Enough time for him to testify before one or more congressional committees that will be controlled by Democrats, which I’m told he’s eager to do. Could yet have a big John Dean moment in this case. https://t.co/UY4ZUn8Gb6

In reply to Manafort's hearing Tues.,

So Cohen sentencing is Weds, so I was curious to check his Twitter feed and it's kind of strange, it seems like someone finally at peace,one on Dole @ Bush funeral, one wishing Happy Thanksgiving, one thanking a Vanity Fair reporter for fair hearing on Nov. 12, and then this one

Watching Becoming @MichelleObama on #abc2020 and pray that her words bring back unity to our country.

Manafort's hearing Tues., Cohen's sentencing and Butina's change of plea hearing Weds.:

So, the same day as Cohen's sentencing...luckily for tired journalists Manafort's hearing has been rescheduled from Wednesday to tomorrow https://t.co/gSpooJjm9w

In reply to SDNY is run by a Trump

FWIW Haberman "liked" this reply that elaborated on her comment:

“Everyone is as bad as me, so you might as well stick with me because I’ll fight your enemies” is the pitch https://t.co/pCwlt1Ppjr

He is always the outsider, never part of the swamp, even though he's supposed to be running it now. Poor dear appoints prosecutors he thinks he can trust and they just side with the deep state, it's an eternal battle.

SDNY is run by a Trump

SDNY is run by a Trump appointee. Trump over two years has tried to claim any opposition is a “Dem” to fit in a false and reductionist prism to delegitimize everyone as simply playing politics. https://t.co/klWQUSNQTL

Why did Trump tweet "smocking

In reply to #Smocking Gun seriously

Why did Trump tweet "smocking gun" instead of "smoking gun?"
The QAnon crew is on the case.

Possibly, "smocking" meant "gift wrap." Or Trump meant "mocking" as in "mocking bird media." Or maybe "smock" is referring to Hillary.

But whatever it is, it's not just a dumb mistake. pic.twitter.com/NiBj7tb8Fg

In reply to Mueller says Manafort lied about contacts with administration officials

#SmockingGun seriously trending.

I think: expect much more of the same. John Kelly doesn't care anymore, Hopey is long gone, Jvanka got their own shit to worry about, Kellyanne's hubby getting more media attention than Kellyanne....Crazytown goes meltdown, at least for a while, until there is more certainty about what he's actually up against? No way to spin it steady, no spellcheck even.

Contempt and indignation, however deserved, won’t end the presidency of Donald Trump. What’s needed is the operation of the law. That may be coming closer
