I'm sure he didn't mean it in a legal sense. We are after all talking about someone who literally appointed his own family members to White House positions, like a f**k mafioso.

Kane, we already knew that information prior to Donald getting the nomination. Discussions for a Trump tower were going on as he was winning the primaries.
We all know Trump has been a dirtbag in business, but as for being corrupt in office that’s a different story and it’s something we can’t quite determine yet early enough in his presidency.

The results of any investigation would be a "smear", "witch hunt", "hit job", "liberal whatever", etc etc and would be disregarded. So what, fstar, is the goddamned point? It's alternative facts no matter what.
For f**k's sake we've already got a special counsel and lawsuits and investigations at basically every level of the US intelligence apparatus....but look how easily trump simply negates it all via twitter. Look how his deer-in-the-headlights supporters declare it all a big nothing, even as the damned President of the United States crows on twitter about his indisputable power to pardon himself!!!
!!!WTF!!!
And it's always, "Well, we don't really know..." The ultimate limp dick copout.
Every step of this humiliating journey it's been the same, "Well, we don't really know..." from these types. And yet the shit keeps piling up in such a regular cadence one can't help but suspect it was planned out years ago.

Context:

Putin is telling the EU that he "told them so" about the US imposing its will on them. So naturally Trump does this:

https://www.vox.com/world/2018/6/8/1744 ... -g7-summit
Trump wants Russia back in the G-7 and is openly advocating for it.
Guys, it's time to come to Jesus.

"Police protection" is an oxymoron. Gun laws are like masturbation, they both feel really good, but after you're done you realize you haven't accomplished anything."
