Get his bleeping tax returns, then…
“Follow the bleeping Money!!”
Ya think? And now there’s this. Vladimir Putin personally signed off on Russian bank financing of Trump International Hotel and Tower. Gee, where do we even start?
Pence will have to brush up on his Gerald Ford.
As a result of certain acts or omissions occurring before his resignation from the Office of President, Richard Nixon has become liable to possible indictment and trial for offenses against the United States. Whether or not he shall be so prosecuted depends on findings of the appropriate grand jury and on the discretion of the authorized prosecutor. Should an indictment ensue, the accused shall then be entitled to a fair trial by an impartial jury, as guaranteed to every individual by the Constitution.
It is believed that a trial of Richard Nixon, if it became necessary, could not fairly begin until a year or more has elapsed. In the meantime, the tranquility to which this nation has been restored by the events of recent weeks could be irreparably lost by the prospects of bringing to trial a former President of the United States. The prospects of such trial will cause prolonged and divisive debate over the propriety of exposing to further punishment and degradation a man who has already paid the unprecedented penalty of relinquishing the highest elective office of the United States.
Now, THEREFORE, I, GERALD R. FORD, President of the United States, pursuant to the pardon power conferred upon me by Article II, Section 2, of the Constitution, have granted and by these presents do grant a full, free, and absolute pardon unto Richard Nixon for all offenses against the United States which he, Richard Nixon, has committed or may have committed or taken part in during the period from January 20, 1969 through August 9, 1974.
Is this because she can see Russia from her house?
Holy shit!!!
You’re making me downright nauseous
Are the odds better/worse than 50/50 that Hair Furor has been nothing but a Pooty ‘laundry machine’ for the past 15 years?
I’m glad to see that there’s still no love lost between Murkowski and the Republican Party. She still hasn’t forgotten 2010 when the party gave the nomination for her seat to the Tea Party schmuck Joe Miller. Murkowski beat out Miller in the general election in a write-in campaign. Ever since, she’s been a lot less willing to toe the party line.
Yeah, BUT!..
she hasn’t stood up and voted against them on anything important like, say, the Garland stonewall, has she??
lol. yeah, might be time to consider it.
that’s like the baby’s head and shoulders being out of the canal and saying, “it might be time to consider calling the doctor/dula/midwife.”
fuck every single republican. every single one. including the voters.
Add one more to the list. When is the next scandal?
“Sens. John McCain (R-AZ), Dean Heller (R-NV), Susan Collins (R-ME), and Lindsey Graham (R-SC)…have said an independent investigation is needed.”
By my count, these four, plus 48 members of the Senate Democratic Caucus make 52.
And that’s not even counting Murkowski, for 53.
Either way, it’s a majority that overrules McConnell, so what’s the holdup in the Senate?
Vote already; it’ll add even more pressure to the crumbling foundations of the House bootlickers.
Ahh, the sound of music!
There’s the rub:
Bitch McConnell won’t ALLOW a vote until he can manipulate his own ‘facts’ and whip his caucus into their usual supine obedience.
He’ll eventually lose that fight for once.
So when the Virginia Citronella Torchbearers hollered, “The Russians are our friends!!” they meant the kinds of friends who will sign-off on loans for us? Awesome. What’s the problem?
Here’s to hoping you’re right!
Still, the D’s cannot allow him any breathing space on this, if they can help it.
What’s with this passive-voice chickenshit wording?
It is naive to believe a ‘special commission’ can handle this job as it would be impossible not to politicize the commission.To start with, who will appoint the commissioners? McConnell and Ryan will get how many appointments? The 9/11 Commission wasn’t anything to brag about. A commission full of gas bag politicians from both parties will prattle on forever, fighting endless over minutia, never putting the country ahead of party etc.
It’s my hope that Rosenstein is interviewing potential special prosecutors now. Only the right special prosecutor can really take on a job like this. This job calls for a superstar in the vein of Patrick Fitzgerald.
