There are so many sketchy characters associated with this administration it is hard to keep them straight.

ETA: It is also worth noting how many of them are cooperating.

Unlike with thieves, thereā€™s no honor among thugs and grifters.

Why wouldnā€™t they? Trump hasnā€™t pardon any of them, not even the the likes of Michael Cohen who had worked for him for years.

Along with all the unethical people who flocked to Trumpā€™s campaign and administration what I want to know is when did the DoJ start taking ā€œnot registering as a foreign agentā€ as a serious threat. I remember some weeks ago seeing the guy (now retired) who took over the department that keeps track of this on MSNBC. From what I remember of the interview it was this guy who saw something going on and decided that FARA needed to be enforced. I just canā€™t remember when he took charge, and what was the trigger that made him start prosecuting these lobbyists.

Muellerā€™s been pretty lenient with the small-fry that have cooperated. So better to cooperate and take a minimum penalty versus taking a chance on a Pardon from a disloyal guy like Trump.

They say a con is the easiest mark. It appears to be true if you consider any of these criminals actually think DJT is going to pardon them.

Call me naive, but I didnā€™t really think there were so many treasonous bastids in our United Statesā€¦and they all seem to revolve around Trumpā€¦or at least the ā€˜conservativesā€™.
