Do you remember how despondent the left and media were on November 9th, 2016, when they had been told that there was no way in hell Clinton could lose? And yet, there was Trump. How much sweeter it will be when all of their hopes are dashed again, after all of their intrigues go astray. I don’t think that Trump will be impeached at all, but this week will be the turning point of his Presidency. The left will become suicidal when they realize that it is God who chooses rulers, not them. All of their arrogant vanities will be turned against them.

And Sen Ben Sasse just announced that he would never vote for any AG to replace Sessions. When is Sasse’s term up? We need the Republicans in the House and the Senate to understand that America supports Trump! Will someone ask Sasse WHY Hillary isn’t in prison after compromising National Security?? And why is the Awan family not seeing any prison time after sending countless classified documents to Pakistan?? The Left isn’t BULLETPROOF! They need to be held accountable, too!

I realized that, but thought I’d run with it, as it fits the narrative.

Which is worse, our "defense" of Donald Trump (who, by the way, needs no defense) or the media's continued defense of their own corruption? Where was the Washington Post when Bill Clinton was raping women and Barack Obama was weaponizing the IRS?

Yeah. That's what I thought. And THOSE truly WERE crimes.

".... if you’re one of Donald Trump’s defenders, some very hard days are on the way. We may be at the beginning of a long and tortuous period for the president, with his former campaign chairman convicted of multiple crimes, his former personal lawyer not only pleading guilty to crimes but also directly implicating Trump, and who knows what else to come in the next few days, weeks and months...."

Notice the innuendo that "we've got him now!" He can't escape this mess!" "This is the beginning of the end for Trump!"

The Left, always thinking every dangling participle is a high crime and misdemeanor to impeach Trump with.

This will never stop. These people will never give up. These people are deranged.

I can’t understand why anyone posts from this fake news Deep state operation. They never ever print any truth.

This guy is a fool.

In what country do we arrest the lawyers of politicians we don’t like? Over what? They shredded attorney client privilege. So this is the new norm.

This fraud doesn’t see the double standard.

Hillary’s lawyer, Cheryl Mills, was not only a direct witness to a very serious federal crime but was also a participant, and the FBI let her claim attorney client privilege so she would not be questioned. Comey granted that!

I am too stupid to read this so I will vote Republican to support Trump. It’s deplorable of me, I know, but I don’t know what else to do. I am too stupid to think for myself or to understand what others are telling me when they are giving me really good advice for my own good.

I think what he meant to say was this...

“All accusations against Trump are weak, so the base does’t care.”

By the way,the argument “everybody’s doing it” came to full bloom for someone named William——Jefferson——Clinton.

In the 1990s it infuriated me to hear the media say “everybody’s doing it” to say that all husbands are adulterers, all men are rascals who are cheating for sexual quickies at work like Bill,everybody knows the Bible is outdated and passe and no one actually lives by its laws and rules from God and neither does Bill Clinton.

I clearly remember that stuff.

The only legitimate case in which the lawyer-client privilege may be broken is if a crime has been committed.

There was no predicate that had established any crime had been committed between Trump and Cohen! They simply raided all of Cohen’s records to go on their fishing expedition, essentially illegally seizing and using President Trump’s private records to testify against him.

And what have they come up with? Nothing that is a crime beyond that for which Clinton lawyer Lanny Davis has been able to use criminal-like language to construct a deal with a prosecutor for Davis’ client, Cohen. (One has to imagine there might have been some Clinton-cabal-originating coercion to get Cohen (an experienced lawyer, obviously) to fall for the idea that a non-crime is in fact a crime and something to which he should make a guilty plea to lessen a potential penalty—which, since it’s not a crime, should already be relatively minimal (as in a fine for not having the Trump Campaign make a filing).

Without an established crime, even one after PDJT’s records have been illegally invaded (which can only be fruit of a poisonous tree), the prosecutors have nothing but propaganda. They must desist from moving against Cohen. Those who ordered the seizure of Cohen-Trump records should be punished and Cohen’s plea bargain should be thrown out.

(OK, IANAL.)

The WaPo and NYT are both a waste of printer’s ink.
