Granted he served more of a spokesperson role, but Ty Cobb was the only Trump lawyer with a clearance.

Forgot about the special elections

Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee
@TheDLCC
BREAKING: @javierfor114 has won the special election in HD114 for the Florida House. Congratulations, Javier!

This victory is notable.

While Democrats already held #HD114, it was a competitive district and Republicans dramatically outspent and outorganized Democrats there, hoping a rare blue-to-red flip would energize GOP activists. They failed.

NEWS-Giuliani, mins after Cobb exit, goes on-rec w/ @WashingtonPost re: Mueller intvw. “Some people have talked about a possible 12-hour interview. If it happens, that’s not going to happen, I’ll tell you that. It’d be, max, two to three hours around a narrow set of questions."

cozietoesie · 02/05/2018 19:16

12hours?? 45 won't be ab.e to last 2 or 3, despite what Giuliani - who will likely not last long - may have said.

I have been reading Comey's book. It is rather interesting.

So Cambridge Analytica is closing down.

Well, according to the Nobel website, nominations close in February so at least he's 'out' for 2018. As to whether or not he's around for the 2019 prize remains to be seen.

www.nobelprize.org/nomination/peace/index.html

"February – Deadline for submission. In order to be considered for the award of the year, nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize shall be sent in to the Norwegian Nobel Committee in Oslo before the 1st day of February the same year. Nominations postmarked and received after this date are included in the following year's discussions. In recent years, the Committee has received close to 200 different nominations for different nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. The number of nominating letters is much higher, as many are for the same candidates."

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 02/05/2018 19:59

Don’t forget that they already set up emerdata in March with all the same people

Just caught up on today's posts. Some real light and shade there. The white supremacist stuff is appalling, well everything about this administration stinks but there's some particularly heinous stuff upthread. The recent Democrat house win and the Ty Cobb/impeachment specialist replacement seems vaguely cheering.

DH was pondering earlier on what compromat Donald Trump has on his doctor to get him to stake his career and professional reputation on such a gob smacking fib of a letter.

boatyardblues · 02/05/2018 20:09

It's the Hydra, isn't it?

Thank you Lion. I was just saying to DH that CA sounded like that monster with loads of heads that you can't kill, but I was temporarily hampered on remembering its name.

CrustyCob · 02/05/2018 20:10

It's the Hydra, isn't it?
A brilliant summary.

Cambridge Analytica folds...why now?? Today @vickerysec revealed two crucial ‘indisputable’ facts. It’s absolutely linked to AIQ & Brexit. And Trump campaign had access to psych profiles derived from Facebook data...

President Trump said earlier this year that James Clapper and John Brennan were among the biggest liars and leakers in Washington. The White House is now citing both of them as to why Gina Haspel should become CIA director.
