There would be much gnawing of furniture on the right if the Clintons engaged in anything close to this. I hope Cohen realizes the level of corruption he's been engaged in and spills his putrid guts to Special Counsel Mueller.

Manafort's fair haired boy reported to Allenwood Federal Penitentiary today to do his bit. I hope Cohen and the rest of them will be in the slammer soon. Roody Ghouliani must be soiling himself in anticipation.

You mean, like, $150K - $250K per engagement speaking fees?

You mean, like, directing folks who wanted access while she was Secretary of State to the Clinton Foundation to donate?

You mean, like, selling access to the Lincoln bedroom?

When you don't have an argument, specious or otherwise, why don't you just simply STFU, Mike?

The conservative debate playbook - When all else fails, resort to "whataboutism" involving Hillary.

I was a harsh critic of Hillary's email fiasco, but Trump's malfeasance and corruption is some next level shit.

It's out of the ballpark. Heck, that ball is orbiting Alpha Centauri. It's amazing, really. Nearly every day, it's something new from the ZTE deal to his daughter applying for patents in China. It is SO obvious that he is using (Abusing?) the presidency for personal gain in a way that will FAR exceed anything ANY president has done before him. It won't come as any surprise if it's in the multiples of billions by the time it's over.

From the Evangelists to the Whitehouse, the American right has legitimized unbridled, selfish greed and avarice on a colossal scale in the name of Patriotism and the name of Christ.

We truly do live in interesting times.

You know what? Please disregard the above advice. You're not worth the keystrokes.

Really.

Your favorite judge got the un-redacted memo last Friday and nary a peep.

Looks like Mueller's team is always several steps ahead of the forces of evil. The dude's gonna need to be fitted for a halo by the time this is all over.
