Seems like an odd time to be whining about The Times. I mean with a potential regional conflict in the Middle East and all.
He’s just so thought provoking!

--To be clear, the president has no authority to tell a witness not to show up. The president has no absolute immunity to prevent ex-aides from testifying. And he really has no basis for instructing a private citizen who never served in the White House to obstruct an investigation. And that is what he did, according to Lewandowski.
--And so it goes. At this point the most glaring obstruction, the most comprehensible, is the president’s obstruction of impeachment hearings. If a president can prevent the House from formulating impeachment articles, then the president has literally no constitutional restraint on his conduct.
It’ll be interesting if norms like these have been permanently damaged by Trump. Or if the next few presidents will return to act like most presidents and don’t like... obstruct justice and abuse power like this.
And I’m old enough to remember when people claimed that having an inexperienced president like trump would enable congress to flex its muscles. They’re now more subservient than ever to the executive.
How’s Congress supposed to hold the executive accountable with one hand tied behind their backs?
During the Obama administration there was detainment when there was a prosecutable crime IN ADDITION to illegal entry into the country. Under Trump there is detainment and family separation for ALL PEOPLE who enter the country illegally.Concentration camps? Wasn’t Obama doing the same exact thing?

Muh State's rights! Oh wait Republicans only believe in that when it comes to abortion.
Silly question, why the prosecutors do not ask that data directly from the IRS? At least in Estonia and probably in EU too an ordinary person can view full audit including profits, dividends, salary etc for any registered company? Some basic data is free, but full audit etc (which might be a lot of A4 pages) costs only some euros.This seems significant
That is definitely a stupid story."News"week
