It's OK if President Trump watches "Patton" over and over; but, he really needs to follow the wisdom of "The Godfather"

After former FBI Director Robert Mueller was named DOJ Special Counsel to oversee the investigation into questions of Russian collusion and "related matters,"  President of the United States Donald Trump made the following statement:


"As I have stated many times, a thorough investigation will confirm what we already know – there was no collusion between my campaign and any foreign entity.  I look forward to this matter concluding quickly.  In the meantime, I will never stop fighting for the people and the issues that matter most to the future of our country."


Yeah, yeah, yeah,  that's all well and good;  but President Trump needs to get serious;  and more important than that,  he needs to look and sound like he's really, really, really serious  ---  in an avuncular  god-fatherly sort of way.   No, make that "in 'The Godfather'-ly way,"  and there can't be any "sort of" about it.

So far much of the commentary about Robert Mueller sounds a lot like Sollazzo's talking to Tom Hagen in the back seat of the car about an hour after Don Vito Corleone was shot in front of the fruit stand.


THE PRESIDENT'S NEW TO-DO LIST


Given all that's happened so far,  here is the long and short of what President Trump needs to do:
1.  Make it very clear, very fast that  ---  "There's a lot of trouble with this [investigating the Russian's] business.  It's very unfortunate for Democrats....  [and] a little misfortune... [will come] down on [some disloyal Republican] heads....  [And,  well] that's life.... Everyone's got their own circle of sorrow...." 

2.  Be sure to get the right "Wartime Consigliere" in place as White House Chief of Staff;

3.  Get enough of the best "button men" specialists available on retainer for immediate unspecified  duty, and bring in a bunch of mattresses for them to sleep on in the White House basement;

4.  Very important,  Trump needs somebody to show him how to make a good basic spaghetti sauce;  

5.  Arrange for a Trump grandchild to be baptized in a Catholic Church by a Franciscan Priest with the President and the whole family around for the ceremony,  meanwhile the specialists need to go around the country, as necessary, to  clean up ALL the messes far and wide; and 

6.  After President Trump clears up all of his problems in Washington and wherever,  he shouldn't retire to the country; and he absolutely should never, ever try to scare any young boy out among the tomato plants  using orange rinds as make-believe monster teeth.

Solazzo spoke to Tom Hagen in an abandoned diner. He explained that war is no good for business.

But in the big picture I agree. Trump should avoid playing his grand kids in the tomato patch.

UPDATE: THE “TRUMP TWITTERS HIS ANNOYANCE” EDITION

THIS IS A START --- BUT IT'S ONLY TWEETS


Trump is being true to himself with these Tweets:

Donald J. Trump‏@realDonaldTrump
This is the single greatest witch hunt of a politician in American history!

Donald J. Trump‏@realDonaldTrump
With all of the illegal acts that took place in the Clinton campaign & Obama Administration, there was never a special counsel appointed!


The President needs to be clearer that he will not tolerate this attempt to encroach on his presidency.

BUT IT NEEDS TO BE MORE THAN A TWEET STORM --- PRESIDENT TRUMP NEEDS TO BE CLEAR THAT HE’S GOING TO THE MATTRESSES AND THAT ALL HIS ENEMIES IN THIS WILL GET WACKED BEFORE HE’S DONE

A GOOD EARLY GAMBIT MIGHT BE FOR TRUMP TO SUMMON MUELLER TO THE WHITE HOUSE AND READING THE "SPECIAL COUNSEL" THE RIOT ACT OR SOMETHING EQUALLY DRAMATIC

UPDATE: THE "FLYNN REALLY 'GETS IT' " EDITION

FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER FLYNN'S ATTORNEY TELLS SENATORS TO SHOVE THEIR SUBPOENA UP THEIR COLLECTIVE ASSES

Newsmax has reported that --- "A lawyer for fired National Security Adviser Michael Flynn has informed the Senate Intelligence Committee he will not honor its subpoena for private documents, says the panel's chairman, Republican Sen. Richard Burr of North Carolina.
Burr told reporters Thursday about the response from Flynn's lawyer. Burr says the panel's members are not surprised and says, "We'll figure out on Gen. Flynn what the next step, if any, is...."

This is the business we have chosen. When I heard there was a special Counsel I didn't ask who gave the order. I knew how Trump was shooting his mouth off saying stupid things. So when he turned up . . ., I let it slide

Sorry to disagree Galey Puss but I think Patton is more on point then you think.

George Patton turned out to become the wealthiest General in history. He made his bucks while in uniform. Seems like the General did well when he took over a country and its banks.

RESPONSE: THE "ACTUALLY, I THINK IT'S THE OPPOSITE" EDITION

TO: "ANONYMOUS SAID... AT 11:53 AM"

PATTON'S FAMILY WAS WEALTHY --- PATTON WAS THE WEALTHIEST FLAG OFFICER IN THE ARMY WHEN HE BECAME A FLAG OFFICER

As for the banks and whatever..... Patton's last assignment by higher command authority was to track down very large scale looting by the occupation forces in the American sector, sort of the military version of being a special counsel. He died under very problematic circumstances shortly after taking on those duties (in a hospital while under care for serious injuries sustained in a strange car accident).

IMPORTANT UPDATE & BACKFILL: THE "NOW THIS IS SOMETHING" EDITION

REPORT SAYS THAT IN LATE APRIL PRESIDENT TRUMP TOLD FORMER NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER MICHAEL FLYNN "... TO STAY STRONG..." --- HMMMMMM ! ! !

IF TRUE, YOU GOTTA LOVE THE PRESIDENT'S BRASS BALLS --- BUT --- HE REALLY DOES NEED TO LOOK OUT FOR THE CARE OF- AND ACCESS TO HIS BUTT.....


According to a Yahoo News report by their Chief Investigative Reporter Michael Isikoff --- President Donald Trump told former national security adviser Michael Flynn to 'stay strong' as federal investigators look into his foreign ties.

The retired general and former Trump National Security Adviser reportedly told a group of his friends and supporters at a restaurant in Virginia on April 25, 2017, that "I just got a message from the president to stay strong." That was according to unnamed sources close to Flynn.

Those sources also said that Flynn still maintained his loyalty to Trump, and "... will not accept any kind of deal for leniency in exchange for flipping on the president...." (See "Trump to Flynn: 'Stay Strong'" by Theodore Bunker, 5/18/17, Newsmax [http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/trump-flynn-probe/2017/05/18/id/790977/]; see also "As investigators circled Flynn, he got a message from Trump: Stay strong" by Michael Isikoff, 5/18/17, Yahoo News [https://www.yahoo.com/news/investigators-circled-flynn-got-message-trump-stay-strong-145442727.html]).

Also, the Newmax article did contain this heads-up line: "Although Yahoo News could not confirm how Trump relayed this message to Flynn, his ongoing support for his fired adviser has become a source of controversy...."

Gale you crack me up. You don't get it. Patton chased the loot that was looted and then I'm sure it was all turned over to the US Treasury. Isn't that what everyone does?

Gail you are correct.

Everything one needs to know about life is explained in The Godfather I & II.

All along it was Jeff Sessions (Barzini).
