The more he's pressed to release them the worse he'll look for refusing. <br /><br />There's that waft of nostalgia, early 70s style - the resignation of Spiro Agnew, Daniel Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers,CREEP and Mitchell, Watergate and the downfall of so many, especially Nixon. Boy they were sure brought down, like bricks in a crumbling wall. <br /><br />Still it took the better part of two years for that to ripen. Trump's fiasco has only been stewing for a few months.

Paul is already saying he doesn't think there's even a reason for Sessions to recuse himself. The news media, having discovered that when Trump speaks slowly and in a slightly lower register, the orange gasbag can be preznichul after all will fart away at moonbeams for a while longer and then they'll get on with the most important job they have - seeing to it that nothing irremediably stains the office or the system. <br /><br />Nothing much will really change until the USD collapses and then there'll probably be some war-war. Cue Slim Pickens.

General Trump of the 30 Day Rid of ISIL "secret, very secret plan" may implode or fail to unfold prior to achieving stable 4 yesr orbit..<br /><br />1 - Tax returns? Lied relentlessly about releasing them. If and when they leak out in dribs and drabs, FOI's, via remote media analysis, they will be either mindblowing.. or worse - ie Trump as indebted over-leveraged fraud & loan markers held by obscure Chines and Russian entities. <br /><br />2 - Conflicts of Interests? Lies, defies, blusters, refuses.. appoints his children. (he caught me by suprise with his/Bannon's pre-emptive attack uppn the Joint Chiefs of Staff.. and Security Council.. Did not think he could get away with that)<br /><br />3 - Russia.. oh yes.. Russia.. that rattling chain, and runaway boat anchor - See points #1 and #2<br /><br />4 - The Donald/Bannon hard-on to match Stephen Harper's assaults & insults on any level of Environmental Protection legislation. Its 'open season' guns a blazin.. kill any impediment to resource extraction, related extreme pollution, any level of protest. Its go for broke sellout to Big Energy. Dump any toxins in any body of water or runoff with Zero Oversight. Oh, Protected Species? They are near the bullseye<br /><br />Runaway government with majority control.. completely insanely.. out of control.. possibly beyond control.. the salamanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06853337802990122289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32931256.post-33555251308726604962017-03-01T23:30:00.287-08:002017-03-01T23:30:00.287-08:00The last I heard of him, Schreiber was said to be ...The last I heard of him, Schreiber was said to be living out his sentence in his mother-in-law's house.

I wonder what it must be like for the Obama crew to be watching this all unfold. The Giant Orange Demagogue is probably bordering on apoplexy.
