    Report that a Russian spy got NSA to tweet out prearranged tweets 10 times makes me think of how Trump tweeted out ballpark number of Hillary staffers after June 9 meeting. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/01/25/why-did-trump-tweet-an-in-the-ball-park-accurate-number-for-hillarys-total-staffers-on-june-9-2016/ …

        If Trump tweeted a prearranged message to the Russians, It would be impossible to figure out because his tweets are so crazy anyway.

        That’s why he sometimes has more literate people draft his tweets for him.

        In that sense, Trump is a bit like the Shadowbrokers and Guccifer 2.0.

        Isn't this also problem with nunes memo? They know fbi is watching so can't tell them, but if they can get classified dates out publicly - then ppl know exactly where to scrub paper/electronic trail

        You are so on the wrong side of history. The trump tower meeting was a set up. It failed. You are failing too. My how far you’ve fallen. #TrumpDerangementSyndrome

        Possible, but then Trump took the bait and fired Comey, had he just let him investigate, the Dems may be out of juice by now.

        He had to fire him. And secured the evidence. Some day the “tapes” will come out. His tweets come true. He knows he is was surveiled. He knows papa, Page and likely manafort were plants. He knows Russia meeting was a set up. He knew they wiretapped him. Drip drip drip....

        If a republican Op-ed in a paper makes it conservative, then the NYT is super right wing. The job of Op-eds is to present opinions (not news) from both sides. This is an opinion piece. Opinions are not news. Maybe that is your problem with understanding news.

        I didn't say SHE was anything. I was referring to your op-ed you tried to pass off as proof that a newspaper agreed with you. Also, name calling is the providence of children.
