Feels more like this is the press, exhausted from all the stories they gotta run.Giuliani doing crimes.
Press: Remember the old days when we had to work our asses off to get a tenth of this type of shit? Now they just give it to us!
So this now implicates multiple different campaigns?
Oh my oh my.
Foreign individual 1 bank rolling multiple campaigns.

Pence looks so uncomfortable. It's like he struggles at being a human being.
This got in the way of the House questioning, but all this info coming out is some real meat for them to grind (unless they already knew this stuff).
"You got what you wanted! Hope you're happy Mike" just keeps ringing inside his head
Remember when Comey hid in the curtains to avoid Trump? Or when Spicer hid in the bushes?
... Pence is the equivalent of Buster from Arrested Development.
The house will ultimately be able to get everything from the DOJ on these guys. I say ultimately because of course the DOJ will drag their feet and try to shield the President.
So could Guiliani be in trouble in the future with this? I mean he must have known these guys were shady or had links to some dirty russian money/people. For him to invite them into the White House and have them work for GOP is a bad look for him and whoever else involved?
Please tell me I'm correct on this assessment.

I'm incredibly curious now about whether any of these new developments will finally cause Barr to recuse himself from some of these investigations, or will he just mutter "screw it," roll the dice, and try to actively interfere and suppress investigations even more now, and run the risk of getting caught out for it.
Lol, he's gonna have to be indicted before he recuses and even then he'll refuse
And there is no ability to block these guys from having to show up, right?
What are the Democrats going to do if he does? They can't remove him if they impeach him, nobody can prosecute him until 2021. There's no real threat against malfeasance.
Sessions had the good sense to quarantine himself and prevent any future charges from piling up with him. But Sessions was apparently thinking about long term consequences. I have no idea whether Barr cares about the future, or is so arrogant he simply believes nothing bad can happen to him ever.
It's such the mob thing to do, get Pence dirty so he can't flip on you. Probably how Trump works most people.
I do wonder how many politicians and associates are compromised willingly and they just get in too deep and the mafia and foriegn goverments just own them.
What a look its going to be when the Justice Department interjects on their side.
They will legitamately be able to plead the 5th on almost all questioning given the deposition is based in part on what they are being indicted for. The key is subpoena for documentation at this point since in theory SDNY should be able to assist in procuring the documents (that is if Barr decides to block access to them).
I feel like the GOP is rife with foreign money donations (Russia, Saudi Arabia)
That may be one of the reasons why they are siding with Trump.
It's not just party over country... it's self preservation.

The big, initially visible crime was simple, egregious and easy for everyone to understand. It caused disillusionment and opened the eyes of people totally not entrenched with Trump, which is apparently 25% and growing.
I'm sure he has stuff on ted cruz. I was convinced after the "Be careful, Lyin' Ted, or I will spill the beans on your wife" line
They are closely watching the white house and will subpoena and arrest execute branch staffers one by one and polls will gradually approach 65% in favor of removal from office, and Senators will flip for fear of their jobs.
This is the endgame - the Senate. As long as GOP controls the senate they have one hand on the wheel regardless of who's innthe White House. The next president is going to replace at least one justice
Might have been missed, but they were arrested at Dulles about to head out of country.
lmao manafort's lawyers are "helping out" with the ukranian's legal defense today. it's all one scandal.
