Nixon was in the low 20s nationally when Goldwater and Co went in and told him that they couldn’t save him any longer.


Nixon was barricaded in the White House obsessing over the investigation. Much like Clinton.

Trump doesn’t appear to be bothered one bit. He’s carrying on as he always does.

Apparently the bots on the Yahoo news web site believe it.

I know that, you know that but the yarn that’s being spun regarding Cohen fails to take this reality into account.

Cohen, according to media accounts, changes his story as often as he changes his underwear. How soon will he be on Celebrity Big Brother.

There is an elephant in the room which is his Russian speaking wife, but Mueller is too scared to go there for real

Kabuki theater of liberal language to me. A liberal will condemn a man for liking pretty women but will praise another for demanding pretty women share their beauty privileges and wealth.

Ie they do not want an America First narrative to be the reason of impeachment, but one of America last.

What an insufferable pr!ck Eric Holder is. in the 1990s his boss Bubba Clinton committed perjury and subornation of perjury and obstruction of justice and not only did Holder NOT call for his resignation, he vociferously opposed Bubba’s impeachment.

Holder? Mr. Found in Contempt of Congress for lying to them under oath? Lecturing ANYONE about honesty? A steamin’ pantload if there ever was one.

Exactly.

As asked of Richard Clark during the 911 whitewash: "Are you lying now or did you lie then?"

The Dems are adept at delay, the more roadblocks they can create until Jan. of 2020, the better. The longer they keep Ginsburg on the bench, with reports of improving, on track for recovery, the better......let’s say four months. If she dies or retires, we are then looking at an easy three months nomination phase, during which they will pull the plug and vote to impeach which they can easily drag out for scheduling, hearings, etc. We will then be in 2020 an election year with a president embroiled in impeachment. As I see it, Trump has a very small window of time to have the opportunity for another SC appointment.

Just like when Holder recommended impeachment proceedings on Imam Obama when he used the IRS to fight political opponents.

And if one of the guns Holder ran to the drug cartels killed someone, Holder should be charged with accessory to murder.

When I want to know about ethics in government, I listen to Holder.

He didn't have a problem with suborning perjury when his boss BJ did it in relation to Lewinsky.

Only AG ever held in contempt of Congress?

Let’s not forget that Comey is now the ethics professor. I think that’s at William and Mary.

".... I don’t know if “buzzfeed” (sheesh) is right or not, but if they are, it’s more than just Cohen’s word against Trump’s....."

Wasn't Buzzfeed the so-called news organization that initially reported that the Trump dossier was true and CNN ran with it as Breaking News? Later found to be BS and CNN had to eat crow. Buzzed has NO CREDIBILTY.

It was being reported that the Buzzfeed reporter who broke this “story” admitted on CNN that they had no evidence and had seen no evidence. Gee, why does that not surprise me?

I heard on Brian Kilmeade's radio program this morning that Buzzfeed is now saying that they have two law enforcement officials on the record (if no names are given then it means IT IS NOT ON THE RECORD) who say that what Cohen is saying is true.

Okay, so we have a known liar, Buzzed, lying to a fake news network, CNN, that they have two law enforcement officials on the record but who are not named on the record, who are saying what a lying lawyer, Cohen, says is true? Have I got that about right? See the problem here in believing this anti-Trump crap anymore?

I personally think that one can't believe anything, and I mean anything, in the "news" anymore because it is all agenda driven and not, cold hard facts reporting. Someone is driving their narrative and will twist themselves into a pretzel to try and make it sound one way when it could be another.

So, I don't know who to believe anymore but given the legal system's use of the reasonable man theory (what would a reasonable man think or do in this case?) in many court proceedings, my money is on President Trump and not on Buzzfeed.

Until we stop utilizing this iffa'-coulda'-woulda'-shoulda' conjecture all the time in the news, I will believe my president over people that hate him and want him removed from office just because their gal, Hillary, got her arse whipped by him in 2016.

Yes it is political, but it is a political sword that cuts both ways.

In the Clinton impeachment, they used it against the Republicans to hurt them electorally in 1998 and 2000.

At least with Clinton there was something there, lying under oath and suborning perjury.

With Trump?

His crime was to beat Hillary. Not a stitch of obstruction of justice nor collusion with Russia. They’ll do it anyway. They don’t need any evidence.

So yeah, I think the democrats are insanely enraged enough to impeach Pres. Trump, even if it goes no where, but they will suffer electorally for it down the road. They will ensure Trumps reelection.

It's mass hysteria on the part of democRATS and the liberal media.

When it comes right down to it, they want to impeach Trump because....well....they hate Trump.

They don't hide it. They're not shamed by it. They don't care what anyone thinks about them because of it. They simply hate the man.

And on the Left, hating Trump is a good thing. It's their bonafides. It validates their psychopathic behavior towards him.

But more significant is that they hate half the country who voted him into office. Folks like you and me.
