Pavlov's Dog UPDATE: Mueller makes a new move, Trump schedules a rally in Pensacola for this Friday.

I didn't post the link to the tweet this time because as soon as you click on it, there is full-blast sort of "Hail To The Chief" marching band music.

WAIT...Don Jr spoke with Russian attorney RE: adoptions AND "illegal" Clinton Foundation donations?

WOW! What a multi-tasker.



Don Jr. asked Russian lawyer for intel on ‘illegal donations’ to Clinton Foundation: report

https://www.rawstory.com/2017/12/don-jr-asked-russian-lawyer-for-intel-on-illegal-donations-to-clinton-foundation-report/

During the infamous June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between members of Donald Trump’s campaign and Russian operatives close to the Kremlin, Donald Trump, Jr. reportedly asked for intelligence on “illegal donations” to the Clinton Foundation.

According to NBC News, Natalia Veselnitskaya told members of the Senate Judiciary Committee about Trump Jr.’s request. She also said she had no such information and “that she believes Trump misunderstood the nature of the meeting after receiving emails from a music promoter promising incriminating information on Hillary Clinton.”

Trump officially endorses Roy Moore in Alabama

Source: NBC News

President Donald Trump on Monday officially endorsed embattled Alabama GOP Senate candidate Roy Moore, who has been accused of sexual misconduct with teenage girls decades ago.

Trump called Moore and the men "discussed the state of the Alabama Senate race and the president endorsed Judge Moore's campaign," Principal Deputy White House Press Secretary Raj Shah said.

A short time later, Moore's campaign put out a statement thanking Trump for the endorsement.

The president had previously supported Moore but not used the word "endorsement" in his tweets or public comments.

Trump lawyer John Dowd claims the "President cannot obstruct justice"

John Dowd, President Trump's outside lawyer, outlined to me a new and highly controversial defense/theory in the Russia probe: A president cannot be guilty of obstruction of justice.

The "President cannot obstruct justice because he is the chief law enforcement officer under [the Constitution's Article II] and has every right to express his view of any case," Dowd claims.

Dowd says he drafted this weekend's Trump tweet that many thought strengthened the case for obstruction: The tweet suggested Trump knew Flynn had lied to the FBI when he was fired, raising new questions about the later firing of FBI Director James Comey.

Dowd: "The tweet did not admit obstruction. That is an ignorant and arrogant assertion."

Countdown to wailing and gnashing of teeth when Red Hats enjoy their Trump-branded tax increase

I'm reminded of watching "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom" as a child, when the peaceful pack of gazelles would be relaxing by a pond, and the lions would swoop down on them and start eating.

It's boner city for the mega-rich today..."THANK you, President Trump!"

For everyone else, not so much. Next stop: Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.

But at least Mitch is smiling.

Running through that maze in the snow with Bob Mueller behind him yelling "JARED! JARED! I'm comin for ya, JAR!"

Couldn't happen to a nicer prick.
