In an article today addictinginfo.org is reporting Scott Dworkin has filed a complaint with the FBI about House Intell. Chair Nunes (R-CA).
In another article I noticed a few minutes ago (here on DKos) it appears Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, will be testifying about his own meetings with Russians.
Roger Stone (long-time Republican dirty trickster political operative) is talking up a storm in a Politico podcast in which he says he isn’t guilty (or a ratfucker), that the truth only exists when there is evidence to show it, and that there have been two attempts on his life since December (one a poisoning and one a hit-and-run car “accident”). What does he know which would make a public statement by him *that* embarrassing? And, who could be that anxious for him to stay quiet? Is his public speaking today meant to ensure all his mates that he has nothing dangerous to say?
With the news that Manafort, Stone, and Page would testify before the House Intelligence Committee, weird things have begun happening (not that they weren’t pretty strange before). We have Stone begging to talk, Manafort has hired a crisis management team, Russians keep “falling” out of buildings or being shot on the street, House Intelligence Committee Chairman Nunes (R-CA) has leaked information and then immediately reported it to Trump at the White House (the possible target of that information), and who knows what. I haven’t checked on the latest.
So, what does it mean?
The circular firing squad has commenced and they’re all trying to save their own skin. This may actually include Russians trying to avoid international embarrassment (for themselves or for Putin) and it could include Americans killing off possible witnesses to protect themselves in American courts. In Russia, Putin just jailed another political opponent, so this scandal may truly have ramifications there as well as in America. The cabal is destroying itself.
There will be more to come as those who consider themselves mere dupes or not terribly complicit or only witnesses to the scandal standing up and walking out with their cell phones and other records, hand in hand with their lawyer or crisis management professionals or body guards. This is where the schiff starts hitting the fan.
