For the record: “There are two groups of people in this country: People who have wanted to get rid of Donald Trump since the moment he won [the] election and people who chose to vote for him because he said he would advance their agenda. That latter group is extremely happy, probably pleasantly surprised with how well things have gone. The first group, it doesn’t matter what the details are. They’re just moving to get rid him by hook or by crook. The fact that people can see this — that we live in a swamp where if you have the right connections you get away with crimes and if you don’t they’ll go after anybody, anyway, anyhow, whatever it takes to get rid of the president — is a credibility problem for those institutions that are supposed to practice the rule of law.” —Molly Hemingway

Dezinformatsiya I: “The sitting president is accused of a crime. The Judiciary Committee in the House of Representatives would begin to look to see if there’s enough evidence to start investigating and drawing up articles of impeachment, but this is not a functional Congress. This is a Congress controlled by Republicans.” —Chuck Todd

Dezinformatsiya II: “Always keeping in mind that Mueller knows so much more than he has shown. If you think [last week’s development] was a shock to our democratic system, just stay tuned. Because the other things Mueller is working on, and sooner or later we’ll find out what they are, is going to make [all that] pale by comparison. I think the evidence abounds.” —fake newsman Dan Rather

Dezinformatsiya III: “When impeachment was being considered for President Clinton, and as you know, orders of impeachment, word against him, he won the trial in the Senate, but Lindsey Graham said that impeachment is about the honor and integrity of the president. If you apply that to the present situation, if what we’re talking about is the honor and integrity of the president, this is a situation Donald Trump in the end may not win.” —Dan Rather

And last… “Firearms in the hands of law-abiding citizens rarely result in tragedies, but confiscating firearms from law-abiding citizens frequently results in genocides.” —Mark Alexander
