Can anybody tell me why Manafort's attorneys are not being charged with obstruction of justice?

Smuggling a clandestine device into jail to hide Manafort's communications seems pretty god-damned wrong to me. Why aren't these clowns in "VIP" prison too?

This is from Mark Twian's Huckberry Finn;



One of the men asked, “Is that raft yours?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Are there any men on it?”
“Only one, sir.”

“Five black slaves ran away tonight from a man who lives further
up the river. Is your man white or black?”

I tried to answer, but the words would not come. I knew what I
had planned to say, but I was weakening.

“He’s white.”

My wife just lost her job at a sub-contractor for Subaru

She is really good at her job. She saves stupid people money. She should have been the last person to be let go. But, their just going to shutter the place. Of course, we have a back up plan. Not our first choice. We are going to home to to Ireland. Our daughter can't even remember the place. 10 years of the American experience has proven to be too much to endure. At least we won't starve. And I won't have to look over my shoulder when I say, "Fuck Trump and the horse he rode in on."

Just putting this out there.

Presently, the population of the United States is about 328 million people.

Some states are big like California with about 40 million people.

Other states are small like Wyoming which has just about 600 thousand people.

Both of these states have two U.S. Senators.

Let's do some simple math.

Two Republican Senators in Wyoming speak for about 600 thousand people.

So, that's 2 sharing 600,000 of the U.S. people's intent.

While, two Democratic Senators in California speak for about 40 million people.

So, that's 2 sharing 40 million U.S. people's intent.

Simply stated, and without any bias, 2/600,000 and 2/40,000,000 is how it stands.

Perhaps, it is time to abolish the Senate.

So, with every breath you take you probably feel pretty much OK. Right?

While somewhere in the country little kids are suffering by our collective hand.

I have been on the phone all morning. I have not heard one word from any staffer that makes any sense. My tone has been measured and respectful. They just don't know what to say. Because none of their answers can be right.

So why, if we have these motherfuckers in a corner, does the media want to move on to more pertinent topics like, the ever so sexy, Scott Pruitt?

I guess it must sell soap. But, in the meantime some little kid, perhaps an infant, will die in our custody.

If you are not on the phone, or even talking to yourself, you might be part of the problem. Tick, tick, tick....

Mylar blankets, concrete floors. What could go wrong? Fuck. Just fucking, fuck.

Make a strong cup of coffee and listen to this. You might even smile.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders says she's more trusted than the media. Hmmm, right.

I think I need to take a powder.

In today's Washington Post, "Sanders lies because that is what this White House does."

//excerpt//

It was just a few weeks ago that the White House press corps raked White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders over the coals for her previous assurance that President Trump knew nothing about a payment made to adult-film actress Stormy Daniels. Thanks to TV lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani and the rest of Trump’s team, that assertion was subsequently shown to be categorically false. Sanders was hard-pressed to explain why she’d conveyed false information. “We give the very best information that we have at the time,” she weakly offered. Well, in the recent words of Giuliani, Trump’s recollection of events keeps changing, as do his answers to Sanders. It’s Sanders’s burden to clean up the mess.
