Sure, the FBI may have him on a jaywalking rap he can’t beat. That’s absolutely mathematically possible.

In other news, lots of sites are making hay about the remark by the FBI Special Agent in the Senate Intelligence Committee today: “The commander-in-chief has used Russian active measures at times against his opponents.” It’s fairly dressed up in impressive lingo (active measures and all that), but really he’s talking about stuff that’s already public knowledge–remember, this was an open session–no classified stuff allowed, so this is not indicating any information from the ongoing FBI investigation, as some seem to be hoping.

So what’s he referring to then? The Sputnik link I mentioned earlier, which basically showed that Russian intelligence did in at least one case alter the leaked DNC e-mails to make them look incriminating, and that altered version made a direct line from the Sputnik site to a Trump speech a few hours later without hitting any other news or propaganda sources first–which was made even less probable by the fact that Sputnik pulled the article off their website almost immediately after publishing it (probably because it was provably doctored). So common public knowledge for the past six months, dressed up like a bombshell. But really it’s the same-old, same-old. Yes, Russian intelligence used the mail to support their desired election result (Russian active measures). And Trump used that material at a speed that makes it appear it was sent right to his campaign (used against his opponents). I’d like to hear something we didn’t know long before the election happened.
