Ok, seriously, I need to sign off. I have, like, 20 emails just from the last hour I need to address. FUUUCCK. Someone text me if something else big happens.
Papadapolous emailed shit like subject line: “New message from Russia” suggesting off the record meetings with Putin. Dude, world’s dumbest crime ring right here.

Re-reading an alumni magazine interview with Gates - the last sentence just made me laugh out loud.
"You will be rewarded in ways that will impact you throughout your life, and in many cases, you will marvel at where you are and what you are doing, often looking back and wondering how all of this happened. "

So, do you guys think Trump will fire Mueller? Can he fire him? I am not as educated as y'all, so I'm not sure what would happen if he did that. EDUCATE ME, please.
Also, I bet James Comey is popping bottles today too.

Where I think Mueller will have success is that they all know trump is loyal to no one. So they'll save their hides and try to point fingers at everyone else. It's going to be messy.
I shouldn't be excited because it's terrible for our country. Yet, here I am, giddy, wanting to rub it in the face of every magat there is.
You guys this Papawhatever guy is grade A level dumb dumb dumb. Jesus act like you have colluded before you big ole dummy. He didn't even try to hide the subject lines!
I'm seeing some other commentary from the right how this is NBD because it's all before the campaign. And I want to know what they are smoking. We have a guy who launders $18 million for the Russians who also happens to work FOR FREE for a presidential campaign that not only has a whole bunch of weird Russian ties, but a whole bunch of documented lies about those ties. How you can think the pre-campaign shit is completely unrelated is beyond me.
I realize that they probably don't actually believe that and just need to push this line to save their jobs and create confusion. But it's just so fucking dumb. Paul Manafort may have been a Putin crook who felt remorse for fucking over the country so he worked for free for Trump and wasn't at all tempted to do anything bad while in that role, and every weird Russia thing that happened was just a coincidence. That is the best spin they have.
Or they're dumb enough to not make the connection. Actual quote: "Okay? I thought they were supposed to be looking for a Russian collusion in affecting our elections. Not money laundering and representing themselves as a foreign agent or whatever."
I mean really. Willfully obtuse or just astoundingly ignorant?
I think that in the MAGATs' world view, treason is only committed for ideological reasons. Not financial ones.
I read the indictment but glossed over the tables of transactions, but a comment over on Celebitchy said that a lot of the transactions relate to Russia and the Russian lawyer, and the Seychelles stuff relates to DeVos, etc. I'm going to take another look. but basically if that's true, then even if this indictment doesn't say "Russia" or "trump campaign," its still heading in that direction.
Pretty pretty please let Devos and her whole shitty family be involved in this. They are shit human beings. I want them to go to jail.
I think heads are gonna start rolling. I'm sure there's at least a half dozen more errand boys who thought they were hot shit for nailing a Skype call with a Putin crony, then thought they could lie with impunity to the FBI.

I think he wants to fire him and has probably talked about it, but someone is telling him not to do it.
Trump can't fire Mueller directly (I don't think), but he can direct Rosenstein to fire him, as the acting AG.
That's what got Nixon in the end. He tried to fire the special prosecutor - well he DID fire him - the AG refused to do it, and then I think the deputy AG also refused - so the solicitor general fired him. "Saturday night massacre."
