No senility setting in yet . Are the hunters in your area getting their bag so far this year ?
And now Russia is telling the US to not let any of the recordings done between Vlad and Trump go.
I'd call that damn suspicious for both men.

C.I.A. Informant Extracted From Russia Had Sent Secrets to U.S. for Decades
WASHINGTON — Decades ago, the C.I.A. recruited and carefully cultivated a midlevel Russian official who began rapidly advancing through the governmental ranks. Eventually, American spies struck gold: The longtime source landed an influential position that came with access to the highest level of the Kremlin.
As American officials began to realize that Russia was trying to sabotage the 2016 presidential election, the informant became one of the C.I.A.’s most important — and highly protected — assets. But when intelligence officials revealed the severity of Russia’s election interference with unusual detail later that year, the news media picked up on details about the C.I.A.’s Kremlin sources.
C.I.A. officials worried about safety made the arduous decision in late 2016 to offer to extract the source from Russia. The situation grew more tense when the informant at first refused, citing family concerns — prompting consternation at C.I.A. headquarters and sowing doubts among some American counterintelligence officials about the informant’s trustworthiness. But the C.I.A. pressed again months later after more media inquiries. This time, the informant agreed.
The move brought to an end the career of one of the C.I.A.’s most important sources. It also effectively blinded American intelligence officials to the view from inside Russia as they sought clues about Kremlin interference in the 2018 midterm elections and next year’s presidential contest.
A spotlight on the people reshaping our politics. A conversation with voters across the country. And a guiding hand through the endless news cycle, telling you what you really need to know.
CNN first reported the 2017 extraction on Monday. Other details — including the source’s history with the agency and the cascade of doubts set off by the informant’s refusal of the initial exfiltration offer — have not been previously reported. This article is based on interviews in recent months with current and former officials who spoke on the condition that their names not be used discussing classified information.
Officials did not disclose the informant’s identity or new location, both closely held secrets. The person’s life remains in danger, current and former officials said, pointing to Moscow’s attempts last year to assassinate Sergei V. Skripal, a former Russian intelligence official who moved to Britain as part of a high-profile spy exchange in 2010.
The Moscow informant was instrumental to the C.I.A.’s most explosive conclusion about Russia’s interference campaign: that President Vladimir V. Putin ordered and orchestrated it himself. As the American government’s best insight into the thinking of and orders from Mr. Putin, the source was also key to the C.I.A.’s assessment that he affirmatively favored Donald J. Trump’s election and personally ordered the hacking of the Democratic National Committee.
The informant, according to people familiar with the matter, was outside of Mr. Putin’s inner circle, but saw him regularly and had access to high-level Kremlin decision-making — easily making the source one of the agency’s most valuable assets.
Handling and running a Moscow-based informant is extremely difficult because of Mr. Putin’s counterintelligence defenses. The Russians are known to make life miserable for foreign spies, following them constantly and at times roughing them up. Former C.I.A. employees describe the entanglements as “Moscow rules.”
The informant’s information was so delicate, and the need to protect the source’s identity so important, that the C.I.A. director at the time, John O. Brennan, kept information from the operative out of President Barack Obama’s daily brief in 2016. Instead, Mr. Brennan sent separate intelligence reports, many based on the source’s information, in special sealed envelopes to the Oval Office.
The information itself was so important and potentially contentious in 2016 that top C.I.A. officials ordered a full review of the informant’s record, according to people briefed on the matter. Officials reviewed information the source had provided years earlier to ensure that it had proved accurate.
Even though the review passed muster, the source’s rejection of the C.I.A.’s initial offer of exfiltration prompted doubts among some counterintelligence officials. They wondered whether the informant had been turned and had become a double agent, secretly betraying his American handlers. That would almost certainly mean that some of the information the informant provided about the Russian interference campaign or Mr. Putin’s intentions would have been inaccurate.
Some operatives had other reasons to suspect the source could be a double agent, according to two former officials, but they declined to explain further.
Other current and former officials who acknowledged the doubts said they were put to rest when the source agreed to be extracted after the C.I.A. asked a second time.
Leaving behind one’s native country is a weighty decision, said Joseph Augustyn, a former senior C.I.A. officer who once ran the agency’s defector resettlement center. Often, informants have kept their spy work secret from their families.

Former Vice President Joe Biden is considered to be the frontrunner in the US Democratic primaries despite his controversial performance during the second debate in August and a recently emerged scandal about him allegedly meddling in Ukrainian internal affairs to save his son from potential prosecution.
In his latest appeal to US voters to support his election campaign, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders has accused former Vice President Joe Biden and his allies of trying to "buy" the Democratic primaries.
"It should not be a surprise that wealthy donors of the political establishment are trying to buy this election. Now we need to be ready for when they do", he said.
The senator referred to a recent The New York Times article claiming that Biden's allies believe that the former vice president won't be able to win his campaign without the use of so-called Super Political Action Committees (Super PACs). Sanders claimed that such actions endanger his campaign and the entire US.
"Super PACs can raise and spend unlimited amounts of money to promote or attack candidates. They are a threat to our democracy. And frankly, they are a threat to our campaign and our hopes to transform our country", the Vermont senator said.
Sanders asked his supporters to "chip in what they can" in a bid to amass enough funds to overcome potential pro-Biden Super PAC efforts. All of the Democratic candidates have said they will not accept support from any Super PACs, including Biden, according to the NYT article.
Super PACs can indeed attract unlimited donations, but must spend the funds independently without directly coordinating with any of the candidates or parties, who are limited in how much funding they can attract. But they can still support certain election campaigns without coordinating with them directly. In their campaign spending, Super PACs sometimes surpass all candidates, as was the case in the 2012 Republican primaries.

State Department intensifies email probe of Hillary Clinton's former aides
As many as 130 current and former Clinton officials have been questioned in recent weeks by State Department investigators. The list includes senior officials who reported directly to Clinton while she was secretary of state as well as others in lower-level jobs whose emails were at some point relayed to her inbox, according to current and former officials.
State Department officials said they are following protocol. Others worried they could be using the powers of the executive branch to harass political adversaries.

........and into the dung they go. We aint' seen nuthin yet.......as Donald is angry.........and is going to get revenge on everyone if he can arrange it.
Totally the WRONG person for the delicate job of POTUS...........one that demands TACT, DIPLOMACY, an excellent command of the English language........ability to articulate effectively and not let HIS emotions determine his actions .
He has been out of control for awhile.......but this will demonstrate even more deterioration.......anger......and threats.
He has ruined the image of the US.
He will go after anyone that does not behave like a Donald Robot.
Nope, you need some refernces from Russia rather than the US media repeating the same story endlessly. You aren't really that naive are you, sarcasm added.

Come back when you have him saying that in a video considering the western media prints more lies more than the members here do.
To be honest I'm not surprised at all that he's freaking out about Hillary again.
It'll probably become more of a thing again the more the impeachment inquiry questions people.
More likely they are just staying away from having to post 'the bad news' such as Iran and Israel getting closer together and the US is the 'bad guy', Karma??
It is meant to distract from his issues.............which he knows are true. He plays the distraction game.......when ever he feels threatened. In HIS 'mind" Hillary is unfinished business.........as she "offended " him. He holds a grudge. We have seen that in his behavior many times. Now he has the power to demand certain investigations......and his loyalists will do as he demands. Will b every interesting to watch his behavior as the pressure builds...........but we can expect more very angry and revenge filled conduct. Some have indicated that he is dangerous........and this might become more evident to the public as the pressure builds.
