We’re all going on a WITCH HUNT! We’re not scared ...we persist. (Trump cont.)

[TheClaws]

In response to one of Trump’s incoherent WITCH HUNT! tweets in the last 12 hours, Rep. Adam Schiff sent this:

Given all the secret meetings with the Russians, the denials, the false statements, and the guilty pleas, your attacks on the Republican, respected, decorated, Vietnam Veteran running the investigation could not be more false, or transparent.

Stone's position becomes interesting.

They're running out of deck.

What remark did Mr Wise make? 'Kleptocracy on steroids' was it?

These are old, but still relevant, I think, in the light Stone's comment on Uriah Pence's not so 'umble ambition.

'Roger Stone tells @chucktodd that he's prepared for Mueller to indict him and confirms that he has not had any contact with the Special Counsel's Office.'

Pence is hungry.

I have trouble getting past the 'Mother' part.

It is just so Norman Bates.

It's Oedipal, is what it is. He is a sick puppy.

If I were Melania, I wouldn't allow her anywhere near the WH, before being frisked for tape measures.

I agree, I'm afraid.

'On Sunday morning, President Donald Trump tweeted. And tweeted. And tweeted.

Between 9:04 am and 9:37 am, Trump sent 5 tweets -- all around the same basic theme: He is being unfairly persecuted by special counsel Robert Mueller even as Mueller and the broader FBI overlook crimes by Democrats.
The tweets are riddled with misinformation and, in some cases, outright falsehoods. Taken together, Trump said 11 things that aren't true.'

Still going.

'I hereby demand, and will do so officially tomorrow, that the Department of Justice look into whether or not the FBI/DOJ infiltrated or surveilled the Trump Campaign for Political Purposes - and if any such demands or requests were made by people within the Obama Administration!'

Have you seen SNL this week?

Conspirators' breakfast cold open:

Morning Joe with Natalia Veselnitskaya (once you get past the peek a boob game). "We give the rectangle with the money, what is is called? Bribe."

The Weekend Update on THAT anniversary:

And, of course, the Trump Boys.

On a side note, Woody Harrelson went to college with Father and then they went their quite separate ways.

Trevor Noah thinks people underestimate Trump's focus:

Yes, I've been on a YouTube marathon today.

I would have expected all of that.

More Giuliani shade:

Mueller Plans to Wrap Up Obstruction Inquiry Into Trump by Sept. 1, Giuliani Saysnyti.ms/2k9AYyZ

'The special counsel plans to finish by Sept. 1 its investigation into whether President Trump obstructed the Russia inquiry, according to the president’s lawyer Rudolph W. Giuliani, who said on Sunday that waiting any longer would risk improperly influencing voters in the midterm elections in November.

The office of the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, shared its timeline about two weeks ago amid negotiations over whether Mr. Trump will be questioned by investigators, Mr. Giuliani said in an interview. A spokesman for the special counsel’s office declined to comment.

Mr. Giuliani sought to frame the outcome of the obstruction investigation as pitting the credibility of one man against another: Mr. Trump vs. Mr. Comey. The president asked Mr. Comey in the early days of the administration to end the investigation into his first national security adviser, Michael T. Flynn, according to contemporaneous memos and congressional testimony by Mr. Comey. The president’s request is one of the main episodes Mr. Mueller is examining to determine whether Mr. Trump had criminal intent to obstruct the Russia investigation."

...

“We want the concentration of this to be on Comey versus the president’s credibility, and I think we win that and people get that,” Mr. Giuliani said, adding that he also hoped that the Justice Department would open a criminal investigation into Mr. Comey for perjury and for his role in the sharing of information cited in New York Times reports last year about his encounters with the president that prompted Mr. Mueller’s appointment.

I'll just wait and see, I think. (I don't take Giuliani's understanding of anything as gospel.)

The 'understanding' which he articulates, anyway.

I’ve come to like Giuliani’s sheer gumption. I think he just makes things up. In that way, he and Trump are a great match, as long as their lies tally.

Oh he uses some good words. (I reckon that how he strings them together leaves much to be desired, though. )

Particularly after his latest incoherent Twitter rantings, I wouldn’t want this person negotiating with KJU re: peace on the Korean Peninsula and averting war. “You’re fired!” I say.
