They're going to blame everything on Hillary or Obama and set up their own Russian collusion investigation led by Rudy Giuliani and Chris Christie.

Both are just a couple of low life thugs. Isn't just peachy that we have such a pair exploiting us. Correction: Its called protection money in their circle.

Maybe a good helping of The Merchant of Venice with a whole cast of Shylocks could be thrown in. It could be billed as a Midnight's Nightmare.

If society goes to hell, they just as well should burn all their money and toss out all their valuables, because it all will be useless to them.

No one believes either trump or guiliani anymore now. They just lie too much, and cohen has privately told friends he wasn't repaid. so trump and guiliani are lying. More to expose trump and guiliani will come out and again they'll change their story with more lies. They've done this a number of other times before.

Thu May 3, 2018, 10:23 AM
May 2018

Lie primarily in personal experience.

He has had three marriages with lots of overlap in the relationship timelines. He learned a lot about operating underhandedly in the public eye.

Granted, this is not a small club in Republican circles but it does represent a bond between scumbags.

It may last days or weeks because it's as fake as everything else about him. Trump has found a new famous face to use and then dispose of.

Walk in front of the White House with a poster around your neck saying, I use to work for Trump but I quit. Need a new job. Maybe, someone will pity you and give you a job.

They would probably be better off claiming to have been in prison than serving in this administration on their job applications. Maybe they will be offered a spot in the Witness Protection Program or they could buy a pardon on time payments. Of course the pardons wouldn't be effective till paid in full along with all the added clauses not yet included they agreed to accept. Pence could make a fortune selling pardons that would be far more lucrative then operating homosexual cure clinics. He is sure to have paid close attention to how these scams were operated by his mentor for years.

To use and discredit the venerable institutions of the USA solely to protect his singular interests.

Someone needs to be made an example of, and the Story of DJT should be a cautionary tale for successors to his office.
