So he was told to do this by someone in transition team. That alone might not be illegal, right? Of course, it looks like a quid pro quo. Then there is this: “ABC’s Brian Ross says that Michael Flynn—the former national security adviser who pleaded guilty Friday to lying to the FBI and is cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation—is prepared to testify that Donald Trump directed him to make contact with Russian officials during the 2016 presidential campaign” from Slate quoting ABC

They’re not finished writing it. They still haven’t figured out exactly how they’re going to pay for all the goodies they gave to Johnson. It looks like they bumped up the rate for repatriated funds, but it’s not clear that’s enough.

“Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team said that other officials in President Trump’s transition team were aware of and even instructed Flynn’s backchannel communications with a Russian ambassador before Trump’s inauguration.”

Mueller’s spokesman later added:

“We cannot name any individuals at this time, but one of their names rhymes with ‘Schmike Schmence’…”

Tick, tick, tick. Not hours, now minutes.

Get it in before their world blows up in a crap storm they never imagined. Still won’t help. It can all be undone later.

Flake sold out for a promise to fix DACA. I can’t figure out if he’s really that dumb or if he just said, “Fuck it.” There’s a government shutdown coming in a week–neither DACA nor CHIP will get fixed in time, is my guess.

So this puts Ty Cobb in an interesting position, because he just said the opposite. Either he’s being lied to by his client (in which case attorney-client privilege can be pierced) or he’s knowingly making false statements.

According to prosecutors, after Egypt submitted the UN resolution on the Israeli settlement on Dec. 21, “a very senior member” of Trump’s transition team “instructed” Flynn to “contact officials from foreign government, including Russia, to learn where each government stood on the resolution and to influence those governments to delay the vote or defeat the resolution.”

OK! Who’s in charge here? Who’s leading this transition scheme? I’ll go to the very top to get an answer if i have to. Where’s Mike Pence?
