McCaskill Suggests White House Deny Intel Brief to the Sick Fuck.
And should Demented Donnie complain, former United States Senator Claire McCaskill (D-MO) added that Putin's Puppet can, "Pound sand!" She was on Nicole Wallace's Deadline White House program.
Making a stink out of denying Trump access to the Intel Briefing, a news-making change from traditional election year courtesy extended to the nominees for President, first off, would protect the national security of the United States. Here's where the New York Times said Uncle Sam found Top Secret documents at Merde de Lardo:
Keeping Trump un-briefed also makes an excellent media opportunity to showcase Trump as Putin's personal threat to national security before a national audience. Imagine President Biden explaining to the nation how Trump's many intelligence failures -- and how Congress inactions at Trump's behest -- serve Putin?
Charlie Sykes and other panelists echoed the sentiments, stating an assertive President Biden explaining why Trump serving Putin is a threat to the security of the United States of America would make a truly great national storyline -- a pro-Biden story with legs. The story also would contrast dip's record in service of Putin with President Joe Biden's sane, sound leadership and integrity.
Viewers of Nicole's program also enjoyed hearing the audio clip where Trump confesses to stealing Top Secret document, bragging about illegally possessing classified materials with Mark Meadows and his "autobiographers." Video from today's MSNBC show hasn't been posted, but the following from CNN includes the section.
Benedict Donald actually admitted on the tape he was not allowed to possess the documents and could not de-classify them as ex-president. What say you? How great would that be for President Biden to talk about all the time on the tee vee?

It would be fun to program selections into the raw sewer main of disinformation, misinformation, propaganda, lies and misunderstandings that currently flow into the “brain” and out the maw of Putin’s pal, an unstable moron with all the low abilities necessary to bankrupt a casino.
“Then he said, ‘Drill baby, drill!’”
We know the score. Most of the country has little clue how deep the traitorous rot goes. Who remembers hearing this story discussed on tee vee?

Trump’s Top Targets in the Russia Probe Are Experts in Organized Crime
Some of President Trump’s favorite targets in the Russia probe have spent their careers in the Justice Department and the FBI investigating organized crime and money laundering, particularly as they pertain to Russia.

Bruce Ohr. Lisa Page. Andrew Weissmann. Andrew McCabe. President Donald Trump has relentlessly attacked these FBI and Justice Department officials as dishonest “Democrats” engaged in a partisan “witch hunt” led by the special counsel determined to tie his campaign to Russia. But Trump’s attacks have also served to highlight another thread among these officials and others who have investigated his campaign: their extensive experience in probing money laundering and organized crime, particularly as they pertain to Russia.

Trump’s latest obsession is with Bruce Ohr, a career Justice Department official who spent years investigating Russian organized crime and corruption—an expertise he shared with another Trump target named Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence operative who provided valuable intelligence on Russia to the State Department and the FBI’s Eurasian Organized Crime Task Force prior to authoring the Trump-Russia dossier in 2016. Ohr and Steele met in 2007, according to The New York Times, and stayed in touch as a result of their shared interests and mutual respect. Trump has tweeted about Ohr nearly a dozen times this month alone, complaining about his relationship with Steele and Ohr’s wife’s past work for Fusion GPS—the opposition-research firm that hired Steele in 2016 to research Trump’s Russia ties.

Trump’s fixation with seeing Ohr ousted from the Justice Department could be perceived as yet another attempt to undermine the credibility of the people who have investigated him. It could also be interpreted as an attack on someone with deep knowledge of the shady characters Trump and his cohort have been linked to, including Semion Mogilevich, the Russian mob boss, and Oleg Deripaska, a Russian aluminum magnate close to Putin who did business with Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort. (Incidentally, another Manafort associate, the Ukrainian billionaire Dmitry Firtash, admitted that he only managed to be in business because Mogilevich allowed him to be, according to a leaked 2008 State Department cable.) Ohr was involved in banning Deripaska from the U.S. in 2006, due to his alleged ties to organized crime and fear that he would try to launder money into American real estate. Nearly a decade later, Ohr and the FBI sought Deripaska’s help in taking down overseas criminal syndicates.
Snip...
The president has denied having any business ties to Russia, and his dream of building a Trump Tower Moscow never materialized. But his links to Russian oligarchs and mobsters from the former Soviet Union have been documented: Millions of dollars from the former Soviet Union flowed into Trump’s developments and casinos throughout the 1990s, as the journalist Craig Unger has chronicled, as oligarchs looked for a place to hide their money in the West. The Trump Taj Mahal casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, was once known as a hot spot for Brooklyn mobsters associated with the Russian Mafia, and quickly became the “favorite East Coast destination” of the top Russian mob boss Vyacheslav Ivankov, according to the 2000 book Red Mafiya: How the Russian Mob Has Invaded America. It was also repeatedly cited by the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network for having inadequate money-laundering controls.
