Trump came in a softened up the defenses and Pence will finish it off, unless we can catch him and the others first. I think everyone on the other side is amazed how long Trump has been able to wield his cretinous cudgels.

9. Yes and it's easier to prove in court than treason

We all know these GOP a-holes have committed treason, but the legal bar is set very high for proving it in court. On the other hand, conspiracy is easier to prove, and juries are more likely to convict on conspiracy charges. Fine by me!

Mike Pence raises Julian Assange case with Ecuadorean president, White House confirms - June 29, 2018


Vice President Mike Pence discussed the situation surrounding WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange during a meeting Thursday with Ecuadorean President Lenín Moreno in Quito, a White House official said afterwards — heeding calls from Democrats wary of Mr. Assange staying shielded more than six years since seeking refuge inside Ecuador’s London embassy.

“The vice president raised the issue of Mr. Assange. It was a constructive conversation. They agreed to remain in close coordination on potential next steps going forward,” a White House official said in a statement issued following Thursday’s meeting with Mr. Moreno, The Washington Examiner first reported.

Ten senators, all Democrats, wrote Mr. Pence a day earlier urging him to press Mr. Moreno about the WikiLeaks publisher during his trip abroad Thursday. The Washington Times RW Rag

Mike Pence has a Russia scandal collusion problem in the making.

...we'd better hope it all wraps up in January, so we can have President Pelosi, and not Ryan.

15. A-huh. This whole thing needs to slow down and go quiet for several more weeks.

Madam president. I like the ring of that. I wonder who she'd select as her VP?

But I'm getting ahead of myself.

5. Such a String of Purportedly Unrelated Coincidences - Imagine That!

Let's not forget, Manafort personally selected Mike Pence for VP. I'm guessing there is much more to that story. Further, Pence seems to have gone under the radar recently. Another coincidence?

17. We know the campaign conspired with Russia. Proof is another matter.

Proof of the head honcho is hard to get. But with Trump's big mouth and tendency to say stupid things in writing, it's possible.
