But our House Managers probably never expected such a fast and blatant quid pro quo to NY State to drop all investigations of Trump for a governmental favor from Trump Admin!

pretty much every week from now till the election. Lord knows there's enough crime to fill Turtle's office.

Also, subpoena the shit out of people!

Very disheartening to see no action until March 31 on Barr.

And there isn't any other cover-up there.

He is desperate. Seems like brass balls. But in fact it's mostly rusty alloy.

Making plans ahead of what he fears most - NOT getting re-elected and having to face all the state charges, whatever those turn out to be.

So, YES, more and more quid-pro-quo extortion from the Criminal-in-Chief.

because Trump was shaking down Cuomo's brother Andrew Cuomo, the governor of NY

Chris Cuomo went ballistic when Don Jr or Eric called him Fredo

It's totally an Italian slur, but it's also amazingly and 180 degrees wrong.

Chris Cuomo is an incredibly good host on CNN, far more eloquent than the super-chubby Dear Impeached Leader, etc.

Cuomo would grind him into the floor. Would Little trump sue if he got clobbered for the first time?
