If the White House ordered the Intelligence community to stay out of exposing an illegal act, and

it can be proven that the orders to the intelligence community not to report that act came from Trump himself, then Trump is in real trouble.. Especially if it can be proven Trump committed the illegal act.
....But, for some reason this feels like something Trump might do. But maybe there is proof that this was ordered by someone in the White House. If Trump did indeed do what is being discussed, then it seems from the outside that the process of covering up, could be much worse than the "so called crime."
.... But this is all speculation on my part.. I know exactly what you know. Someone knows it all, and it ain't me.
.....It does look like it is all going to come out to all of us, and possibly very soon. And when it comes out for all to read about and know about, that is when it totally hits the fan.

Yes, it does come back to one person, Mr. Trump And Mr. Trump often acts without thinking, and in doing so, makes things much worse for himself. Where was he this morning? I don't know. Trump always tweets in the morning. Perhaps he was working some other problem. Yes, it does look like Trump. I agree with you.

Nobody deflects blame as brazenly as our President.

Sorry, Bill Barr. Looks like you get to be the goat this time. Trump will do to you what he did to Comey, McCabe, Bolton and all the others. He will throw you under the bus and piss on your grave.

But in throwing Mr. Barr under the bus, guess who gets closer to being thrown under the bus? It ain't the little mouse running away, but I think it is the big cat who orders everyone around. I am watching the show, not the director or the producer. Just a stage hand helping out.
