So then how did that same nothing gravel company get a $400 million contract at Trump’s urging? Was it Trump’s involvement and corruption, or some cosmic-level Baby Jesus magic?

In my years as a reporter I’ve heard it so many, many times that defendants are eager to have their day in court but then plead guilty, that when I hear that line I wanna stand up and say, "This guy is so guilty, your honor, the Devil himself would blush "

Seven indicted Trump criminally inclined best people is a pattern…
Hard to “Who That”, “Don’t know him” or “Coffee Boy” at this point!

Meanwhile…Bannon’s just deserts

I’d take even-or-better odds that Wolf will wind up in jail. Bannon for sure. Miller maybe. Lots of others.

A naive woman I work with explained to me why all his friends are criminals- He makes poor decisions when it comes to associates.

I explained to her he made the choices he did KNOWING they were criminals.

Well, we are up to the denial stage coupled with mild gibbering. Next up, monosyllabic statements that sound like “ub ub ub ub ub ub”. to any given question. This may be followed by sudden sabbaticals, time with family, silence and utter obscurity.

[Sounds like Bannon is toast actually]

Neither view point is good. His leadership skills are supposed to include identifying and retaining actual talent and expertise.
