First charges filed in Trump-Russia investigation

Amused to learn of Bush Sr's admission today  (from a forthcoming book co-authored by both Bush presidents) that he voted for Clinton, calling Trump a "blowhard". Spaceyesque deflection from David-Cop-a-feel-gate, though I doubt he ever packed Tic Tacs for pussy grabbing.

Take a look at the Carter Page interviews , its almost a please oh god , please, me next for a plea but no camp is sure he is just a village idiot . Not sure SNL could do this driftwood justice .

Its amazing to think that had Clinton not rigged the election the US would now have President Sanders - the first self proclaimed socialist.

NYT: A Split From Trump Indicates That Flynn Is Moving to Cooperate With Mueller

WASHINGTON — Lawyers for Michael T. Flynn, President Trump’s former national security adviser, notified the president’s legal team in recent days that they could no longer discuss the special counsel’s investigation, according to four people involved in the case, an indication that Mr. Flynn is cooperating with prosecutors or negotiating such a deal.

Mr. Flynn’s lawyers had been sharing information with Mr. Trump’s lawyers about the investigation by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, who is examining whether anyone around Mr. Trump was involved in Russian efforts to undermine Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

That agreement has been terminated, the four people said. Defense lawyers frequently share information during investigations, but they must stop when doing so would pose a conflict of interest. It is unethical for lawyers to work together when one client is cooperating with prosecutors and another is still under investigation.

The notification alone does not prove that Mr. Flynn is cooperating with Mr. Mueller. Some lawyers withdraw from information-sharing arrangements as soon as they begin negotiating with prosecutors. And such negotiations sometimes fall apart.

Still, the notification led Mr. Trump’s lawyers to believe that Mr. Flynn — who, along with his son, is seen as having significant criminal exposure — has, at the least, begun discussions with Mr. Mueller about cooperating.
