‘The Question At This Point’ Is Who’s Going To Jail

From now on, ignore the conventional wisdom about how the Russia scandal is not “resonating” with President Trump’s still-loyal base. The question at this point is what strikes a chord with special counsel Robert S. Mueller III – and what kind of legal jeopardy Trump’s closest associates, including his eldest son and son-in-law, might eventually face.
Trump spent Monday morning live-tweeting fawning segments from his favorite cable news show,
What’s astonishing about this is that we have heard not one tweet from DJT in support of his son…when anyone has even whispered anything malign about anyone else in his family (Ivanka and Nordstrom, Melania and prostitution, Barron and autism…) he has tweeted his support immediately…my guess is that DJT Jr. has been set up as the Patsy to take the fall for DJT Sr. and get Mueller and everyone else off his case…how convenient…
Unfortunately, most humans are saddled with the disability of, “What you see is all there is,” (coined by Daniel Kahneman, Ph.D.) or “What you know or hear is all there is.” These conditions hamper the investigative mind/the curious mind, from examining information beyond that which is served up on a silver platter. These conditions ordinarily stifle one from developing disciplined thinking and exercising the mind so as to learn how to analyze a given set of facts, read between the lines, determine the meaning of what’s present beyond that what which is expressly stated by using inference and deductive reasoning, by observing what is omitted, and by recognizing the incredulous and what rings true. However, the presence of the disability would in no way deprive a seven year old from concluding that Trump, Jr., Kushner, Manafort and the Trump campaign and ultimately Mr. Destructo, were colluding (to use Fox’s insurmountable red herring standard) with the Russians in seeking to defeat Clinton.
Jr. is such a smug little prick – didn’t like him before he was the son of the president – didn’t like him killing elephants in Africa and cutting off their tails and proudly holding it up as a trophy – didn’t like him sitting on a stump and pretending to be cute – didn’t like him with PePe The Frog – didn’t like him when he did the phony marriage proposal for a jewelry store ad in exchange for a free 100k ring – didn’t like his stupid analogy of the Syrian refugees and his bowl of Skittles – didn’t like him when he criticized the Mayor of London – didn’t like his July 4, 2017 tweet ….BUT I loved the response from America! And you MUST WATCH THE VIDEO!

“it is not normal practice for a campaign to welcome information undermining an opponent”
Well I just must be Barney of Mayberry then.
This story has legs longer than the The Lagoon. http://www.cnbc.com/2017/07/11/trump-jr-shares-email-chain-that-set-up-meeting-with-russian-lawyer.html
I see a Sleestak…
I had to look it up! half-human, half-lizard creatures hahaha! loved it!
The Sleestak are a reptilian bipedal humanoid species. They have a thin but wide-set mouths and large, round black eyes that are averse to light. Covered mostly in green scales, their bellies are yellow. Sleestak also have claws on their feet and on their hands, with a horn protruding from the top of their heads. There are some terrific images of Sleestak at Google!
