For a good part of today I’ve been watching sometimes but mostly listening to MSNBC. The reports today, which are of course about Don the Con’s trip to meet the boss and have his annual review. You would never know that. The press can’t help but try to find some legitimate reason for don’s antics. Instead they ask questions like “what do you think he will get as a result of the summit?” First of all it is not a summit, and second it was a meeting more than likely called by Putin as a chance to review Don’s performance and provide new instructions. I still believe that Trump has a back channel and if I had to guess I would guess that the cell phone he doesn’t want to give up may just be the connection in plain sight. A call from Vlad asking for a meeting was all it took to announce the meeting would be in a few weeks. I don’t know who put the title Summit on this meeting. I suspect it was mainstream media.
Something else hit me these past two days. The congressmen who bullied the FBI agent, displayed an anger that I bet is more the result of angst about what Mueller knows about some of the republican candidates who received help in 2016 and candidates who may be getting help from Russia in the 2018 elections. That the republican party’s behavior has become “traitorous” and that they are attempting to obstruct justice can’t be denied. What was with that little group of republican senators who celebrated July 4th in Moscow?
Added 5:47 PM. Can and would Mueller subpoena Trump’s translator?
