Another day, another brewing Trump scandal.

     If you read me on a regular basis, then you’re already familiar with one of my favorite aphorisms, “You lay down with wolves, you get up with teeth marks”. Many of you have provided witty tweaks to that in the comments, and I love it. But this is the fun of immersing yourself into Trumptopia as I do, the man has so associated with so many mangy quadrupeds that you never know which one is going to nibble on his ass next.

     You all know that I was born, raised and lived most of my adult life in Chicago, a political cesspool. But even I have never seen such an inept, “Gang that couldn’t shoot straight” bunch of political morons as the Trump Clan. They go through scandals the way His Lowness goes through Tic-Tacs. Part of it is the fact that they’re political neophytes, but it’s mostly because they’re too stupid to learn to “get in front” of an impending scandal, to lay down the paper towels before the glass tips over. And if what I’m going to tell you now happens, it’s going to be a scandal that Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O’Donnell can feast on for months.

     Anybody remember good old Corey Lewandowski? Yeah, the third rate political wanna be who was magically hired to run Trump’s campaign in the early days, I think maybe because he worked cheap. He got canned in a pissing contest with Paul Manafort, who wanted to normalize the campaign. Corey got something important out of his time with Hair Furor’s campaign, he got contacts. And now, he’s ready to cash in and go from being a third rate political hack to a second rate political pain in the ass.

     Not too long ago Lewandowski teamed up with Barry Bennett, a longtime GOP bottom feeder with good knowledge of the ins and outs, to form a political strategy and lobbying group. But thanks to a new ARTICLE on Politico, we now know that this is a lobbying group with an inside edge. Lewandowski is pitching access directly to Trump and other administration officials;

A document provided to an Eastern European politician by an international consulting firm that Lewandowski co-founded this year promises to arrange “meetings with well-established figures,” including Trump, Pence, “key members of the U.S. Administration” and outside Trump allies.

Trump did say he was in this for the money. Giving credence to the moniker,The Trump Crime Family.
