“(The RNC) has not been contacted regarding any of the ongoing investigations, and there is no specific reason to believe we will be."
Translation: “it is extremely difficult to delete a document so completely the FBI can’t find it, so don’t make it worse.”
"…Serious consequences will result for anyone who fails to comply with this obligation.”
To which Trump replies, do it and I’ll pardon you all in a tweet.
Posted to the meta section- but what is it with the comments being on-again/off-again? Articles are posted and it can be minutes to hours before comments are on. Very frustrating…
I’m gonna go buy some stock in companies that sell paper shredders. BRB.
Trump is the anti-Midas. Everything he touches turns to a heaping pile of dung.
Wait, but the coverup must continue.
I also think that Rancid was smart enough to compartmentalize operations to largely protect the RNC with a large blind spot for run-of-the-mill stuff… the key question is how well those barriers worked with the chaotic way the Orange One worked…
Somebody is worried.
-
Obviously the RNC legal staff has realized that what is going is pure SNAFU.
-
In the future, they will be stealing SNAFU and modifying it to SNALU. Situation Normal, All Lawyered Up.
“(The RNC) has not been contacted regarding any of the ongoing investigations, and there is no specific reason to believe we will be. Nonetheless, we have an obligation to keep potentially relevant documents,” the memo read.
Relevant, as in possible laundered Russian money? Priebus, McConnell, Ryan and Donald knew about it? – You don’t say.
(The above is just a hunch from BeattyCat.)
Considering the malignant narcissist, this is pretty much in the program. One thing I have noticed they do is create situations for everyone else that hit a terminal velocity. He has been stringing things along with image and momentum carrying him past hurdles, but it is wearing thin. With some of his tweets, it looks like he is disassociating himself from the mess he has created. Now he is tossing things out like chaff from a fighter jet. (why should Congress not be paying what public pays?) I have been wrong so many times before, but it looks like this is end stage. Waiting for him to dodge in another direction and try to make himself a hero while doing so. Would not be surprised if he suddenly becomes a champion of Healthcare because, you know the Republicans screwed it all up.
Robert Mueller staff subpoena or FBI coming soon to an RNC office near you. As if just the temperature in August isn’t enough to make you sweat.
Too bad for him someone replaced all deadly liquids in the house with apple juice
Firing up the Arthur Andersen-brand shredders right now!
Funny how that argument held no validity in BUT HER E-MAILS last year…
@mike_in_houston, my frustration with this site grows with every incident of comment-shut-down. I honestly never see this anywhere else.
Speaking of Russia and scandals, where is Don Jr.? He is very very quiet these days. Perhaps heeding the advice of the expensive lawyer? His twitter activity is mostly retweets.
Yes, I can access via phone but not laptop for now.
I am on my laptop & don’t seem to have a problem.
Me too now (on my laptop), but I had been trying for over 3 hours. I just can’t seem to quit you TPM.
