I don’t think he has much of a choice. He either does it voluntarily or he gets subpoenaed to do so. Given it still appears to be word vs word at this time, there is still a small perceived benifit to appearing compliant.

It would be oh so sweet if it turned out that Russia was nothing, but through his own ineptitude he caught an obstruction charge which in turn caused him to get a perjury charge. Stop resisting! Stop resisting! You’re resisting arrest!

“The Predisent is new at this. He’s new to the truth, and so he probably wasn’t steeped in the long-running protocols that establish the relationships between reality, honesty, and accountability. He’s just new to this.”

I think he’s still humping the ‘I’m not personally under (a target of an) investigation’ line they have been transfixed with. Or at least after parsing yesterday’s testimony, wasn’t and possibly might not currently be, but the FBI couldn’t say so publicly because it was subject to change.

Neither are good things and absolutely resist, but assuming the Senate keeps their word about the AHCA being DOA as written on arrival, it still has to go through a conference committee and the amended bill has to pass both chambers. My guess would be this is a punt to get the house back at least partially on the hook…

She was probably just trying to get an endorsement from Newsweek.

It can be if intent is one of the tests. Arguably absent a smoking gun obstruction could be one of those instances, but I think there is enough circumstantial evidence currently, much less what will come out in the future, to make that a tough sell.

Gosh, if only there was some sort of process in place where before someone became elected as President they went through some sort of scrutiny in order to determine if they had the qualifications to hold the position. Something public, that way if they were clearly (so fucking clearly) incompetent people would have an…

After witnessing it on Sputnik, he became a devotee of Master Wei Yaobin. Anticipate more self inflicted dick wounds in the days to come.

Stay gold Ponyboy, stay gold.

Surrounded by his legal team as they rub their hands together in delight over how much they get to pilfer from the probably yuge retainer he had to pay (cause Donny doesn’t pay his bills) to do little more than sit there and advise ad nauseum “don’t tweet that.”

This happened yesterday.

That is one ugly baby.

At least he offered condolences first, so. . . progress? Seriously fuck this administration. 

One of the earlier campaign rallies.

‘Whatever-the-fuck-this-is talk’

You mean the secret service wasn’t okay with letting random naval traffic float within a couple hundred yards of POTUS while he was giving a speech?

It’s certainly plausible, but it just doesn’t feel right to me. He knew Flynn for a little over a year before Trump attempted to take figurative bullets for him and pussyfooted around calling him out. It doesn’t seem reasonable to me to believe that amount of loyalty could be generated in that time frame by simply…

I’m like 90% under the belief that Trump’s involvement is all a coincidental mixture of ineptitude, stubborness, and a misguided desire for Russian approval (or silence regarding financial debt and/or illegal practices), but the Flynn part is what always gets me. Flynn kinda came out of nowhere and was given a lot of…
