Trump/Russia 2016 election investigation (continued, now with Ukraine!)

So some Republicans get the credit for voting to advance it, then they kill it anyway. Typical.

It’s a long-standing tradition in Utah to send only the biggest hypocritical sacks of shit to Washington. Romney has very large shoes to fill, as our delegation so longer has turds like Orrin “Term Limits” Hatch and Jason “Big Benghazi” Chaffetz in its ranks.

Nothing new to us, but this is going to reach a lot of folks.

While Trump is not an “agent” of the Russian Federation (too many people use this kind of language without knowing what it means to counterintelligence officials), it seems at this point beyond argument that the president personally fears Russian President Vladimir Putin for reasons that can only suggest the existence of compromising information.
[…]
Finally, it is exhausting but nonetheless necessary to point out again the titanic hypocrisy of the Republican Party and of Trump’s apologists in the conservative media. If President Barack Obama had shredded his notes of a meeting with the Iranian president, or if Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager were sitting in jail for lying about meeting a Chinese business associate — and alleged intelligence officer — to share polling data, that alone would have been enough for the GOP to impeach everyone from the president to the White House chef.

Keeps 'em out of Utah, I guess!

lol, Giulliani on CNN just now:
“I never said there was no collusion between Trump’s campaign!”

He is absolutely fucking everything in this interview with Cuomo right now.

It is NUTS.

i.e., Rudy knows what a shitshow the Mueller report is going to be for individual 1…

Somebody needs to make purple lightning come out of his finger

This was published earlier today, and now appears on target.

Rudy is 74. He could plead health issues and retire. But he probably loves the attention too much to leave it.

What job though? Does Rudy actually do anything for Trump when he isn’t on T.V.? Serious question, because I just assumed he didn’t.

He better stop his messing around and started thinking about his his future. Ah, Rudy.

Before this, probably speaking engagements where he talked about 9/11 or the like.

After this? He’ll be hanging with Bannon trying to fill a broom closet.

Think about how damaged of a person you have to be to be Rudy right now.

You have way the fuck more than enough money to retire peacefully to the lake cabin of your choice, fishing away the days with your lady friend and a gaggle of grandkids hanging out for the odd weekend here and there.

But instead, you are prostrating yourself 24/7 to the beast. Carrying water for a man you know, deep down, is a perversion of any principle you once thought you stood for. You rage and babble, insisting that the all-consuming horror of his ego and the needs of the masters he unwittingly serves are none of those things but just an expression of an America that never existed but that you built your entire sham career demanding that the useful morons whose votes you rode into power admit was the True America casting shadows on this cold cave wall instead of a paranoid fantasy built by a cadre of brand managers and image consultants to weaponize ignorance and desperation in service to an insatiable rentier class that sees your blood as no more than the fuel for the machine that every other pleb bleeds.

Imagine that, and rejoice that you are not Rudy Giuliani.

bum ba-da ba-da baahhh

All great points. Also, keep in mind before this is done Donny will take a giant crap on Rudy’s face, and Rudy will depart public life completely disgraced. Hope it was all worth it, Rudy.
