JOHN DEAN: "Trump's kids: Eric, Ivanka & Don Jr.... may be in for sphincter-tightening experiences."

@JohnWDean

Speaking of Weisselberg I think he invoked the 5th and prosecutors immunized him not to nail Cohen or Trump, but Trump’s kids: Eric, Ivanka and Don Jr., who may be in for sphincter-tightening experiences.

Axelrod: "It is impossible to ignore the stench that is emanating from the White House"


David Axelrod: “That said, it is impossible to ignore the stench that is emanating from the White House and from Washington, and this week was a really alarming week. And the President himself has been so revealing, because his reactions to all of these stories, calling Paul Manafort, who was convicted of bank fraud and tax evasion, a brave man, suggesting that everyone does what he does. All the lobbyists from Washington do what he did. Same thing with Michael Cohen and the notion that everybody does what we do. Well, everybody doesn’t pay hush money to women to stay silent before an election because they think it might impair their chances and then hide the source of the money and lie about it. That’s not what people generally do. But it speaks to the president’s philosophy which is, you do whatever you have to, take whatever you can, whenever you can, however you can. Rules, laws and norms don’t matter.

Trumpista Hypocrisy

When they go low.....


@yashar
This headline/photo by @FoxNews is reprehensible. @ACampaNajjar has worked for Pres Obama, the Commerce and Labor departments. If they criticized his politics, I’d understand. But to blame him for his dead grandfathers actions (17 years before Ammar was even born) is disgusting.
