(21,528 posts)My impression has always been that there were many in our intelligence services who knew all or most key details, but opted not to act.
Perhaps they felt this would be a unique opportunity to conduct a field experiment of sorts - i.e. how would Putin use a U.S. puppet if he could ever get it into the Oval Office. Who knows.

They know, but we certainly don't. It'll all come out pretty soon, I think. I'd say within 6 months Trump and his associates are going to find out that they're in DEEP COVFEFE! Hopefully that will include lengthy prison sentences for most of them, and impeachment for at least one of them.

There was a former UN official, Framk LaRue, who pointed out a few years ago that in this day and age the biggest threat to freedom of expression isn't government interference as much as it's media monopolies. The MSM coverage of the Iraq War, or the way they brazenly promoted Cheeto, certainly seems to illustrate that.

(50,451 posts)Folks, we've been here before. We were all positive that Patrick Fitzgerald was going to drag the entire Bush administration off to a torture chamber and we'd never see any of them again. At the end of the day, he took down Scooter Libby...who needed to go to jail, but it was a serious letdown after what we'd all hoped for.
When there's a perp walk out of the White House AND at least one of the Trumps is in it, is the time to get excited.
