True. Especially since Mueller has such a reputation for professionalism.

In general, though, that should be the response of anyone who finds out they’re being specifically investigated by a federal prosecutor, whether they have something in particular to hide or not. There are just so may things that are technically illegal that if you’re not the president, there’s definitely something they can indict and probably convict you for.

You mean like just a clip from Downfall?

And especially especially because he’s the president, and thus virtually untouchable unless he’s done something pretty heinous (and maybe not even then). Plus, the investigation wasn’t even targeting him - it was about the hacking. On top of which, he’s been doing crimes all his life and blithely being able to avoid the consequences, so he’s gotten pretty blasĆ© about it. So I really have to wonder just what he was thinking of that rendered him so ā€œfuckedā€ - presumably it was something to do with his attempts to conspire with foreign governments.

The context makes it worse, not better. The Attorney General is supposed to protect him? WTF happened to ā€œuphold the law and the Constitiution of the United States?ā€

Well he found the right weasel - I mean, guy - for that job in Barr, that’s for sure. Barr is perfectly ok wiping his ass with the Constitution.

In 2018, Trump made it acceptable for a political figure to use the word ā€œshitholeā€ in public. Now, everyone’s using it. Now, because of him, the New York Times gets to print ā€œfuckā€ on the front page. As Kurt Vonnegut might have said, ā€œSo it goes.ā€

Wonderful. So let’s f*ck him already and stop just talking about it!!!

and yet everyone in power is resisting starting impeachment

watch Maddow’s opening segment last night to understand why the attempt to obstruct justice is so freaking crystal clear with firing Sessions - all but a recording of the incident (if only)

Who wants to like my comment on a blog post that puts in context of US media etiquette the twitter reactions on a newspaper quoting from a legal report quoting what someone wrote down as a spontaneous remark of a highly derivative president?
