Breaking in the NYT - the Con tried to get top ReTHUGs to cancel the Senate Investigations

[malaise]

Oops! More obstruction of justice. Tried to get Burr and the turtle to stop the investigation.



Rachel is discussing this now

6. If #45 has broken the law, would the current House start impeachment proceedings?

I have serious doubts. They’ve already turned a blind eye (repeatedly) to #45’s insanity so far. They don’t seem a bit concerned about draining the treasury of a trillion dollars. They don’t seem a bit concerned about serial stalker Roy Moore’s Senate candidacy.

They’ve put party before country time after time. They view EVERY issue through an extremely partisan lens. Why would they shift course if shown that #45 ran afoul of the law? And in the alternative reality that #45 and his handlers have created, where there is no collusion, no law-breaking, no problem at all?

7. Trump will not be impeached by a GOP House

They're terrified of the cult

8. I'm shocked. Just SHOCKED, I tell you.

[Ferrets are Cool]

9. Didn't Nixon prove that "if the president does it, its not against the law?"

OH WAIT.....

10. Oops! They don't care about obstruction of justice

or anything else except catering to their donors. Once the tax giveaway is signed, tRump can go hang.

11. Wouldn't this be Obstruction of Justice? Wouldn't it? (But the Senators would have to squeal.)

And we know the Repubs stick together these days. They'd never acknowledge it.

But I think we already knew about him asking turtle to intervene to stop it, and turtle wouldn't do it. He's not on the intelligence committee, and he wouldn't interfere w/that committee. Good for him. Boy, would HE be in a sh*tload of trouble, if he had tried to intervene.

12. Obstruction of justice by him AND the lawmakers who did not report him asking.

Any semi-intelligent lawmaker would run the other way if he even tried to mention blocking the investigation. Happily, these guys are as dumb as he is, so like it or not, he will take them down too.

[sarcasmo]

13. Obstruction.
