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

As per @TheClaws Trumps endgame is to be an autocrat with limitless powers that is very clear, he wants to eat all of our souls

HRC also talks about the definition of obstruction in her Maddow interview.

Or ask Martha Stewart and James Comey.

Trump is reaching for the ring of gyges, he wants absolute power

Barr seems to be saying "Since the President can't be brought to justice no matter what he may have done, there is no point investigating anything to do with him."

Quite apart from the fact that Mueller's investigation has produced a slew of prosecutions and convictions, I am trying to deal with the idea that it is only ok to investigate a possible crime if you intend to prosecute someone at the end of the investigation.

What about times the investigation doesn't show that there is enough evidence to take to court?

On that basis, no crime would ever be investigated in case it wasn't possible to prove that someone was guilty.

This is interesting (bit not Trumpy exactly).

'Had a long and very good conversation with President Putin of Russia. As I have always said, long before the Witch Hunt started, getting along with Russia, China, and everyone is a good thing, not a bad thing....'

'....We discussed Trade, Venezuela, Ukraine, North Korea, Nuclear Arms Control and even the “Russian Hoax.” Very productive talk!'

Putin must put the phone down and have a fit of the gigglies every single time!

Is the news story about Trump being left off the 2020 ballot in CA and other states remarkable - or is it just Dems window dressing and not enforceable? It seems like it should be headline stuff but then nowadays up is down and on is off... Confused

lionheart · 04/05/2019 00:13

That's for sure.

Developing story ... NK has fried off another missile. Looks like a short-range one.

This again?

Update: “Several projectiles” were fired - whatever that means- not a missile.

I drew attention to 'rebuffed' because it doesn't sound like a word Trump would use -- the tweet does not look as if it was entirely his work.

lionheart · 04/05/2019 07:56

So much repetition.

TheClaws · 04/05/2019 12:42

I agree with you about the “rebuff” tweets, lionheart. They are far better written than usual - and contained the word ‘rebuffed’. I don’t think he knows that word exists. Grin
