I Soil My Pants If I Get A Parking Ticket Or A Speeding Ticket - The Trump Team Is Being.....

scrutinized by the FBI and Congressional Intelligence Committee's for collusion with Russia in the election and ongoing collusion with Russia since Trump has been elected.

The seriousness of these accusations is beyond the pale. How do these people sleep at night and why do they continue to lie about this? How do they handle the pressure of these investigations without cracking?

If it comes to pass that there has been collusion and a follow-up cover-up - these people face serious jail time.

I just don't understand how they thought they could get away with something like this.

Is it because they thought that they had things covered by winning the Trifecta - the presidency, the House and the Senate? Did they think that they could just sweep this under a carpet if they put the right people in certain positions within this administration?

I don't get it.

1. Apparently some don't. Trump tweets through the night and Nunes meets for intel at 3am. n/t

6. I'm convinced about one thing;

Trump was never really liberal. He hid his fascist persona well at the time. That talk about "legalizing drugs?" It was "talk" and nothing more. The opiate crackdown coming will, most likely, come at the expense of legitimate pain sufferers. That is the low hanging fruit.

2. I think they thought they had the trifecta to hide them.

That's also why I think they hacked the vote.

3. I believe there's much more they've gotten away with over the years, so they're smug about it

Con men are like that. Not only do they get away with their crimes but then they move on to commit them all over again on others. They're psychopaths.

4. You don't understand

the criminal mind.

5. I was not aware of the laxative effects of parking tickets. One of the Trumpsters will crack.

I doubt anyone, Drumpf included, was privy to the whole plan. They probably thought their little piece of the scam was deniable, not realizing they were just a piece of the large puzzle.

7. Yep

One of them will run out of Depends at some point.

8. Most of them have lived a life where money bought power and protection

They could afford to pay lawyers to wear out their opponents and bury any opposition as well as threats of defamation lawsuits when called out publicly. Now as public officials, they can't hide behind privacy laws and their opponents tend to be well financed and with lawyers every bit as good as any they can hire.

After some big and public losses, they might develop a degree of introspection if they aren't removed from office first.
