You probably won't be tied into any the of the legal stuff. I would imagine, when he goes down, it will be for something he did in the campaign or deals he made with the Russians or Saudis. But, inevitably, you're standing next to him when he's impeached or resigns from office and that will be an image that will follow you around forever.

He's got ****** over by trump and embarrassed on a national level. I mean... hostage face? By passed for VP, Kicked off trump transition team, teased with cabinet positions (only to be denied again) and of course.... hostage face. I think Chris Christie is not a man who forgets much and forgives very little... I can see him exacting some revenge here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted December 11, 2018 Report Share Posted December 11, 2018 When will trump learn. He picked the next guy, announced Kelly was out and then lost his pick. And went nuts on media saying it was fake news that his pick has declined. now kelly has to stay on longer precisely because trumps pick declined and no one wants the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a visual, of Trump repeatedly cutting her off, talking over her, talking down to her. I read that Trump was furious after the cameras stopped rolling, throwing things around. Whereas Pelosi was crowing about getting Trump to embrace the shut down. Pence was likely hoping it would end so he could leave. Chuck looked bemused the entire time, like he was embarrassed for Trump and clearly didnt want this exchange in public (although it was to his benefit).

The Unknown Poster Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 So much to unpack lately. Trump said he thought they were would be a revolt if he were impeached. This is what he does. He inflames and encourages the worst of his base. He's now publicly called for a violent response if he's legally held responsible under the constitution he swore to protect and uphold. In Flynn's court filing he mentions his initial questioning was by FBI agent Strzok at the direction of McCabe. Both were fired by Trump (most agree, unreasonably). So here is the speculation: Why would Mueller allow Flynn to bring up Strzok and McCabe in his filings? Those are key lightening rods for the GOP Trump defenders? How about, Flynn gets questioned by Strzok at McCabe's behest and runs to Trump or Pence to tell them that the FBI is onto them or at the very least nosing around about the Russia conspiracy. Trump (or Pence) responds by ordering investigations into both men, uncovering Strzok's affair etc. Looking for a pretense to fire them in an effort to scuttle the investigation in its earliest stages. Thats obstruction. JCon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be happy. 3 years seems fairly long to be in prison for a non violent crime. And he could have got less if he hadnt lied to prosecutors. It brings it home though. Cohen gets 3 years for crimes he committed at the direction of his boss Trump. Trump's fully implicated. Wait for the usual suspects to come here and try to defend trump now. He's an implicated co-conspirator in crimes for which others are serving real prison sentences. If Trump were not President, he'd be indicted for this exact same crime Cohen is going away for. And he'd be convicted and he'd be going to prison to. He's going to prison eventually. AtlanticRiderFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted December 12, 2018 Report Share Posted December 12, 2018 It's odd. This thread is pretty much an echo chamber. Almost all posters on this thread agree- very little discussion. Then I think of any positives about this administration and I really can't find any... there are no policies that I agree with... That and the POTUS is human garbage. No matter how hard I try, I can't find anything with this administration that I can agree with. It's crazy.
