imho, donnie has his the trifecta.

i think the bribery charge is going to prove to be the least controversial.

republicans can insist that obstruction of a witch hunt is justified. in any event they always insist that whatever republican presidents to, it's never obstruction.

republicans can insist that whatever involvements he had with russia don't amount to treason. no official war, no exchange of weapons, whatever.


but the bribery seems so straightforward and base. yeah, they'll insist he has a right to be a businessman and all, but when it appears he's clearly personally profiting by trading presidential decisions, such as helping a chinese company keep jobs in china....
