Discobot, some analysis please.
Putin leads the way!!!
I wonder what level of horse sedative they needed to keep Trump from exploding.
I’ll put good money on that he doesn’t even know about the Parnas docs yet. I refuse to believe that he has nothing to say about those.
My guess is that this trial will have a lot of surprises. Having the Parnas docs released to the press yesterday was probably just a preview. As Josh Marshall commented a few weeks ago, it’s the Senate Republicans, not Trump, who are on trial here. As more and more evidence gets dumped on them proving Trump’s obvious guilt, we can all watch them squirm while trying to ignore it.
It should be very entertaining indeed to see just how much of this Republicans can take.
And word on the street is, that which we saw last night was only the tip of the iceberg.
