Trump should be talking to his VP about a pardon for Trump. He will be needing to resign sooner then later.

Trump is in so deep and his oldest kids went along with him. They may be thrown under the bus so Trump Sr. can walk away with a pardon.

He did not mention Trump's name.
Tillerson was talking directly to Trump in the only way to reach him. I wonder if Fox will show the speech.

He didn't need to--everyone knew his reference point...
Was going to post this myself--kudos for first off the mark...

Surely there comes a point when there are already too many bodies under the bus for it to take any more--
Even hypothetically...
I would love to find a graphic with a metro bus and 800 bodies under it...
Must be jacked up 3 floors high by now...

A Republican on the Beat just stated the obvious. Trump is open to impeachment for breaking the law. Giving false statements on the mandatory financial disclosure statement.

Trump lies so often that it is finally coming back to bite him in the arse.

Financial Services Comm. has asked Treasury Sec, back in January, 2018, if any of the Trump team had asked to have records removed. No reply from Treasury Sec. That GOP oversight sure not working.

According to the NY'er article, it could also have been Mueller's team who asked for the removal.

It may be that someone reached out to FinCEN to ask to limit disclosure of certain SARs related to an investigation, whether it was the special counsel or the Southern District of New York.
Although Mnuchin, of course, could have a hand in this. Apparently, Mnuchin was the mover behind the ZTE deal - I actually heard this on Fox Business News from Charlie Gasparino. Gasparino upset, host (black, don't know his name) was talking over Gasparino - clearly to dilute his words.

I fear for this whistleblower, as there may have been legitimate, non-nefarious reasons for removal from the more open database. Trump, of course, will escape scot-free. Cohen possibly not. Avenatti said again today on Nichole Wallace that, because of Cohen, Trump will not finish out his term. I certainly hope this prediction is as accurate as what he's disclosed so far - although the thought of Pence is a horror show, as well.
