You're talking about Hillary, aren't you?
And Obama, come to think of it
And EVERY CAREER POLITICIAN.

What was that about cleaning out the swamp?

It doesn't count when you fill the swamp first.

I doubt that Kushner will ever go to prison, but if he does his biggest problem will be finishing his tennis game in time to make his tee time.

It was just some white lies that started the Watergate hearings ball rolling. Little white lies grow and grow.

Yes, I'm sure that is what she means.....rather than trying to "ease herself into" the fact that she told the country - and perhaps others (Congress? Atty. General, whoever else?) boldfaced and possibly illegal lies.

We'll see soon enough. I'm sure Mr. Mueller is following the events closely.

Damn straight.

Anyone who didn't live in the NYC area wasn't exposed to Trump stories for the last 35 years.

From him calling media outlets as his own spokesman to pump himself up (John Barron) to Trump bullying small contractors who worked on his projects, to Trump showing up at the last hour of a charity event uninvited where other celebrates are looking at each with a "What is he doing here?", Trump stepped on anyone who got in his way. It is evident when his actions failed to meet what he says, because to Trump, words are cheap, so he says whatever he wants to get his way.

Club Fed - all he needs to know is which teams he is gonna play softball on.

AND, these types of people don't do time. His "punishment" will be self-inflicted and probably involve the total bankruptcy of his Real Estate company. He is sinking fast unless some foreign countries give him money for his bad real estate deals.
