I smell impeachment in the air!

Preemptive pardons should be the final nail in the coffin.

What is the crime?  Don't we need a crime before a pardon can be issued?

The so-called president is losing it, slowly. The winning is just too much.

 

Trump’s Fury Erodes His Relationship With Sessions, an Early Ally

WASHINGTON — President Trump’s staff is used to his complaints about Attorney General Jeff Sessions, but the Republican senators who attended a White House dinner on Monday were stunned to hear him criticize the man who was once Mr. Trump’s most loyal supporter in the Senate.

It turned out to be a preview of even more cutting remarks Mr. Trump would make two days later in an interview with The New York Times: an extraordinary public expression of dissatisfaction with one of his top aides based on Mr. Sessions’s decision in March to recuse himself from the expanding federal investigation into whether the Trump campaign colluded with Russia.

Despite Mr. Trump’s avowal in the interview that he would not have picked Mr. Sessions if he had known he would recuse himself, Mr. Sessions said on Thursday that he intended to serve “as long as that is appropriate.” And a spokeswoman for Mr. Trump, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, tried to moderate her boss’s remarks, telling reporters later, “Clearly, he has confidence in him, or he would not be the attorney general.”

But even if Mr. Sessions remains in his job, the relationship between him and Mr. Trump — the Alabama lawyer and the Queens real estate developer, an odd couple bound by a shared conviction that illegal immigration is destroying America — is unlikely to ever be the same, according to a half-dozen people close to Mr. Trump. And this is not the typical Trump administration feud.

For him to be even considering this says to me he knows he is in trouble. As soon as he knew Mueller was looking into his finances.

 

Why is he so irrationally mad at Sessions? He knew Sessions was his firewall, from any dirt being dug  up on him that would compromise his position as president.

 

Sessions recusing himself led to a special prosecutor, Donnie is sweating!

Yes, I love the new precedent being set here.  Now every time a president is elected regardless of party, we will need to appoint a special prosecutor to delve into all their past dealings as long as there is an unsubstantiated allegation.  Sounds smart to me.

In this case it's justified. The so-called president is a crook and a liar.

Just like precedent that every presidential candidate released their tax returns to the public to see any conflicts of interests.

 

It wouldn't have got to this if he just released his tax returns on the campaign trail. He didn't because he was hiding something significant that would bring him down.

Would have been the same if Hillary had been elected, and in her case there were actual crimes being investigated and not just an investigation to try and identify a crime.

Yeah right.  If Trump had released his tax returns none of this would have happened.  There is a bridge in London for sale, interested?

Coulda, woulda, shoulda....

 

Trump is the crook and liar in the WH at the moment. He's the disgrace in chief. so it's justified that he be investigated.

One of these days some disgruntled IRS employee will probably release the tax returns. I know there is an army of lawyers that would take his or her case pro-bono if that were to happen.

So what is the crime?  Who did he steal from?  To my knowledge lying is not a crime unless you do the Bill Clinton thing and lie under oath.  

 

Like me I have said many times, you can say the same thing about every politician, so now we get to elect a special prosecutor every four years as well.

Hopefully they do it on the up and up so they can be fully prosecuted.

He stole the election, therefore every investigation is merited, even if it has absolutely no implications on Trump's sitting in the WH.
