so much rump himself, that's a byproduct. I mean all this rump scandal is bad for the party. The head of the scum party is a Russian ass-hat? I mean WTF...something must be done. Who knows maybe old mitch gave him a call and said listen apply for this job and we all know how easy we can hook this orange whale with just a little worm.

I can't imagine why else he would want to be doing all this. IT'S NOT EVEN A GOOD COVER UP FOR FUCKS SAKE.
I don't think the Mueller report can be covered up...it would have to redacted to within an inch of it's life.

Rump and corrupt co are in big fucking trouble...in super slow motion.
