somewhere in the shadows, Mike Pence straightens out his tie, cracking a rare full-teeth-smile

... The president in this document is asking his counterpart to deliver the goods on a possible electoral opponent. And he is doing it himself. There is no plausible deniability. If this is not collusion in precisely the sense that collusion’s absence was purportedly so exculpatory in the Russia context, it’s hard to imagine what collusion would look like. And unlike the conduct described in Volume I of the Mueller report, the president is no longer a private citizen. Now, he is actually corruptly wielding the powers of his office in order to achieve this abusive end. This represents a dramatic escalation in severity.

Guys, it's over. Stop doubting that it's over. There's so many fuckin' crimes going on here, we got all the crimes! 50 cents a crime, commit ya crime while ya still can, folks, 'cuz the crimin' is gettin' hot!!

Here's the problem: in some finite amount of time before he's removed from office, Trump will find out that he's going to be removed from office. Which is either going to be really really bad, or is the thing he wanted all along. I mean, how magnificently stupid do you need to be to have done this? Fantastically.

ghostoffuffle, you can get drunk tonight for entirely the opposite reason you did last week, buddy.
