This isn't slavish defense, it's asking "where's the beef"?
Its obsequious, almost servile attentiveness, Marty. Where you scramble from crumbling defense to crumbling defense......ignoring the *mountains* of evidence contradicting you:
4 indictments, 2 guilty pleas, Flynn admitting *under oath* that he lied to the FBI
about his contacts with Russia,
Flynn admitting he lied about how
ordered him to make those contacts with Russia
Papadopoulos admitting to lying to the FBI
about contacts with Russia
Papadopoulos's fiancée on record as saying that Papadopoulos did everything under direction from the campaign
including make contacts with Russia
Trump admitting via twitter he knew of Flynn's criminal lies to the FBI
about contact with Russia before firing Comey
Trump admitting that he fired Comey because of the
investigation into Russia
Comey testifying that Trump ordered him to end his investigation into Flynn lying
about contacts with Russia.
Trump's White House counsel instructing Bannon *in real time* not to cooperate with the House intel
investigation into Russia.
The House Intel committee subpoenaing Bannon to answer the questions Trump's Counsel instructed Bannon not to answer regarding
Trump Team contact with Russia.
With Bannon admitting that contacts between Russians and Trump team members was 'treasonous'.
.......and still, like a little Toady, you obediently insist that there's nothing to see, that everything is perfectly fine, that there's nothing to worry about.
As I said, if you're going to be whore, at least get paid for it.
