[The Last Wizard]

Jesus, it doesn't even matter anymore. Trump's behavior and actions during this whole fiasco prove how unfit for office he is. It's not going to stop, because he's a narcissistic liar. He can't help it.

The Comey firing should have him on the fast track to impeachment. The longer the Republicans let this stretch out to preserve their power, the more damage he does because of their inaction, the worst the pain is going to be for them at the end of it. History will not be kind.

Short term maybe, long term nah. People have short memories and will be back on the republican train before long.

While true, the sad part is that his moronic supporters truly believe that Trump has been the hardest working President to date.

He has! It's just been constant firefighting.

Those who are saying Trump will get impeached, as much as I would LOVE for that to happen, how?

Republicans aren't going to impeach him, he still has 96% of the support of his voters

Like clockwork, the sun comes up and Springsteen posts the same ol' shit in a Trump thread.

 

[SwipeLeftHoney]

What if Trump is implying that he has tapes here??? Just saying... It's all how you read it..

 

[Xis]

Is there no other protocol in place that can be used to hold the president accountable for blatantly illegal abuse of power?
Could the president shoot somebody in broad daylight and walk if congress didn't call for impeachment?

He can still be arrested and charged with crimes (if he shot someone or whatever). Any criminal charges would not automatically remove him from office.

If he is charged with a crime, Congress would have no choice but to impeach. You can't really have a President trying to run the country from a jail cell.

he's not wrong. the GOP are in love with the power they current wield. They won't do anything to jeopardize it.

Who would be responsible for charging him?

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Welp.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Why is "Tapes" in quotes?
What does that even mean?

An out when hes asked to clarify if he taped a conversation with Comey

 

[Laevateinn]

That must be why he let Russians into the Oval Office.

25th Amendment, Article 4 can be used if you can prove Trump is unable to serve. Pence and the majority of his cabinet have to invoke and go along with it. It's a longshot, but possible.

Hmm, let's see, you orange cunt, who has more to lose? Comey, who's just been sacked or you??

 

[Bitch Pudding]

Ladies and Gentlemen, the so-called President of the United States!

Says a lot about the country which thought it's a good idea to elect him in the first place.

"Few exceptions". ???

Well, then...

What does it mean "with few exceptions"?

Like, there is no money from Russia. Except this big pile in the corner?

Of course the lawyer would say that. Its in his best interests to protect his client. this does absolutely nothing. Insane this guy does not want to be transparent and just release this information.

[Master Yoshi]

The President of the United States is on Twitter threatening to blackmail the director of the FBI.

Couldn't have said it better.

Comey needs to respond with his own tape threat.

Even if he doesn't have it, I want to see how Trump reacts if it's implied that the tape is in the FBI's possession.

Yeah, we'll just take his lawyer's word for it and that will be that. Nothing to see here.

Oh, are they finally out of audit? Excellent. We can see them, then. Chop chop, time's a'wastin'!

 

[androvsky]

None of any type except for the exceptions. Can't believe I read that.

BREAKING: Trump's mother says he is "usually" a good boy.

 

[JoeyJungle]

Isn't this witness intimidation?

 

[Protein]

I know it's bad for our president to be a fucking idiot, but it's also a good thing in cases like these.

 

[KernelPanic]

Him and his sons have repeatedly bragged about their financial ties to Russia. I think Junior even said they don't need anyone else.

Of course US banks won't touch him anyway.

You don't think this one is notable?

 

[platocplx]

GUESS WHY

Right its alternative facts all over again.

Hey I dont have Russia as an income source BUT I do have loans and investments I pay back to Russians!

 

[Maxim726X]

"There's nothing there if you leave out the stuff that is there."

What a week.

And that was written by his own fucking lawyer!

10 bucks he called up his firm and asked them to say that... And to cover their assess, they added 'with few exceptions'.

 

[RDreamer]

https://twitter.com/AP/status/863032385029451777

Um... loans and investments aren't income...

 

[Mahonay]

I'm so glad he still has Twitter account. He's such a dumb motherfucker, Jesus.

If/when he's eventually brought to an impeachment trial, the hearings will be hilarious.

 

[Maximo]

They are not coming from Russian sources however some sources clearly not Russian do however own Russian banks!

"Outside of the Russia loans and investments, there has been NO, I repeat, NO income generated from Russian ties."

It's rarely notable and I wish they'd use a different headline to grab someone's attention while reserving "breaking news" for quality stuff. This one about the lawyer saying nothing in his tax returns shows connections doesn't qualify for me.

"Jack the Ripper interacted with thousands of Londoners and didn't murder a single one. With few exceptions."

 

[SpaceWolf]

If there are exceptions, surely there ARE are examples of types of income from Russian sources?

Am I having a stroke or am I misreading this?
