      BINGO: @emptywheel suggests how The New York Times blew it with their Don McGahn interview given his unique expertise on campaign finance. https://www.emptywheel.net/2018/08/18/why-would-don-mcgahn-and-his-lawyer-cooperate-in-a-piece-claiming-he-cooperated-with-mueller-on-obstruction/ …pic.twitter.com/zkLd73WuCy

      Yeah, failing to secure proper visas will definitely bring Trump down 😂 I can't think of a more significant scandal.

      Wheeler’s point, which you may have missed, is that NYT seems to think the crimes are limited to obstruction, rather than considering a constellation of different crimes that potentially justify conspiracy charges.

      Incidentally, visa fraud is one of the crimes NSD has said they expect to get charged.

          Do you think failing to get proper visas will bring Trump down? Do you think anyone will care at all?

          All I’m suggesting is it is one of several integrated crimes that could contribute to a bigger picture of campaign finance violations etc that dovetail into conspiracy. Also it shows that the Cambridge Analytica scandal is not limited to Facebook.

          It just seems desperate to me. If Trump conspired with Russia to hack his opponent, that's a huge scandal & crime that would bring him down. But that seems less and less likely, so people are grasping at theories of any small infractions that may be illegal but are insignificant.

          It would have brought him down had it been proved well before the 2016 election. Now it's up to a 2/3 majority of the Senate or the grim reaper.

          Maybe it wouldn't bring him down anyway, but since it probably didn't happen then it's definitely not going to bring him down.
