The irony of course is Trump is someone who claims he values loyalty above all else. Yet he’s utterly incapable of showing any and now things are coming home to roost.
I’ve thought for some time that Russia wouldn’t be his downfall. I thought it’d be him perjuring himself like Clinton. But it looks like he may pull a John Edwards and ruin himself with campaign law violations.
It’s ironic that so far there is nothing concerning Russia, although this isn’t over yet. But you are right it could be in the end that won’t matter.
But many Trumpers keep saying “this has nothing to do with Russia” as though other potentially criminal behavior doesn’t matter. It would be like someone accused of robbing a bank but saying they didn’t shoot anyone, so who cares?
It’s baffling. It’s like, you are rich. You can afford good pay lawyers who will tell you to shut the ■■■■ up unless you’re summoned before a grand jury. Even if you refuse to talk in front of a federal grand jury, the worst you’re looking at is being held in jail for up to six months for contempt.
Instead the FBI shows up and these dudes roll over on everyone they know immediately. Even dope dealers will usually wait until they’re indicted before they give up their pals.
