[TheClaws]

... not only that, he’s threatening treason charges on those who investigated him.

"Every one of us must make the same choice. That choice is now an obligation of our office. The choice is simple: we can stand up to this President in defense of the country and the Constitution we love, or we can let the moment pass us by." Nadler.

Pelosi making a move.

Nancy Pelosi: "What is deadly serious about it is the Attorney General of the united States of America was not telling the truth to the Congress of the United States. That's a crime."

"We will prevent a President becoming a Monarch" Nadler

If Trump managed to appoint himself king he would make his daughter his queen, he'd then find some way to make her bear his children

So true.

It's painfully clear: today's Congress wouldn't have impeached Richard Nixon

Kamala Harris made toadie Barr look like a complete and utter plonker

The fascinating element to this amorality is its extreme and constant exposure - and the willingness of Trump’s followers to ignore and even praise it. The fact that many of them are Christian is all the more fascinating and baffling.

And a reminder of the dictatorship the US heading towards:

The most substantial and frightening statement made by Barr on Wednesday was:

If a US President decides he or she is innocent, dismissing investigation(s) or investigator(s) is not obstruction of justice.

A sitting US AG just advocated for an Autocracy with limitless powers.

The Far-Right are crying “Orwellian!”, but it is about removing hate speech and conspiracy not founded in truth from the platform.

Criminal obstruction defined in two tweets.

OK, so after two years of hard work and each party trying their best to make the other party look as bad as possible, it’s time to get back to business. The Mueller Report strongly stated that there was No Collusion with Russia (of course) and, in fact, they were rebuffed.....

...at every turn in attempts to gain access. But now Republicans and Democrats must come together for the good of the American people. No more costly & time consuming investigations. Lets do Immigration (Border), Infrastructure, much lower drug prices & much more - and do it now!

Rebuffed?

Woah!

Did he just brain-leak-tweet what his team are saying privately? "Mueller's investigators tried to gain access to investigate, but we successfully rebuffed them"?

That is, as you say, an outright admission of successful obstruction.

Mind you, the grammar's OK and those are long sentences, so I'd be surprised if he sent those tweets himself...

He didn't.

But, if I've understood correctly, it would only be obstruction of justice if one believed there were a crime being investigated.

And as we've seen, if you obstruct the investigation enough, it can't prove the crime... and then you may get off on the obstruction as well.

Looks like he meant Russia was rebuffed, not the investigation. Let's not get over excited about grammar when there's a metric fuck ton of real problems with the revolting buffoon.

Ah yes, that seems a more likely intention of the tweet, Eponymous. Thank you.

As you say, just a distraction from the metric fuckton of real problems with the buffoon...

Hmm. You’re likely right, Eponymous, but I still wonder.

I think trump composed those tweets but with help, probably had Ivanka sitting in his lap
