I'm beyond the point of being surprised when these details come out. We're in such a mess.

About Kushner's statement.
He totally throws junior under the bus. BUT he had to have seen the subject of the email. If he saw the subject he knew what he was doing. Also if he saw the subject I find it SO hard to believe he didn't read the emails. Also I feel like his disinterest/wanting to leave was probably because he knew he shouldn't be in that meeting.
Setting up communications through the Russian embassy still seems extremely fishy to me.
Re: security clearance forms. Seems like it was a major fuck up and he basically blames his office/takes zero responsibility. I must admit the fact that it was all foreign contacts, not just Russian, makes me a lot less suspicious of it though. I'm more suspicious of his financial disclosure at this point.

Shady AF.
That's my profound contribution to this discussion.

Really curious to see if they're going to start doing on camera briefings again this week.

Really curious to see if they're going to start doing on camera briefings again this week. Only if hair and makeup are available. I saw something really quick this weekend about Scaramucci wanting basically 'state run' tv. Thats a wee bit scary.

He is not going to hold back on Sessions. This is crazy. Also calling Schiff sleazy? Jesus.

In personal politics news, I walked into work this today and noticed a republican coworker had taped a Pepe the Frog to her computer. I spent a while trying to decide if I should report it or not, but eventually did. I wouldn't report a Trump sticker or republican elephant, but it's classified as a hate symbol by the ADL. I hope they make her take it down immediately. Stupid question, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to google at work, what is "Pepe the Frog"?

I know I'm really impatient but I wish they would just skip the whole 'interviewing' and go straight to deposing these people. Whats the point at the level we're at current to bring someone in for a nice chat? (I know what the point is, I just think at this stage, they are just gonna lie in the interview and have to walk back again so much shit)

I see he is having a 24 hour twitter meltdown again? How long do we think it will be before Sessions gets canned?

Stupid question, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to google at work, what is "Pepe the Frog"? A cartoon frog hijacked by the alt-right as a white supremacy symbol. It's possible that's not how she meant it, but I don't care. The swastika symbolized something completely different before the Nazis used it, but I couldn't just put one on my desk and claim I didn't mean it that way. Ahhhh! I would have reported it too.

He's trying to get him to resign so he doesn't have to fire him. But who knows, he is prone to making extremely unexpected rash decisions.

I don't see him resigning that easily.

Sessions is right where his racist little heart has always wanted to be - destroying communities of color with impunity.

the visual (ratings?) on firing Sessions is so so so bad that perhaps even djt is having pause. He has to know that he can get more mileage with his base out of shaming Sessions (like he did Spicer) than actually firing him. He is such a piece of shit.

Dude, I don't know. Her desk is literally the most visible one in the entire room and every person who walks through can see it, so I'm taken aback. It seems risky AF for such a quiet and buttoned up person. Given the state of our country, it's not that I'm surprised she has the thoughts as much as I am surprised she brought them so boldly into her place of work. Further evidence that Trump has emboldened assholes to be loud and proud assholes.

I don't want to give her that excuse but I could see a bunch of Fox News worshippers using the symbol and not having a fucking clue about what it really meant. "It just means I support our president!" On the other hand she's a racist fuck. I'm game for either interpretation.

I'm assuming they are "interviewing" Junior and Manafort rather than compelling testimony under oath bc it will be easier to get. If they demand testimony under oath, they can refuse. If they subpoena them, they can always take the fifth. And there's a decent chance that they're going to lie whether they are under oath or not.
My thinking is that Grassley and Feinstein are trying the nice cop approach first, and if they need more info, then subpoenas will fly.

I think Trump will get impatient and fire Sessions eventually. And then I think Giuliani or whoever will try to fire Mueller, and Mueller will refuse, and it'll get dragged to the Supreme Court. Because 2017 needs more drama.

Today 45 decided that Washington isn't a swamp, it's a sewer.
GDI I am personally offended and outraged on behalf of every civil servant here who works hard for this country.
Honestly, he disgusts me.
