But a damn president who wants to help you is a hugely advantageous thing to have, whatever you want to term it.
Damned worth repeating too. That is essential truth. And I don’t see that he will have any way to get around it. He’s complicit even if the arrangement isn’t contractual. He doesn’t understand that.
Brain damage? Or else he is culpable on some level, perhaps he’s on a dirty payroll of somekind. They have no ideology, I’m betting it is monetary gain, perhaps RUSSKI-repug party/ election contributions.
Or like many small men before him, he just loves the feel of naked power.
In the past, I have commented that they play with words, hanging on to specific meanings as if they believe that is all they need to avoid being held responsible for their actions. It is childish.
It was unbelievable that last night, even on the friendly confines of Fox News, he couldn’t say no, he’s not a Russian agent when asked directly. Just unbelievable.
I’m not sure that would work. I think I remember reading something about this a while ago, that professional interpreters will never respond from memory. They rely completely on the notes they take, if something comes up later on. It’s the reason they take notes at all. If Trump took the notes and destroyed them, the interpreter might invoke the 5th to avoid misrepresenting what happened to Congress.
