A porn star brings down these people. Fabulous.

I'm way out here in the middle of the Pacific Ocean but I swear I heard Trump screech and scream to the heavens then beat down into the carpet the nearest sycophant standing closest to him. Must've been this latest fingernail pulling that Mueller is torturing him with.

Seriously this discredits any assertions Giuliani is making that this probe will be wrapped up by September or somehow is winding down. If anything it's picking up steam

What does this guy have? Maybe another brick on-top the body of evidence that the people all around Trump are corrupt, criminal even. But Russia itself will be a fairly weak, or even distant part of the investigation. All Russia really was is an excuse to fish around and confirm what we already presumed to know about the Trump Org. The Middle East story seems most interesting with regards to foreign influence, but it'd probably be far too difficult to prove (and tie to Trump) compared to the petty criminality of Trump's people's daily operations.

With all that is known, it still begs the question whether the man himself could be fingered for anything, or just everyone around him. I suppose that's the use of hiring third parties to do the dirty work. Hillary paid a research company who hired a foreign source to use Russian material to influence the election. But it's wrong when Trump does it because.... those close to them made the arrangements rather than a more distant third party. Adorable.

When I read the headline in the news today I figured there'd be a topic. One for each person the investigation touches. Yet for all this talk there's not one mention of evidence that actually pins the President down to having committed crimes himself. None. Is there? Heck, I wish there was a solid list of names and alleged crimes for all the people around Trump. That would at least help me keep a picture of this in my head. A concept of what we actually have against them (him?), materially. Instead of all this chatter that, at surface, appears no more substantial than tabloid gossip.

I wish I knew where all this stood. Especially when it comes to criminal complaints.
