Lanny Davis with Rachel M leaves with cliff-hanger that Mikey has knowledge about Trump's knowledge real early on about Russian hacking.

And he would be willing to share his knowledge with Mueller.

If true Trump is a guilty of treason.

Had tapes. They are with the southern district now, if not also the NYS AG. Mueller has at them any time he wants.

Congress critters, cabinet members, and clearly complicit children in the barrel next for their indictments.

Ross, Mnuchin, Bolton, Nunes, Pompeo, Don Jr., Jared, Ivanka step right up. Your sentences will be commensurate with the overinflation of your self worths.

Pence is as complicit as he is slimy. It will be tricky to make certain he doesn’t get away with his role in the conspiracy.

You mean 4th and 5th.

Sessions was 3rd.

And I don't know. They may already be gone!

It's exciting in an awful, I wish we could have avoided it, kind of way.

A propos yesterday's chat about Catholicism....

An Italian Altar Boy's Confession

"Bless me Father, for I have sinned. I have been with a loose girl."
The priest asks, "Is that you, little Dominic Savino?"
"Yes, Father, it is."
"And who was the girl you were with?"
"I can't tell you, Father. I don't want to ruin her reputation."
"Well, Dominic, I'm sure to find out her name sooner or later so you may as well tell me now. Was it Tina Minetti?"
"I cannot say."
"Was it Teresa Mazzarelli?"
"I'll never tell."
"Was it Nina Capelli?"
"I'm sorry, but I cannot name her."
"Was it Cathy Piriano?"
"My lips are sealed."
"Was it Rosa DiAngelo, then?"
"Please, Father, I cannot tell you."
The priest sighs in frustration. "You're very tight lipped, and I admire that. But you've sinned and have to atone.
You cannot be an altar boy now for 4 months. Now you go and behave yourself."
Joey walks back to his pew, and his friend Franco slides over and whispers,
"What'd you get?"
"Four months vacation and five good leads."

Perfect song for the Trump Era from Boz Scaggs's latest CD:

http://youtu.be/5Y23eWV1TAc

The rest of the album is quite good, too, btw, especially the cover of Neil Young's blues tune "On the Beach".

Neil wrote it during his drunk period, but Boz breathes new life into it.

Enjoy!

A compelling case fro voting for the Democrats, and one that will be made by others before November:

The tricky thing about these moves is that the decision is made at the level of leadership. House Republicans themselves don’t have to cast votes to unleash Devin Nunes or block release of Trump’s tax returns. Those decisions are made by House Speaker Paul Ryan, who is very sad about it, but who is also retiring and immune from accountability.

But this also makes the political choice very simple. Since there are no stand-alone votes on holding Trump accountable, party membership is the one salient question. Even if individual Republicans in Congress profess a desire to hold Trump accountable, if they are supporting a Republican majority, they are by definition supporting the cover-ups.

The only way to restrain Nunes’s anti-Mueller crusade, or to look at Trump’s tax return and see who was paid off by whom, is to replace the Republican majority with a Democratic majority, which will hold oversight hearings and use its subpoena power to probe the overflowing sewage spill of misconduct and lawbreaking surrounding Trump.

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2018/08/every-house-republican-actively-covering-up-trumps-crimes.html

And no, this doesn't mean candidates running against Trump need to talk about impeachment, although now that Trump is implicated in a felony, I don't see why that should be off-limits.  What is talked about here is the bare minimum of congressional responsibility to oversee the Executive. 

One could make the argument that Republicans in Congress are complicit in crimes, but at the very least, they aren't doing their jobs.
