But McGahn didn't know, prior to the Trump tweet. nt Grasswire2 Aug 2018 #20

It makes no sense to send that as a tweet on ANY level.

He might as well have just tweeted "OMG!!!!".

without adult supervision (like McGahn). As soon as Trump goes after Sessions and Mueller, all hell is going to break lose. Trump's worst instincts will take over. All sides will take to the streets. Trump may be challenged with impeachment, insurrection, or coup. It won't be pretty.

This amendment insures that the punishments for crimes are not excessive, cruel, or unusual. From the Constitution. Here is the text of the Eighth Amendment from the Constitution: "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." Excessive Bail.

What is that about I wonder ?

By referencing the 8th Amendment, Conway is saying that no one, not even McGahn should be enduring the cruel punishment of working for Donnie.
