cue the relevant twittler tweet from the archives excoriating Hillz for this supposed very same offense.

Sharpei and Freud!

I just can’t spell it…

What’s the problem? This payment proves there was no collusion with Russia. WITCH HUNT!

Whereupon some entity seven or eight layers away that exists only on paper quietly deposits a sum minus the usual fee in a bank account in Cyprus or the Caymans. How many “companies” did the Trump organization include? Wasn’t it hundreds? Or was it thousands? I forget. Quite a few. Who wants to start a pool on how soon the name Semyon Mogilevich becomes prominent in the news? ETA About 500 entities in the Trump organization. Seems legit!

Just a lot of caring, giving people there, concerned for the welfare of those less fortunate.

Anyone want to guess how many individual counts of criminal behavior the indictment will include when all is said and done? I think we could be looking into the hundreds. Throw this one on the pile as just one of many at this point.

I want to start a pool on when the first Trump family member will be indicted. I’m willing to say before April 30.

Dude, three weeks? I thought I was an optimist.

Nah. April 30 is too soon. Closer to November. I say it’ll happen in the fall. Then the house of cards will begin to tumble. It’ll be Don Jr. that may take the first hit, followed by Jared…or visa versa. Either one will do as they’re both up to their eyeballs in this shit stew.

yeah those closest to dotard will be the last to go. There are some other treasonweasels that need to get rolled up first. I hedge my bets though by admitting I didn’t expect to see his personal consigliere and Ray Donovanwannabe get ensnared this early in the processes.

So bottom line, I don’t have a freaking clue what’s gonna happen and neither do I.

or something like that.

My reasoning is based on two things.
First, Mueller is going so much faster than people expected; it’s clear we don’t know the extent of the crimes he has uncovered.
The second point is that indicting Kushner, especially, may be an urgent national security issue, in order to stop ongoing criminal activity.

This sounds more like desperation than optimism. I share the feeling. Something must be done to break this criminal cartel’s hold on the republic.

Seeing how Saudi Arabian ‘policy’ (if that’s what we can call it) is likely being shaped almost exclusively by Jared, with promises to do massive arms deals, ignoring their human rights abuses, while coincidentally making enemies of Qatar that stage our armed forces, in exchange for probably bailing Jared out of from under his massive debts, there’s still a lot left to be uncovered. Foreign policy is still being shaped around the tRump and Kushner family businesses, even as we speak. Since the GOP-led Congress refuses to look into this perversion of our democracy, Mueller still has a long way to go looking into not just Russia, but the absolute corruption of all our foreign policies now being shaped around the family businesses and their primary financial interests instead of that of the country’s interests.

Sorry to be so wordy…Still early. Brain needs more coffee.

No doubt about that. Boy’s out of control.

Except that;

  1. Hillz didn’t do special favors for donors to the Clinton Foundation.

  2. The Clinton Foundation was a genuine charity, operating within the appropriate laws and regulations, unlike the Trump Foundation, which was not formulated in accordance with applicable laws and was used, among other things, for bribing state attorneys general, paying off judgments against Trump, and buying artwork for Trump properties.

[Yeah, I know you’re snarking, but there may be those who believe this crap.]

Sometime between the Kentucky Derby and Belmont.

The foundation noted that their donation to Trump’s foundation came
“when there were multiple candidates for the Republican nomination for
president and it was by no means assured that Mr. Trump would be the
Republican nominee in 2016.”

This is what’s called being an angel investor. They get extra goodies.

A bit off topic:

Need a good laugh? Check out what Tucker was reporting about last night after the Cohen raids. The scandal of fake news about… PANDAs!

This article (From NYMag.s The Cut) describes the segment - and then has a collection of hilarious tweet/responses. It gave me the best laugh (so far) of the morning.

My guess too. And, as a good Kentucky boy, so very on point.

Whoa. Putin set up Trump royally. T may go down for the DNC hack.

There is a lot of misunderstanding about this money laundering thingy. The reason all his money smells like Tide and 20 Mule Team Borax is he is almost a complete germophobe and how could he stand to fondle all those sweet blocks of cash in his walk-in safe. Now that does not include his negative 3 x 10 to the 8th percent dick, which is quite the germophile as we hear.
