Palace intrigue

Trump is going to fire Rosenstein Sunday when the interview with Comey airs.

It's too perfect of an opportunity.

Over/under?

so Micheal Cohen is under criminal investigation according to the DOJ

the question is does Trump just pardon Micheal Cohen

lmao

so in Constitution 2.0, I think we need to rethink pardoning power.

it shouldn't be the CJ who pardons because he can pardon his way out of not having to deal with thorny issues. instead, no one that the president himself has any form of known personal relationship with (himself included) can be pardoned by the president. they'll have to wait until the next president whom they have no prior relationship with is in office. this means Ford would have been unable to pardon Nixon, for example

a commission under purview the new investigative, bureaucratic branch must review and make sure that the president has no personal relationship with the person being pardoned, but that's all they do. a precise definition of this can be created, but it's mainly business dealings, friendships, and any sort of employment as a direct report. they have one week to find anything (because it basically has to be obvious) and if they do, the executive can appeal directly to the supreme court

lol

Pence tries to appoint a deputy working under Haley at the UN as his NSA and Trump doesn't back it because he was a never trumper. Poor guy probably won't be working under Haley for long now too.

Sean Hannity was a client of Michael Cohen.

Small world.

what f**k timeline is this

[Spider]

Not sure this is much of a problem for anyone. Fox viewers are probably perfectly happy at a link between trump and Hannity. Such a naked conflict of interest sails directly over their heads.

It has become a daisy chain of lawyers, prostituting anyone for anything.

Haley said "she doesn't get confused" in addressing Larry Kudlow's claim that she was confused on whether the sanctions on Russia would go through on Monday.
