		<description>It looks like Robert Kraft has got himself yet another Big Ring to make up for the one Putin took from him.

http://fortune.com/2017/02/06/patriots-owner-kraft-putin-ring/

And just a hop, skip, and a jump from Mar-a-Lago... you don&#039;t say. #ProstitutionRing 

If you&#039;re thinking that it&#039;s no coincidence that all this Jeffrey Epstein and human trafficking/pedophilia stuff is coming out now, then you&#039;ve been paying attention. 

Lock them up, lock them up, lock them up!
&lt;b&gt;Regardless of Party and Party be damned. &lt;/b&gt;

It&#039;s all downhill from here; buckle up.</description>

		<description>I see the 25th Amendment as just a second Trigger on the Impeachment Blunderbuss.  It makes some practical sense. Cabinet members and the VP may get to see things at work, or around a hospital bed, that the House O&#039; Reps doesn&#039;t down at The Captital. 

The triggers fire the same projectile, but the size of the impeachment bullseye is bigger when the house pulls the trigger.</description>

		<description>If McCabe and Rosenstein saw fit to discuss the 25th, so can we. However as we all know, the real issue afoot is to defeat Donald Trump by voting based on pie.</description>

&lt;i&gt;Just another example of Kick seeing what Kick wants to see. &lt;/i&gt;

If you genuinely believe your BS is a &quot;real issue&quot; yet continue unabated with that repetitive &quot;beg and blame&quot; routine you&#039;ve worn out on this forum, then I&#039;d say it&#039;s patently obvious who is seeing what they want to see. :)</description>

Congratulations goes out to Don Harris for finally figuring out after all these years that his &quot;One Demand&quot; is absolutely and unequivocally &quot;such a non-issue.&quot; 

Cheers on your breakthrough, Don; you are living proof that some of us are slow learners but eventually do come around... ever so slowly. :)</description>

&lt;i&gt;No, no, what you&#039;re ALL missing is that this conversation was part of a larger conversation going on, to wit:

What if the President is a tool of Russia? &lt;/i&gt;

Bingo! Yes, sir... absolutely more than one &quot;ignorant tool,&quot; and that was the thrust of McCabe&#039;s presentation to the Gang of 8 which, at that time, included Devin Nunes... ignorant tool of the suspected ignorant tool.

The investigation into obstruction regarding Trump was never really on a separate track, as it was obvious based on the facts known at the time (many of them public), that obstruction had occurred.  

Having said that, whether or not obstruction will be charged based on the known facts is an &lt;b&gt;entirely different conversation&lt;/b&gt;, and that applies to all the &quot;ignorant tools&quot; who violate the law; some are pursued via prosecution, some are dealt with via other methods, etc... think Jason Chaffetz (among others), but I digress. 

&lt;i&gt;And they began brainstorming ways to get him out of office. Of course the 25th came up. I&#039;m sure a bunch of things were considered and abandoned. But then serendipity landed in their laps: Sessions had to recuse. &lt;/i&gt;

Sessions had already recused on March 2; the FBI was well aware long before that time that if Sessions was confirmed as AG that he would have to recuse himself regarding the Russia investigation because facts and lying... which history has shown lying under oath or to Congress and/or agents of the DOJ is a universal occurrence of &lt;b&gt;almost&lt;/b&gt; every single one of the MAGAts, but again I digress. 

Comey was fired 2 months later on May 9, and the meeting with the two Sergey&#039;s in the Oval where Trump stated, &quot;I just fired the head of the FBI. He was crazy, a real nut job,&quot; occurred &lt;b&gt;one day&lt;/b&gt; after Comey&#039;s firing. &quot;I faced great pressure because of Russia. That&#039;s taken off.&quot; &lt;---- Ignorant Tool.  

&lt;i&gt;Rosenstein named a Special Counsel, and the rest is recent history. &lt;/i&gt;

A nice brainstorming session with a right proper outcome. 
 
&lt;i&gt;But Trump is still trying to shut it down. So certain were they that within hours of Barr getting into office they were leaking that Mueller was done.
Meuller isn&#039;t done. &lt;/i&gt;

When &lt;i&gt;All In The Family&lt;/i&gt; aired its last show in 1979, &lt;i&gt;Archie Bunker’s Place&lt;/i&gt; and other spinoffs continued to air. :)

&lt;i&gt;Wonder what Barr will do?&lt;/i&gt;

So does Trump. Poor Donald was unaware that Mueller and Barr were such good friends. It almost seems like Trump was led down the garden path. *laughs*</description>

Yep, pretty much.  Unless Trump voluntarily decides to go along with it and not fight it, but that&#039;s a pretty remote possibility...

Balthasar [3] -

That&#039;s probably pretty close to what happened.

		<description>The right-wing MSM is also referring to McCabe&#039;s opening of a counterintelligence investigation of the president as a &quot;deep-state coup,&quot; which is equally ridiculous since McCabe met with the &quot;Gang of 8&quot; to inform them the FBI had opened a counterintelligence investigation into Trump after the firing of former FBI director James Comey, and not a single one of them had any objection based on his presentation of the facts known at that time. 

Devin Nunes then ran straight to the White House/Trump to inform regarding everything, we&#039;ve watched it play out in real time ever since, and that is why I referred to Devin Nunes as an &quot;ignorant tool.&quot;  

http://www.chrisweigant.com/2017/03/21/counting-the-votes/#comment-97039

And now that Nunes has been Trump&#039;s &quot;ignorant tool&quot; for multiple years, he could certainly tell us what it&#039;s like to work for a madman; however, I would wager Mikey Cohen will beat him to it. :)</description>

		<description>thank you for clearing that up. so basically it&#039;s a three week coup... and unless two thirds of both houses of congress back the VP, the president takes over again when the three weeks are up?</description>
