Trump is also increasingly agitated by the expansion of Muellers probe into financial issues beyond the 2016 campaign and about the potential damage to him and his family.

(13,081 posts)The campaign chairman whos been friends with Trump for thirty years? He would have been doing the vetting though?
That guys business partner? The one yall thought enough of to keep on after the election? The one you gave a White House job to?
Or the guy with the funny name who no one associated with Trump had heard of until this morning? That guy who got his emails forwarded campaign-wide, whose plans were implemented, was put in charge of communications with multiple foreign governments? The guy who got all of his emails to the campaign manager personally answered? The guy who called Trumps campaign manager and the campaign manager answered every time? That guy whos been wearing a wire for the last three months?
I guess Im just confused on who, besides Trump himself, the Trump team failed to vet.

Manafort actually did have a job though, but he was working for Russians. He just forgot to put it on his resume. I'll bet you $5 that Trump knew Manafort was working for the Russians. And he's been selling the Russians properties through Paul Manafort too, for the last 10 or more years.

I really wish I could be a fly on the wall at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue these days. I imagine it sucks to be tRump because every now and then he has to come out of his pouting room to do things like give candy out to the kiddies. He probably could have really traumatized the little darlings by biting the head off of a few bats to express his rage. Instead he had that simpy smile he uses when hed rather have a root canal than be where he is.

Vettee: OK.
Vetter: Do you solemnly swear you will dedicate your entire life, soul, youngest girl-child, property and money to King Trump, never disagree with or cross Him, never criticize or defame Him, never look at his women, never make fun of His hair or hands, never beat Him in golf, and vow to make the annual King's ritual worship ceremony at Trump Tower on Christmas Eve?
Vettee: I do.
Vetter: By the power vested in me by Lord Steve Bannon, you are now vetted. You may now kiss the King's left shoe, then get your ass to work.
