Georgia gubernatorial candidates are having their own little version of a duel. Hunter Hill had an ad of him loading an AR-15. Not to be out done, Brian Kemp, Georgia’s secretary of state not to be outdone in his own ad, sits in a room surrounded by firearms in which he points a gun at a teenager to tell him to respect his daughter and always honor the second amendment. When pressed about his judgement, he basically said to 'get over it'.

So to be taken as a serious candidate to run the state of Georgia you need to be an overzealous gun guy, or at least play one on TV.

Trump going to cycle through lawyers until he finds one that'll let him meet with Mueller?

Well, no way Flood or the Florida team let that happen. I thought Cobb might.

Flood is loyal only to money and his high profile, which makes him dangerous. Cases in point, he represented both Bill Clinton, and Dick Cheney, winning both.

I cannot believe there is an attorney stupid enough to allow Mueller to interview Trump. The odds that El Presidente would say something to incriminate himself are approaching 1:1.

Holy Cow - Cambridge Analytica is closing its doors. I think it is more likely publicly disbanding, but regressing back into its shadow company, Renaissance Technologies.

Flood will agree to Trump being interviewed by Meuller as long as it happens in the EPA administrator's office, and either Don or the Meuller team sits in the sound proof booth for the duration of the session.

Count Chocula says 2-3 hours maximum. Since the play seems to be executive privilege, and that a sitting president is above the law, it seems like a waste of Meuller's time.

I can’t believe that a presidents immunity from criminal prosecution is rational. Can trump murder or rape people at will?

So if he thinks the president's immunity from criminal prosecution is the only thing that will save him from prosecution (once he becomes a normal citizen again, he can be tried for many of these crimes) he'll have to declare himself president for life.

This is not how it works ffs. If he committed a crime there would be an investigation, like there is now, and he would be impeached.

It sure which is more unbelievable, Trump officially nominated for a Nobel or that you monkeys didn’t comment. It’s been a workday.

Jesus, Giuliani just said on Hannity that Trump paid Cohen back the money for the Stormy Daniels.
