Good lord. It's only Monday. I feel like I can always tell how good or bad a week is going to be by the length of this thread by the time I sit down to lunch on Monday. If it's more than one page before we even get to the BS that is an SHS presser (if one happens), it's going to be not great. We're at two pages already and my soup hasn't even cooled enough for me to eat it. Obviously other weeks are worse than others, but that's always been my impression.

Trump's lawyer needs to be disbarred for incompetence. His payoff was flagged by Treasury?? Seems like amateur hour. You would think a fixer could...fix things?

Oh my...It's still crazy that no one seems to care that POTUS was paying off porn stars from an affair that happened when his youngest child was a newborn. This type of behavior is just expected from him. I used to think a person's private life should be off limits. I was still in middle and then high school for all of Bill Clinton's transgressions coming to light and I know my parents shielded us from some of it (I was ten when he was first elected.) so I didn't really understand the accusations from Paula Jones and others. I had this opinion that you could be a shit husband but a good President, so leave the shit husband part of it private. No real point to this, other than obviously my opinion has changed and not just because 45 is the opposite party from me. Bill Clinton should never have been elected. JFK probably shouldn't have been either. 45 definitely shouldn't.

Umm this is illegal. It is illegal to sell or improperly display the seal of the president.

Looks like there's been a resolution to the squabbling over Trump Tower Panama. Heh.

Lol Sam Numberg is refusing to comply with a subpoena to appear before the grand jury. This should go well for him.

One thing that gives me joy is that his brand has gone to shit with his presidency, which is the exact opposite of what he wanted.
Sure, there will be the "deplorables" who will always love him, but aside from that minority, no one really wants to be associated with him anymore. Once he's out of office, either because his term is over or because he is removed, the rest of the world that right now has to pay attention to him because of the position he holds, is going to drop him.

That's where the subpoena came from clearly.
ETA: the one shown to Axios/NBC

"I'm going to rip up this subpoena on tv because I don't want to spend time going through my emails" is legitimately the stupidest thing I've heard so far and with all the chucklefucks involved in this debacle, that is saying a lot.

He's on Katy Tur's show right now. He says they're going after Roger Stone who is like family to him (ew?) and he won't do it.
I believe the Roger Stone part.

I can’t read the entire article since I don’t have a WSJ subscription, so this may have been covered, but it is required that the bank report activity over a certain dollar amount for an individual in one day (it’s called an SAR, or suspicious activity report).

"I ripped up the subpoena bc I don't feel like going through my emails" seems like a rock solid defense.

Yeah he should have known it was going to be flagged. Not bc it was obviously nefarious, but bc we have, you know, a Treasury Department with hundreds of bureaucrats paid to monitor this stuff.

I think his lawyer is definitely quitting after he goes on air and melts down.

Haha love this characterization of Mueller
This is a man for whom dress-down Fridays is briefly thinking about wearing a slightly paler grey sock, but then thinking better of it.

Interview over. He went out asking Katy what she thinks Mueller was going to do to him.
Haaaa.
