"SNIP.......

President Donald Trump’s lawyers have urged him not to discuss details of the unfolding Russia investigation with people outside his legal team, warning of a conversational “bright line” that could place aides and associates in legal jeopardy, according to current and former Trump aides.

But Trump often ignores that legal advice in the presence of senior aides — including his departing confidante and White House communications director, Hicks.

“I think the president has put her in a very precarious position,” a senior Trump administration official said in a recent interview.

Hicks is not alone. Current and former Trump aides describe a president who often fails to observe boundaries about the Russia probe and who calls staffers into his office and raises the subject without warning.

2. Every day I ask myself what I didwhat we didto deserve this

A complete psychopath who is also a moron with no smarts at all as our president.

I knew Republicans always go for the idiots for their nomination, but I had no way of knowing what a steep drop they would sink to after the already dumb and arrogant Dubz Bush.

6. decades of shitty RW hate media, fundie RW religion, and horrid schooling,

BUT above all else, LBJ nailed it



add in Republican gerymandering, voter suppression, and a shot of Comey (the reopening the email shit weeks before the election did a lot of damage and allowed it to be close enough to steal), 5 shots of Russia all over

some ice, shake

strain into a used McDonald's cup

and your have the Trump Toxic cocktail

3. She is going to be a BIG part if this

She has heard and been apart of more things with him while he's been in the White House, other than his partner in crime his son-in-law.

Hicks is smarter and tougher than some people may think, and has a perverse loyalty to 45. But, the thought of wearing a orange doc jumpsuit, will put her in the self-preservation mode real quick. She is in a person who will entertain the thought of going to jail for even a second.

8. agreed, she is going to sing like a canary to save her ass

4. Who would have thought

Who would have thought the person who said "Grab them by the pussy" would ever fail to observe boundaries. I am shocked I tell ya!

[gratuitous]

9. Sounds like Trump is taking folks down with him

Makes it tough to recruit replacement employees. Heh.
