Even by Trump standards

[BainsBane]

Donny jr. is dumb as bricks. Daddy can't be pleased with his running his mouth off to the Times.

It did occur to me he might have implicated the Toxic Tangerine on purpose, but since he's gotten himself into such legal jeapordy, I think it more likely that it was a monumental blunder.

Karma for killing baby elephants, the monster.

1. Oh he is a dumb shit

But it wasn't on purpose. It was leaked, possibly by the investigative team to see if team tRUMP would take the bait. They did! And now the mother fuckers are hooked.

2. Yes, even by "Trump standards" ...

... and as we all know, that's a very low bar.

Looking back over the past few months, it's amazing how much damage the Trump kids and Kushner have done to dear ol' dad. And it's not just a matter of a lack of political savvy - a lot of it has been a total lack of basic common sense.

While Idiot Boy keeps digging the hole he's in, his kids are busy stepping-in with their own shovels.

I think it was Fugelsang who, speaking about the Trump kids, coined the term "The douche doesn't fall far from the bag".

Not only is stupid is as stupid does - apparently stupid is as stupid breeds. The best thing Idiot Boy could have done for himself was to tell his own kids "PLEASE DON'T 'HELP'!"

4. His dad used to berate him in front of his friends in college

5. It's like a bad remake of The Godfather, but every member of the family is Fredo.

10. But Jared thinks he's Michael.

19. I hope you don't mind my re-using that! I'm tired of the Corleones being dragged in Trump filth

Every other reference people keep making to The Godfather seems so off-key, because the Corleones are so clearly more competent and moral than the Trumps.

11. Do you think it is really going to matter?

These people are breaking laws all over the place. I am really thinking that they can do whatever, and get away with it. I love how you think something out and would like to hear your opinion.

12. Trump junior isn't in government

Nothing is to stop Mueller from indicting him if he has the evidence. Remember there were convictions in the Iran Contra affair, and that was nothing compared to this. People will see a prison cell (absent presidential pardons). That doesn't mean Trump will or that he'll be impeached, but some are bound to face legal penalties for what we know are violations of federal law, like repeatedly lying on security clearance forms. They aren't all going to get away with it.

Flynn, Manafort, Kushner and baby elephant killer are all in legal jeopardy.

13. Thank-you for your thought on this. Eom

14. Junior may be running his mouth because he doesn't have a choice

When someone has the goods on you, you may not have a choice. You admit as much as you think the other guy has, and hope that's the end of it. Instead, one bit of evidence leads to the next and next and the next and pretty soon, before you even know it, you're royally screwed. It may be slowly dawning on Junior that he's in deep trouble, not the kind you can walk away from or buy your way out of.

15. "No comment"

That's what you say if you have any sense. That's what any lawyer would tell him to say, only he didn't hire a lawyer beforehand.

16. Question: Suppose tomorrow Trump just pardons everyone

His idiot son, Kushner, Flynn...the whole kit and kaboodle. What then?

[BainsBane]

17. I would consider it an admission of guilt

What the GOP would do . .. what do they ever do?

[CanonRay]

18. In other words. We're screwed

Trump has zero moral scruples, we already know that. Why wouldn't he pardon everyone?

20. The gang who couldn't shoot straight!
