And during the campaign, the NRA was the only organization that backed Trump with lots of cash. Makes a lot more sense if the cash they were throwing around wasn't their own.

Starting to think that by the end Trump is going to make Mike Flynn look, by comparison, almost decent.

Flynn seems to have flipped partially to protect his douchebag, pizza-gate-pushing son. You know, like most (even evil and traitorous) parents would to protect their children.

Trump, however, may have purposely let his son and namesake take all the more legally questionable meetings. Instead of trying to minimize his son's legal jeopardy, he seems to have magnified it. He trusts Jr. to relay things to him word-for-word and he also knows that Jr. is so psychologically broken by the way Trump treated him growing up that he'd never flip on his father; he'd go to prison instead in a desperate and futile attempt to prove himself and win his father's love and affection.

No matter how much I read about Trump I still, as a father myself, have trouble imagining a parent thinking of their own child as essentially expendable.
