“I like Andy, but this is weak sauce. There’s nothing illegal here.”

I agree.

This seems to me to be just another element of Mueller’s Judas-shopping expedition.

This is just another example of the “Lawfare” that the Dems have used against Sen Kay Bailey Hutchison, Rep. Tom DeLay and Gov. Mike Walker. This also was done against Sen. Ted Stevens. The Dems politicize the judicial system to go after their opponents. All 4 of the cases that I mentioned were shown to be frivolous, but that didn’t matter. The Dems harassed the Republicans, causing great distraction and big lawyer costs. This is the type of thing that goes on in banana republics, but it is what the Dems have been doing for the past 15-20 years. We are getting a good look at the evil that the Dems have embraced. If and when they regain power, they will literally do almost anything to not lose it.

I’m thinking Trump’s lawyers read this whole thing wrong by being compliant with this investigation early on. They should have known from the get-go that this was always about removing him from office, period.

These politicians are treading on dangerous ground if they think Trump’s sex life is a prosecutable issue.

They could be next.

REASONING: Trump knows plenty about all of them-—all about THEIR sordid sex lives.

Consider that wealthy Trump was the go-to guy for campaign donations.

Money-hungry candidates spilled plenty of secrets about themselves and their opponents to get bigger donations.

After all, Trump was chick-bait......ran Miss USA contests. The felt at-home talking about their intimacies.......

Maybe some of them even asked Trump for beauty queen phone numbers?

That would be schadenfreude......some of the beauty queens talking to reporters about politicians’ sex escapades.

ROTFLOL.

"I believe that the government is investigating whether there was, in connection with Trump’s White House bid, a conspiracy to commit fraud and extortion for the purpose of silencing potentially compromising sources . . . "

I think McCarthy has it backwards: it is NOT a crime to be a "womanizer," but it sounds like blackmail when a female and her attorney demand payment from the male to buy silence on her part. Usually the RECIPIENT of the money is the blackmailer.

National Review is utter garbage and should go out of business.

"The extortion, if there is any, comes from the women and their lawyer demanding money for silence."

I agree completely. McCarthy is usually pretty good, but this seems off-the-charts wrong.

The Left are so far down Delusion St. that they have no ability to discern the raw, molten, white-hot anger that is building in the hearts of Americans who themselves are stunned at the sheer effrontry of this Criminal Party. The Left thing it is a game that they can cheat to any degree that they want. The Left can’t imagine that there is a limit. They believe they only have to lie more and cheat better.

Trump should tweet that Cohen ran his “bimbo eruption” office. And that he consulted Hillary and she suggested he destroy the women’s reputation. But he decided to give them money instead because he’s not greedy like the Clintons.

Sounds like Andrew McCarthy is laboring under the common Swamp delusion that MILLIONS of p*ssed-off Deplorables are gonna let the Left roll them for the Presidency.

They'll keep believing it right up to the moment the first couple dozen go up on the DC cherry trees...

It would be interesting to back into French history and research how long the nobles were laboring under the delusion that nothing was going to happen to them at the hands of the enraged sans-culottes...

Indeed.

And never forget that WE are the government, in the very end of all things.

The Swamp has forgotten that...

Having said that, I worried during the campaign that a billionaire NY playboy of Trumps statute has skeletons in his closet.

Why? This is GREAT.

Trump has shown us what the DC criminals will do to retain power.

They mean to use it on us, after they remove Trump.

This business with Trump makes our choice easy. Rule 223, or Rule 308...

SDNY has been proven to be a Viper Pit.

Remember that corrupt old slut Mary Jo White, from the impeachment wars?
