Finally, an intelligent comment. It is questionable if one can indict a sitting president - remember Nixon was declared an "unindicted co-conspirator". The proper recourse is impeachment and Trump will not be impeached by a Republican controlled House unless it is something really blatant and egregious. Even if he is impeached there are not 67 votes in the senate to remove him from office. co The other likelihood, is that Trump - really his attorneys - may seek to quash any subpoena demanding his testimony claiming constitutional constraints ostensibly making a separation of powers argument. Whether that will be sustained in the courts remains to be seen but it would have to be determined by the Supreme court and that process would take quite a while. |
Cue link to Seth Rich. Lol |
FBI leadership will be brought down before that |
Texts from the FBI are not attacks by Republicans. These FBI and DOJ officials made their own bed. That’s why McCabe begged Ryan not to let them be exposed |
Spot on! I am a liberal and some of these scenarios are so ludicrous that it makes one wonder if these posters have any concept of reality or whether all the blather they post is just based on their hatred of Trump. I don't care for Trump but one needs to be grounded in some sense of what is likely to happen. |
There is no separation of powers argument. Mueller is in the same branch of government as the President. |
Yes. You’re "liberal." Literally none of the scenarios laid out above are ludicrous at all. From the little bit that we know for a fact Trump has done, it’s already far worse than Nixon. That’s a fact. The GOP is actively obstructing justice. We know for a fact that many of them took a lot of questionable money from people with Russian ties, and they also accepted NRA money which turns out to also have been accepting Russian money. Trump has capped all over behavioral norms and the checks and balances - at least in regards to the GOP - are not functioning at all. We are in uncharted waters. |
Bullshit. The witch hunt against the FBI will die. The Strzok/Page texts aren't accomplishing anything, don't show anything but snark, nothing of substance. You got nothing but idiotic and baseless claims of "conflict of interest" against Mueller, who's been a lifelong Republican. But meanwhile, the Republicans keep looking worse and worse with every passing day. |
Leaving aside whether there is a separation of powers argument, if Trump/his attorneys claim there is, then who gets to decide? Mueller, Trump or the courts? If it is the courts, then it will have to go to the Supreme court which will take time and would likely be decided in 2019 once they go through the various appeals. |
You really are a moron. Just read through the claptrap that you just wrote: you should be embarrassed to write such nonsense.. Every sentence you wrote is just over the top tripe. |
Agree. The GOP is not just passively obstructing justice by doing nothing, they are actively trying to undermine it with things like their selective, out-of-context leaks of testimony (which the Dems had to correct by pushing a full release) and things like the bogus Nunes memo - when Nunes himself is already so conflicted that he had to recuse himself from the Russia matter. Meanwhile, there's breaking news about how the Dutch are corroborating the fact that there was a massive Russian effort to undermine our elections and still, regardless of whether there was any active collusion or not (and frankly we may never see evidence of that), the Republicans are nonetheless refusing to deal with foreign meddling in our elections, because they care more about partisanship and tribalism than they do about American democracy. |
Yep. The NRA is hip-deep in links to Russian oligarchs and their money. The Dallas Morning News (not exactly a bastion of liberalism) has been reporting for months about various GOP senators and congressman who wittingly or unwittingly took campaign contributions from the Russians. A major Dutch newspaper reported yesterday that the Dutch (one of our NATO allies) infiltrated and tracked a Russian intelligence sponsored hacking group involved in hacking the DNC. Facebook and Twitter are slowly revealing the extent to which fake social media accounts created by Russian 'bots actively manipulated political dialogue during the 2016 campaign. yes, we are in uncharted waters and members of the GOP need to decide which side of history they want to be on. |
“Whether a Republican Congress would take action against Trump, regardless of Mueller’s conclusions, is anyone’s guess. But Thursday’s news made impeachment proceedings against Trump more likely. Ultimately the president’s performance in his upcoming interview with Mueller could prove decisive. Trump has repeatedly demonstrated a lack of discipline when questioned, and Mueller has a lot to work with. If Trump provides the special counsel with direct evidence of his intent when firing Comey, he could ensure that Mueller will conclude he obstructed justice, leaving his fate to Congress.”

Kudos to April Ryan.
She broke this story initially in June of 2017 but everyone shrugged their shoulders and ignored it. |
