People knowledgeable of these matters seem to be saying that it would've been the FBI and/or the DOJ who would've opened an investigation on Trump and from what I've been reading today, there would've had to be a large amount of 'evidence' to support bringing forth an investigation.

 

A few people have expressed that this investigation was old news, while others have said that it is big trouble for Trump.

 

I myself am also wondering whether the Kremlin will reveal (i.e. 'leak) anything. It's well known that they are disenchanted with Trump at this time as the sanctions are still in place and for them, nothing has changed in terms of their financial fortunes or lack of ability to conduct business freely.

 

Time will tell, I guess. Meanwhile Trump spends every weekend golfing at Mar-a-Lago.

 

Based on these Facebook posts, Dan Rather should really do vlogs or podcasting.

Trump is REALLY caught between a rock and a hard place, isn't he?  If he or his men lift the sanctions and so forth, they'll only confirm what many have been saying about TrumpCo.'s relationship with Russia.  If they don't, then they run the risk of the Kremlin leaking potentially damaging intel as retaliation.  Either way, the cloud of suspicion and guilt hangs over the administration for as long as they remain in the WH and beyond.

 

I must say, Obama, you played this one well.  It might not result in Trump being impeached or resigning (I think there's a good chance everyone AROUND Trump will fall before he falls himself) but as long as someone in the media keeps pursuing this story, everyday he's in that Oval Office will be pure hell.

The Kremlin's marching orders to Russian officials and the state TV/media service RT at the moment are allegedly to stop talking about Trump. Make of that what you will.

 

Meanwhile: Sleazy Trump advisor/Russian/Wikileaks connection Roger Stone is losing it.

    • Awwwww Brad. I know I shouldn't, but I feel bad for him

      And yeah, agreed that Dante having animosity towards Gio is very forced and contrived. And it also has me concerned that it means the reveal won't be happening anytime soon.
    • God, I love that woman. Another amazing interview!!
    • We can only guestimate based on other characters. Chelsea was said to be 23 in the first episodee and based on Marttin wanting to run for President in the next election, he's about 30/31. Eva and and Kat are somewhere between that  so Id say closer to 25 or 26
    • no argument here! and as she was singing, i kept wondering how many verses ‘amazing grace’ had. looked it up: 13 — 13! — and i think she must have sung  every one. 
    • Yasss, ANITA!!! GET HER!!!   Awww at Smitty calming Martin down.   'Oh, you're the one leaving.' That face like stone. Go 'head, Nicole.    Eva vs Kat...the gift that keeps giving.    
    • I have to admit I still have a nagging complaint about timelines - Why aren't we allowed to know how long Ted and Nicole have been married or how old Kat and Eva are? Or for that matter, when Anita last released an album? BTG is a new show with no SORAS or timewarping. MVJ and Guza are working from a fresh bible. There is no need to be so coy about ages and anniversaries, especially when most of the storylines are driven by past events.
    • It was an extremely rare interview even then - I was shocked when I read it (as mentioned I'd forgotten just how far in she went). You could see how hurt and annoyed she was. I'm surprised he thought she came up with the baby story herself. She and Charles Keating did a good job with the material but it was absolute hokum. Even if they loved Carl and Rachel (and clearly they did), I don't see them coming up with stuff that, frankly, read like Geocities fan fic. Malone was clearly hobbled by NBC and P&G, but re-using so many of his old stories and his soap bible instead of actually coming up with material suited to the characters or show did not help. It was also fascinating reading her comments about Rachel being in her, fighting back against the writing, and how she had to try to mediate. Reminds me of Marie Masters talking about how hard it was to say goodbye to Susan when she'd been with her for 40 years. That subject is always compelling, that duality. And it reminds me of Eddie Drueding's comments a year or two earlier about Rachel losing her drive. Clearly Victoria saw her the same way.
    • Seeing this trash get good ratings says nothing good about daytime audiences. It's embarrassing.
    • Cat does feel committed to being a goofball (the other term has been reconsidered in recent years).  I wonder, given her brother Aaron, if Cat was less attractive prior to the surgery?  Remember the 1973 movie The Girl Most Likely to?  My fanfic for the moment is Cat commenting on how people treat her differently now that she is gorgeous.  One assumes that pre-surgery, Cat never had two men fighting over her for a date.  So, it might be fun to see that side of the story.
    • It's probably one of the only conflicts the story will have, aside from Dante being upset with Lulu when the truth comes out. They really needed someone else who actually knows Gio is Dante and Brook Lyn's son and kept quiet.
