the news every night. I'm beginning to think Trump was duped by those he surrounded himself with over the years. Still a serious crime if those around Trump were in collusion with Putin. When did Trump know is what I'd like to know. But I'm speculating.

I think tRump knew the Russian Connection would be an issue, especially after inauguration. You have to admit, he built himself a pretty good firewall given Flynn at NSA, Sessions at Justice, Nunes at House Intell Committee and Burr in the Senate Committee. They've all pretty much gone by the wayside save Burr. But Burr has to be careful, as he represents a State that seems to be going blue. Susan Collins of Maine fucked up tRump's advantage in Senate Intel by voting with Democrats. There seems to have evolved a perception that the Senate Intel Committee needs to be more investigative and bipartisan.

Yeah, tRump's firewall has eroded quickly. Pootie's diversion with the Syrian gassings and subsequent feud with Tillerson were meant to prove that tRump is not really pootie's bitch, and provide some needed diversions. But the IC is too close.
