Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
He will if Atropa gets near his hair with that flamethrower

In honor of the events of today, I have made Unindicted Coconspirator cookies. (AKA Laura Bush's cowboy cookie recipe from the NY Times.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh! On Rachel Maddow's show, Cohen's lawyer said Cohen basically knows all the things 'bout collusion and hacking and would be happy to talk to the Special Counsel.
My favorite tidbit there was that Cohen is cooperating with SDNY. Which is beyond a Presidential Pardon's jurisdiction.

I totally misunderstood at first and thought "top down fire" was some sort of metaphor or phrase about the way the White House and company are burning. ...I'd be ok with a top down fire like that.

Nope, SDNY is the US Attorney for the Southern District of NY, which is still federal. None of these guys have been charged yet in state courts, which would put them beyond the pardon power. Yet, anyway: the NY AG seems very interested in a lot of what's going on, and I wouldn't be surprised if Mueller is sharing information with them.
I've seen this whole thing referred to as Stupid Watergate, which it really is. They're all so DUMB. John Dean was interviewed on Josh Marshall's podcast this morning, and it's fascinating to hear how much more sensible even (some of) the bad guys in the Nixon circle were.

Thrive to spite them
I see a lot of "hit the streets and protest if Trump fires Mueller" but I think if he pardons Manafort that should happen.
I've seen a few people optimistically speculate that Trump will resign because of what is happening but I don't think he will. I think he will try to hold on and grab as much power as he can.

Hee. That's what John Oliver's show calls it.
I can't believe all of the late night shows are on break.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's hilarious.

I'm on the list for a group of musicians to go play at protests and things, and a lot of items have been coming through in the last couple of days, and they are all good causes, but not what I want to protest! Environment, nuclear waste, old people getting evicted...

Cohen's lawyer says that Cohen wouldn't accept a pardon from Trump, for whatever that's worth.
