There was someone on conference call during the Trump Jr/Russian lawyer meeting. Trump was in Trump tower at the date/time of the meeting. Wondering if Trump Sr was on that phone.

Well except for the obvious obstruction of justice you mean. As I pointed out Trump may not have committed any crime before that. If evidence shows up then it will, but right now there is pretty convincing evidence of obstruction in my opinion.

The attempts to ignore all of this and normalize it is a disservice to our country.

Obstruction of Justice is difficult to prove. How easy or hard do you think it will be?


"But proving obstruction of justice is difficult even in ordinary circumstances. That’s because a key element in such cases is knowing the intent of a suspect, confessions are rare, and words that seem clear to one person could mean something else to another. Moreover, political and other legal factors decidedly weigh in Trump’s favor."

Remember that Mike Pence lead the transition team. There was a clear chain of command. Everything that was done or said by all the others had to have Pence's approval.

That would include anything Flynn was involved in, along with Rience Priebus, Steve Bannon, and Jared Kushner. They would all have to report to Pence directly.
Ut oh. So that means President Paul Ryan???

ABC News made a huge boo boo in its reporting and had to correct it, but didn't for hours.

the above doesn't sound like treasonous collusion.

That may be very well where we're headed.

Pay attention folks. We're living in historic times.

You'll be telling your grandkids.
