Here's the "Secret Society" text sent from FBI agent Lisa Page to Strzok:

"Are you even going to give out your calendars? Seems kind of depressing. Maybe it should just be the first meeting of the secret society"

The GOP just used sarcasm as evidence of a massive FBI conspiracy

I am saddened but not surprised that this year, the #DoomsdayClock has been moved to 2 minutes to midnight, the closest it has ever been set towards global midnight and the first time it has been at that time since 1953 #turnbackthedoomsdayclock
