“Collins repeatedly tried to reach his son on the phone. After ‘several missed calls,’ they ‘connected and spoke for six minutes.’ What followed, according to the indictment, was a phone tree of insider trading violations.”

Thank G-d the GOP rammed through all those draconian surveillance powers under Shrub.

I’ll bet Mr. Mueller has tons of these heartwarming chats between fathers and sons.

Maybe even between fathers and sons -in- law.

Or daughters.

“What followed, according to the indictment, was a phone tree of insider trading violations.”

When editorial standards preclude the use of the word “clusterf*ck.”

Christ a’mighty, but this debacle has less subtlety than a plot line from “Billions”.

(p.s. I quite like the image of a veritable “phone tree of insider trading violations.”)

“Wow. Makes no sense. How are these results even possible???” --Chris Collins

“WTF? How could I be blindsided like this. You told me you were on top of this.” --Paul Manafort

There’s a white-collar country and western song in there somewhere. Possibly rap.

It’s like one of those log flume rides where you can buy the picture of yourself freaking out at the big drop. There’s your money shot, Mr. Collins!

It’s not fair when the tools you created to watch your enemies are used against you.

Wow! The Trump White House picnic, better known as the Future Felons Club, must have been quite the event. I hope they have a nice ten year reunion at Leavenworth.

Since NY primaries are already done, what’s the ballot effect on NY-27? How did he not just flip his own seat?

ETA: Watching his presser, looks like he’s going full Roy Moore. Go for it!

It would be fun to collect all the time-stamped video from the picnic and compare it to his cell phone records.

It’s always nice to put a human face on corruption.
