    Face it. The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming that Trump talked with Putin - in person and with no American witnesses - to come up with his false cover story about the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting. Collusion as President. https://talkingpointsmemo.com/prime-beta/did-putin-help-trump-come-up-with-his-cover-story-pretty-likely …

        I'll be honest. At this point, I'm as interested in the contents of Melania and Donald's pre-nup as I am in Donald's tax returns.

        Replying to @GreggJLevine

        No. But as I noted in my piece, I wrote in a February post w/the timeline of all this, "(Note, whenever Melania decides it’s time to get revenge on Trump for treating her like shit, she can go tell Mueller what she overheard of this conversation.)" That feels eerie this week.

        No. But if she wants to she can. It's her privilege, I think.

        Replying to @emptywheel @InfoSecSpy

        No. Unfortunately, if the privilege applies (and it may not), a defendant can assert it to prevent testimony from a spouse willing to testify. Part of our long history of men terrified by women's speech ("they're afraid we'll laugh at them") vs women fearing male violence.

        Incorrect. See Trammel v. US, "the witness spouse alone may choose to waive the privilege, regardless of the defendant spouse's objection."https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/marital_privilege …

        Oh wait. What if ICE has her to prevent her from talking to Mueller and that's why they called the cops on Senator Merkey in TX when he tried to visit the ICE detention center? #sarcasm But I'll admit I'm curious about where she's been.

        It’s closed press, so it won’t matter if she’s there or not, they’ll say she was.

        Wasn’t there something about Trump’s translator not being present? She reportedly speaks 5 langauges. Is Russian one of them?

        Oh my god! The Daily Express news article has a photo of Melania and Putin shaking hands, with the caption “Melania Trump news. Putin is known to speak German, like Melania”. How wonderful for them! 😹
