      1. My disagreement here is I don't think "chaos and dysfunction" of Trump campaign makes it less likely something really bad is at core of Russia story. Quite the opposite.https://twitter.com/blakehounshell/status/965388848300634113 …

      2. Remember this line from All The President's Men: "The truth is, these are not very bright guys, and things got out of hand" -- that was true of Nixon White House & true here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=enyM_htgeWM …

          3. Key here is Trump's management style: he likes to set up rival fiefdoms of loyalists competing for his approval by independently doing him favors (shutting up a porn star here, making a deal the the Russians there).

          4. So not a grand conspiracy but a businessman candidate who mutters, "who will get Russian deals for my empire?" And his sons & cronies compete please the old man.

          5. So: not a centralized conspiracy with Trump giving orders, but rather him overseeing tacit agenda. And when FBI closes in, he doesn't know what happened but knows he doesn't want it public, so he obstructs.

          6. The unknown unknown, and the reason why some of @blakehounshell's skepticism is in order, is will evidence of Trump obstruction of justice tied with other bad behavior of his underlings be enough to spark impeachment.

          7. But where @blakehounshell's skepticism is off base is in ignoring 1) fact Mueller still ongoing & 2) just how bad what we already know is. As here:https://twitter.com/ObsoleteDogma/status/965458692748599296 …

          People seem to have become inured to how shocking the Trump Tower meeting is. We know that they tried to collude where, by their own unwitting admission, a quid pro quo was discussed: dirt on Hillary for sanctions relief. (That’s what adoptions is code for).

          8. So far we have one campaign advisor, one NSA, one deputy campaign manager plead guilty & one campaign manager arrested. That's a big scandal.

          9. The whole idea of "smoking gun" is a wrong metaphor. We're dealing with a pointillist painting made of a thousand different facts. But the painting isn't yet complete, so no gestalt. But picture forming looks very corrupt.

          Take the lower quartile of the least bright component of the Nixon White House’s rogues’ gallery and try to place Don Jr. on that spectrum...
