Robert Mueller is the only one who can stand on Trump's tail, but it seems only the voters can finish him off.
The twists and turns of Trump
Yet another day of the Trump presidency, and I awake to another Trump scandal. This time it's the Washington Post revealing that President Trump is going to be under investigation for obstruction of Justice.
For many onlookers, Special Counsel Robert Mueller decision to oversee Trump's presidential conduct sees a major shift in the scandal.
The old charge of the obstruction of justice was the undoing of many former presidents including Nixon and Clinton. The Washington politicians don't like the crime - it's the cover up that stinks to them. Special counsels have a habit of not getting to the root cause of these investigations but on nullifying their effects.
Rumbling on ....
The Trump Russian scandal has rumbled on for some time now - the TV stations love this kind of Trump fodder. They love the idea that he fired Comey to obstruct justice from doing its thing.
It's well know that Presidents can't be prosecuted in the normal courts of law. Impeachment is the only other option, and this is always a political act and never a judicial one. Congress by its very nature has always decided who should be impeached with its two thirds majority. Here there are no standards and Trump should expect no mercy from them.
It appears for now though that Trump has enough support within the Republican base that supports him. As of now there appears to be no appetite to impeach him fully ... yet!
I predict yet more twists and turn in this Trump-Russian soap opera, with a Congressional end of season cliff-hanger perhaps?? As long as we keep our eye on the Republican base, there should be no more major twists until the 2018 Congressional elections next year. Stay tuned for more twists and rumblings.
I think you need to find another source of info other than the dying/lying corporate media.
There is no Russia involvement in the US elections.
Thanks for the feedback @rlh100 ;)
Just sucks that a majority of congress is republican, although democrats aren't that much better. Basically 2 different flavors of shit.
Trump wants to tackle the number of murders in Chicago, he was horrified by the housing in Detroit, a Democrat plantation, he wants good relations with an independent UK, (If we ever manage to escape!) and he supports the veterans who have been injured in Democrat wars in the Middle East. There! I try to be as balanced as possible to all those shits!!
Didn't he also sign a bill to protect whistleblowers if I am not mistaken? I just think political parties should dissolved.
I say blockchain the lot of them and dencentralize them!
not possible with our form of government.
I guess I misread that somewhere.
people have been squawling about 'third' party since the Whigs.
The republican party deposed the whigs...then the whigs vanished...leaving two.
there can only be two.
HOWEVER...now that I think about it.
they didn't have the internet OR the blockchain...
hmmmmmmmmmm
Truth is, we absolutely do not know what he is for, except we do know for certain, he is in it for himself ;-) Can't change a narcissists stripes.
Both left and right fail in my eyes @gardenlady - both are centralized models of government control. Now you know why I love the decentralized model of Steemit so much!!
Sure, both sides bad...but Trump is actually Superbad! And regarding nixon and W.J. Clinton...Nixon resigned before impeachment (guilty) and Clinton was impeached by the House, but it did not pass in the Senate. What he did pales in comparison to the money-laundering, pu**y-grabbing, con-artist that is Trump. Anyone in the NY area who has ever dealt with him and who keeps abreast of NY goings-on, knows this and won't do business with him. Even the banks stopped loaning to him because of his bankruptcy history. ...Hello Russian banks...oy....the end of him cannot come soon enough.
And in the meantime....yes, I love steemit too :-)
His home state knows him too well @gardenlady - some excellent Trump analysis going on there! Comment upvoted :)
impeach is dhmikrat codeword for kill
Ha ha! I think you might be right on that one Everitt! "Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill!"
that's what the left wants...see my last repost.
On my way over ....
I predict the same, it feels like we don't even have a president here. lol
Great to see you in my #politics tagged post contributing @road2wisdom :) I see what you mean!
