Dear Republicans: now that you have clearly stated your unwillingness to condemn a president for pressuring his officials to break the law, you have forever given up your claim to be the party of "law and order."
You have decided to accept a president dragging our democracy into the sewer and are to be forever known as traitors who put party over country. |
No one cares what your opinion is. Total and complete exoneration after two years of non-stop lies, “unnamed sources”, and $30m dollars. Democrats have become the flag bearers for unhinged idiocy. Trump will take over 40 states in 2020. |

Here is the passage: "In early July 2017, the President asked Staff Secretary Rob Porter what he thought of Associate Attorney General Rachel Brand.739 Porter recalled that the President asked him if Brand was good, tough, and "on the team.,,740 The President also asked if Porter thought Brand was interested in being responsible for the Special Counsel's investigation and whether she would want to be Attorney General one day.741 Because POIter knew Brand, the President asked him to sound her out about taking responsibility for the investigation and being Attorney General.742 Contemporaneous notes taken by Porter show that the President told Porter to "Keep in touch with your friend ," in reference to Brand.'43 Later, the President asked Porter a few times in passing whether he had spoken to Brand, but Porter did not reach out to her because he was uncomfortable with the task.'44 In asking him to reach out to Brand, Porter understood the President to want to find someone to end the Russia investigation or fire the Special Counsel, although the President never said so explicitly.745 Porter did not contact Brand because he was sensitive to the implications of that action and did not want to be involved in a chain of events associated with an effort to end the investigation or fire the Special Counsel." |
Exactly. MAGA traitors. |
They don't see the boomerang coming. |
The Mueller Report confirms the President is a criminal. |
Republicans' 2020 motto: 100 lies per day keep the prosecutors away |
Not sure if it's significant or not, but Deutsche Bank doesn't get mentioned in the report at all. |
Only someone with Paul Manfort-level ethics could read this report and say the President is an honest upholder of the laws of the land. |

On purpose and likely also in many of the redactions. |
Wait, what? Do tell. |
I assume PP is referring to Trump's written testimony which is mostly "I don't recall"....not great for a sitting president who doesn't remember things from just a few months earlier. |
+1 He just sounds guilty. |
