Mueller got briefed on the Comey memos.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/22/politics/mueller-comey-russia-investigation/index.html

Donnie is close to naming a legal team, and of all people, he wants to bring in Corey Lewandowski and David Bossie, campaign people, to run a crisis shop.

http://www.politico.com/story/2017/05/22/trump-crisis-bossie-lewandowski-238689

Comey postponed Wednesday testimony to Chaffetz's House Oversight Committee because he wants to talk to Mueller first. No change to the big one, Senate Intel, likely next week or in two weeks.

Every single thing Donnie has done regarding the Russia poo poo can be explained with equal credibility to these two motives:

1) Donald Trump did poo poo with the Russians during the election.

2) Donald Trump is a monumental political idiot that wants everything to go away because it's hurting him, which accelerates it, which makes him want it to go away even more because it's hurting him. Never did anything with Russia, just a massive moron.


Republicans believe it's #2. Until you push them solidly into #1, or present another option (#3 Donnie wants Republicans to lose Congress), you're stuck with every weekday being my Christmas.

The local hospital is turning away non-critical patients to free up space for casualties from the explosion, they're expecting mass casualties. Police are reporting it as an explosion.

Meanwhile, the bomb squad just rolled up.


Edit: unrelated, but still a current event:

I had no idea who that woman was a few years ago. The only reason I knew she existed was because her brother was on Big Brother in 2012 or '13.

Still no idea who she is. I'm guessing teenage dickbeating material, like Britney Spears when I was a teenager.

Fun fact. A presidential pardon removes all 5th amendment protections. If you are pardoned you cannot incriminate yourself therefore you must testify regarding the topic you are pardoned on or it's off to jail with you not on the pardoned charge but for not testifying. None of this "refusing a congressional subpoena ok now what do we do?" stuff. Off to jail on that charge alone. So if Donnie Dumbfuck starts slinging pardons either the testimony comes out or he goes full auto, machine gunning pardon after pardon at people to keep them out of jail for not testifying.

It is of course one of the dumbest things he could do, so say it's 50/50.
