I vaguely knew that Gavin’s ex wife was someone notable, but I don’t think I’d ever actually made this connection. Having a Fox News host as an ex is going to be annoying when he starts getting into Presidential politics next decade.

It just seems rather absurd to me that if what you’re saying is true, it hasn’t been established yet. The Treasury Department is opening an investigation into it now:

You still holding this hill or have recent headlines changed your position at all?

I want W., Obama, and Clinton to invite Trump to a Presidential Golf foursome. If the only people there are Presidents, you don’t need the secret service to be following them around that closely do you? Just block off the course and let those 4 enter alone.

As a half serious attempt to answer 1, I think all of the people who tried to check Trump’s impulses during the transition and the first 100 days are gone now. If Michael Woolf’s book is at all true on this point, Trump really wanted Giuliani to be his AG but it was the people around him who put a stop to it. Who is

As a lawyer who used to have to regularly sobpoena bank records in estate disputes, and routinely get rejected by small agricultural banks that are so small they don’t even fall under CFPB jurisdiction, I have a really hard time believing that someone just handed this over to Avenatti over a subpoena duces (edited

But that’s not how he got them. He admitted in his Lawrence O’Donnell interview last night that they haven’t gotten to discovery yet. He acquired these outside the lawsuit.

My only concern is who pays the $130,000 after Trump pulls out since Cohen sidelined.

My only question is with Michael Cohen in trouble, who is going to pay the $130,000 after Trump pulls out of Iran?

“If you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you and that child will be separated from you as required by law. If you don’t like that, then don’t smuggle children over our border,” Sessions said in a speech in San Diego on Monday.

I completely agree. In fact, I think I probably liked some of those other comments, I know I’ve liked some of yours somewhere lately because I recognized your name in the notification.

When I posted this, I was perplexed that everyone was slamming Rudy but none of the stories or comments here, at the time, were

“Yep kids, and here, using the technology of 2050, you can all pull up the complete social media history of your grandparents and see which of them spinelessly defended him!”

I’m starting to wonder if Giuliani’s strategy isn’t to try and destroy the case against Michael Cohen to get the charges dropped against him and keep him from flipping. It seems like their new strategy is to try and present this as a completely above board attorney/client relationship to negotiate a settlement with a

Shhh.. It’s 2018. Put that nuance away and let them paint us with a broad brush. That’s how this works now.

Honestly though, at a very basic level, some people just can’t comprehend that there are other people out there who are not solely motivated by their own self interest or financial concerns. These sort of

Everyone is taking the position that Giuliani fucked up, because this strategy looks absurd to any normal person. Trump’s tweets this morning (assuming he hasn’t wrested control away from whoever sent out those fairly well composed Stormy tweets this morning and tweeted something completely different since then)

C’mon, with as many scandals, and as many carnival side show members of this team, cabinet, and administration, this will clearly have to be a multi-part 12 hour Peter Jackson work.

Plus, we know Jackson will find the right people to do Trump’s make up

Agreed. I desperately hope this means that before noon we have a series of completely contradictory tweets from “normal” Trump

I’m not sure what’s in his self tanner, but I’m positive I don’t want to eat any smores cooked over the fumes of his corpse.
