So my question is

Were all the conversations with the Con and Putin hidden because of the Mueller Investigations?

Other than the Con, who else was involved with this cover up?

Oh and by the way don't fuck with the intelligence agencies!

3. The Con told those two Russian officials it was OK to interfere in US elections

in May - then he went to Helsinki and said Putin told him he wasn't involved in said interference and he believed him. Now we see that he was trying to clear Russia of blame for the election interference.

The Con is not merely a pathological liar but he doesn't even remember his lies or his cover ups.

ITTMF RFN!!

2. Let's not skip over the obvious - he's such a pathetic embarrassment they have to sweep it away

The leaks of his calls with the Mexican and Australian leaders, I have read, were where this began. They were so embarrassing that it was decided these transcripts needed to be buried in the backyard in a coffee can.

Some of those within the administration have decided to turn on Trump. This is a good thing.

I'll be Trump is distinctly unpleasant to be around this weekend. Speculation on my part, for sure. But I think I'm right.

Trump has a long history of recording calls, according to former associates
By Marc Fisher
Washington Post | May 13, 2017 | 9:49 AM | WASHINGTON

Throughout Donald Trump's business career, some executives who came to work for him were taken aside by colleagues and warned to assume that their discussions with the boss were being recorded.

"There was never any sense with Donald of the phone being used for private conversation," said John O'Donnell, who was president of the Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino in the 1980s.

For O'Donnell and others who have had regular dealings with Trump through the years, there was something viscerally real about the threat implied by the president's tweet Friday morning warning that fired FBI Director James Comey "better hope that there are no 'tapes' of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!"

"Talking on the phone with Donald was a public experience," said O'Donnell, author of a book about his former boss, "Trumped: The Inside Story of the Real Donald Trump." "You never knew who else was listening."

Rudy was the first big rat to jump.

He has attacked everyone to protect himself.

It's about time for them to start lawyering up ?

we know he obstructed this investigation.
hiding that one conversation points to all pooties communications were hidden, and mueller didnt know where they were.

if he specifically asked for call transcripts and didnt get them, that right there is a pretty big crime.

maybe they gave him some boiled bullshit, but he must have asked, and if they gave him bs, why would he swallow it?
