Ryan & McConnell on tape discussing

[Sculpin Beauregard]

Laundering Russian money thru Super PACs.

Crazy if true. Believable at this point.

14. I might be confused, but I thought the first 2 tweets you listed were about Kislyik & Jeff Sessions

not Ryan and McConnell.

4. I recommend avoiding this kind of wishful thinking. eom

[womanofthehills]

11. I think we need this kind of thinking to make sure nothing gets covered up

[Blanks]

13. If it's true, we need to hear about it...

If it's just made up, and people believe that it's true, then I think passing it around is a bad idea.

It makes us look as foolish as Fox News viewers: believing made up crap.

5. Chatter

aka "some people are saying".

[nycbos]

6. Just because we want something to be true...

... doesn't make it true.

7. did twitter search for Agent Orangsky

didn't find anything

[Sculpin Beauregard]

8. Link is above, name is ImpeachAgentOrangsky - my bad

[ATL Ebony]

9. try "@puppymnkey" instead OR "ImpeachAgentOrangsky" (no spaces)

[Tommy_Carcetti]

10. Yeah, I'm going to wait on confirmation beyond "Agent Orangsky" on Twitter.

There's a difference between wanting something to be true and having good reason to believe it's true.

This is clearly at the first stage and not the second.

15. Don't you wish ... but this sounds like Fox News level reporting except from the left.

An exciting scandal rumor surfaces and everyone gets all heated up but then nothing happens and it finally fades away into the noise of the background.
This is what happens to nearly every 'too good to be true' story and it happens over and over and over so I refuse to accept this at face value. I've been burned too many time before.

There won't be any clear cut smoking gun that is discovered.
The best we will get are convoluted legal arguments that make a case against Trump and the Republicans.

Sure they'll find some Trump underlings guilty and send them to jail but that won't be enough to tarnish Trump or the Republicans.

If anything is to be done about them it's not going to be easy and probably won't happen until the next election.
