Touch me is not eligible to be used as evidence against talent's rule. That's an actual brass band backing up the Doors.

Seperately a lot of people consider The Doors to be trash, not me I'd much rather listen to them than Springsteen.

Tread lightly or WingsFan will have some very harsh words for you.

Incidentally, Steely Dan makes my point. You might as well post "The Heat is On" or "Careless Whisper"....

Trump will emerge unscathed. His campaign team showed both an eagerness and willingness to collude but without actual conspiracy, I don't think it rises to the level of being a crime. Even with Trump telling his demon spawn to lie and say the meeting was about orphans, that was an attempt to cloud the media, not an investigative body. Trump was having too much fun being a jackass and poking people in the eyes while campaigning to attempt to collude. His underlings may have tried, but imho the Cheeto-in-charge is too narcissistically stupid to do such a thing.

So what is Mueller doing? Looking at the Russian contacts, he has probably found illegal transactions by some of the players. Like good republicans, the ones to be charged will have laundered money, avoided taxes, etc etc - all financial crimes. The scope of the special counsel includes such peripheral examinations of the players.

Obstruction of justice? Don't know about that either, but having not seen the evidence I guess I'll wait like everyone else for the final report.

A money issue that Trump wants to keep hidden could explain a lot of things. His real estate companies have dealt with the Russians for a long time. If there was some (illegal) shady transaction that occurred in the past, it's disclosure could be Putin's leverage. It would explain why Trump refuses to release his taxes. It would explain why he refuses to publicly criticize Putin. It would explain why except for token sanctions demanded by conservatives, Trump has done nothing at odds with Russia. Crimea, Ukraine, murder of dissidents, Syria - yessah missah Putin, whateva you say suh.

What I think wil be uncovered by Mueller is that the Trump campaign was manned by people who used position for self enrichment. What a shock. And you can bet the administration will only spin 'no collusion', not the raft of other criminal charges.
