Roger Ailes mentioned John Boehner to trump as a C.O.S. at the end of 2015 and he didn't even know who he was. That makes him the most politically illiterate novice to ever run for public office never mind winning the biggest of them all.
Trump/Russia/SDNY investigation

He’s gone full Arrested Development.
Denald might as well close his account.
That's why I think if Muller brings a lot of criminal charges against them and the house does vote to impeach we will be closer to three quarters of the Senate then people realize. Probably won't get there because the GOP are pretty much a hate group at this point but how can Senators from one party ignore the copious amounts of criminality and do nothing. He is basically a money launderer for the Russian mob and a real estate fraudster.
I think people get carried away with their hopes for impeachment or even prosecution.
If push comes to shove he will hand out pardons like candy and if that fails he will get offered a slap on the wrist deal because the people in power don't want a painful trial about how corrupt their democracy is. I think the best one can hope for is him resigning his office or leaving politics after his first term finishes, depending on Müller's timing.
The damage has already been done anyway.

The Senate does not impeach. The House will have the numbers to any time they want once the newly elected representatives take office.
(Sorry for being pedantic...this has become one of my pet peeves in this discourse.)
Yeah I realise that, I mean if the majority Dem House impeaches Trump, which they will, the majority GOP senate has absolutely no chance of convicting him.
On top of that, I expect the senate hearings to be absolute joke affairs, mostly behind closed doors. All procedure will be out the window.
Has he not coloured his hair this week? Looks proper white.
That’s a corker of a photo, really captured everything beautifully. The confident, jovial and relaxed body language of his counter parts. The distant, stone faced vapid look on his face. A chancer, completely out of his depth with the weight of the world on his shoulders for all the wrong reasons.
No amount of red power-tie is saving you here, Donny.
My God! What a picture!
Trump seems to be seeing Mo bone saw in a different light today.
He looks absolutely broken in both those pictures.
Cohen knows everything and just completed 70 hours of testimony with Mueller. Same with Weiselberg. He knows the end is near.
If they were both on Match.com or eHarmony, the two respective dating sites' algorithm would match the both together.
So much in common. Both fabulously rich, both like sunsets, walks by the beach/sands and both have killed journalists.
100% match.
I still can’t help but think he will be “too big to fail”, like he was when his casinos went bust.
Although, in the same way his trial is in the court of public opinion rather than criminal while he’s president, I actually think that’s absolutely fitting for Trump. If his dirty washing is hung out in public, it will kill him.
He's just jealous, and feeling a little left out.
That is an incredible photo. It's going to be Time photo of the year.

Seriously. The betrayal written all over Trump's face is something else.
I hope he doesn't bring the world down with him in flames

amazing!The look of a jilted lover.
"I remember when he would shake my hand and look me in that way."
My financials + a piss tape = I think I'm fecked ( who can I hire to get me out of this mess and how can I get around having to pay them )
There’s our state level charges, shrouded in just the right amount of mystery.
It basically makes it impossible for Don to pardon anyone at this point. On the one hand it could be seen as obstruction so there is the political fall out for that. Then on the other it would likely come back to bite him in the ass by merely removing the subjects 5A rights when they are called to testify against him or his family for the state level charges.
If he can deliver Trump's head on a platter (legally speaking of course) to Mueller, then he shouldn't serve any time imo. It would also be great leverage for Mueller in dealing with Cohen about how much he wants to reveal.
Agree with that. If he provides enough key information to bring down the criminal Trump empire then any crimes he committed in his role within that criminal empire should have full clemency on those crimes.
If they find he’s guilty of crimes outside of his remit as a Trump employee then I think he should have to serve some time for those.
It’s like a retroactive undercover job.

The craziness of this all hit home today when I was ambling around waterstones and saw that a Seth Abramson book about Trump was on prominent display.
