You know, if there's nothing there Donald, there's no need to worry about the Russia thing...right?

Dude is obsessed with Russia. Definitely knows he's guilty. More to add to the obstruction book.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
I know this point is made constantly, but really, just imagine for a minute that Clinton behaved this way over stuff like Benghazi.
He's stuck either way. If he fights it, it shows that he's Putin puppet. If he lets it go through, that's essentially an admission that Russia did interfere and that they did something worth sanctioning.
Basically he put himself in a no-win situation by choosing to collude with Russia in the first place.

Mueller, can't you just take all this obstruction of justice right now and go after Trump? Surely this is enough.

"It was John Miller!"
I'd rather they didn't rush and build a strong enough case so that it sticks to Trump and every one of his shit-suckling lackeys.
Lock.

Come on guys, there's nothing to see here, he just wants to try a conciliatory approach to Russian relations. Mitch McConnell and his mean group of lawmakers are just too dumb to know how to make a deal with Putin that's good for America.

Was this before or after Corker said Trump lacks the competence to be president?
Where are all the people that pop into the threads where something new is discovered going:
"This stuff isn't going to lead to anything"
"And nothing will happen"
etc etc. Why don't they show up in these threads where its suuuuuper obvious this scumbag is trying to do everything he can to stop things.

If the investigation doesn't come to a satisfactory conclusion then Mueller is even more incompetent than Trump.
Imagine that.
Imagine that.

And they continue to not speak up. What a piece of shit party.
Assuming criminal charges can't be leveled (and despite articles around the internet about obscure legal precedent, it's unlikely), this isn't enough. Republicans will not vote to impeach based on this alone.
The results still rely on congress acting.

I'm waiting for Trump to start offering bribes with Russian stocks and business deals to GoPers who help him out.
Any day now...

Will they speak out on anything though is the question.

This coming from the man who gives his presidency a machete enema biweekly.
That and Trump pretending to care about what is or is not constitutional.
Government shutdown because of the stupid fucking wall would be one way to get that ball rolling.

Imagine if congress managed to make a deal that would avoid government shutdown that didn't include funding for the wall and Trump vetoed it.
They would probably have enough bipartisan support in order to override the veto. Which would be delicious.
Idk that was GOP house members last time iirc.
Basically I don't think the house hearings really went anywhere. Senators tend to be more senior statesmen with more security clearance so a lot more can be said in closed door sessions. I'm not sure if either chamber is continuing their own investigations or waiting on mueller results at the moment, but senators will be much more informed on foreign affairs and intelligence than your average house member.

Was watching Rick Wilson on MSNBC just now who brought up some interesting points.
* Trump doesn't understand the Constitution and that our government is three co-equal branches, so he thinks the Senate, along with the rest of the House and Judiciary literally work for him.
* Trump mistakes classic Senatorial civility and tradition as weakness, and that he won't realize when they shiv him.

Always figured that if Tax Reform fizzles individual Republicans would fight amongst themselves to be the first to come out for impeachment.

They milked that bullshit scandal for 4 years with much less to work with.
If you want to outlast Trump, colluding with him to promote policy at the behest of a foreign government sure won't help.
There's very little reason to work with/trust someone like Trump.

Trump still has the ability to important voter groups against them, and hurt them during the midterms. I doubt we'll see any Republicans seriously considering impeachment unless Muller finds a smoking gun or they start doing so poorly in the polls that Trump turning on them publicly won't matter.
