His poem “The Second Coming” is one of the scariest, most disturbing poems I’ve ever read. It’s creeped me out since high school English Lit class.

1) Hush money to shut up blackmailers from Putin. They may have said we don't want money, we want sanctions relief and coordination.

2) Money to commission a hack of DNC.

But I am only speculating.

(and I hate being fair where Trump is concerned) no one has said what hacking activity they supposedly were paid for. At first glance we all say, "what other hacking activity is there"? We don't know yet, and I'll be very pleased to give a mea culpa should it prove to be the hacking activity we all hope it is. Just sayin'. I've gotten my hopes up too many times to have them dashed against the rocks again.

McClatchy reporting is starting to catch my attention the last couple weeks, beginning with a Cohen piece that included:

“Sater is cooperating with Mueller’s investigation and provided more than six hours of closed-door testimony on Wednesday to the Senate Intelligence Committee”

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/national/article208090764.html.

It was SOOO casually stated, and no one else has confirmed that Sater has FLIPPED.

Then on Wednesday, they reported this Pompeo story - and all references to it refer to McClatchy article:

April 11, 2018 05:55 PM
WASHINGTON

CIA Director Mike Pompeo failed to disclose last year that he owned a Kansas business that imported oilfield equipment from a company owned by the Chinese government.

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/news/nation-world/national/article208630194.html


I woke up this morning looking for confirmation (there is none) and found that Benjamin “babycannon” Wittes is also withholding his BOOM for a later date:


?s=20

...so, I surely hope McClatchy reports are all correct, but meanwhile, I’m remaining kinda leery right now....!!

Trump campaign paid hackers this will be the final straw , and they'll turn on him, or face losing both Houses of Congress. The American people will vote them out of office if they continue to do nothing to trump, and the Nov. election will give control back to the Democrats, then they'll go after trump, and members of Congress as co-conspirators. The GOP is in a corner with trump now. trump's a career killer.

Note: Heard Lindsay Graham advising that tRump should allow the Mueller investigation process to play out, and immediately wondered if some kind of Congressional fix has been agreed to.
