It's very weird. One of the 'journalists' involved seemed to have made up a spy agency: https://www.gq.com/story/the-lasts-tweets-of-jacob-wohl

Quote:
One of the entities linked to this alleged scheme—which, it bears repeating, is intended to take down the longtime director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation—is a Southern California-based outfit called Surefire Intelligence. This revelation was all the Internet needed to unspool Wohl's handiwork in damning and hilarious fashion. His email address appears in the domain registration records. As noted at The Daily Beast, LinkedIn profiles of purported Surefire Intelligence staffers used headshots of Bar Refaeli, Christoph Waltz, Sigourney Weaver's husband, and some poor pastor in Michigan. Its "head of government relations" works as a model for stock photos. And the silhouette of Surefire managing partner "Matthew Cohen" bears a remarkable resemblance to the shadow cast by Jacob Wohl himself.

Best of all, Wohl's efforts to cover the tracks of his smoke-and-mirrors investigative services agency did not extend past the phone numbers of his immediate family members. NBC News also discovered that a number listed on Surefire Intelligence's web site connected to a voicemail message that advised callers to try a second number, which belongs to...Jacob Wohl's mom. "Wohl stopped respond to NBC News," their report concludes, "after being told Surefires's official phone number redirects to his mother's voicemail.

There is speculation this might be a prank on the media

Interesting tweet by Trump just now

Rumor has it that Senator Joe Donnelly of Indiana is paying for Facebook ads for his so-called opponent on the libertarian ticket. Donnelly is trying to steal the election? Isn’t that what Russia did!?

Midterms today: Democrats favorite to take the house, Republicans heavy favorites to keep the Senate.

If that transpires then its going to be pretty hard for any bill to get passed.

He will like it even less now the results have come in as it appears that he has lost control of the House of Representatives.

Pretty boring result really. What was expected with both sides being able to take comfort from something

Not really. This was quite a blow for the Republicans. It was pretty obvious that they would retain control of the Senate as it was mainly Democrat seats up for grabs. All eyes now will be looking at the implications of this landslide for the Presidency in 2020. Not looking good for the Donald.

It’s getting increasingly difficult for the Democrats to win though. Tonight it seems that they’re winning the popular vote in the house by 9% but if they had a bit lower than that the Republicans could have kept it. You have a situation now where more people can vote for the Democrats in each branch of government and yet still have the Republicans control all three.

I disagree and I wouldn’t use the Mid terms as a Measure of what will happen in 2020 Presidential Election. Remember, Barack Obama, in his first mid term test lost 60+ House Seats for the Democrats, that was a significant mid term defeat for the Democrats. He still won his second term in 2012.

There was suppose to be this “Blue Wave” expected. Damp squib springs to mind.

Not a blue wave IMO but obviously significant in that the Democrats took the house. 2010 is a good comparison although you can’t compare seats directly because it’s not the same cycle.

I think the Democrats can be disappointed it wasn’t a blow out. Earlier in the year people thought even the senate might be up for grabs. To lose seats, even if it was likely, is not great.

And every candidate backed by Obama took a nose dive and lost ;)
