Someone had to and soon.

Old thread

lion is there any way to link to the source of that memo so I can find a larger image? I've clicked it and it's not big enough for me to read.

Other "ordinary people", on the other hand, have watched Trump lie in public, cosy up to dictators, and cry "Boo hoo, I'm going to set my gang on you," to anyone who disagrees with him.

You noticed the Republicans LOST the house in 2018?

And just to remind any new posters:

• Trump's personal lawyer is in jail for campaign violations (pled guilty)
• a member of Trump's campaign, George Papadopoulos, is in jail for lying to the FBI (pled guilty)
• a member of Trump's campaign, Rick Gates, is awaiting sentence for lying to the FBI (pled guilty)
• Trump's National Security Adviser, Michael Flynn, is awaiting sentence for lying to the FBI (pled guilty)
• a Dutch lawyer, Alex van der Zwaan, is in jail for lying to the FBI (pled guilty)
and Trump's adviser, Roger Stone, is awaiting trial for lying to Congress, obstruction and witness tampering.

That's a lot of lying and cover up by Trump's team.

And covering up what? That hasn't been bottomed out yet – certainly not in the public domain.

Financial Times, no less.

'Donald Trump faces legal peril beyond Mueller probe.'

Usual caveats.

www.thedailybeast.com/trumpworld-gloats-about-mueller-the-fat-lady-has-sung

'A source with direct knowledge of the investigation told The Daily Beast that it was their interpretation that “Mueller was making a case to Congress, who (unlike DOJ, in Mueller’s view) is empowered to weigh the lawfulness of a president’s conduct.”'

#Russia's state TV concludes the #MuellerReport findings cemented Trump's odds of being re-elected in 2020.
State TV host Evgeny Popov: "Trump will win in this election, with or without our help."
State TV host Olga Skabeeva: "We're starting to elect Trump for the second term."

Another reminder.

Trump's hand-picked Attorney General has acknowledged that:
• a hostile foreign power – that Trump keeps praising – interfered in the US election
• Trump has not been exonerated of obstruction of justice.

And Trump's own lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, has described this as "better than I expected".

So given what Giuliani knows, he was expecting worse to be in the AG's summary.

Tweak with thumb and forefinger. It's readable then..........

Remember. Whatever Mueller says is now almost................sanctified.

I feel as if we've got a long way to go before the lady with the big voice has sung, also feel as if Russian interference in the US election is now front and centre as an accepted fact, surely this can only undermine trump in the long-term?

McConnell blocks Schumer measure calling for Mueller report to be made public

Looks like Mitch McConnell doesn't agree with you, BelleHathor...

I agree, Hear.

I am very disappointed. Was hoping for some kick up the bum for the orange one. Now he’s having a tantrum🙄

Fox ... erm. Yes, Fox.

He has siblings right? If my brother spouted as much crap I’d smack him on the back of the head and tell him the stop talking so much shit. There’s be a queue of siblings behind me too.

FOX.??

My Twitter feed is full of the memo containing the 'list of enemies' sent to TV companies, surely they are way way over playing their hand with that one?

How is the Murdoch health?

From that link:

Mueller did not exonerate Trump – Barr acted as judge and jury. Now Congress needs to do its job
www.foxnews.com/opinion/mueller-did-not-exonerate-trump-barr-acted-as-judge-and-jury-now-congress-needs-to-do-its-job

Politics abhors a vacuum and Attorney General Bill Barr filled it Sunday when he tried to exonerate Donald Trump using the “Mueller report” as a fig leaf. Barr acted as judge and jury in a three page letter deeming Trump’s innocence without any evidence, explanation, or even the Mueller report itself

First, let me start with a fact. We have not seen the Mueller report. Let me repeat that…We have not seen the Mueller report. Not one page. Not one paragraph. Not one period. Nothing. So, we have no idea what is in it, what Mueller did, what Mueller said, and what, if anything, Barr used from it to make his decisions.
[...]
Barr’s actions to try to exonerate Trump in this manner, without facts or evidence, is a disservice to our country, our democracy, and the American people. It is time for Congress to do its job and get to the bottom of what happened in the 2016 election and the role played by Trump and Russia.

The Mueller report should be released and Mueller should testify under oath before Congress about it. That is how our democracy works even when people like Barr try to play politics with it.

Fox news are openly disagreeing with and defying trump 😲
His brain will melt
