Trump displays anger and defensiveness at news gathering this morning.

He was all over the place. Of course, he did not work "for Russia".

And as if he is the judge and jury, he again questioned why Hillary was not indicted and convicted by the FBI? She had done much worse than anything he has ever done. He is a martyr. Everyone is out to get him.

And as for his meeting with Putin, without anyone to take notes, he does that with Canada and everyone else. How could Putin be any different?

It's a "disgrace", he said, while referring to the NYTimes story about him possibly working with the Russians.

He looked like a Las Vegas patron who just rolled snake eyes.

When you see that word in a quote you know he's lying, obfuscating, or obstructing.

He said it was a disgrace, at that time.

"I find it a disgrace that you asked that question," he yelled. And then he attacked the FBI.

The Republicans are circling the wagons around this moron, they are so afraid of his base.

As it looks, the only time that will happen is when he is in the witness chair.

Also McConnell isn't either to continue this shutdown.

see whats said during meetings and what is created in paperwork while in the oval office. You can't throw away or fail to create records when you are a "president'.

So he missed his chance.

Oh yeah, you can't do that as president or as a normal moral person.

it wouldn't be in the news on Monday.

Just like the NY Times 1 1/2 year expose' about Trump's crime family of tax fraud and money laundering and daddy giving Trump 400 million bucks only was in the news cycle for 24 hours. 24 fucking hours. Tell me again about the liberal media.

i don't think trump literally worked for russia (or putin)

i don't think trump literally works at anything

(has he ever actually worked a day in his charmed life?)

however, i think he made some deals with putin (or at least thought he did) in order to benefit himself in the long run. (at least he thinks he will benefit)
