What about the docs at Bellevue?

This is a big reveal? That Jr. was meeting with Russians promising intel on HRC? Wasn't that already assumed? And wouldn't it be political malpractice not to explore such a lead?

It's salacious, no doubt, but whatever... It's just more of the Trump Shitshow. Did you expect something else? Did we all assume this would be like the Ford Administration?

Nobody but people who already hate Trump care. All's fair in politics.

I'm more interested in HC and taxes.

Ah. Thanks. That was just what I needed.

Flavius Stilicho defeated Alaric's Goth three times, twice in Italy, saving the Western Roman Empire. But his rivals persuaded the emperor, Honorius, to have him arrested and executed. All's fair in politics, right? Alaric later sacked Rome. C'est la vie.

Perhaps, but it was certainly being repeatedly denied. And not just Jr. Also the campaign chairman and a now senior advisor to the president.

No, and it might have been felonious to do so if he was soliciting an in kind donation of opposition research. Oh, and even his cover story is that she was asking a quid pro quo regarding the lifting of sanctions.

When Sebby says that all's fair in politics, he means that he has no problems with felonies. It's all fair. Because it's politics.

Almost everything's a felony when the Feds want you. The fed crim code's a joke.

I don't care. If Jr. fucked up, he could be in serious trouble. Caveat emptor, novice. Time to call dad for lawyers, guns, and money!

(I've met Jr. Seemed like a quiet, almost shy sort. Didn't seem like the kind who'd do well in jail. But then, fed white collar jail is easy time, and he could make some good business connections.)

Lying to the media's not a crime.

Manafort and Jared might be going to Club Fed. "Buy the ticket, take the ride...". Whatevs.

This is a carnival show. Just like HRC's emails.

While loopy, this tends to put your view of the criminality of Hillary's email server arrangements in a somewhat better light. Not good, but better.

Ho hum, his senior advisors and close family members are crooks.

Oh, and 45 said the evening that Don Jr confirmed the meeting that he was going to have a press conference with dirt on Hillary. And tweeted for the first time about the Russians finding Hillary's emails.

But sure. He didn't know. Just a coincidence.

Just like HRC's emails.

You're truly a moron.

It's a giant motherfucking nothing burger. You know why? Because the burger IS MADE OF NOTHING! Have you ever eaten a burger made of nothing? How would you even know? It is all meaningless meaninglessness that will lead to nothing because that is what is unfair in politics. Nothing. Take that and make a burger out of it and I think you'll begin to understand. Ask Tricky Dick. He didn't do shit. But the Feds decided they didn't like him so suddenly committing crimes while in the White House was a "felony." Felony shmelony. Treason shmeason. A giant load of bullshit is what this is. The only people who care about Trump committing "felonies" are the people who hate Trump already, and the people who hate Trump already only hate him because he commits "felonies." It's like a snake eating its own tail. After eating a whole fucking platter of nothing burgers.
