Source: Rosenstein told lawmakers and staff he plans to allow FBI investigation to move forward, uninhibited by pressures from White House

Doesn't that imply that he plans on keeping the WH from interfering? That's my understanding.

Legal expert: Trump committed "high crimes" by firing FBI Director Comey hill.cm/TwJ4KtE

cozietoesie · 12/05/2017 23:36

My 'understanding' is that 'high crimes etc etc' are pretty well what Congress decides them to be?

cozietoesie · 12/05/2017 23:41

It's a long time since I've looked up the procedures for impeachment. I just did - and my brain is still hurting.

I've just been watching House of Cards. The original. I don't think that Francis Urquhart would have had much time for 45. Smile

I'd already seen that about Gianforte. Pence is heading up there to stump with him shortly? (He may even have gone today?)

It's still a very big ask for Quist.

Dont worry about Comey not testifying Tues. There's another scandal brewing no boiling. It's about recordings. In the WH. It's gonna be bad.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 13/05/2017 00:46

Thanks for new thread!

Sopan Deb @SopanDeb

Remember when Trump WH claimed that Comey was fired because he was too unfair to Clinton? Trump blows that right out of the water here.

Interesting article - particularly the last three paras.

New Round of Leaks

illegitimateMortificadospawn · 13/05/2017 01:41

^surrogates can't keep up.
I wanted to say re last thread's discussion about the real natures of Trump and May that the MN relationship mantra is very apt. When someone shows you who they really are, believe them.^

DH - well versed in 2nd hand MN wisdom - said the same earlier, Saffron. Grin

Lweji · 13/05/2017 02:09

I said it before the election when Trump was telling voters he only went along with drain the swamp because the audiences loved it.
When he showed his woeful ignorance about any matter.

ayyylmao · 13/05/2017 02:22

Can someone give me a list of things Trump has done in the last 6 months which warrants all of this hysteria?

Lweji · 13/05/2017 02:31

Are you the mythical hibernating bear? You're lucky you weren't killed in your sleep.

ayyylmao · 13/05/2017 02:39

I mean, can you?

Do you also believe a man who amassed a $4bn fortune and then became POTUS is dumb or incompetent?

I'm not interested in 'omg lol, are you serious?'. I'm very curious. If you don't have an answer then you don't have to reply.

Lweji · 13/05/2017 02:50

It's 2 am. I'm here because I can't sleep. I suggest you read through the thread and all the previous back.
Unfortunately the list is too long.
From appointing incompetent or crooked people, to profiteering from the Presidency, wasting tax dollars on constant golf breaks, bombing token targets or not caring for civilian lives, ignoring and even shutting down scientific evidence, misogynism, racism, nepotism, ignoring the Constitution, playing with fire with international politics, lying, lying and lying some more.

Well, that came out easily, and it's just scratching the surface.

In any case here's a link for you about Trump and Democracy. That's from a month ago, before he sacked another person who was investigating him, and before he forced Trumpdon"tcare through Congress.

www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-donald-trump-destroy-america-20170310-story.html

But just keep your eyes shut, and cover your ears. All is fine. The US don't have an incompetent corrupt president at all.

Lweji · 13/05/2017 02:55

Do you also believe a man who amassed a $4bn fortune and then became POTUS is dumb or incompetent?

A) we don't know how much he's worth. He won't release his tax returns. Who knows what debts he has?
B) It's been shown that he could have that amount by normal stocks investments from his huge inheritance.
C) he got to be POTUS by a fluke of the electoral system, Comey and a little help from Russian hackers and disinformation. As stupidity goes his voters beat him, for sure.
D) you only have to listen to him talking about any subject to conclude that he is not very bright. It could be age or dementia, but he's not fit to be President.

Lweji · 13/05/2017 02:57

Debts!

His lawyer declared he had no Russian investments. But nothing about debt.

ayyylmao · 13/05/2017 03:24

The fact that you mention corruption being an issue when Hillary was the alternative is literally hilarious.

Do you have any idea how many civilians in the ME died under Obama?

Please provide proof of racism and misogyny since he became president.

Please provide proof of him ignoring the constitution. If you're on about his executive order which was blocked by over-reaching liberal judges, I guarantee he will win when it reaches the Supreme Court.

It's well accepted that he's worth billions. He inherited between $100m and $200m. To say he could've done the same by 'normal stocks' is quite ridiculous for so many reasons. I wish making money was as easy as you think it is. The point was about his intelligence anyway. He's not a trained public speaker. He rarely writes speeches. Again, to question the intelligence of someone who built a business empire which employs 22,000 people and became POTUS, however he did it, is pretty ridiculous.

Electoral system fluke? If you're going to explain anything, please explain this.

You either have no proof for anything you said or are just plain wrong.

Lweji · 13/05/2017 03:55

All the proof is in the threads of which this is the most recent.
Just read them.
