“We already have a smoking gun about a campaign getting dirt on their opponent, it was Hillary Clinton. How is it OK for Hillary Clinton to proactively seek dirt from the Russians but the Trump campaign met at the Russians request and that is bad?” Marc Thiessen, Washington Post

Collusion, ya know, that synonym for "criminal conspiracy," an indictable criminal offense.

the request wasn't bad; but your decision to accept their request and CONSPIRE with them to attack us by hacking into party/election computer systems IS.

Also, Hillary proactively sough dirt from the Russian government? When?

Also also, by reposting the fact that members of your campaign met with Russian agents at their request, aren't you incriminating yourself?


Also also also, is the George Costanza defense really where you want to go?

He's really coming undone. He's admitting the campaign met with the Russians after months of denying it ever happened.

I'm guessing they've had a glimpse at Mueller's evidence (discovery) through Manafort's legal team.

He knows his ass is in a sling including everyone around him. It's only going to get worse as time moves forward.

a)Junior perjured himself in his testimony to Congress. This will almost assuredly result in a recommendation for prosecution.

b)Subpoenas, folks, subpoenas. SDNY and Muellers team are not leaking this stuff, so the only way you know about them is if the person who received it lets it out. Avanatti and others have stated again and again that there are numerous subpoenas the public does not know about yet.

c)You are about to have public faces to other payoff's.

Smart move that. As good as The Cone of Silence?

If he did not know then that is dereliction of duty. He does not absorb intelligence reports.
