Trump's inauguration was irregular in various respects, not the least being the fraudulently paid ticket for a Russian oligarch closely connected to Vladimir Putin.
Here's another puzzling piece of the puzzle:
The headlining acts for Trump's inauguration were Toby Keith and the band Three Doors Down.
Trump's inauguration concerts, featuring Toby Keith and 3 Doors Down, cost $25 million, five times more than the 2009 Obama inauguration concert with Beyonce, U2 and Bruce Springsteen.
Even accounting for possible gouging by Trump's band choices, where did all that extra money go?

No, he didn't.
Unless you can present something, here, that no other source of legitimate information has been able to find, you are wrong.
Post up your evidence that Mueller announced that there was no Russian collusion with the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
I'd dare you to post up, or you have to free solo Astroman, but that is a loser's bet.
EDIT:
A radioman, such as Hannity or Limbaugh, might have said something to the effect that,
Mueller has not said that he has any evidence that there was any collusion. Therefore, Mueller is saying, definitively, that there was no collusion.
LOGIC 101 - look it up

My favorite quote of this whole 45 debacle is this one:
"If Trump really wanted to see Hillary locked up,
he should have appointed her to his administration."
Mic drop.

It's a hopeless dare, Tom. Werner is, well, above the need to present evidence.
The sooner you accept this basic building block of reality, the more calm and refine your remaining crankloon years on this planet will be....

It may be hopeless, but love is a strange thing.
I love WVB, regardless of what he says.
Good deeds do not absolve criminal behavior, but good deeds can partially absolve unusual misstatements.
This is what Three Doors Down will mean for Trump:

Ignore the duck. This, from a rational, articulate, stalwart Republican, in as conservative a publication as you can find:
Republicans, Don’t Fool Yourselves — Donald Trump Is in Serious Trouble
By DAVID FRENCH
December 14, 2018 5:04 PM
https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/12/republicans-dont-fool-yourselves-donald-trump-is-in-serious-trouble/
(Excerpts)
In response to the emerging evidence that Donald Trump directed and participated in the commission of federal crimes, all too many Republicans are wrongly comforting themselves with political deflection and strained legal argument. The political deflection is clear, though a bit bizarre. The recent wave of news about Trump’s porn payoffs is somehow evidence that investigators and critics are “shifting focus” from the Russia investigation to alleged campaign-finance violations.
It’s almost as if the campaign-finance news is taken as some sort of evidence that Mueller’s core investigation is faltering, so the media and investigators have to find something to use to attack Trump.
But the campaign-finance investigation has little to do with Mueller. It’s run by the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, and — besides — what do we want federal prosecutors to do when they discover evidence of unrelated crimes when engaged in a different investigation? Let bygones be bygones? Or refer that evidence to the proper jurisdiction — as Robert Mueller’s office did — for further investigation and potential prosecution?
Moreover, Cohen has indicated that prosecutors have a “substantial amount of information” that corroborates his testimony. And what is that information? Well, as the Wall Street Journal has already reported:
Mr. Trump was involved in or briefed on nearly every step of the agreements. He directed deals in phone calls and meetings with his self-described fixer, Michael Cohen, and others. The U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan has gathered evidence of Mr. Trump’s participation in the transactions
Here is the fundamental reality, Republicans — there is already far more evidence of legal culpability against Trump than ever existed against (John) Edwards, and a federal judge permitted the Edwards case to go to trial. It is true that, if Trump does eventually face indictment, a different judge may have a different view of the law, but if Trump is counting on a favorable legal ruling, he’s playing a dangerous game indeed.
Tic-toc, tic-toc, indeed.
Of course, this slimeball has already dodged many bullets in his too-long life, and he's certainly skilled & resourced enough to find ways to avoid or minimize what may be headed his way. But even if he's able to dodge the impacts of what's to come on his personal life, he's likely to be out of the public 'service' realm for good....and that's good enough for me.

Not all Republicans are willing to stand with Trump, and agree that delusion is the same as reality. As more and more evidence is uncovered, it will be harder and harder for Republicans to deny reality the way Trump does.
When Nixon was going down, the GOP was insistent that the Watergate investigation was a (insert synonym for "Witch Hunt" here).
But, facts and reality won the day, and partisan stalwarts realized they could not support a criminal president. An informal count in the Senate indicated that Nixon would be convicted, and he resigned.
Trump is completely delusional to think that his absurd statements on Twitter will indemnify him.
Trump's latest gambit is to claim that "everybody does it" and "it's peanut stuff".
Trump's flawed statements demonstrate his crude misunderstanding of the way that laws work. Here are Trump's flawed statements, rewritten for clarity:
A) - breaking a law is acceptable if a certain number of other people are also breaking that law.
B) - breaking a law is acceptable, if that law is declared to be insignificant by the person breaking that law.
Porno payoffs and Trump Tower meetings are not the worst that Trump has done. The last thing in the world Trump should have hoped for is to become the most scrutinized man on earth.

On a still brighter note, embattled Interior chief Zinke has announced he will leave at year's end.
We may well see more Trump cabinet members flee before a Democratic House starts looking into their very-bad behavior.

Good read, apogee.
Since you cited National Review, on a related note, the Weekly Standard is now dead. It was a tireless mouth piece for Neocon hawks, and a ceaseless cheerleader for the Iraq war, but it was also one of the few bona fide conservative publications to call out Trump and his white nationalist party for what it is. It’s a voice that party and, more importantly, this country sorely needs right now.

It will be interesting to see The Di*k in Chief brought down by his own di*k. As I understand it, it's not illegal to pay someone to keep quiet about screwing around. It's the way Trump/Cohen seemed to have done it. This is classic, because with Trump's money, he could have simply cut Mz. Porn a check and bypassed all election related financing altogether.

that's right Bad
but it is a felony when it is done in order to influence a US election
as in, keep this news that would be very bad for Trump from getting to the public's knowledge
and then, do it again....now multiple felonies
