"This is what happens when a target is getting buggy

because he knows he's caught" - Malcolm Nance on Morning Joy discussing Trump's latest twitter raging about wiretaps. He thinks Trump and Co. want to understand how intel was collected so they can better cover up the Russian connections.

6. Trump may be building a defense that he was oblivious to the crime like Reagan in Iran-Contra

In the Iran-Contra scandal, people were ready to believe Reagan was out of the loop because his mental status -the stories about how he conflated his movie roles with his actual life..


The Iran-Contra criminals were pardoned by George H W Bush when he became president in 1989. In doing so he also effectively pardoned himself because those pardoned had no incentive to provide the prosecutor Walsh, with information on the Bush role.

There is a pattern in these scandals from Watergate to Trump. They are Republican

Nixon resigns after appointing Gerald Ford VP, Ford becomes president and pardons Nixon.

Reagan administration colludes with Iran and the Contra forces (terrorists), his VP pardons the conspirators.

Trump campaign and administration colludes with Russians..................

the Republican Party has gotten steadily worse as equality and diversity has increased. There is an underlying attitude of "we are the real America and we have the right to do anything we want to preserve "our America" to which the rest of you do not belong.
