> [@dasmoocher](#): > > Mmm…Stop with those thoughts. > > What piss me of today were the reports that Trump wanted to interfere with who’s the prosecutor in the NY investigations of his cronies. Of course CFSG [condemns](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6725321/Furious-Trump-calls-New-York-Times-report-tried-smother-investigations-false.html) the report — by the Failed New York Times™ — as “fake news.” What I find more troubling than the fact that he may have tried to put Berman in charge of the Cohen investigation (I’d actually be more surprised if he _didn’t_ attempt to install a crony there) is that if Berman hadn’t suffered an attack of ethics and recused himself, CFSG may well have gotten his wish. ---

> [@Aspenglow](#): > > Personally, I think it’s big. If it happens, it changes the entire calculus in the Middle East – and not in any way to our benefit. Plus, it’s illegal. Not illegal that the Saudis want to build nuclear reactors for power generation – but the implementation that allows the Saudis to make their own power generation uranium and therefore puts them a small step away from enriching uranium for use in bombs. That’s what is illegal. > > Can you think of anything that will get Iran to quickly and fully abandon the nuclear agreement spearheaded by Kerry in 2015 that we’ve now pulled out of and is hanging by a thread thanks to the EU, than a nuclearized Saudi Arabia? I can’t. So, you know, Israel, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Pakistan and India all with nuclear capability in the Middle East… that should go well. > > I think people are exhausted and numb to the number of violations this “administration” commits on a daily basis, so serious stuff like this slips through with hardly a notice. You’re wise to pay attention to it. > > Rhetorical question: Is there anything that isn’t for sale to the detriment of our national interests by this criminal gang? I can see why Putin adores Trump. I can’t wait for Sarah Sanders to spin this one - The President didn’t need to do this. He just wanted Armageddon to go much faster. ---
