    The fact that Rudy Giuliani went on Fox News and claimed that collusion is not a crime tells me that this whole thing is going to come to a head in the near future. I hope so, at least.

      We may be reaching a crossroads. The next few weeks may be interesting (in the Chinese curse sense)

    If Consciousness of Guilt had a smell, he would reek of it.

    This "Rigged Witch Hunt" keeps finding Witches, several of which having flipped and given guilty pleas, and the President's Campaign Manager Paul Manafort is facing something like 300 years of charges.

    "I would have quickly picked someone else. So much time and money wasted, so many lives ruined...and Sessions knew better than most that there was No Collusion," the president wrote.

    This always gets my goat. The Trump Tower emails — released by Donald Trump Jr. himself — are conclusive proof that the Trump Campaign knowingly condoned and aided Russian efforts to interfere in the 2016 election.

    Since Sessions has recused himself from the Mueller investigation, wouldn't his only course of action to "stop" Mueller be some sort of Saturday Night Massacre where Sessions fires Rosenstein, appoints someone else, and has them fire Mueller?

      Nunes recused himself, but that hasn't stopped him. Legal consequences only exist when someone is willing to inflict them, and the current government has shown itself more than willing to give their own team a pass.

      Sessions could un-recuse himself with absolutely no penalties, the question is would he be willing to do so. If not, then a Saturday Night Massacre is Trump's only recourse.
