True, but he will need to find a way to explain his email to the State Dept. making it clear that he had nothing to do with Burisma and was disassociating with Archer and Hunter. He also severed all ties to Archer and Hunter over the Burisma deal.

Unfortunately that will guarantee his removal from office at this point.

Remember when we were in charge of the House and Nunes was forced by our party to recuse himself just because Schiff made an accusation against Nunes? GOP forced Nunes to recuse while it was investigated.

Yet Schiff was asked to recuse himself due to whistle blower involvement to which he gave Nunes and GOP the finger.

“Why does it seem every person trump hires ends up hating him.”

Not sure that every person ends up hating him. Currently, I think Pompeo appears to have the right chemistry, Dr Ben Carson is another, Pence has his back. Even AG Barr (while I wait for the indictments) is vastly superior to Sessions, who hasn’t badmouthed Trump despite his own incompetence as AG, and getting publicly called out by Trump. His key aid, Steven Miller, grad from elite Duke U, what a great pick. When McMaster moved on, he left on good terms, complimented and thanked Trump. Ex-WH counsel, Don McGahn - very recently said: “He goes through a decision-tree faster than anyone I’ve seen, to get where he thinks the situation is going to go,”...He thinks differently than anyone else I’ve represented.” McGahn was influential in help Trump get the right picks to the Supreme Court.

That aside, there are more than enough examples to counter what I wrote. But those people are showing their own shortcomings more than Trump, and their lack of character. Trump has a style that is a “black swan” in the DC power structure. He doesn’t go out and attack people, but the minute they slander and libel him, tell lies and distortions, he hits back fast and hard. They have never seen this before because that’s not the way its (supposed to be) played... after all its their turf and it’s supposed to be their rules. And it also goes beyond style, ... it goes to substance - he threatens their empires - he has not been bought off, and he is exposing who these people really are, their incestuous political/financial/business relationships. We are living one of the most unique Presidencies in our country’s history.

The fact that he took it to the State Department, which his stepfather used to be in charge of ... John Kerry may have been giving him (good) advice. Foreign Corrupt Practices statute is relevant to what Archer and Hunter were doing. Hopefully if we go down this road, he will do the right thing despite what the media and demokraps will potentially do.

Parnas can’t even testify appear in the Senate because of his ankle bracelet. Not exactly a credible source.

Fixed it.

Having scum like Parnas go after Lindsey makes me a little more able to tolerate him (Lindsey)...

Excellent analysis, SP. Can’t disagree with anything you wrote, especially “those people are showing their own shortcomings more than Trump.”

Mean, vindictive, petty, back-stabbers always reveal their own character far more than those they attack. They show themselves to be very little people.

Is Lindsey corrupt? Yes. He covered for John McCain, so Lindsey is corrupt on that basis alone, but also including potential others.

Is it possible for a corrupt person to start doing the right thing? Yes.

"said he was '1 million percent' certain "

Ask him to define "'1 million percent' certain."

"So Biden now has “unfounded accusations”?"

Has anyone on the left ever used the words "unfounded," "debunked," or "conspiracy theory" to describe the claim that the Trump campaign collaborated with Russia in the 2016 election, a claim which was endlessly repeated in the MSM, instigated by Mueller for two years, and proven false?

The answer, of course, is "no," and they even act is though it was proven true, and never complain when people like Schiff continue to talk about it as if it was true.

Very good point, Steve. $40 million, dozens of investigators, unlimited access to all sources and documents, 3 years of work all proved the Russia allegations to be unfounded, debunked and a conspiracy theory. But, as you point out, they NEVER use those descriptors and, far worse, continue to act as if the investigation found Trump GUILTY.

That is so obvious that I never thought of it!
