“Everybody was in on it.”

We’ve heard this before. Gordon Sondland comes to mind.

How can anyone claim innocence for the Acting pResident and his crooked cabal at this point?

and they really don't care what we, the rest of the country or the rest of the world, think.
Pendejo45 will not get removed from office, even if there is video of Pendejo45 shooting someone in the Oval Office.

We'll need to come to terms with that, and then go after them once Democrats are in control.

He could also implicate most if not all who are involved, and others will follow Bolton telling the truth implicating these people also. Moscow Mitch has to be having a lot of sleepless nights knowing he could be exposed soon too. He knows if he refuses to convict it will come back to bite him, and it will maybe sooner than people think. Speaker Pelosi knows that too, and has more to come out against them.Republicans are about to be exposed , and one this morning has had the FBI do a search for evidence . Hyde is in trouble. a lot of trouble now. Lev Parnas is just the start of damaging information that'll expose them all.

... we already had testimony that he found out about the Ukraine scam -- and vigorously objected to it. He's the only one of the high level folks who did not go along with it. His refusal to testify now somewhat undercuts that, but still.

Republicans will allow this President to continue... As he said, he could shoot and kill someone on 5th avenue and no one would bat an eye.

Or can an AG be impeached? I'm not sure. But this scandal has its tentacles embedded so deeply in this administration that I don't think we will ever be able to get to the bottom of it and get rid of everybody involved.

Source of this is especially appropriate for Trump & Co:

Wikipedia:

May you Live in Interesting Times

"May you live in interesting times" is an English expression which purports to be a translation of a traditional Chinese curse. While seemingly a blessing, the expression is normally used ironically; life is better in "uninteresting times" of peace and tranquility than in "interesting" ones, which are usually times of trouble.

A suggestion for Trump:
Get all your co-conspirators together, and get all your lies synchronized.
Then stock up on Adderall, UK Sudafed, Depends and your favourite foods.
Then tough it out. You can cope with the stress, your doctors have given you a clean bill of health, after all. /sarcasm

I suspect Putin had his Russian mobsters doing the surveillance for him and trump for dirt on the American Ambassador and when she refused to leave the mob discussed extreme measures to get someone and who was doing illegal corrupt into her position for Putin and trump to get the gas plant deal through, which Putin and trump would be funneled their cuts to them from it. I also think Parnas knows all about it but is scared to out Putin and the mob. Putin and trump could just deny they knew or played any part of her surveillance , or threats they likely they discussed but was picked up by our intel.This smells of Putin and his tactics to use to deny his involvement, and now for trump also . When they trace all of hydes phone calls they'll have direct links , and parnas's too to putins handlers, and others.
