Bottom Line - 40% of likely voters think Trump should be impeached. The fact that Trump will not release any documents in his own defense often makes me wonder if he, or someone he loves, is guilty of something.


Ridiculous assertion. Trump does not have the support of his own party. His admin is in open rebellion. After Comey’s testimony today it is clear he does not have control of the executive branch and without his party covering his flanks he is powerless to change that.

Re: “Ridiculous assertion.”

I disagree.

Trump can pull up the FISA warrants on his Oval Office computer and post them on the White House web site - any time he wants to.

Almost 50 years ago the Supreme Court decided that publishing the classified “Pentagon Papers” was not a crime because “a compelling public interest” outweighs the government’s right to secrecy.

There would be no legal consequences if Trump - who is the Chief Executive Officer of the DOJ - released the FISA warrants.
