48. It would appear Trump kicked the hornets' nest Monday.

May 2017

I'm curious as to why these particular warrants being undertaken simultaneously in Virginia are assumed by all to be related to the Trump campaign. The local offices seem to be related to all GOP, which casts a wide net, but it might not mean that Trump would be caught up in it, no? Weren't most of Trump's activities based in and maintained in New York? I'm wondering whether any shoes will start dropping there, but I guess that's a stupid thought since Giuliani has got the NY Bureau all buttoned down for Trump, apparently.

As others have noted, I'm somewhat skeptical that anything at all will be uncovered in this. Priebus, Trump, Kisliak (sp?), et al have had MONTHS, days and hours since the foreign installation to clean up their shit, and I expect they will have done so.

The single best method of bringing Trump down is: Trump. The more he keeps flapping his gibbering maw, the worse he makes it for himself. The interview he gave Lester Holt today is a glaring example. In that conversation, he said that Comey had told him three times on three separate occasions - two by telephone (IIRC), but he said the other time was "at dinner". DINNER?!!! What the actual fucking hell? I have got to wonder if there ever was an actual dinner engagement between the two. Seriously, does anyone really believe that after what happened with Loretta Lynch being buttonholed casually by Bill Clinton and brouhaha ensued thereafter that Comey would have sat down to break bread at dinner with this orange monstrosity while he was apparently having investigations done on him simultaneously? The only way this would have happened to allow the orange dumpster fire to be able to say this is if he happened to see Comey in the same restaurant while they were both dining - separately - and they exchanged greeting casually in passing. Trump keeps stating this three times denial (sorta biblical, ain't it?) over and over. He's obsessed with these purported "3 times" denial, but it would appear he's as full of shit as everyone deep down (and that includes his kool aid drinking true believers) knows he's just a bloviating huckster.
