He also didn't have a warrant that would give him legal cover to disclose the existence of those emails as without said warrant they should not have been looking for, accessing, or otherwise reviewing said emails. Also Chaffetz had already tweeted about the letter before any Democratic congressperson even knew of their existence.

This is my understanding, anyway.

The whole thing reeks of rotten politics and I expect Comey is probably updating his résumé.

Yeah looking at it again I was giving Comey way too much credit.

Solid Snake · 10-31-2016, 05:18 PM

It's particularly disturbing in light of the fact that Comey attempted to offer the Russian hackers and Donald Drumpf the exact same 'We can't screw up the election' protection he's denying to Clinton.

Comey's a rat, the FBI are rats, we genuinely live in a goddamn universe where the FBI and Russia are -- somehow, against all odds -- allied with a wannabe bigot dictator asshole against all that is sane in this fucking universe

I'm hearing Trump has a secret server that acts as a direct line of communication with a Russian bank. It's kind of amazing if true. The world is gonna go fuckin sideways if he wins.

Apparently not only is it true but it was found out by a reporter, shut down, and then a new one was raised to do the same thing? Working secretly with Russia while running for President is dangerously close to actual treason and if nothing else is at least sedition.

Of course in this political climate any attempt to address it or do anything about it is tantamount to burning a flag that is wrapped around baby Jesus, based on the hysterical reactions from the right.

Here's a thing about a veteran spy claiming that Russia has been trying to co-opt and aid Trump for years

synkr0nized · 11-02-2016, 01:27 AM

The thing about the potential Trump-Alfa Bank connection is not [as of yet] verifiable, and probably not true. Cybersecurity data collection can be ambiguous, and currently it seems just as likely, if not more probable, that the server's owners, an advertising firm, were sending marketing around to people that included folks with email addresses on a Russian mail server.

While not a source itself, this Snopes page links to a few and, in my opinion, rightly labels this as an unproven claim. Dr. Camp is... well, if you meet her, it's easy to figure out her bias. While I am no Trump supporter, I think it is unsurprising that some of the people looking into this data are seeing indicators that fit a story they want.

A Trump-Russia connection may exist -- I cannot speak to that as a topic overall. But in this instance I doubt it's not as it appears -- marketing content from Cendyn for a hotel client.

Regardless, we don't need to find any connections between him and external parties; he's not right for our country's positive growth. There, probably one of my first concrete statements of my political leanings in forever.

Oh my God, did you actually wordfilter Sn ake into snek?

Kim · 11-02-2016, 04:50 AM

Yeah I saw an article yesterday that brought up that it was probably just spam mailing with trump hotel ads.

Solid Snake · 11-02-2016, 11:52 PM

Welp.
Cubs just won the World Series, which means we're in a failed parallel universe destined for Armageddon, meaning y'all better stock up on food and water, Drumpf's winning next week and he's taking us all on a journey to nuclear winter

Counterpoint: It's a sign third impact is coming.
