Where will the charges against Manafort lead? Whose shredders are overheating today? And most importantly, when will the Tweetstorm-from-the-loo start?

Anyone seen this? It's about Indictement A, which could be Sessions, Pence...or Trump!

So that Fox News item says Manafort must've been forced by Russia to work for Trump's campaign, this sounds rather ridiculous

For the nth time, I am NOT Trump's foreign policy adviser! I have NO association with the Trump camp! NONE!

Checking back in from my self-imposed Trump hiatus. Whatever this does to my blood pressure: still too good to miss!

Office debate today about what the Tweets indicate. My boss argues 'naked panic', I tend towards 'too dumb to panic - simply too thin skinned to take any croticism without lashing out'.

Loving this tweet!

its emphasising that Manafort is not Trump.

Does it have a spot the difference just so we can be really sure? Grin

This is a lovely thread by the way. I enjoyed the title very much.

If I were Trump I would pardon them immediately and any other victim of corrupt Mueller- he’s clearly on a witch hunt #sackhim

Of course it's ridiculous - then again, in any sane person with a working self-preservation instinct: arguably one of the few valid arguments in favour of working for the Trump campaign.

Then again: 'sane' seems a bit of a stretch for all of them.

She is trying to explain tax reform by using an analogy about a bunch of reporters drinking in a bar. Hmm

lionheart · 30/10/2017 17:37

Snidey dig at reporters and their 'concern for fairness.'

lionheart · 30/10/2017 17:37

WTF?

Really SHS? Tax cuts?

You have to have seen it to believe it.

lionheart · 30/10/2017 17:41

It was rather like one of those GCSE questions that you read four times before thumping your head on the table in the exam hall.

lionheart · 30/10/2017 17:42

'Do you still believe Mr Mueller is in the process of wrapping up this investigation?'
