"SNIP..............


A half-dozen Republicans, including four who advised or worked for Trump's campaign or transition and are still in contact with their former colleagues, said they think the two sides are talking less, disagreeing more and occasionally bad mouthing each others' bosses. One said the staffs are "walled off" from each other. Several of the Republicans asked to not speak publicly because of the sensitivity of the situation.

"There is clearly tension between the two staffs," a former Trump adviser said. "There's so much internet chatter. That's going to fuel the animosity."

Republicans say it's only natural that some of the president's aides are reconsidering who they can trust as the White House continues to reel from an undisciplined president and multiple inquiries into whether Trump associates joined Russia in meddling in the presidential election.

"The administration doesn't know who to trust," Republican strategist Michael Steel said. "When you're under attack the circle tightens."

1. The whole Republican party needs to go down without taking the country with it.

[Bleacher Creature]

2. Ok, I will settle their dispute for them.

They both suck. I'll await my payment by mail.

3. internet chatter. That's going to fuel the animosity.

Imagine THAT!

4. Pence is preparing to take over, and if it's this obvious to

us, imagine what the insiders know. So many people for DT to fire...Pence, Sessions, Mueller, Rosenstein...it mau take a week for that massacre. Perhaps, the 25th Amend will be invoked first, but, damn, Congress has to approve. Possibly???

9. That's not how it will work.

Mueller and all the other investigators are doing the traditional method of picking off the henchmen first, getting them to sing, then using that info to move to the next level.
which, at this point, is gonna be Kushner and the Trump boys ( for RICO, money laundering, collusion with foreign powers, etc) then Pence ( now there is evidence showing he was very involved with Russians via Flynn).
Flynn, Carter, Manafort all have been chatting nicely with the FBI, etc. That's pretty fast work, actually.

I am hoping like hell Pence panics and resigns. he has already lawyered up, and he opened a PAC, ostensibly for re-election, but actually for paying the lawyers.

Trump did same, re: PAC. If his stupid supporters want to throw money at him, fine.

5. The Con knows that Pence wants his job

I freaking love this.

[Achilleaze]

6. Republican traitors against America are not to be trusted

Yeah I wouldn't trust a Republican for anything.

[nolabels]

7. Including this story!

Both camps are into it right up to their eyeballs. As for infighting between them, nothing to get distracted about

What do you call: Ten-thousand republican lawmakers at the bottom of the sea?
Answer: A good start

8. Huge grain of salt.

Massively huge.
