Major update to megapost, including new pieces on Wilbur Ross & the Bank of Cyprus, Donny Junior's email fiasco, and Cohen's trip to Prague to clean up Manafort's mess. Also a short bit about the Ukraine language being stripped from the RNC platform at Kislyak's request.

https://www.vox.com/world/2017/7/10/15950590/donald-trump-jr-new-york-times-illegal

Here's the vox from yesterday, from before Jr. admitted that a) he knew the information came from the Russian Government and b) that he explicitly asked for this.

So, the "we still don't know" stuff from that article is actually stuff we 100% know now. He committed a crime.

I think it's a small fire, like the tinder just caught fire. But Mueller is still in the shadows and he's got the gas can.

People have been suspecting that the copious amounts of smoke coming from the Trump administration means that all their pants are on fire. Trump Jr decided the best way to prove this false was to strip naked and show that their asses and genitalia are made of flame and every pair of pants they've ever worn has been on fire.

You just need to put it into context. Impeachment hearings will not begin until Mueller gives his report, at the absolute earliest. What we are doing today is gleefully adjusting the probability distribution of all the possible outcomes over the next 3.5 years.

this is an open admission by trump's son, trump's campaign manager, and trump's son in law that:

1) they knew the russians were helping trump
2) they wanted the russians to help trump
3) they set up meetings with representatives of the russian government to get information to help trump

it is difficult to explain how this could be worse short of don jr. replying and saying "dad says to tell her if she delivers the goods we'll lift the sanctions when we win"

Yeah, anybody who Trump pardons can be compelled to testify against him or else will go to jail. There is no protection against self-incrimination for things you've been pardoned for so it's basically go to jail for contempt if you don't testify, and go to prison for perjury and obstruction if you lie.
