Senator: Comey to go public on Trump-Russia probe

More on said Comey news:

Comey privately told Sen. Whitehouse and Graham he'd confirm if Russia/Trump FBI inquiry exists by tomorrow.

meh. the leak from 1995 or w/e that showed his billion dollar loss didn't really move the needle. doubt this one will either

Still, White House apparently already saying things:

14-Mar-2017 08:29:23 PM - WHITE HOUSE SAYS IN RESPONSE TO MSNBC THAT TRUMP PAID $38 MILLION IN TAXES ON INCOME OF $150 MILLION...WHITE HOUSE SAYS TRUMP HAD A RESPONSIBILITY "TO PAY NO MORE TAX THAN LEGALLY REQUIRED"

LOL no "i am SO a billionaire!" ?

I mean, presumably it's less about the amount than it is where he got it from, which is what a lot of the murmuring's been about.

that's a tax rate of 26% - certainly lower than whatever the top bracket was at the time

it's a 1040 from 2005, for his base & plenty of other people that means it's ancient history and does not matter

Couple of people pointing out this story from a year ago:

Also, does an official White House response mean that the 'audit' excuse no longer holds?

Effective rate is always going to be lower than top income tax bracket xp

WH response in full -- trying to guess who wrote it.

As for the other story re: Comey

https://twitter.com/karoun/status/841777947694497793

@ChuckGrassley says he won't put AG nom Rosenstein up for a vote until Senate Judiciary gets a briefing from Comey on Russia. Story coming.

he pays sales tax goddamnit!

right, because only the income pertaining to each bracket gets taxed at that rate xp

Yep also capital gains

So if there's a story here it's not 26%

And meanwhile in all this you've got Lou Dobbs saying Ryan's gotta resign.

More minor, perhaps...but is it?

Per Costa's tweets:

A crowd of Trump loyalists (Ruddy, Ingraham, Breitbart, Bolling, etc.) are callling it "RyanCare" and several of them have his ear...Their opposition is different than F. Caucus wing. Those are movement cons driven by ideology. Trump bloc driven by Trump, fear of "trap"...Several WH officials tell me they're not exactly sure how this plays out. They say he's playing team ball with Ryan and House, for now...

I don't know what any of this - taxes, Russia, Ryan/ACA - will add up to, but I will accept the chaos. Chaos candidate be causing chaos.

ugh and trump is too stupid to even know what was in the bill before trying to front that it wasnt a piece of shit last week. he just knows he wants to DO SOMETHING NOW.

What if something actually important happens?

Like Trump made $1 million dollars in donations to a pee site on clips4sale.com

Dubya got 8 months of lead time. Do we think this dipshit and his fucking clown college are going to get the same luxury?

What if it's a natural disaster or s disease outbreak?

I'm so fucking angry and we haven't even lost a major city yet

maybe he'll be eaten by wolves and be delicious

it's a 1040 from 2005, for his base & plenty of other people that means it's ancient history and does not matter

^^^^^^

nothing will come of...whatever this is.

xpost
ugh, i can barely handle thinking about that stuff. i think about it all the time.

xpost cool, so we've established that the story we haven't heard yet is a non-story, got it

i am siding with the pre-pre-backlash to the pre-backlash here

He will vanish from sight even more than it seems like he already has; the assortment of sycophants in his administration will make their own policy in competing factions

Pre pee-backlash?

certain grammar analysts believe i just claimed to anticipate the pre-backlash, but that wasn't evidenced by me responding to it after it already happened. however the original wording is unclear so who knows

Maybe he listed Ivanka as his spouse.

Hmm, I wonder why 2005, of all things.

that's the year The Apprentice: Martha Stewart aired

it's all coming together

this breaking news story must begin with a review of the fact that nixon had tax problems

and bacne

I cannot stand listening to Maddow talk.

ok i'm joining the as-it's-happening-backlash. good lord maddow just tell us the fucking news if there is news

was she always like this? i remember watching several years ago and it wasn't like this, right?

Some saying it might be related to or a product of the Tim O'Brien defamation lawsuit.

She's not a reporter and has never pretended to be. I vastly prefer Chris Hayes and can't imagine what her fans see in her.

Sean Hannity is very disturbed by all this!
