Impeachment Inquiry has already “vindicated” his father…as the criminal, greedy, and corrupt POS-potus who is for sale to all who can bribe him and is using extortion for personal gain - abusing power while in office!

Let’s not forget that Mr. I-Love-It actually said to Cohen that “I have a meeting in order to get dirt on Clinton (or Hillary)! Page 265 Mueller Memo/302s

Unfortunately, it is a political and not legal process and as long as Republicans hold ranks, Jr will be right.

Of course Junior has full confidence in a positive outcome. He’s combining his life’s experience witnessing his father committing illegal and unethical acts without any consequence (all of which are perfectly normal for Junior, having been brought up that way), with his complete and total ignorance of the Constitution and the way the federal government functions.

Don Jr. is like Fredo Corleone only instead of protesting by saying “I’m smart!” he says "I ain’t no ignoranus!"

Unfortunately, he’s showing great constitutional knowledge here.
Or the ability to do rudimentary math for the count in the Senate.

But will it vindicate Donald Trump?

“… the process is totally gonna vindicate him and I think it’s going to hurt people in the middle,…”

“Totally gonna…” vindicate…
He either will be or he won’t or is there some sort of incremental vindication? And who are these “middle” people?
What a DUNCE.

I don’t think vindicate means what he thinks it means.

I spend a lot of time with them in middle America.

Does the bullshit flow forth naturally, or is Jr. conscious of how dumb this lie sounds? I am of the school of thought that Donald Trump probably has a diagnosable mental condition, and I don’t think his allergy to the concept of facts and truth is actually hereditary.

They are GOP members of the House and Senate who keep trying to spin Trump’s actions as not at the impeach/convict level.

Well, I get that the Senate, at this point, is unlikely to convict, but ¨vindication¨ is not in the cards, methinks.

Huh? And the other article, using ‘throws’ instead of ‘throes’. Come on, TPM. Use your eyes more.

“That’s fine, we can go through the process because the reality — the process is totally gonna vindicate him and I think it’s going to hurt people in the middle,” he said.

Sorry to be pedantic. I believe this is a transcript of an interview? Isn’t what sounds like “gonna” usually written as “going to?”

Unless we are going back to attempting to render people’s demotic speech phonetically, like in nineteenth century novels?
