Uncertainty is inherently unsustainable. Eventually, everything either is or isn't.

So if Obama's administration had been accused of like half of the things going on in the current one, how far into it before they started 25ing him

If even 1/4 of the evidence for poo poo that's come out of Trump's administration had been under Obama we would have had our first president to actually wind up in prison.

Democrats actually have some morals and would have definitely caved under the intense pressure of this increasingly insane level of criminal bullshit.

Remember that meeting between Erik Prince and the Russians on the Seychelles in order to set up a secret back channel for Team Trump? That was alleged to have taken place exactly one month after J-Kush asked for exactly that, which would mean that they granted his request.

it owns that this administration is so bonkers that trump's lawyers saying not violating the constitution is too much work due to the intricacies of his business and also changed their argument from "he's not violating the emoluments clause" to "actually the emoluments clause doesn't apply to the president" ranks like 12th or 13th on crazy poo poo that came out this week.

It's not just that, the dude is extremely sexist and unpleasant.

He's basically a 4channer who happened to become a billionaire. It's no surprise no women want anything to do with him even with all his money.

He must be even worse than that in person if he can't hook a desperate failed actress in Hollywood with his billion dollars. He must give off some real murder vibes.

Technically they did nothing wrong.

You need to find the quid pro quo, the money moving or the cover up.

Strictly speaking there is nothing wrong with an adviser to the president looking for a new channel of communications with Russia.

They don't have to do anything. All they have is slam dunk perjury. Jared will claim ignorance and it will go away. Nothing will happen until the investigation finds Russian money involved. There is always a paper trail. These bombshells are very useful because they keep the investigation fire going.

Agreed, however, we know that Erik Prince went to Seychelles to do pretty much exactly what Kushner requested in the news that broke today, which I assume means it's probably pretty loving real. Considering THAT news broke back in April, I think it's safe to assume the IC had their ears on it the entire time.

Boy I can't wait to hear what was picked up in those recordings.
