Russia probe reaches White House

An unnamed current White House official described as being “close” to the president is being viewed as a significant person of interest, according to the Washington Post.

This coincides with another report about someone trying to climb over the White House fence. However, this one was trying to escape.

Let’s hear some wild speculation–if it’s someone close to the president, and it’s not the president, who do we think it might be? Sessions? Bannon? Someone else?

Jared

Ivanka.

All of the above.

Melania’s real name is Natasha.

Build… That… Wall!!!

Build… That… Wall!!!

Kill moose and squirrel!

Jared is certainly plausible. Bannon hasn’t been at it long enough to have been a part of Trump’s businesses, so any financial angle wouldn’t make sense, and all of Trump’s Russian-linked buddies aren’t in the White House (Flynn, Manafort, Stone).

I doubt that Ivanka would be guilty of anything that Jared isn’t, and the guy is always the one who takes the fall, so she’s probably safe.

That leaves Jared or one of Trump’s bodyguards (Keith Schiller, Gary Uher, etc.)

ETA: Forgot about Melania. No idea on her. That’d be a HELL of a surprise to have the FLOTUS arrested. So much for Presidential immunity!

The youngsters have no idea what it was like back in the good 'ol days of the Cold War. The Ruskies were the bad guys, but they were the GOOD bad guys. I mean, we had an understanding!!! All that is lost now. :frowning:

Barron.

It’s always the one you least suspect.

They pointed nuclear weapons at us. We pointed nuclear weapons at them. And everyone was really polite.

My bet too.

And mine.

Probably he’s a Russian midget super spy.

DT: “But you told me he was our kid!”
MT: “No, remember, you introduced us!”
DT: “Was that before or after our meeting with Boris and Sergei?”

Yeah, it would have to be someone who had been with the campaign early on. Bannon wasn’t brought in until after the Russian interference came to light. Let’s hope so, as Jared’s arrest would hurt the Trumps personally, not just politically.

White House Counsel Whats-his-face. He’s a lawyer. Any questions?

Probably his bodyguard, Keith Schiller.

The current theorycrafting (all unsourced, for what it’s worth) is that he copied Comey’s computer on May 9th and handed it over to the Russians.

I hope Trump is pleased with the shitty way he treated the Washington Post during the campaign, that couldn’t possibly come back to bite him. The nimrod. Those guys have been relentless. Good.

Breaking into the FBI directors office and stealing his computer files… the comparisons to Watergate are just amazing.

But… These allegations are just too good to be true.
