Now, isn't that convenient. Trump is out golfing today. We don't know who's in the party he's with. We don't know what they're talking about. Golf courses are great for secret discussions about, you know, whatever and the other thing.
We need some of the players to turn State's evidence on this whole shebang. We might have to give them immunity, but we need very much to know the truth.
It's beginning to look like just that sort of arrangements are being made, too. Who will be the first to spill his guts about Trump and his Russian connections? Once one goes, the others will follow, if they can get immunity.
I hate to see crooks get away with things, but sometimes, we need them to get an investigation to the top.

CNN has a few of them.

(960 posts)It'd be a cheap alternative to the general trend of actual journalism being replaced by NewsTalking and googling. Presidents should either meet with better people, or meet with the bad people they're meeting with in a more secure location.
Imagine this guy with a drone. The sky's the limits.

(146,288 posts)They don't worry about cameras and directional mics. They're worried about explosives and aerosols. There will be no drones allowed to fly anywhere near any President anywhere. It simply won't happen.

(146,288 posts)They know about the dangers of things like golf carts, golf bags, and even golf clubs. Every one of those things is thoroughly screened, not just for bugs but for explosives and other dangers. the Secret Service is not an amateur group in any way, despite their lax patrolling of the White House at times.
