Trump on Top with His Hands Full and the Heat is On: Does He Care — Probably Not Much

Stormy Daniels, Karen McDougal - Summer Zervos in pursuit 

(Two paid off - others lining up)

Opinion piece, yes it is and from the NY TIMES, who Trump and his loyalists hate with an ugliness, and then to see it written by Charles Blow who many also dislike, well just call that double jeopardy. 

Put those two things aside. It’s the contents of article that makes a lot of sense and food for thought. Here from the article is this logical question Blow asks right up front:

“How many people from Donald Trump’s campaign and inner circle have to confess to crimes or be convicted of them before it is clear to everyone — Republicans especially — that the campaign was guided by criminals, if not was a criminal enterprise itself?”

The conviction of Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort and the guilty plea by Trump’s former personal lawyer Michael Cohen provide the utmost amplification of this reality.

But it was Cohen’s implication of Trump in a felonious conspiracy to violate campaign finance laws (“hush” money paid to Stormy Daniels and then to Karen McDougal) that kicks the national crisis through which we are suffering up another level.

This accusation cries out for a congressional inquiry, and not the sham, partisan, joke investigation that the Republican-led House Intelligence Committee conducted into Russian meddling. We need to know if the president broke the law and did so for his own benefit to influence the election.

But that would require some sense of courage and patriotism among Republicans in Congress, and those qualities have been severely lacking.

This fine piece continues at the link:

My 2 cents: Trump paid off Daniels to keep her quiet ($130,000), then paid off McDougal to keep her quiet, too ($150,000), and now he is going to get sued by Summer Zervos and other women following this recent story and court ruling. 

Get ready to see the Trump 3-D movie script kick into high gear: “Duck, Dodge, and Deny.” 

Plus, S/C Mueller keeps on ticking and we are apt to see whole lot more – e.g., even involving resolution vis-à-vis Trump, Jr., Jared Kushner, and of course Manafort re: that June 2016 meeting in Trump Tower with the Russian lawyer to “get dirt on Hillary Clinton” and Jr. said if true, “I love it.” 

So, this is a very long road continues. When and where will it end? That Remains to be seen. 

Stay tuned, and thanks for stopping by.
