As far as Nunes can tell, none of us have even met with Trump

Devin Nunes Gets A Pretty Basic Fact Wrong In Defending His Memo
Nunes suggested that Donald Trump had never met with George Papadopoulos. There's a photo of them sitting at the same table.

And we certainly didn't have a national security meeting right here:

Clever Mueller.

Hopefully this is just the first step in a long line of deals and cooperation. I am worried about the 'no Americans' bit but it's early days and I haven't really parsed the articles.

We're off for a little hike to Mirror Lake. What wonders will await my return to this thread?

A broad brush.

This is what we are fighting for.

... "unwitting and others" is a lovely phrase.

Beautiful Across!
I can't remember who regularly posts it - but I hope you're humming Woody Guthrie's anthem as you go!

Ooh.

Wow that is majestic Across!

Ooo Mueller is making progress.

Also, off topic but baby Natsku made his first press appearance today www.kmvlehti.fi/elamanmeno/natashan-jattipotti-mr-justice-syntyi-samana-paivana-kun-lauri-love-vapautui-luovutuspaatoksesta-200749469/

What an absolute sweetheart!

What a solemn little chap. Great stuff, Natsku.

Ah, gorgeous!

He was half asleep and not too impressed about being woken up for picture taking!

Gorgeous baby!

Just catching up on a couple of days' worth of posts so a bit late to comment on:

The facility was originally supposed to be built in a tiny British village

Portmeirion?

and

Marjory Stoneman Douglas: If she were standing for President today her motto would be "Do not drain the swamp!"

Ooohh. A baby. Lovely.

The browser translation is very funny, though.

Interesting Friday, just when Homeland season 7 starts here.

I have heard such powerful words from those who have been devastated by gun violence

It's like so many things - until you've been there, it's hard to understand... except wait -
this is guns killing children How is this still a thing?

I'm fairly bleak about the entire debate though and am forever grateful I am not raising my DC in a country where gun ownership is rife & uncontrolled

Nothing will change... Absolutely nothing

I don’t know if it’s the eternal Pollyanna in me sanfran but it feels different this time (though that counts for nothing, I know). I hope that like the backlash against sexism, and corruption and trump (fingers crossed), there’ll be real impetus to actually address this and change it. Although even writing that down has tempered the hope somewhat

Interesting. There are references to “defendants and their co-conspirators” in the discussion of the financial operations. The co-conspirators are not further identified here.

I think that you're wrong, SanFran. I hope so, anyway. It will just take a bit longer than many would like.

Dear Goodness, Pain. You got to Page 33?

Sorry. I see it wasn't necessarily you.

Yep, cos mueller has packed up and gone home now. Obvs there’ll be nothing else coming out in the wash

NEW: John Dowd, POTUS' personal lawyer, tells me he is "very happy" about the indictments.

"They got these bastards who tried to hurt the country"

As I said.

Can’t read it on my tiny phone cozie. Am waiting for the dc to drop off and then I’ll attack it on a bigger screen!
