(28,795 posts)Their right mind doesnt think all of the unsourced quotes are accurate, and we can easily assume the worst?
These people are the worst sort of money laundering, slave trafficking, murderous, venal, fraudulent, slanderous, mendacious criminals the world has seen since post Weimar Germany
They put the BFEE to shame on a scale heretofore unknown
They make them look like the gang that couldnt shoot straight

(28,795 posts)Major networks), where the idiots get their news
They have no idea whats really going on
Thats why all they knew about was Benghazi, emails, and the corrupt Clinton foundation, and NEVER heard about the money laundering, the Russia money connections, the MOB connections, the myriad other crooked happenings
Just watch and see how Mueller is swiftboated into Kerry, right before your eyes

(32,639 posts)There are already too many repukes on record who support him and don't want him fired.
He may still get fired, if all the dominoes starting falling, but they already have a backup plan in case it happens.

(58,785 posts)among high-level Republicans is pulling the other way. The investigation threatens to uncover what they really need hidden about themselves, not just Trump's group.
For instance, they passed laws that allowed Russia to legally donate money to reelect them and many of their PACs and NPOs have been taking money from Putin. Plus Russia has been paying to get more Republicans into office, and how would their constituents feel about that, legal or not?
Btw, it's past epiphany time for some. Why were the Russians electing Republicans and doing their best to keep Democrats out of office?

Hillary had to fight the MSM, The GOP, 20 years of lies about her, the FBI, and Russia.
And she still got 3 million more votes than the guy that got 5 billion in free advertising.

(32,639 posts)What he's doing now will be seen as historic and monumental by future generations. Mueller is a lawman and he's focused on saving our Constitution, you know - that thing that Trump swore to uphold when he was inaugurated? In my career (I'm retired now) we often used the expression "I'm having lots of fun" but it really meant "I have a lot to do."

(10,572 posts)Trump was aware of the issue a couple of weeks before a conversation with then-FBI Director James B. Comey in which Comey said the president asked him if he could be lenient while investigating Flynn, whom Trump had just fired for misleading Pence about the nature of his conversations with the Russian.

What a story
DeminPennswoods
(15,286 posts)that Russia has Trump by the financial nuts. IMHO, what Russia has that's even more important than the financial strings it has on Trump is their knowledge that Trump isn't nearly as rich as he claims. Think about Trump's ego and how his whole self-worth is tied up in how rich he is and what a great businessman he is. Putin and his trolls could destroy that myth any time they want. Trump must be terrified he'll be exposed as a bankrupt fraud.

Trump acts as if his survival is threatened. Thats when you act out of ego. Ego is there to ensure our (individual) survival. At
least, to TRY to survive. Trump is 150% ego- driven.
