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

Wobbly toddly Trump.

'Impeachment is a "dirty filthy disgusting word," the president told reporters as talk of beginning proceedings to remove the president has grown louder.'

'President Donald Trump on Thursday attacked special counsel Robert Mueller while speaking to reporters outside the White House, calling him a "true never-Trumper" and saying that he never should've been tapped as special counsel.

"I think Mueller is a true never-Trumper," the president said.

Trump's comments came one day after Mueller's first public remarks on his nearly two-year Russia investigation. Mueller said on Wednesday that if his team "had confidence that he clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so."

Earlier Thursday, Trump tweeted that he had "nothing to do with Russia helping me to get elected." But he walked back that statement while speaking to reporters shortly after the tweet, saying that "Russia did not help me get elected."

"I helped me get elected," Trump said. "Russia had nothing to do with it at all."'

Here:

'After I conducted lengthy consultations with experts on the matter, here is a list of completely reasonable things that the Democrats are waiting for before initiating impeachment proceedings.

And then retracted. Grin

lionheart · 30/05/2019 16:24

Can you imagine what kind of a maelstrom would be created if he were to be asked questions under oath for just five minutes?

cozietoesie · 30/05/2019 16:47

I can. Grin

lionheart · 30/05/2019 16:52

It would be a terrible and glorious spectacle.

Whosorrynow · 30/05/2019 17:29

I helped me get elected
'look mommy look, I helped me do it mommy, me help me do it'

Whosorrynow · 30/05/2019 17:34

if he were to be asked questions under oath for just five minutes?
Oh that would be SO enormously gratifying, to see him questioned by say Kamala Harris🤭🤣
and for a good half hour, we deserve more than 5 mins

cozietoesie · 30/05/2019 17:43

He couldn't do it.

lionheart · 30/05/2019 18:26

Harris in conversation with Trump. Smile

Wouldn't that be something ...?

lionheart · 30/05/2019 18:27

Just a little chat ...

Cracks ... I expect Pence is warming up in the wings somewhere.

Which is a potential disaster, because if he becomes President he will immediately pardon Trump. That should not happen. And the only way I can see to avoid it is for a Democrat to win the Presidency in 2020 and Trump then to be indicted for his crimes committed before he became President, even if nobody wants to touch the ones he may have committed while in (the Oval) office.

lionheart · 30/05/2019 18:33

Yes, in some ways Pence would be an awful lot worse.

It would embed the Christian fundamentalists into the WH.

I suspect Trump's base is more fickle.

cozietoesie · 30/05/2019 19:03

He wouldn't see the danger, lion.

cozietoesie · 30/05/2019 19:05

Sorry. Of a 'chat' with Ms H.

lionheart · 30/05/2019 19:11

He wouldn't. Grin

The only thing with Trump is that he gets a lot of 'wriggle room' because his sentences (and sometimes his words) are so often nonsensical.

lionheart · 30/05/2019 19:13

This fellow would also do an excellent job and he did write the rule book (or one of them).

cozietoesie · 30/05/2019 19:30

I don't see how he can refuse Ms H. (As a senator.)

lionheart · 30/05/2019 19:40

Some (appropriate) crib notes.

He will not fare well.

Here is the Clinton version.
