My guilty plea and agreement to cooperate with the Special Counsels office reflect the decision i made in the best wanted of my family and of our country. I accept full responsibility for my actions. There was strong reaction to todays news from democrats on the hill involved in the russia probe. Their message, theres more to come. Inside the white house the

this, now you have someone admitting of a crime. it s harder for americans not to pay attention to this right now. and so here we go. yeah. you and i remember this from a time gone past. what s the watergate parallel, george? i suppose the watergate parallel is what happened when james mccord, one of the burglars, was given not a life sentence but a draconian sentence in order to unravel the whole system. what s the difference between punishing someone for talking and rewarding them for talking? everyone likes their own methodology. mueller is getting one to flip after another. nixon appointed the judge and he went out and did his job. same with mueller. by the way, with comey, cheering him on biblically. sound like dr. king. well, the rule of law is winning today and we re seeing a lot of chaos in america, but the
