I think you are accurate on those charges. So what was the impact of those falsifications, in real terms? Did we give the Russians control of 20% of our Uranium resources? What did he tell the Russians he met, and what did they promise him? What was the deal?

All that would necessarily be discovered in making appropriate charges and arriving at a verdict and a punishment. Lying is bad. Lying to law enforcement is a law written into the police codebooks of offenses. It's always the first thing the cop writes down. I've questioned how laws against lying to the police or law enforcement can stand up to the right to not incriminate yourself. So was there some rationale behind say, a Flynn "lie", like oh a conversation about the Jazz basketball team is not the kind of thing you're required to disclose. If it was a discussion with formulas and equations about our composite aircraft materials essential to evade radar detection, I'd say nail Flynn's hide to the walls of Leavenworth.

oh, wait.... didn't Bill Clinton share a lot of space and computer technology with the Chinese, to help them assume their rightful place in the world as a co-equal in the family of nations? And to help them aim their nukes at us?

Let me make it clear. It just doesn't strike me as "American" to have a partisan media that will bury serious issues about some preferred politicians while grabbing every possible chance to attack another.

Oh, wait. I remember reading in History about the Tammany Hall scandals..... we've been doing this partisan media thing for a helluvalongtime.

Well I think it's fairly obvious that finding the answers to your concerns is why we have the congressional investigations, as well as the fbi's and Muellers investigations.

Consider that Michael Flynn ****ed up right away and was only NSA for a few weeks. He did still manage to put the kibosh on an isis strike using Kurdish troops during the transition. A move favored by Turkey, by whom he had been paid as a foreign agent, and then lied about. Other real life impacts are hard to quantify because he was forced out of his position within a few weeks.

And spare me the "medias not fair" whining. The Benghazi hearings weren't that long ago and that **** was covered for years.

Oh, and Michael Flynn could be innocent as a baby angel and that wouldn't make a lick of difference as to whether the Presidents actions with Comey rise to the level of obstruction of justice.

I'd love for Donald cheerleaders to go just a few hours without mentioning Clinton. Isn't it unbelievable how they try and justify Dump by bringing up some obscure and unrelated Clinton covfefe? Cmon repubs, stop with the nothing burgers and look at yourselves. Take accountability for the terrible candidate.

lolz at fox, they see the MUH RUSSIA narrative is falling apart so they have this headline

There’s so much more about Trump to investigate than just Russia
Tax evasion, fraud, misuse of charitable funds...

just keep throwing **** at the wall see what's stick! this is just a witchhunt!
like they are desperately searching for a crime. this is beyond ridiculous.

maybe they can arrest and impeach trump for jay walkin in about 7 years and 5 months!
 
What next though? Subpoena Donny? Wouldn't it almost certainly be better for him not to say anything?

Can't he use executive privilege (I think that's what it is called) and deny the subpoena?

Yes and No.

Yes, it can deny a subpoena and can act temporarily to save Donald from further embarrassment. However, the SC has the final say. The judicial branch can overrule the executive privilege.

That's what happened with Nixon and his tapes. Originally he tried to prevent their release through executive privilege. Then, The courts overruled him forcing him to release the tapes. The floodgates opened after the release of the tapes. They showed that Nixon definitely knew of the watergate break in and attempted to prevent law enforcement from finding out. The final nail in the coffin was the release of tapes that showed a deleted 18 min gap. Obviously, the information was so damning that Nixon tampered with the tapes to exclude this recorded portion.

People forget, it took over one year to investigate and indict Nixon. He only resigned when members of his own party personally marched into the White House and told him to. Think Trump will be any different?

Yesterday was only the beginning. The ugly tumor in the White House will probably persist for another year before members of his own party are fed up with him. Another potential scenario would take place after the midterms when democrats recapture the house and begin impeachment proceedings. Either way, trump is cooked. With such a low approval rating and republicans being dragged down with him, it's only a matter of time before his presidency is forcefully terminated; either (a) through his own party or (b) by democrats after the midterms.

I agree about the long time table before this thing gets wrapped up. I think the accelerated news cycle as well as Trumps general incompetence and self incrimination mean this investigation probably won't take as long as Watergate did though.

I am happy to see that there are cracks beginning to show with regards to Republican support for Trump.
