It's a good thing he only hires the best people.
It's really telling that the best interests of the country are arguably served by letting the military (Mattis, Kelly, McMaster, potentially Harward at CIA if Tillerson leaves and Pompeo moves to State) call the shots. I mean, it's depressing as all hell and a terrifying abdication of our traditional norms, but sadly enough, it seems like the better option right now. That's really ****ed up.
But, yannow, tax cuts.

I'm all for a regency council! Let's do it.
I guess Sessions can say he's recused from such matters. My guess is Kelly salutes and says yes sir and goes back to his office and does nothing.
The other guy who I keep thinking about is Rod Rosenstein. He's receded from public view. But he set the whole thing in motion by appointing Mueller. And it seemed from the start that he had a sense of where this was headed.

It could be that what Flynn has to say is so devastating that things will play out much more quickly than Watergate. My guess is this thing is going to start unraveling fast now.
I keep coming back to these words:
“I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go."
I don't think Trump was acting out of compassion.
"I am a victim, I will tell you. I am a victim."
"I am your retribution."
I wonder when VP Mike Pence, who was apparently so heartbroken at being lied to (or, you know, inadvertently briefed with an accurate information) by Flynn is going to weigh in?
With the line of succession theoretically does this mean a President Ryan?

well, the bad news is the GOP got their payments to themselves and their donors thru before it all unraveled. they got their payoff for trump.

It would seem he and other transition team members were fully briefed by Flynn about his contacts with Kislyak.
