Thought for the day: If the New York Times knows all this, imagine what Bob Mueller knows.

A consequence of these stories is that no blanket denial of anything by this White House will be believable. So the President and his team can expect to be nibbled by ducks as long as they’re in office.”

1. Did he know or not. I heard the latest Jr/Russia meeting was news to him too.

I assumed he already had the info but I also assumed Obama would take care of everything too.

2. Trump has the reputation of being a micromanager

do you really think he didn't now what was up when his son, son-in-law and campaign manager went over to meet with the Russian lawyer/spy? I mean, they were all in the same building and it was that night that Trump Sr starting talking up the emails.

Junior - "Hey, look, I got this email from the Russians offering to give us dirt on Hillary..."
Jared - "should we tell Don Senior?"
Junior - "shit, we gotta tell him - maybe he'll increase my allowance as a reward..."
Jared - "good idea, maybe both of our allowances if it's some good dirt."
Junior - "right. I heard Russian spy chicks are all 10s, too. Heh heh heh..."

3. I would love to see the FBI's white boards - with all the sequencing that

needs to be documented, each agent, at this point, probably has all four walls of an auditorium covered with pics, names, different colored pins and connectors..

Like a puzzle, this truly amazing coup, hopefully will fall apart and, in the end we will see blue skies again....

I haven't been saying much - just observing and reading....what I like to do right now is read the headlines all at once here at latest threads -

IMHO - trump is just the smoke and screen for the republiklan congress and they will not do anything until they have their agenda signed and sealed..by someone with just enough digits to hold a pen...afterall, that $900B in the trumpnocare needed to pay off the kochs who put their arse in the seat of congress....

Schiff was quick to get out in front last night and let us know just how serious this Djr scandal is...ya' gotta' love Painter..such passion....and Jill Wine-banks, simply amazing ..and many others...they are laser focused on the crime....

4. Trump is a traitor. So what?

He will pardon his kids, Republicans will never impeach him, nor convict him if enough Dems are elected to impeach him.

This story helps Dems in elections but it doesn't hurt Trump personally.

5. NY state charges

May be looming in the background. ...
Can't pardon state charges.
