The fun part about the Cohen Affair?
IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH RUSSIA!!!
And while we're all looking at Cohen
et al.,
planning to take to the streets if Trump really does manage to fire Mueller, wondering what sort of corruption Scott Pruitt is up to, and watching staffers on the National Security Council quit (most likely because they cannot work with John "Ned Flanders Evil Twin" Bolton), there's still MORE corruption going on!
Seems that there's a bit of an ownership dispute going on at the Trump Ocean Club International Hotel and Tower in Panama City, Panama. And the Trump Organization sent a letter to the president of Panama, Juan Carlos Varela, "URGENTLY request(ing) your influence in relation to a commercial dispute involving Trump Hotel aired before Panama's judiciary." (emphasis in the original)

And conservative political blogger Erick Erickson caught up with an old Congressional friend of his - when he (Erick) happened to have a recording device on him. Here's what the Congressman said:
He may be an idiot, but he’s still the President and leader of my party and he is capable of doing some things right. But dammit he’s taking us all down with him. We are well and truly f**ked in November….It’s like Forrest Gump won the presidency, but an evil, really f*cking stupid Forrest Gump. He can’t help himself. He’s just a f**king idiot who thinks he’s winning when people are b*tching about him.
….If we get to summer and most of the primaries are over, they just might pull the trigger if the President fires Mueller. The sh*t will hit the fan if that happens and I’d vote to impeach him myself. Most of us would, I think. Hell, all the Democrats would and you only need a majority in the House. If we’re going to lose because of him, we might as well impeach the motherf**ker.
….I say a lot of shit on TV defending him, even over this. But honestly, I wish the motherf*cker would just go away. We’re going to lose the House, lose the Senate, and lose a bunch of states because of him. All his supporters will blame us for what we have or have not done, but he hasn’t led. He wakes up in the morning, sh*ts all over Twitter, sh*ts all over us, sh*ts all over his staff, then hits golf balls. F*ck him. Of course, I can’t say that in public or I’d get run out of town.

But if that really is even close to what GOP congresspeople think of El Presidente..... oh man!
