do or die

30 Million gets you a whole lot of collusion....

Trump two days ago: Sarah Huckabee Sanders today: So glad she has recovered from her momentary hesitation over the Porter thing. Spin cycle back on.

You might think that. I couldn't possibly comment.......

So, just because Don Trump is a serial lying, self centered, mendacious, raging narcissist.......it somehow means he does not care. So cold, man.

You mean innocent men, don't you?

Still don't know what Bannon is telling Mueller about certain people within the WH. Kushner and Trump Jr. are probably not on his Christmas list. BTW...whatever happened to the ole "red line" about Mueller probing into Trump family finances?

You mean something like this? http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/374586-officials-identified-over-40-million-in-suspicious-transactions

The lawyer behind Manifort's Ukraine lobbing effort has been charged with lying to Mueller's Special Council Team. He is also the son-in law to Russian oligarch German Khan https://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/law-firm-associate-pleads-guilty-mueller-lying Couple of logical takeaways: Message to people who think they will lie to Mueller's people Message to the Russians Message to Manifort But instead....I expect: BOMBSHELL! TRUMP INNOCENT! NO COLLUSION! POW!! MUELLER FRAUD!! WITCH HUNT CONTINUES!!

What! We lost Kyle Knox! Good.

One of the other interesting items in Trump's latest box barrage of tweets: I NEVER SAID RUSSIA DID NOT MEDDLE IN THE ELECTION! Well, at least the Don, is actually telling the truth......about Putin "laughing his ass off"

You missed the directive, to stop running Harris, inside the red zone..........

...and Bowman perhaps reaching the sticks.

He pretty well has to. Bannon was angling for the interview format, all the way. He would be content to not be the target, whatever that would take.....

Meanwhile Bannon spends two full days with Mueller, to avoid public testimony in front of the grand jury......then afterwards, continues to freeze out the Congressional Committee, on the Hill. Some folks should be real worried about this......particularly Kushner.

I think the flipping of Gates - Paul Manafort’s right hand man, during his past decade of lobbying and foreign work - puts him in the next set of cross hairs. Mueller may be able to double down on the indictments against Manifort - then invite him back for an interview, to see if he is more willing to play some ball.....

Don Jr. invited Mueller, a while back to "come for him". This may prove to be a singularly bad idea.

Collusion is probably the most difficult charge to make stick, because of all the moving parts, and in this case - buffers - from a judicial point of view. However, events over the past year, plus what has come out of Trump's own mouth.....have provide a certain amount of circumstantial evidence and some proof of intent .....to make obstruction of justice, a real possibility. That is if Mueller can get a certain level of collaboration from witnesses. Still think that the ole money trail.....which takes a great deal of research and time - will eventually yield some pretty interesting stuff..... about certain relationships between the Trump family and some Russian political and criminal interests.

Keep the sandbox clean.....

One would think that any American, regardless of political stripe......would be concerned about Russian attempts to influence the election, and would like actions taken, to defend against them in future. Degrading and destroying confidence in democratic institutions, has always been a long term goal for the Kremlin. Of course, the first step....would be for Trump to actually acknowledge that there is a problem. Desisting from degrading and destroying public confidence in American judicial and security institutions.....would be a pretty good 2nd step.

...or not.

There wasn't.....even before he was elected. Disagree with Clinton tagging any of his supporters as a "deplorable" though. "Gullible" might be more like it.

Yup, it just could be that the non-stop lying, spinning, and deflecting....about contacts with the Russians .......from everybody in the Trump campaign, and the almost desperate attempts to smear and impede Mueller, the FBI, and Dept. of Justice...... was simply for show. Or not.

But Trump sez that the intelligence agencies are wrong and that no Russian interference ever took place......... Mueller is really going about this in a structured way. He now has the actual Russian perpetrators and exposed their methodology - he also has 5 members of the Trump campaign chirping away and giving evidence - all that is left, is to start connecting the dots to any Americans who uh, "co-operated" with this Kremlin initiative. Can't wait.

Three legs.... 1. Draft/FA 2. Recruitment 3. Development As in icebergs......1 and 2 are the most viable. Number 3 is the internal improvement component. Bombers have some young guys, who need reps and coaching up. Guys who are not "name players"yet - can always become some. Will be watching Demski, Santos-Knox, Walker, Alexander, et al. Gut feeling is that current management will show to be more adept, in this area......than in the past.
