I just don’t understand how Trump thought he’d get away with everything. It’s a lot different being a head of state than it is being a crooked NYC real estate developer:

He sure acts guilty

Her Husband Beat Her and Raped Her. Jeff Sessions Might Deport Her.

Breaking news last night from the New York Times. Trump asked Jeff Sessions to walk back his recusal. If Trump wasn’t guilty, why would it matter?

When they met, Mr. Trump was ready to talk — but not about the travel ban. His grievance was with Mr. Sessions: The president objected to his decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation. Mr. Trump, who had told aides that he needed a loyalist overseeing the inquiry, berated Mr. Sessions and told him he should reverse his decision, an unusual and potentially inappropriate request.

Mr. Sessions refused.

The confrontation, which has not been previously reported, is being investigated by the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, as are the president’s public and private attacks on Mr. Sessions and efforts to get him to resign. Mr. Trump dwelled on the recusal for months, according to confidants and current and former administration officials who described his behavior toward the attorney general.

The special counsel’s interest demonstrates Mr. Sessions’s overlooked role as a key witness in the investigation into whether Mr. Trump tried to obstruct the inquiry itself. It also suggests that the obstruction investigation is broader than it is widely understood to be — encompassing not only the president’s interactions with and firing of the former F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, but also his relationship with Mr. Sessions.

Duck and cover: The sh*tstorm is finally here

General Michael Flynn: "D'oh!"

I’m not going to try to write it all, I’ll just give you the links. I suggest you read them all:

BREAKING: Grand jury subpoenas have been issued related to June 2016 meeting between Donald Trump Jr., Russian lawyers and others – sources

APNewsBreak: Flynn details tie to data firm, transition pay (that’s Robert Mercer’s Cambridge Analytica)

Ryan Goodman‏//Buried many paras deep in CNN story is this bombshell —
Possible evidence of Manafort at heart of collusion with Russia

Wall Street Journal‏: The New York property development business owned by Jared Kushner’s family has been subpoenaed

Haaretz.com‏// Bombshell: Israel Police confirm Benjamin Netanyahu suspected of bribery, fraud, breach of trust in 2 separate cases

I included this because of persistent rumors Bibi is linked somehow to the Russian money laundering. Who knows?

So there’s more than one grand jury in Virginia with one looking into Flynn, the one in DC looking into Trump, and at least one in NY state. FYI: Charges won’t include wiretap evidence or anything else that will disclose methods.

Getting some momentum now…
