As developments have become more and more public, I think theres a tendency to look at it in an incremental way and sometimes you ignore the big picture, you miss the big picture. Its like not seeing your child grow up because you see them every day. If I had told you nine months ago that I believe we would find evidence that the Russian government, through intermediaries, would offer assistance in the form of derogatory information about Hillary Clinton to the very top levels of the Trump campaign, including his son, son-in-law and campaign manager, as what they described as part of the Russian government effort to help Donald Trump, and that the reaction from the campaign is, We would love that help, you would say, Youre crazy, no one is going to be stupid enough to put that in writing. And yet, thats exactly what we found. So, sometimes its worthwhile to step back and say, Okay, what do we now know? And what we now know is pretty damning.

(51,430 posts)2. Ever since Manafort and pals were indicted on Monday
and the news of Papa broke there seems to be a new theme coming from Washington. The word "collusion" keeps coming up and no one seems to know what the official definition is but they agree that they believe there was definitely collusion whether or not you want to use the specific word.

Very encouraging words from him on Rachel's show last night

Which are all much more defined and scary in a legal sense.

(3,048 posts)8. That's one of the reasons charges were also filed in New York.
Against Manafort anyway. Trump can pardon on the federal level, but not the state.

Sick, evil, anti-American criminal treason. Lock the Republican treason weasels up and throw away the key.
