drumpf trusts him to lie and lie and lie some more and that's probably exactly what we will hear.

Gave big bucks to secure his place in the Trump orbit. He might be onboard with the basics but money doesn't buy you diehard loyalty and these guys, one-and-all, knew the deal in Ukraine was wrong. You can see the complicity in the email exchanges. IMHO, this is all about CYA strategy. As for Trump? Maybe he believes that Soudland will do a Manafort: protect the King no matter what. Although Manafort has Russian retribution to consider.

I'd like to believe that it's simply the rats jumping ship, not willing to go down with HMS Trumplandia.

We shall see!

It is very hard to understand these very stupid people.

He probably believes he can exonerate him, lol.

and his cohorts. Trump loves these qualities and delights in the gladiatorial spew, wants to draw blood, somehow.

(edited for spelling *Sondland)

Trump will get in the mix.
