Predisent Donald J. Trump: Episode V: Trade Wars Strike Back: Kanye's Opioid Addiction Support Group

Is the penalty for an illegal campaign contribution borne by the campaign, the donor, or both?

It is funny that the argument is going to have to be "he pays off bitches that I cheated on my wife with all the time, just because I happened to be running for president this time doesn't mean our setup was any different"

and it's actually kind of a convincing argument. You can't say "he NEVER would have paid her off if he wasn't running for president!" because there's ample evidence of him (and also of the national enquirer for him) doing just that.

It won't hold water in court. The Chewbacca defense is all they have left.

Holy shit this Huckabee Sanders press briefing... the quotes I'm seeing are stupid.

Yes, but that smoky eye tho.

I think you're forgetting the time-tested Benghazi defense.

Feds tapped Cohen's phone, including possibly a call to the White House.

Incoming Trump ragestorm. If this doesn't set him over the edge I'll be shocked.

"JUST LIKE OBAMA TAPPING MY MICROWAVE, THE FEDS HAVE ILLEGALLY TAPPED MY PHONE. WITCH HUNT! CONSTITUTION IS DEAD!"

Is what I am expecting.

That was merely a Draw 7 investigations card in partisan Uno. It only slows you down and nothing else.

She also claimed that she personally didn't know about Trump paying Cohen back until last night.

The idea that Cohen was tapped and raided over a potential illegal campaign donation of only $130,000 is completely and utterly laughable.

If this was just an illegal contribution we would be talking some fines, media rhetoric, and undesirable interview questions. You don't raid a law office over this kind of thing.

They have something big. Or, at least, they were trying to get something big. Word's out on if they have it or not.

Given the fact Mueller wants two months to defer Flyyns sentencing on top of all these devlopements. We can assume that this is finally coming to a head.

Here comes President Pence.

Seems like the kind of thing a person of integrity would resign over.

In order to get to the Benghazi defense we need Trump to sit through a marathon of an inquiry that wastes everyone's time.

These fucking morons.

Rudy Giuliani called for Attorney General Jeff Sessions to intervene in the Michael Cohen case and put the people behind the probe “under investigation” in a phone call with The Hill on Thursday.

“I am waiting for the Attorney General to step in, in his role as defender of justice, and put these people under investigation,” Giuliani said, reacting to an NBC News report that phones belonging to Cohen, President Trump’s longtime personal attorney, had been tapped by investigators.

Rudy sure seems to want to get in on the obstruction game here.

Pruitt aide tries to plant a bad story about Zinke to take the heat off Pruitt, gets caught by the white house

i mean

wow

As Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt faces a seemingly endless stream of scandal, his team is scrambling to divert the spotlight to Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke. And the White House isn’t happy about it.

In the last week, a member of Pruitt’s press team, Michael Abboud, has been shopping negative stories about Zinke to multiple outlets, according to two sources with direct knowledge of the efforts, as well as correspondence reviewed by The Atlantic.

It shows how much personal wealth helps get you favor in the Trump admin.

He's hoping it expels the gay away.

Either that or plan B was to hit him with it.

hearing that msnbc is correcting their story now, apparently its just a log of the calls, not that they were listening in

[Quicklet]

Yeah, saw that. Nothing to see here then. Trump will still tweet about fake news NBC though.

Always good to see a goblin find a job besides just working in Gringotts. He is washed up without either of those two things.
