Ahem…
“FAKE POLLS!!! Hillary by 14!!! Trump has no path to 270!!! Clinton in a landslide!!!”
Sorry, but I had to…I see it all day every day when I go to Faux News and felt compelled to share the pain…
This assumes Trump understands what Abuse of Power means, he has not displayed any understanding of. Rules Truth Regulations, Congress. or The Constitution. He thinks he’s DA boss. lol
538 has some interesting info about what’s happening to Trump’s base. Look out below…
There you have it… Majority of Americans have concluded he has committed impeachable offense. Of course none of this will happen until we get a new Congress in 2018.
I just can’t wait for the Republican hysteria that liberals brought Trump down. Should be hearing it pretty soon.
Good sign. Weakening strength of support among his base could be prelude to desertion of support.
Trump: Electoral College gave me the power to leak and abuse as I wish. Its all in the Constitution.
Given that Bush pre-emptively pardoned his Secretary of Defense to kill the Iran-Contra threat…
What’s to keep a lunatic like Trump from doing the same?
Sure, there are political implications to that (as if Trump cares about the GOP), but no legal impediments.
Let’s assume he just issued a blanket pardon tomorrow.
For every person under investigation in this matter.
For any crimes they may have committed.
Wouldn’t that just stop the investigation dead in its tracks?
What legal basis would remain for continuing to investigate anybody?
Couldn’t Congress than continue to interview witnesses, who would have no reason not to answer their questions then? I see political repercussions to that…but may be I’m being unreasonably optimistic.
I think you are mistaking that his base or Republicans do not like abuse of power from their white messiah. A vast majority of them want him to do this. They are special.
Doubtful, for the same reason he is the only one smiling here…
That’s exactly what I thought when I read that! He has know idea what his powers are or aren’t, he just assumes he can do anything he wants like he normally does.
Surely everyone here has seen or read about the WaPo story which asserts that Comey himself was swayed by Russian fake news when he decided to hold to press conference last summer.
The circle has closed.
Don’t you just love this Gizmodo caption - “No, Hollywood isn’t planning a reboot of The Addams Family.” Trump is grinning like a four-year old, and the women look like they are either trying out for a remake of The Flying Nun or prepping for a costume party. Who are these people???
Thanks for sharing that.
…or like he has his hand on their southerly regions.
That is precisely how I thought he should have done and I am surprised that he hasnt done so. There is no cost at all. His supporters will continue to support him and FOX/RW media will ensure that this is normal.
Ideally, he should pardon his entire administration every day for the crimes they may have committed that day.
That only leaves Trump himself open for prosecution. Pence will ensure Trump is in clear and will get a free week/year for life a Mar A Lago.
There’s already a lot of boo-hooing over how people are being so unfair to him. (Someone on Facebook posted something about how a supposed friend posted something about how there has never been so much hate against someone who is trying to “do the right thing.”) They are delusional.
And his older daughter to the list of things he won’t abuse.
