The only way for America to recover is not just to take them down but to

LOCK THEM UP!

Truth be told if the war criminals were dealt with severely and not given a pass, we might not be here today.

is implicated too. Otherwise, he would not be staking everything on keeping the investigation away from Flynn.

They should provide protection to Flynn, in the same way they would protect a mob witness. I won't be surprised if the Russians or someone pull off something, so it looks like Flynn committed suicide.

would figure out that every word, tweet, phone call, email, post it note, letter, etc is being monitored. He can't fart without someone noting it and recording the outcome. But the thing about tRump is, he thinks and really believes he is smarter than everyone else. If he perceives he is in jeopardy (and he is), he truly believes he can outsmart everyone. So he continues to contact people he should not go near, tweet things that make him look guilty and unhinged.

Even if he lawyers up, as had been recommended by many legal experts, it is doubtful he will take their advice. Discipline is not his best trait and even if he can keep his trap shut this morning, it's a sure thing he will take to twitter or do an interview or news conference this afternoon that inflicts more damage to his case.

This whole debacle is going to continue to look like a hay barn fire and it will be because of tRump. When the whole thing is in ashes, he will have no one but himself to blame. And even then, tRump will never, ever accept responsibility for his fate. It is who he is and nothing will change that. Something in his core values went awry a long time ago, never to be fixed. And in many ways, it is profoundly sad and yet .... I can't work up the emotion to shed a tear for such a horrible man. He has caused too much damage and hurt too many people.
