    Too funny...

    Some thoughts

    I would put that job description of ?????? next to Rex Tillerson as well... Had no chance to do that job the correct way, not that he would have known how to.

    I would put Andrew McCabe under the Casualties of Trump category.... I don't care about the talking point about the legitimacy of the investigation and the actual firing recommendation.... this one sits right at Trumps doorstep, at least the timing.

    He can't get a decent lawyer to work for him so he scraped the bottom of the barrel to get a Fox "lawyer" who is a conspiracy theorist and all-'round failure.

    Ditto. I can't wait for Mueller to corner him into lying under oath. And it better be very soon now with Bolton War Hawk on board. Can you imagine deciding to attack N.K. and Iran?!!! This IDIOT has to be stopped PRONTO before we end up in a nuclear war!

    The Republican congress is no better. They knew damned well that the needed to take the war powers back to stop trump, and they didn't. Conclusion: Republicans WANT war but don't want to be responsible for it.

    Holy crap. Replaced with another Fox talking head - Bolton. The guy who swore invading Iraq would be wonderful thing for democracy. Beautiful. Shall we start a pool on how long he lasts?

    We should just move the White House to Fox studios to save time.

    It was a wonderful thing for democracy until Obama gave it away to Iran.

    Dowd's advice would be good for anyone but a president. Trump's lawyers are instinctively too passive.

    You might want to broaden your search enquiry past that one word. Mueller sure has! He's at that stage as a special counsel, where the operative phrase to describe his problem is "So many laws, so little time!"

    Even a President is in jeopardy from a perjury trap. Even if there was no legal action accusations of lying would be fodder for th left biased press.

    Hey, 'Legal, the Genius-in-Chief knows what he's doing. All he needs are a few lawyers to file the paperwork.

    I honestly don't think Trump has enough in him to do something as nefarious as collusion with Putin.
    It's unnecessary.

    What does Trump need in order to manage it? Nothing beyond letting Putin and his agents work, and failing to take a hard line against Putin in return.
