Jan. 6, 2017. — Methinks they didn’t tell Trump anything he didn’t already know, seeing as how he was in on it from the get go. If he was surprised by anything it was that the feds knew everything and he was still allowed to take office, so he’s traded on that ever since. Small wonder that he blithely ignores the emoluments clause and matters of egregious conflict of interest. He thinks he’s been given carte blanche to pick the government’s pockets and ours. And congressional leadership was likely apprised of the same info, so he has had built-in accomplices all along the way, to the great delight of his twisted administrative team of collaborators. This would help to explain his reliably destructive appointees, why he gutted the State department, why he and his spokespeople lie so comfortably. At best, now that he knows that WE know, maybe he might be beginning to realize that his sense of limitless impunity is little more than a pretty chimera. With luck, thoughts of the potential charges are giving him nightmares.
I hope there will be cameras to show his face when he’s told it’s all over. And I hope those same cameras record the frog march parade as they leave the White House and Congress on their way to trial and prison.

Sometimes I indulge what Dad used to call "listening to your gut." That's what this is, so please indulge me for a minute or two while I share my "gut sense".Jan. 6, 2017. — Methinks they didn’t tell Trump anything he didn’t already know, seeing as how he was in on it from the get go.

Looking forward to her show tonight. Always entertaining to watch her pull-no-punches commentary.
