Russia Investigation Heating Up

[time4fun]

Ya he's right. They talked about you a lot and were pretty worried or triggered or something about you returning. They were convinced you were posting on other screennames and would try to out you.

I know, I saw some posts in the post stream a few times and would laugh about it with people on LNET.

It's my fault really. I'm not used to being around insecure men, so I'm not in the habit of babying their feelings.

I gather that's upsetting to them.

Oh no! Parkbandit's been humiliated! I'd better throw out the word "butthurt!" some more! Uhh, uhhh! Butthurt! RETARDED! RETARDED BUTTHURTS!!!!!

You're an imbecile, Wrathbringer.

That's sexist.

Hey, look, it's the Rear Admiral of the Butthurt Brigade!

That's sexist.

Erm... No, it isn't. She didn't make any generalizations about men. I see you graduated from the same school of reading comprehension as Parkbandit. Well done, sir.

Brings back fond memories of Tgo struggling to be smarter than a 5th grader

Sorry but Hillary won the popular vote. You're wrong.

You are the personification of butthurt. Consult a mirror, or a psychiatrist.

Now, back to regular business while we wait for PB to come back and fall apart.

CNN reporting this evening that Trump has begun some prep for his Mueller interview. That would seem to suggest that they're at least considering accepting (honestly, at this point they may just figure that waiting for a subpoena would make the press around this much, much worse). It would also seem to suggest that the last meeting with Mueller has changed the equation a bit. (Which would also explain why Dowd left around that time)

One source familiar with the proceedings stressed the preparation efforts is "in its infancy."
The preparations have been short and informal and included going over potential topics with the President that Mueller would likely raise in an interview, the people said.

CNN is also reporting tonight that one of Trump's advisers during the campaign went to the FBI with what he claimed were Clinton's deleted email:

Joseph Schmitz approached the FBI and other government agencies about material a client of his had discovered that Schmitz believed might have been Clinton's missing 30,000 emails from her private e-mail server, sources say. The material was never verified, and sources say they ultimately believed it was fake.

His push is the latest example of Trump advisers who were mixed up in efforts to find dirt on Clinton during the presidential campaign. Schmitz was one of the first people Trump named to his campaign's national security and foreign policy team. The team, showcased in a March 2016 photo, was thrown together early in Trump's successful run as he faced mounting pressure to prove his ability to pull in high-level advisers who could help prepare him for the White House.

Another adviser pictured in the photo, Trump's foreign policy adviser George Papadopoulos, was told by a Kremlin-connected professor that the Russian government had damaging material on Clinton. Six weeks later, Donald Trump Jr. got a message from a business associate offering similar information, leading to the Trump Tower meeting that Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner and then-campaign chairman Paul Manafort attended.

Fired chief strategist Steve Bannon told the House Intelligence Committee in February that members of the Trump campaign "kept getting approached" by outsiders suggesting ways to get Clinton's emails, according to a source familiar with his testimony.

Remember all those times Trump and his campaign denied any contact with Russia?

Yeah.
