Asked repeatedly if some sort of deal between Trump and Kennedy was struck before Kennedy announced his retirement, Shah dodged, saying things like Im not going to read out private conversations that Justice Kennedy had with either members of the White House or the president, and, Justice Kennedy can speak for himself. But what Shah didnt do is deny that the NBC report is accurate.

(17,857 posts)there will be a firm denial. Not sure they have thought through the implications given Kennedy's 5-4 decisions at the end of the term. Kennedy's legacy is definitely in jeopardy. He may go down in history as corrupt. You would have thought he knew better.

I don't understand why there's some people to whom it just hasn't dawned on yet that there's not only something wrong there's something terribly wrong.
Willfully dense or just plain clueless, I think they need to be shocked into reality, I hope Mr Mueller makes a few moves pretty soon.
With the dolts coverage finally swung from his reality to ours there's a new screw up being exposed daily it seems, I want more.
It isn't coincidence when you need pages to list every thing they claim as.
I can't flippin wait, this is going to be epic.
