I've never had less faith in our Justice Dept. They might need to rename it.

(9,244 posts)...NO OVERSIGHT of this Administration AT. ALL.
NO MATTER what constitutional violation occurred and continues to occur and no matter what ethics rules are violated and no matter what laws are broken - NOTHING will happen to these people.
IF ANYONE ELSE so blatantly violated the constitution and our gov't ethics rules and broke so many laws, they'd be in prison. Full stop. BUT NOT THEM. They are EXEMPT. Because they're white, male and Republican. And wealthy. All that gets you out of jail free for anything in the United States.

Tessio: Forgive me, Godfather, but with you gone me and Pete will come under Barzini's thumb sooner ... Clemenza: Oh, Paulie... won't see him no more. ... Sonny: Yeah, hang around. ... Santino 'Sonny' Corleone: Can we get some help here!
He's a low-hanging fruit. On the edges where you start investigating and find the loose threads on which to start pulling - as you work your way inward to where the big fish are. They're often the first ones to turn state's evidence, ask for immunity, plea bargain for a lighter sentence, do less time in prison.
Bet he eventually sings like Sinatra.

Why do people do interviews with this guy? He's bizarre, unreliable & wants his face on tv. Before he goes to jail.

Why are the networks even bothering to interview him. He obviously is not going to give a straight answer!

Because in cases like these, evading an answer is an answer all in itself, and the public needs to see that.

Page? Speaking like a caged bird that can't wait to sing....
Kushner? Reports surface that he too lied about Russian contacts on security clearance application...
Bannon? About to be run out of the White House on a rail as the fall guy and when THAT happens, the ink will flow from Breitbart as the alt-right turns on their Orange Messiah with the fury of the cuckolds they are...
Trump? I think he is spending so much time in Florida to avoid having to move more than a few carry-on bags into the White House because he knows he won't be there long.
Now, what is Pence's role in all of this? THAT son of a bitch is scarier than the shit-gibbon.

(402 posts)Of course he did. That's is the whole story behind why the Russians helped Trump get elected in the first place. The Russians NEED those sanctions lifted and Trump is their puppet. They started grooming him for that going as far back as 2003. And I am sure they have plenty of material on him that could be used for blackmail, including pee pee video. That is also the whole reason for the Syrian bombing charade. We didn't destroy one airstrip and we didn't destroy any chemical weapons. I think we took out about 20 Syrian planes. Well, good for the Russians. They can now sell 20 more planes to the Syrians, which is where the planes came from in the first place. AND it was just to make it look like Putin and Trump's relationship was deteriorating, thus Tillerson could go to Russia where the US and Russia could come to an agreement and voila..... US will now lift sanctions off of Russia as part of that agreement! This whole this is so transparent. I call bullshit!
