Being indicted isn't Donald Trump's problem. Impeachment might be.

Voting is the only thing we can do right now to get any kind of satisfaction. Sessions is not going after any of the criminals conspiring to frame our president. The only thing we can do is go out in November and kick the democrats ass.

He certainly finds the most negative spin possible on Trump and posts it in big letters top of the page.

So, unless he trying to bring our attention potential pitfalls out there for the president, he is a rapid NEVERTRUMPER.

So, yes, I agree.

To me, Trump is the easily the most vetted President in history. In fact, he is far more legit than I ever imagined.

Very few people could have US intel agencies staffed by people willing to throw their careers away to stop them going though not only his private attorney’s papers, but every text message, email and phone call since way before he was President. Almost no one could survive that legally.

Impeached for what crime while in office?

"As it stands, the only tape that Cohen has with Trump’s voice on it has already been heard and oddly enough, it actually helps Trump. In it, Michael Cohen initiates a conversation with then candidate Trump. He asks to make a payment for a story involving the alleged Karen McDougal affair. Trump appears clueless as to why he’s making a payment at first and questions even making it. Cohen insists it needs to be done and Trump then tells him to go ahead.

Do we know the date of this tape? If it's October, 2016 that's right in line with the FISA surveillance stuff and IMHO is part of it. I smell setup.

I just checked the senators who voted guilty or not guilty on R side, Susan Collins, Shelby, Thompson, Spector, Snow and few others voted not guilty for Clinton.

I had someone I know honestly believing we’d wake up to Trump’s resignation and Pence being sworn in as #46.

*rolls eyes*

"Two months before the presidential election, " according to NY Times.

Could still be part of Spygate.

Partner, You and I know that it is impossible to indict and remove a sitting president!!!

Actually, it has only been done once in the history of the presidency since the writing of the constitution and that was Johnson after president Lincoln was assassinated after the CW.

Huber is not going to produce anything in my opinion. This was just another pass the buck exercise by the worthless Sessions.

Anything associated with Jeff Sessions is laughable.

BTW can we all agree that Drudge is an enemy of this president?


From what I remember reading, at his site - over a year ago - I would say yes.

I haven’t given a click to or about Drudge in well over a year.

He’s come undone and gone to the dark side :(

> Impeached for what crime while in office? <

Impeachment is a political process. The House alone gets to define the “crime”. It can be literally anything they want it to be.

So if a future Democrat-majority House wanted to impeach Trump, they could pick any “crime”. They could say Trump is a pickpocket, and impeach him for that.

But the charge would have to be seen as reasonable by a large segment of the American public. Obviously, pickpocket won’t do. But what Cohen said (even if a lie), that will do.

Cohen, talking about money that was illegally transferred:

“I have donated the money that was in the account in coordination with and at the direction of a federal candidate.”

“”That is a violation of campaign finance laws””

I can’t keep track of all this clap-trap. Were campaign funds used to pay one or both or neither of those bimbos?

Truer words were never spoken. The man is a total waste of skin.

“”they had all better have no mistresses they’ve ever given a gift to, no women they’ve ever paid off in lawsuit settlements, etc.””

Not just women - how about payoffs to men by congress critters who aren’t out of the closet yet? In today’s world, that is not far fetched at all. How about that creep from RI - Cicilline - but I think he’s OUT anyway so no blackmail there.

“”Still waiting on John Huber, prosecutor appointed by Sessions back in March for his report on FBI and their involvement with Trump, FISA warrant, etc.
Seriously with everything out there so far, no report on Huber yet? Knowing Sessions, he will wait until after election.””

With your mention of this and one other instance yesterday, it’s the first his name has come up in ages - that I’ve seen anyway. Are they hoping we’ll forget there was one more report out there?
