LOL-WH staffers-never thought Trump had Russian business ties until Michael Cohen's plea deal today

BREAKING: A Republican lobbyist told @TheDemCoalition that White House staffers are “in shock,” saying they weren’t aware Mueller or the FBI could indict witnesses who lied to Congress. Many also never thought Trump had Russian business ties until Michael Cohen’s plea deal today.

The most important qualification for staff members in the Trump WH is the capacity to believe trumps unlimited bullshit.

My spreadsheet that has all my usernames and passwords is entitled "Penske". It's double password protected. I'm a fan. And no, one of the passwords isn't "Bosco".

and lie for trump on the way to deposit their paychecks in the bank, same with Kelly.

Most of the rest probably are that stupid. Even Bolton, the warmonger, who proved yesterday how stupid he was by thinking his, "I don't speak Arabic" remark about the Khashoggi audiotape would go over with the media, the internet and twitterverse.

I’m convinced that Trump’s been working with the Russians for years laundering money.

Today’s raid on Duetsche Bank is one more event in Don the Con’s terrible horrible very bad no good day. It may well be related to the other events.
