In more than a few countries the vile MAGAcretin would have resigned

yesterday. Conspiracy and obstruction of justice are all over that report.
He is unfit to govern.
The whitewash being pushed on the media will not work. The report is damning.

and I don't see a whitewash. I see condemnation.

The typical sycophants of course are twisting like pretzels, but I see respectable journalists and media outlets reporting the facts.

All of the media have had ReTHUGs and pro Con spin tools trying to throw some softener in the mix.

He thinks he is untouchable because he's skated through bankruptcies and lawsuits. Playing the system is like crack to him.

Believe me, he's sufferin' in his jocks about the report but no way will he resign. He thinks he can talk his way out of it.

Mate, I've seen some pretty devious stuff but can't even imagine how he's gonna recover from this. How's Giulliani going to spin this?
