'A Liar should have a good Memory,' Trump thread cont.

Quotation from Quintillian, I believe (unless someone was fibbing about that too).

Old thread here:

'The gap between the hype and reality of the proposed new branch of the military makes the project almost entirely an exercise in misleading branding.'

It will be interesting to see what arguments can be mustered against the basic thrust of the proposal.

Sorry. That was in response to the bipartisan NY proposal.

The former "Manhattan Madam" and political protege of President Donald Trump's informal advisor Roger Stone is set to testify Friday before a grand jury in special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia probe.

The ex-madam, Kristin Davis, who said she supplied prostitutes to then-New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, was subpoenaed by Mueller last month as part of his probe into Russian meddling in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Davis, 41, met last week with members of Mueller's team.

Testifying 'voluntarily'.

I'm starting (for my own sanity) to get laser focussed on November. I hate to put all my eggs in one basket (Come on Blue Wave) but all the shit going on now is giving me real anxiety. I have to focus on the cure, not the disease.

Of course, I'm still watching Maddow and listening to the reports. It's just that my response to all the craziness is "Blue wave, blue wave, blue wave" muttered over and over like a talisman.

'The Donald Trump Super PAC Machine Has Sean Spicer, Kimberly Guilfoyle, And A Vague Plan For The Midterms'

'It is a lifestyle PAC to help enrich a bunch of a consultants,” said one Republican strategist, who requested anonymity to speak candidly. “It is a PAC to throw parties, to drink, and to raise a lot of money. Every month you read about a new consultant — Sean Spicer, Don Jr.’s girlfriend. Everyone’s on payroll.” '

I'm not surprised that everyone's on payroll. And they're going to need one heck of a lot of money, given expenditure needed so far.

I hear you, Across, By The Way.

Yes Across I'm in similar place. The current Brexit and Trump fuckery Is making me very jittery.

Some people do not 'volunteer' at all, cozie.

BREAKING: A federal judge holds Roger Stone aide, Andrew Miller, in contempt for refusing to testify before a grand jury in the Special Counsel's Russia investigation.

It seems they want this to go to an Appeal so they can call Mueller's scope into question (this much I have got from tweeting lawyer people).

It nonetheless fascinates me when people think that they're going to fare so much better under questioning if they appear 'voluntarily'.

I find the attempts by the Trump lawyers to dictate the terms of his dealings with the investigators most perplexing.

NEW: Miller wanted "some" immunity on questions regarding PACs and Stone. His subpoena also seeks info on Guccifer 2.0, DCLeaks, Wikileaks, and Assange. (Miller's lawyer says he doesn't have info about those).
