Get a grip, people. The donations were for the orphans, those poor, helpless Russian orphans. Every orphan to get a MAGA hat and a signed picture of the ‘orange one.’ Mr. Trump’s empathy knows no bounds. Just look at all those flood victims he met with and hugged.

“It is 100 percent false to suggest this meeting included any discussion of donations from Russian sources to either the Trump campaign or the Republican Party,” Maloni said. “This speculation and conjecture is pointless and wrong.”

In other words, “Yeah, they donated.”

Wholeheartedly agree. This massive criminal enterprise (Republican Party) would never have been in as much jeopardy had not Trump been the 24/7 beacon of massive criminal incompetence that we can now all see.

Shtupping with the 14 yr old Ivanka would get an “atta boy” from his base no doubt.

I’m with you. I was so excited yesterday when the news broke. I hope Mueller doesn’t even consider filing Fed charges. Give it to Schneiderman and let them all rot in the state pen.

Yes, and to those who want to see this whole mess over with ASAP, I say that patience is a virtue, particularly as we are increasingly seeing how vast this investigation is and how far the Russia-Trump tentacles reach.

We will only get one shot at this, so it’s better to do it right than to do it fast.

If this touches the RNC and Republican leaders it could be positively seismic in scope.

And I say that if this stretches into next summer, the Democrats have a much better chance of taking over the House.

I’d love for McConnell to be dirty but I agree with you. Ryan and the house are the ones still clinging to the shitgibbon. I’d settle for Ryans head and the complete humiliation of the Republican party and all who serve it, for now.

It’s a terrible time for our country to have the Senate, the House, and the Presidency all controlled by the GOP.

I’ve been following them pretty closely on twitter and it does seem that their sources are well-connected. They’ve scored big hits to date, no doubt. I take it all with a grain of salt. Quite enjoyable reading, though.

He wouldn’t recognize Junior, either.

From Josh’s theory:

Here’s a snippet from an AP interview with Akhmetshin …

Veselnitskaya brought with her a plastic folder with printed-out documents that detailed what she believed was the flow of illicit funds to the Democrats, Akhmetshin said. Veselnitskaya presented the contents of the documents to the Trump associates and suggested that making the information public could help the campaign, he said.

"This could be a good issue to expose how the DNC is accepting bad money,” Akhmetshin recalled her saying.

Now, if making the information public could help Trump, that had to mean the information wasn’t already public. That almost certainly means they were acquired by illegitimate means.

What are the chances that Veselnitskaya’s documents were merely forgeries intended to make it look like the DNC had accepted illicit funds? Wouldn’t this be just one more example of classic Chiselin’ Trumpian projection?

Just look at all those flood victims he met with and hugged.

Yes, he has seen the devastation first hand (of course, he’s still tweeting with the other hand).
