AUDub 10,994 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Let's all kick back and get ready for when the fun begins. Ds will chair house committees and have subpoena power soon. That's worth its weight in gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitanTiger 20,406 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 Sessions, for all his faults, was one of the few people in this situation determined to behave ethically. And Trump shat on him for it. Because that's the kind of lowlife he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The enforceability of a presidential subpoena is unanswered I.e., the President’s obligation to comply with a House subpoena. I think they tried it against Thomas Jefferson, and he responded by sending back a redacted version - a tactic which the highly esteemed Justice Marshall did not object to. And good, let them bring in Mueller and televise it to the world. Many people would be left utterly disappointed. Subsequent use of confidential information gained during his service = big no no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TexasTiger 12,600 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I suspect we will find that Mueller has farmed out various criminal investigations to US Attorneys offices that will be more difficult to stop. Info about Trump’s involvement will likely be gleaned from indictments of others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,466 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 When will someone from the Trump team be indicted for colluding with Russians during the election process? Back on point, I've been disappointed in Trump's relations with Jeff Sessions. Sessions backed Trump from the very beginning and stayed loyal. If Trump runs again, I'll vote for him again because the Dems will nominate some left-wing idiot, but I don't like the way Sessions was treated.

Isn't that the purpose of the inquiry....not to punish DTs friends for non-political misdeeds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It includes a provision that allows him to look into any other crimes found to be committed if they steam from his investigating Russian interference. Basically, he can follow evidence in any way it leads him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one seemed to have a problem with it back then. Funny how the support for that ebbs and flows depending on what letter is behind the guy's name in the WH.

After all, he was one of Trump's earliest supporters and was a part of his campaign. Trump simply doesn't understand the concept of conflict of interest.

Everyone that embraces Trump winds up covered in s*** sooner or later. That's what happens when you embrace a narcissistic psychopath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homersapien 11,270 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 If Trump is as innocent as he claims, why wouldn't he want the Mueller investigation to be pursued to it's final conclusion? Why in the world would he want to stop the investigation and leave a cloud over his presidency? If it's a "hoax" - as he claims - then that will come out.
