"President Trump’s attorney asked OGE to allow him to be the first filer in history to be excused from the obligation to certify that his report was true.”

That is just incredible.

Normally, Trump excuses himself from that obligation without bothering to ask anyone.

Like he did with the oath of office.

Gee, ya’ think? Only a possible crime?

What does the form say directly above where Trump’s signature is supposed to be?

I think he’s just being cautious there, sticking to what’s factual, the way journalists always say “alleged” if a person hasn’t been convicted for the allegation. Walt Shaub has been a relentless, passionate critic of Trump, and a very committed defender of ethics in government. He’s not letting anyone off the hook here.

Any financial disclosure from that crowd will show evidence of possible crimes…

I went to a dumpster fire the other night, and a Trump legal defense broke out.

The problem is, he is the FORMER Ethics Chief. This is probably as far as it is going to go.

I know we’re gonna get a lot more. At least I hope we’re gonna get a lot more, because this is piddling. Ethics violation? Didn’t disclose a few $100,000?

Yawn.

"…instead, President Trump’s attorney asked OGE to allow him to be the first filer in history to be excused from the obligation to certify that his report was true.”

That’s stable genius Donald, a real trend setter.
Hopefully, he’ll follow it up by being the first indicted sitting president.

Problem here is, that old “The Truth will set you free” idiom isn’t true for Trump… quite the contrary.

I’m sure the GOP will be able to tell me why this lie about an affair is different than Bill Clinton’s impeachable lying about an affair.

It’s only Wednesday. Since events are happening so quickly, time is slowing down. Monday is Avenetti day, Tuesday is the new hump day, Wednesday is major revelations day, Thursday is What’s gonna happen on Friday day, and Friday we slip into a coma of anxiety and schadenfreude. The weekends are more free-form – could be a tweetstorm, could be time for another Giuliani star turn, maybe another volcanic eruption from one source or another.
