The sadness I have felt over the past several months over this realization has been a deep and profound thing for me. While I do realize that most people are not actively “haters” there are enough. Furthermore, there are many, many more willing to condone it based on the perception that they are going to get something…

I felt like I had been given CPR when someone pointed out how long Watergate took to finally pull Nixon down. It really completely changed my perspective when it clicked for me that big changes always happen this way- bit by bit.

Let’s put aside the purity tests in this moment of global crisis, plenty of time for that if we live through the upcoming 1400 days

I’m pretty sure there are numerous laws regarding the influence of foreign powers on members of our government.

I would argue that Russian involvement is less the problem than the people who were willing to vote for this fool despite what they could see in front of their faces. Whatever effect the Russians many have had was, in my opinion, marginal to the ultimate outcome. Yes margins matter in this case but under any rational…

It’s illegal to act as the agent of a foreign power to influence elections unless you declare yourself to be one. Feds are going to have to decide whether to start popping people under FARA pretty soon.

yeah it would seem entirely foolish to get your hopes up at this point. I mean even if something is proven beyond a doubt, I have no hope that it will amount to much.

I understand your cynicism and share it, but how he and his cronies got the nom and the win make Watergate seem like a lark and Nixon look like a relative choirboy. If SCROTUS isn’t eventually impeached for this, I’d be shocked. And planning to move.

It bears noting that Watergate took 2 years to fully play out. This will likely take months if not years.

There is no honor among thieves. The idea that you have that many crooked self-serving people involved and at least one of them doesn’t implicate the boss?

“Us Dems” need to realize that shit takes time. That every additional thing is a brick in the wall of a case. One of the biggest mistakes I keep seeing made is some of us thinking that there is one thing that takes him down. No, a case of things will take him down.

Time to circle the wagons around the leader of the free world: Angela Merkel

If this investigation doesn’t lead to trump being impeached, the little faith I have in our democracy will be completely dead.

Don’t worry guys. Ompa Loompa Hitler will just add this to the list of things he plans to get Mexico to pay for. Right now it’s just a piece of paper with the word WALL in 72 point font but I’m sure he can squeeze a few more things on there.

Might explain why Kislyak came unnoticed through the tradesman’s entrance...maybe he was meeting with Kushner and Manafort.

Which could also explain “Trump Tower” having been wiretapped.

“Plotting.”

Just let that sink in.

Yes! It might be a completely different world if Lewandowski had never been fired.

I, for one, am SHOCKED!
