Lies, damned lies, and presidential tweets

MGB:_The election law violations are a fine, including collusion. The habit of dealing with crooks without vetting them first could be criminal, but such violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act will probably also result in fines. The obstruction was so clumsy, it probably only merits censure. What will lead to impeachment are any instances of money laundering for the Russian Oligarchs which, combined with doing their bidding on Ukraine, will likely cause impeachment, jail on the family plan and seizure of all assets touched by said conduct. I wonder how the public high schools are in Slovenia?

The second tweet about FBI conversations with Trump campaign officials and any intercepted phone conversations came from the fact that those campaign staffers were Russian agents, if not spies. By hiring them, Trump abetted espionage.

Donald Trump is what you get when you hire a CEO to be President in a low tax economy. Lying is one of the tools of the trade to maximize personal wealth, from telling employees that they must make concessions to shaving the truth to show that things are bad when you took over and you fixed them. Of course, things were not bad under Obama, but the only thing Trump can think to do is reverse his policies, going back to the future of 2008. Wonderful year.
