I'm not sure we are trying to draw conclusions as much as simply continuing to try and connect the dots in a 2+ year mystery. Things have broken faster this week, it's hard not to see that. Certainly, people on the liberal cable outlets can't seem to overstate the importance of the Cohen revelations alone, this evening. I know I drew my own conclusions long ago where Trump's Russian connections were concerned. Of course I'm a nobody, and I can't really know more then what I read and listen to. I can start with knowing he was a demagogue, but I depend on good investigative journalism, I depend on spending hours trying to understand and connect dots. And simply surmise. I think anyone who detests what this man represents to our nation are simply waiting for this nightmare to reach a true end stage. I may be disappointed when all is said and done. Or not. We're all going to see every bit of ****, every time it hits the fan.
Only Mueller knows what he has to date. I think we will know a bit more when Manafort's sentacing arrives, if we learn what his lies were. And we'll likely be reaching for conclusions then as well.

Looking at the Cohen plea and revelations, I see Felix Sater is now in the news again, as one result. In 2015, Trump claimed he would not know Felix Sater if he was in the room with him. Lol. Sure he wouldn't. There is every good reason our president has talked more like a Don Corleone then a president. This has all been out there for all to see for a long time.

I don't believe this will end well. In the short haul. How can it possibly end well when the country is this divided? But we are going to have to get through this, and find a way to actually learn and grow from it. I know what outcome I want. No second term. But the most important thing is to come out of all this in one piece in the long run. And get about facing the challenges at hand. There are many. The sooner we get this over with, the sooner we can get on with it.
