Republicans seem very reluctant to do their job when it comes to this administration and I can't help but wonder if they have been threatened with "sleeping with the fishes" kind of warning.
tRumps attorney looks exactly like someone Hollywood casting dragged out of storage and put on the stage to say, " my client is totally vindicated" and you had better accept that or else.
Sessions looks like a Consigliere way out of his depth and surprised that anyone even knows who he is outside of his KKK groupies.
Pence is the guy hiding behind the curtains hoping nobody notices him cause if they do, he is toast. He seems the perfect sacrificial fall guy sort with that who me? Thousand inch stare his eyes have.
And Paul " let'm eat cake" Ryan is the guy who has to find and clean all the mattresses when it's time bunker up.
I predict popcorn sales skyrocketing as this whole thing picks up steam.

(65,207 posts)More of the Gotti era where they got too bold and too stupid and started getting shut down. They pinned a fake rap on Luciano and got Capone on taxes and that did NOTHING to slow down the outfit in the 30's and 40's. Nothing. Those guys were smart enough to have a structure where one person targeted by the cops didn't cause the whole operation to go sideways.
