I know, the National Enquirer...but I found it funny and thought I'd share ~
I guess the story they're hoping the base hears is that, yes, he was surrounded, balls deep, by Russian operatives and traitors!
But he didn't know! And everybody goes under the bus...
This, more than any other reporting convinces me he's guilty as hell ~

Sometimes, however, the Nat.Enq. is inadvertently tRumps enemy, they are that stupid:

(18,745 posts)They are not publishing a word about Trump without Trump's approval.
That he had several Russian agents running his campaign is a foregone conclusion. This is the next narrative, that Trump knew nothing about any of it.
SticksnStones
(2,108 posts)That those four men behind him in the photograph are,in fact, guilty.
And that comes from Trump, you're right. So here's Donny admitting their guilt essentially.
Huge tell.
politicaljunkie41910
(3,335 posts)He covered up the fact that he had met with the Russian in his Senate office. Just maybe Trump thinks he needs Sessions in charge of the DOJ and that the two of them can ride this out. Jeff Sessions, former US Attorney just forgot to tell the Confirmation Panel that he had met with the Russian. It just slipped his mind.

(56,827 posts)the greatest! He picked these guys, so the buck should stop with him.
Personally, while I don't think Trump initiated it, I think somebody (Manafort or Page?) told him that Putin could help him out and Trump gave them the go ahead.
SticksnStones
(2,108 posts)And Manafort just taught him how to do that in politics...

To the best of my knowledge, and I get most of my news from DU, then social media and sirius 127, this is 100% TRUE!!!!!
In almost all murder mysteries and most of what little I know about Shakespere, doesn't one murder to cover the preceding murder eventually blow up? All of this is so public domain and "national bureau of factual journalism certified" that if you take the time to put this stew of internet puzzle together, this is unfolding to be the worst Constitutional Crisis in USA history.
Lots of info floating around about the real possibilities of treason, traitor, collusion with the enemy, lying under oath, not registering as a russian agent, Benedict Arnold on steroids.
Trump is so in cornered rat mode. The entire upper chain of Repub party chain of command, or succession will within months all be the subject of being raped in prison meme's. Putin's probably much better under pressure, as somebody so casual and aggressive about his still active kgb licence to kill anybody anywhere, could run a kleptocracy in one hand, and run a mafia murder inc. in the other.

(perhaps this line of reasoning is too much for trumpsters.
SticksnStones
(2,108 posts)And when it comes to cutting deals he has honed his grifter skills like an Olympic athlete.
Nobody grifts greater than ol' 45...(damn, where's my guitar...I got a song to write!)

(2,108 posts)We're way past denying Russian influence has infiltrated the WH.
He's crafting his alibi ~
wishstar
(5,267 posts)They ignored the story before as fake news and were concentrating on blaming Pres. Obama and his CIA and shadow govt for all of
Trump's problems in WH.
Then they put all the blame on Flynn as the lone spy in WH- so this is quite an interesting development since Trump has lied all along insisting that he barely knows all of these people and they didn't have much to do with his campaign!
