All we want for Christmas is an IMPEACHMENT! Trump con't

[AcrossthePond55]

Dear Father Christmas/Santa, Please grant our Christmas Wish. We have been very good this year. We promise not to say shit, cunt, or fuck too terribly much unless we're driven to it by Trump CuntFuckery. Oh shit, so much for that promise! Well, we'll TRY. Thank You, the MN Viper Freedom Squad

I think pence will go down. He’s massively involved in the transition which was notified about Flynn’s dodgy dealings etc

Republicans are playing an effective long game. They've touted deficit fears to get two consecutive Democratic presidents to cut spending, and each time used the savings on tax cuts when they return to power.

I don't think that the GOP will have the stomach to deal with him appropriately. The mid-terms will be critical.

This may be the first time that they've been so obviously mean, though, Pain. That likely won't go down well.

Trey Gowdy used $150,000 in taxpayer dollars to settle with a former aide who alleged he was fired in part because he was not willing to focus his investigative work on Hillary Clinton.

But if he’s shown to be as neck deep in Russian trade offs as trump, mueller could indict him I think as he’s not the sitting president? He wouldn’t need to down the being impeached route

Rachel Maddow: Flynn plea deal points the finger directly at Mike Pence involvement

Are tax cuts for the rich popular with voters in e.g. the rust belt?

I had to fire General Flynn because he lied to the Vice President and the FBI. He has pled guilty to those lies. It is a shame because his actions during the transition were lawful. There was nothing to hide!

I thought the White House didn’t know that Flynn had lied to the FBI when they fired him. Isn’t that what McGahn was so angry about yesterday?

[i thought they didn’t fire him. He resigned and even then trump wanted to rehire him]

This is a pretty substantial confession to essential knowledge elements of an obstruction of justice charge.

Oh my god, he just admitted to obstruction of justice. If Trump knew Flynn lied to the FBI when he asked Comey to let it go, then there is your case.

He did resign, he wasn’t fired

What a fuckwit

We all know that he is "economical with the actualité...

Oh dear.

Nah, Trump will just delete the tweet where he admits to collusion and knowledge of Flynn's involvement with Russia, and that means it never happened, believe me!

There's a pretty good chance Trump tweeted about Flynn lying to the FBI because he wanted to look like he's known that all along and didn't just find out with all the rest of us schlubs.

And if that's the case: Whooooooooops.

I think it’s definitely being noticed across!

he’s such a plonker.

Yep.

'Just unreal': Trump's latest tweet indicates he's 'utterly clueless about his own jeopardy,' experts say.

The President now admits that he knew Flynn had lied to the FBI when, as @Comey testified, Trump asked Comey to back off the Flynn investigation.

Just to be clear, if Trump had said this privately and some reporter got wind of it, it would a VERY big story. It is no less a big deal for taking place in public on Twitter.

There are a number of issues Mueller would have to resolve if there is to be any obstruction of justice case. One of them—and it’s not by any means the only one—is state of mind on Trump’s part.

One component of a state of mind inquiry is what precisely the President knew about Flynn’s legal jeopardy.

Trump just answered that question.
