Can you say āobstruction of justiceā? I can. Congress canāt.
Thatās pure b.s.! Mueller has no mandate nor limit to what he can investigate and Trumpās dunce of a lawyer well knows that. I think that Trump and his camp followers have just about reached the limit of what even many of his supporters believe. The appointment of this special counsel (SC) was a brilliant move to unmask not only the Russia connection but potential money laundering that now looks to have gone on for at least the last decade. In fact, the SCās office now to Trumpās chagrin is doing everything he doesnāt want them to look into.
Whatta chump!
Smart move, Donald! Iād do the same thing. If I am ever on trial for murder, Iāll make sure I have someone put a paper bag of flaming dog doo-doo on the front porch of the prosecuting attorney, with a card saying, āWith Love, Dommyluc XOXOXO!ā. I am sure that will endear me to him greatly. Hell, Iāll probably get off with a light sentence of 46 consecutive life terms.
Theyāre desperately trying to win in the court of public (Trumpster) opinion.
This and Drumpfieās talk of pardons are just showing how bad itās gonna get.
They still canāt seem to understand that his base canāt save him. I honestly think Trump truly believes that 97.8% of the voters in 2016 cast their ballots for him. And the other 2.2% were illegal aliens voting for Hillary.
If Trump tries to win in the court of public opinion, heāll get a death sentence.
And itās also nice to know his brand is finished. Chocolate-covered cat dropping will be more popular.
I think youāre wrong. I think they see a political witch hunt. I think there was a story about how around 20% of people regretted their Trump vote, some of those are disappointed that he hasnāt been MORE batshit cray cray.
Can he do this? Pardon himself? No point in questioning if his media enablers will go along with it. But will anyone in the ālaw and orderā party stand up to this BS?!
Good question. Itās uncharted territory. Needless to say, itās never been done before. As the Donald would say, āitās unpresidentedā. One thing is certain, however; he canāt pardon himself from impeachment.
I have been liberal since I became aware of politics in grade school (Iām now 65). My partner fell down the right-wing rabbit hole during the Obama administration, and is now one of those confirmed Trump supporters who canāt be shaken from the belief that this is all a liberal plot to discredit the Donald. I donāt think that there is anything that could make him come to his senses - everything just adds to the conspiracy and further confirms his distrust in the government. His Facebook friends that exist in the same bubble just reinforce each otherās views. They can never be reached.

Can you say āobstruction of justiceā? I can. Congress canāt.
[/quote]The Democrats in Congress can and will say it. The Republicans will be āconcernedā that heās approaching it, but wonāt do anything until approval is in the low 20ās. Meanwhile theyāll keep pushing through the conservative wish-list and squeezing out as much as they can in the time they have. Their biggest hope is for quick confirmation of as many judges as possible - and, of course, for Kennedy to retire or RBG to retire or die.
And if Trump has Mueller fired, the Republicans will Trumpsplain everything away as being completely normal.
Desperate (and guilty) people do desperate things.
The more stupid things Trump and his staff do and say, the more Mueller will dig.
Keep it up, orange dumb-dumb.
Yeah. I see no limit to what they can believe.
First someone needs to pull drumpfās head out of his arseā¦and make him look at the lawā¦granted at his 4th grade levelā¦
Mueller has not parameters and doeS not report to him but to Congress and the assistant AGā¦
DRUMPF IS A DANGEROUS IDIOT AND HE HAS NOT HIRED STAFF EQUIPPED TO HANDLE ANYTHINGā¦OR TO TELL ANYMORE THE TRUTH THAN HE DOESā¦ which is lying 5 times a day and tweeping non sense and fake newsā¦
Lock hIām upā¦
mmmmm chocolate!
I seem to recall hearing that firing Mueller is not within the power of the Orange Menace. Correct me if Iām wrong, but isnāt that Rod Rosenstein the only one that can fire him at the moment, since Sessions supposedly recused himself. Of course, they can fire Rosenstein and put someone in there to fire Mueller, but I think that would be more obstruction. Iām not sure the Republicans have the courage to stand up and do anything about it, though.
I canāt believe Sucksatlawās attorney is still letting him talk to the press.
(I believe heās represented by the law firm of Howard Fine Howard LLC.)
Sounds to me like the Dumpās strategy is to poke a sleeping lion with a hornets nest tied to a black mamba.
