BLUMENTHAL THEORIZES: CONSPIRACY CHARGES POSSIBLE FOR TRUMP WHITE HOUSE

Back in 1997, Harold J. Nicholson, a former employee for the CIA, was sentenced to 23 years in jail for conspiring with the Russian government. Tonight on Hardball, Sen. Blumenthal went off the deep end of his own conspiratorial bend — proclaiming that both Flynn, Kushner and others in the Trump White House could succumb to conspiracy charges.

When discussing the matter of Flynn, the host, Chris Mathews, asked the Senator if he should be given immunity, so that he could spill the beans on the President — inferring that Trump had something to hide that Flynn knew about. Both Blumenthal and Mathews then started to theorize, incredulously as if disconnected from the real world, a grande Russian scheme had taken place — all at the behest of Trump, that could land Flynn 15 years in prison.

Mathews then staggered on, praising the press for providing the public with leaks, revealing what he deemed to be ‘Russian shenanigans’, saying ‘the press should be commended’.

‘All these Russian things going, all the time, and the only reason why we know about them is the press.’

Hmm, I wonder why democrats keep losing elections.

    So he is commending himself… like the Hollywood morons.

    These kinds of people spend too much time in their own little worlds and have a hard time fathoming anything else, or don’t want to. Either way, they live in bubbles.

      The lower it goes, the higher it will eventually soar. Long overdue for marginal, money-losing E&P production destruction.

    Going by MSM’s hubris in deciding things, it almost seems like the impeachment proceedings have been cancelled due to political expediency. Via calculating unhinged from procedure or decorum, there’s a fall guy named Flynn and, voila, they own the presidency, again. The gracious support from the press makes all this possible.

      Indeed. You should get up close and personal with him at an open bar event. If nature abhors a vacuum it’s a fucking miracle Chrissy’s head hasn’t caved in.

      BEHOLD one half of my Idiot Senators from CT. The self-proclaimed War Hero who never spent one day anywhere near a FOB. But the Dims have the leeching citizens of our bankrupt large cities, a reliable gang of easily paid-off voters. The state’s money is almost gone, however. Perhaps no fuel for the buses to get to the polls in the next election cycle.

        These cockroaches get into elected positions because voters are too busy making ends meet and just want to be left alone instead of vetting candidates. We usually find out after the fact what type of dipshits get to run the hen house in their pinko marxist ways.

    Blumenthal is another lying joo politician. He has no integrity. Lied about his USMC experience, which is almost as bad as being a pedophile.

    It’s virtually nothing. The whole point is to keep the ‘russia did it’ narrative front and center. The pinko marxists are now violating rule #7:

    You’re right ..unless there is slam dunk smoking gun evidence of Trump collusion with Russia that they’re holding back in order to control him in some particular policy area.

    If this guy has nothing better to do than cheer lead the Muh Russia nonsense, maybe he could do something about the parade of Fortune 500 companies and residents fleeing his home state of Connecticut?
