Trump is clearly against "many months of COSTLY looking" that fail to produce results.

It is now commonly agreed, after many months of COSTLY looking, that there was NO collusion between Russia and Trump. Was collusion with HC!

BREAKING: 9 year old Dylan (everybody calls him Pickle) writes to Trump about Mueller indictments.

BREAKING NEWS, NO LINK YET.

Washington DC: White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders shared the latest letter from a 9 year old by named Dylan, who also goes by the name of "Pickle." Dylan had previously written to the president to show his support, saying that Trump was his "favorite president" and that he "liked him so much."

Upon learning that Robert Mueller had filed charges and that arrests were expected on Monday, a clearly troubled Dylan took pen in hand once again and wrote to President Trump.

Dear President Trump,

My name is Dylan, but everybody still calls me Pickle. I was watching my cartoons this afternoon and in the middle a reporter came on and said a very bad man wanted to hurt you. They said that some of your friends, and maybe even you, are going to jail. I cried and cried and cried and am still crying.

Why would this bad man want to hurt you? Since you are the president, can't you fire him? And if you can't, can you ask Mr. Rosenstein to fire him for you? I would hate to see anything stop you from making America great again. Other bad people say that all you do is play golf and tweet and eat and watch TV. I think you work very hard and all you care about is our great country. I wish you wouldn't work so hard. I wish you could take just a little time to do some fun things that make you happy. Maybe you could spend more time with your family and have a picnic or something. I know Barron, Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric would appreciate it. I think you have another child too but I can't remember her name. I'll bet you can, though!

My big brother told me that you were going to prison to make license plates. If that happens, I will be old enough to drive in 7 years. Will you send me a license plate? I would like it to say "PickleMAGA."

I also heard that another man who used to be president likes to tell ladies jokes and put his hand on their bum. That is why I love you so much. A bum is a special place and I know you would never do that. I have learned so much from you about how to respect ladies. I hope that when I am old enough to have a girlfriend, I can also meet a former model from Slovenia and live with her in a nice house and make lots of babies. I plan to name them Don, Eric, Ivanka, Barron, and if you can get back to me on the name of your other child I'll name one after her too.

I love you so much President Trump. I think about you every day. You are the best president ever. Don't let this mean man hurt you. It is only Saturday. You have two days to do something about it before he hurts you. Hurt him first. Bigly.

All my love,

Dylan

Not sure if he's golfing this weekend, but...

...you can bet that someone in his cadre is trying to talk him out of having Rosenstein fire Mueller, or even worse, firing Mueller himself.

I personally think he'd want his hand directly on that one, that he is probably stewing in revenge fantasies where he points at Mueller and delivers his Apprentice line, "YOU'RE FIE-YUHD!" That would be a Shakespearean error on his part.

I think we can be sure that every bite of his well-done steak with ketchup and two scoops this weekend will be punctuated with something like "Mutha FUCKA!"

He knows this is the last weekend in which he will be able to hold onto his fantasy of the "fake Russia investigation."

He can't write a $25 million check to make this one go away like Trump University.

His attorneys have proven themselves to be inept.

Whether Manafort or Flynn's head is on the chopping block on Monday (I don't believe it's going to be Jared), when the name is actually in the media and his attempt at quick-cooking a counter-offensive of "collusion" with Hillary and the DNC on the Steele dossier has failed to gain traction, when there is nothing but an arrest and the headlines that go with it, this boy is going to melt down bigly.

As others on DU have astutely pointed out, this is not Fitzmas II. This one goes a lot deeper. This one will hit, and hit hard, and Trump will scramble to make it stop, and any foolish moves will only hurl him deeper into the obstruction of justice pit.

If this man's team executes warrants this weekend he should stripped of his authority by @realDonaldTrump.

Then HE should be investigated.

2014: Trump blocks Jon Bon Jovi's bid to buy Buffalo Bills franchise via a "whisper campaign."



http://ultimateclassicrock.com/jon-bon-jovi-buffalo-bills-donald-trump/

GQ traces the scheme to the spring of 2014, when Trump hired political strategist and media consultant Michael Caputo to collapse the Bon Jovi bid — partly by turning public sentiment against the investor group by insinuating that they planned to move the team to Canada.

Because Caputo was already publicly tied to Trump through their previous political work together, Caputo enlisted a man named Chuck Sonntag as the public face of the anti-Bon Jovi organization they concocted — a decision the article describes as "a stroke of cunning" because Sonntag is "a double amputee cancer survivor" whose condition would prove useful to the seemingly grassroots group on more than one occasion.

As it turned out, Trump's involvement with this effort came to a relatively quick end; once he officially entered his own bid for the team, he reportedly backed off. "I can't talk to you anymore because of the NDA I signed," Caputo quotes Trump as saying. "Have a good time."

With Trump officially out of the picture, Caputo said he "immediately made it far more aggressive and anti-Toronto," a tactic that quickly proved so successful that Bon Jovi was prompted to write an open letter trying to convince fans there weren't any plans to move the team. It ultimately worked, although not to Trump's advantage; the team was eventually sold to Terry and Kim Pegula, whose holdings already included the Buffalo Sabres hockey team.
