    Does Pence think, or know, that Trash is doomed?

    Pence vs. Trump civil war ripples through the West Wing as Pence positions himself for misfortune

    Mike Pence has been elbowing his way into position to lead the Republican Party. One example: even though Trump declined to anoint a successor for the seat of retiring Texas Rep. Jeb Hensarling,

    Pence happily tweeted his support to the candidate of Hensarling's choosing, Bunni Pounds.

    While Mr. Trump remains an overpowering personality in Republican politics,

    he is mostly uninterested in the mechanics of managing a political party.

    His team of advisers is riven with personal divisions and

    the White House has not yet crafted a strategy for the midterms.

    So Mr. Trump’s supremely disciplined running mate has stepped into the void.

    Republican officials now see Mr. Pence as seeking to exercise expansive control over a political party ostensibly helmed by Mr. Trump,

    Pence is such a perfect evangelical leader: Claiming his fealty to something in principle, but ultimately just using it to his political advantage in practice.

    Word of the internal tensions is getting out beyond the walls of the White House: one prominent lawmaker said the complaints of high-ranking Trump officials were starting to circulate on Capitol Hill.

    Most brazenly, Marty Obst, a senior Pence adviser, told a Republican donor that Mr. Pence wanted to be prepared for the next presidential race in case there was an opening.

    Pootin's took his cue from Trash's "MX rapist" candidacy announcement, and had his cyber army inflame White Iden y Politics, fully aligned with Trash's own inflaming of hate, anger, paranoia, racism, nativism, chauvinism, machism, xenophobia

    When Russian trolls wanted to divide America, they knew what to use: race

    Mueller has REALLY got the goods on Manafort. He must have found some serious Manafort crimes going back years.

    Mueller: Secret Court Order Suspended Statute Of Limitations On Manafort Charge

    https://talkingpointsmemo.com/muckra...0%28TPMNews%29


    When will Manafort stop defending himself and start helping Mueller?

    and Wilbur Ross's Bank of Cyprus always in the game!

    Trash is much more scared of Mueller than Mueller would be of Repugs and his targets' defense lawyers.

    anonymous sources good now

    Also, based on recent court do ents in Flynn’s case there appears to be a possibility that a judge could vacate his guilty plea and Flynn could walk away a free man.

    still pushing this crap
    "appears to be"
    "possibility"
    "could vacate"
    "could walk away"

    qualifiers good now

    yeah... so that non-public rosenstein memo has held up a couple times now. held up in the civil matter earlier, and now in a criminal case.

    to be clear, this is a separate criminal charge from the one being heard by Judge Ellis, who had harsher words last week. Still no ruling on that one.

    Was this the same one who critique Mueller about a week ago?

    Get ready for the ST Trumpers to turn on him.

    no. see post above. but he can still face jail time on these charges even if the other one is dropped for whatever reason. this one is for money laundering and failing to register as a foreign agent. the other one is for tax and bank fraud

    but it's addressing the identical issue/question: the scope of mueller's investigation, and whether manafort's charges fall under that

    i'm surprised they haven't turned on judge sullivan yet, since he hasn't vacated Flynn's guilty plea yet

    Even if Flynn were pardoned/vindicated today, he's been cooperating with the SC investigation for about half a year.

    lol

    The very worst case scenario is the SC investigation still has all the information it got from Flynn.
