As aptly dubbed by his own Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson.

Old thread:

And as I love giving you images to haunt your dreams, here’s another one, blasphemously titled ‘Our Lord and Saviour’.

Was not sure if OP in other thread was a journalist or just sounding a bit like one.

From your link, lionheart:

"Mr Stone, a long-time Trump confidant and former member of Richard Nixon’s administration" calls for journalists critical of the President to be fired.

Mm-hmm.

Note the absurd horror of there being SO MANY shady conspirators within Trump's camp that we can't predict with confidence who was charged

This has been posted before but it may offer a useful fresher course in who leaked what and why:

Not such a treat.

“Well, you have no weight problems. That’s the good news, right?” the president told children.

“I cannot believe the media produced such beautiful children,” Trump said, according to a pool report of the event. “How the media did this, I don’t know.”

Thanks for the link to the Wittes piece, lion. I’ll confess that I found I had to work at it rather than it being a freshers’ course - but it’s always good to have your brain stretched a little. Wink

Trump legal team scrambles to prepare for new stage of Russia probe

The president’s lawyers and political aides are bracing for the first charges just five months into the investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Meh, the other thread is the usual Trump good, Hillary bad crap vs Trump bad, Hillary good crap. No one is going to change anyone's mind and there's no good or useful info on it.

'Our' threads on the other hand are brilliant, useful sources of factual information. And I'll end this with the usual statements of; FACT!! and END OF!! to prove it.

The op on that other thread has turned up on the Westminstenders thread before. They are a general all purpose pro-stupid bridge dweller.

For some reason, Pain's J.J. Patrick @J_amesp link was blank for me, (I'm not on a mobile).

No Russian ties, or the Blair Trump Project, or I Know What You Did Last Campaign, or Muellerman.

I recognised the NN. I think I may have seen them on some of the trans threads.

Should we signpost this thread on there or keep our bunker lightly peopled so the canned beans and iodine tablets see us through the post-nuke fallout period?

I seem to recall Across’s surmising that any early indictments would likely be low level. She has a point - and I guess we’ll find out next week. Smile

cozietoesie · 28/10/2017 21:57

In other words, I wouldn’t be in the least surprised to learn that someone I’d never heard of was hoicked away sometime soon.

TheNorthWestPawsage · 28/10/2017 22:31

It may be the Wine but after watching The MeullerMan - I keep thinking of a horror character who's a cross between the Man from Del Monte and Muller yoghurt!

So if Manafort isn't bluffing - then my money's on Flynn. (Even though in my dreams its Jared)

But as others have said, it will probably be some low level sap we've never heard of.
