Don Lemon and his panels are covering the new newsbreaks with incredible depth

He's had military people on, he has April Ryan, Lizza and other reporters on....they are talking Federal crimes. and that Mueller must have LOADS of incriminating stuff.

The conclusion is that we are left with two scenarios - trump is/was actively colluding with Russia or the most famous useful idiot of Russia/Putin in history.

the two military people mentioned that trump is totally inappropriately bringing politics to military gatherings - that he has no idea that many in the military are dems. he is treating the military like it is his personal cheering group....disgusting.

Essentially they are saying that this is getting to the end game where impeachment is really the only thing that CAN be done -

that the lies being uncovered are far far worse than Nixon or Clinton (in comparing impeachments).

What frustrates me is that none of these discussions ever spread to the likely compromise of a whole heap of repubs in the house and senate.

Since I was switching from sports to CNN on Sling, I caught a bit of Cuomo's show - now that was frustrating - he is very poor at moderating debates - and in his long discussion with Lemon, it is clear Cuomo simply can't "go there" yet with trump and russia - he is too concerned with playing "both sides do it". He had Granholm on getting run over by a big bald repub who put the whole fault of the showdown on Pelosi.

frustrating watch.

Chris baffles me often. I think its a reflection of being protective of his family and their legacy. I love that he's sharp and polite ALMOST to a fault. Clearly a complicated man. Don Lemon....this couldnt be broken out by a better guy. Rise up Don.

You can tell by his demeanor he's big time pissed inside and he's been working on this thing. Big ups for Mr Lemon.

This has just been a big ass gamble and they found a guy that was corruptible in trum...and they were right. All the rest is piping on the shoulder boards. putin HATED Obama and Clinton especially for the Arab Spring. He was just HEAVING money at the situation. imo. and hit a bonanza. Theres kompromat...and that shit goes a long way w folks who are shot in the fanny w themselves. trum was a willing partner and if he spoke up at all the kompromat kept him in line. Trum got fame and hamberders and his loans paid.

And I'm not saying that just because he's hilarious with Brooke Baldwin on New Year's Eve sitting in a New Orleans bar or because of his facial expressions when reporting on Spanky. He's damned good.

and shutdown was utterly inappropriate behaviour - unprecedented - for a president.

And that not a single person in the audience applauded. stone silence (I think this was on his Iraq surprise trip_

Will not listen to CNN. He considers it news by satan. Along with the N.Y. Times and Washington Post.
Don’t I will ever penetrate his shield of ignorance.

For some bizarre reason, cops in NYC are mostly right wingers.
Hoping the younger contingent has more progressive leanings.
