that's why his base is solid-they are the american racists.

Pirro appears to be just fine with crime. Lock her up. She's a conspiracist. Ask anyone of her production staff. In fact, interrogate them because they do not have immunity! Enhance the interrogation. We're told to do it by the examples of other powerful leaders. Leaders that are close friends of Donald Trump. Leaders he has met, has liked, and who have never served him coffee! Vlad says so. Kim says so. Duterte says so. The Saudi royals all say so! UnConstitutional is just an excuse! Don says so. Stop the illegal witch hunt hoax! Unlike Don and his walleyed toady, Pirro, witches never hurt anyone.

What Parnas apparently wants is not to get whacked to keep him quiet, which he can ensure by telling all.

Remember all those people in the Reagan administration who were indicted and/or went to prison, and how his was the most corrupt administration in modern history, and how bad that was? We call that "the good old days."

Yes, it does make sense that he'd be safer if he had no secrets, and that he'd understand that fact.

And it also would make sense for his lawyer to know that perjury is not in his client's best interest.

Once Trump found out the people around him were criminals he could distance himself and say he will have nothing left to do with them and their crimes will prosecuted because no one is above the law.

instead, he defends them until the public outcry gets too much for him. then he pushes them out the door gently. then he'll still defend them even though they are not his employee anymore.

Once Upon a Time used to hold me up for a few minutes at a time shooting scenes. They even closed a road sometimes in downtown Steveston. https://uploads.disquscdn.c...

Yes. I am. It's kinda a cool city. We've cleaned it up. Our reputation....mmmmm not so much. But last time the wonk-family was here I showed Wonktoddler how to throw rocks at the Pgh-popo outside a brew pub.

I'd have blamed setting a cops prowler on fire....but daddy (eye role) took her back inside Penn Brewery.

We were just starting to have fun.

It's a tightrope. On the one hand you can get a free buffet, if you look self important or have a tool belt. Or brag that you live/work in that area when it's on the silver screen.

On the other hand you have to walk 6 blocks out of the way to get the bus when wind chill is 3°F.

I'd add that the Dems are likely smart enough that they're not going to spout a bunch of clearly made up stuff that would undermine their credibility.

Also, I couldn't agree more with your likely scenario--Parnas is spilling the beans and the GOP doesn't care at all. If he were making all of this up, you'd think he make up more outlandish things that might get the GOP het up.

Oh, God--I really hope so! Just like I hope Liz and her husband crack up about her cougar sexxxy-times.
