Avenatti is hilarious. I'm sure he's just doing whatever he thinks will cause Trump the most annoyance.  He's a master troll.

Whew I'm sure it's bugging the shyte out of Trump. But hey ya never know, nobody thought Trump was likely to win. I have this image of Stormy sitting in the front row winking at Donald during the debates.

Manafort's defense rests without making a case...WOW!. He's only facing 300 + years in prison if convicted. Does this mean he is flipping on Trump bigly?

Or has he been promised a pardon if he shuts up and is convicted?

If that happens he should be arrested on the court stairs on a warrant from New York to be held until his state trial on the same charges.

Trump, Manafort, Amarosa etc.  They're all a bunch of lowlifes. Get out the popcorn and enjoy the entertainment as they go about tearing each other apart. Hopefully.

I hear that Omarosa has been interviewed by Mueller today. That may be good for another round of popcorn.

She said she was interviewed by his team, but was evasive on when. My suspicion is that it was very superficial, perhaps a phone call with a couple of questions. She certainly seems to be opening the door to have an interview.

Pardoning a co-conspirator could be impeachable.

Trump could shoot people in the street and this congress wouldn't impeach him.

Well..

Yes but maybe no.  They are electing more people from marginalized groups but the senior leadership doesn't like it.

Also they look and sound more like real people so they may strike a chord with the electorate.

The path to certain victory lies in moving right, to draw in all the voters the Republicans have abandoned by moving too far to their right. The Democrats appear set to move left instead. And while many commentators said the major cause of their loss last time was ignoring the concerns of middle America this time they seem intent on actually deliberately giving the finger to middle America. It's sanctimonious stupidity if it gives Trump a path to re-election.
