A quick check-in to say hello. You know the tide's changing when some over at Fox like Shep Smith and Chris Wallace are complaining about all the lies.

Warning On How Trump Could Escape Russia Scandal The Washington Journal Congressman Just Issued a Chilling Warning On How Trump Could Escape Russia Scandal BY VINNIE LONGOBARDO POLITICS | PUBLISHED ON JULY 16, 2017
Representative Denny Heck (D-WA), a member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence, exited a classified hearing and went on CNN to issue a stunning warning.
Speaking to Jim Acosta, Heck reminded the public that Trump is not required to publicly announce any pardons that he may or may not have granted to his family, his campaign staff, or anyone else under investigation for collusion with Russia during the election last year, or, for that matter, for any subsequent coverup of illegal activities.
In other words, Trump could have already privately issued a âblanket, prospective pardon to anyone and everyone involved in any and all activities associated withâ potential conspiracy and collusion between Russia and Trump and his team.qq
Asked by Acosta, why he thinks the White House keeps issuing changing explanations about the meeting between Donald Trump Jr., Jared Kushner, Paul Manafort and a team from Russia, including a lawyer, a translator, and a Russian-American lobbyist, Heck replied:
âSo, thatâs a question that would better be put to them. Obviously, they feel as though they have something to hide, or theyâre denying reality.
But I tell you, Jim, the other question I hope that you will pose to them â should you ever get another chance to do that in a White House briefing â is whether or not the president has issued a prospective, blanket pardon to anyone and everyone involved in any and all activities associated with this.
Because, Jim, the federal law does not require that he reveal that. That could be privately done. He could have already done it, and we wouldnât know. And I certainly hope somebody asks him at some point.â The comment came up after a hearing in which former Trump campaign advisor Michael Caputo, who has strong ties to Russia, testified that during the campaign âNo one ever breathed the word âRussiaââ to him.
However, the question arises as to, if Trump indeed has already issued blanket pardons and no one but a small inner circle knows about it, whether a pardon would prevent Caputo or any other person Trump names from being prosecuted for perjury or any other legal violations stemming from the Russia scandal.
If that were indeed the case, then any investigation into possible collusion would be severely hampered, since any witness could lie with impunity, secure in the knowledge that they were immune from prosecution for lying during their testimony.
Letâs hope that the media follows Representative Heckâs advice and asks the Trump administration immediately whether he has issued any pardons in the Russia investigation. The only problem is that, even if they do give an answer, could anyone believe what they say, given the number of outright lies they have made to the public so far.

Well, JA can't pardon himself, so there's hope. I do believe Jared will be in the worst of the troubles & I think JA will throw him under the bus to save Donnie Jr. .

Yes, I agree he'll throw Jared under the bus to save Jr, and he'll throw Jr under the bus to save himself.
