but then I thought; Mueller marches on.

God, I pray that Mueller is as righteous as I think he is.

Mueller is at Trump's doorstep, will Bannon spill his guts? When Trump goes down it's going to get ugly. Everyone keep your powder dry.

... but he likely said what he said, when he said it, knowing it would deflect the public's attention to something else coming down the pike. He knows what he's doing. Let's hope he'll be held accountable for it ALL.

sometimes you have to just say, he's that dumb or ignorant to know. I doubt he saw some master plan that involved him kicking up a worldwide shitstorm just to cover something up. Like I would tell Republicans who thought Obama was dumb, yet had all these master plans to "bring down America", you cant have it both ways, he's either dumb or a master manipulator, its not both.
