    So is that a yes or no?

    I don't know if it is a yes or no question.

    Okay, I just couldn't pass on that one.

    Of course. Which is why I said "theoretically" rather than "definitively".

    yes to team Trump collusion...no to Trump being able to be tied to collusion through the team
    yes to Trump being found guilty of perjury and obstruction of justice and maybe witness tampering when his guys were under fire...attacking the lead prosecutor is not going to help his cause

    Ah, there's our disconnect. In my mind, "drill baby drill" was not connected to gas prices so much as reducing dependence on foreign production.

    If they find him guilty I think many moderates, independents and conservatives will stand by it. But the extremist on both sides won’t.
    I think when Willy was found guilty most on both sides believed it. There needs to be those on all sides willing to work together rather than constantly fighting.

    Thanks for the offer but I don’t bet on politics.
    I’m probably wrong but I really think Hillary feels annoited to the position and no one will get in her way if she chooses too run.

    Obama was right. It was a damn bumper sticker not a policy.

    So basically your position is that you know more about Hillary's plans than the 20-some democrats that are planning their own runs for president.

    I'm not sure that passes the sniff test.

    The big question of Trump knowing or not could be hidden in the phone call before the meeting and after the meeting between Donnie jr. and an unknown blocked number. If Mueller is able to uncover that and it was Trump, then that ties him to the conspiracy/collusion part.

    I actually don't think that's a huge deal. Even if it turns out the call was to Trump, unless there is a tape of it they can claim they were talking about dinner, or incest, or whatever.

    Like I said Im probably wrong but knowing how she covets that position and feels entitled, and there seems to some in her camp thank think she could?
    She's the kind of gal that will go through people to get what she wants, and it wouldn't surprise me one bit for her with Bills help, to lobby support from elite democrats. I hope she doesnt run, but we all know what here desire in life is right?
    There is no way she will allow an E Warren or Harris or any other gal to step in front of her for the prize. Barfo, it just my wild ass guess!

    I have no idea what you're referencing not believing for a second but hey.....nice chart! My point is Trump obviously has fall guys for the Russian play or we'd know about it already...he could very well have knowledge of the attempts but where he fucked up is attacking Mueller and witnesses during the Mannafort and Cohen trials as well as trying to get Tillerson and Comey to play ball..well that and lying about knowing these things ...I still say they can get Trump on obstruction and perjury...doubt they'll get him on collusion...now Don Jr...there's a guy who be in deep shit....Kushner has been suspiciously off the radar for quite a long stretch now
