(14,764 posts)The most interesting thought was one of the panelists saying that the gop hasn't suddenly found their spines, or grown guts, but they have found a new algorithm applies.
He basically said that they have turned the corner to a point where they are calculating that staying with trump is worse than moving away from him.
Lawrennce rifted that if they had a veto proof majority to pass the budget bill, they are now willing to buck him more broadly.
He never said the gop is at the point of impeaching him. Just that there are cracks in the wall defending him.

I really hope that the State of New York publicly identifies that they plan to charge Manafort - in addition to the federal charges. Eliminate the idea that Trump can pardon Manafort.
But then, I think that Manafort (and other Trump allies) are lying even now, because they are hiding Acts of Treason in plain sight.

(14,174 posts)If he has incriminating dirt on not just the Trump crime family, but McConnell, Ryan, Nunes, other prominent R's. Maybe even a couple of Democrats that may be publicly embarrassed by Russian money connections. And if he actually indicts all the guilty parties, he may be convinced that that would be against 'national security' if half the government is walked out in handcuffs.
So the deal will be to throw everything at Trump and maybe Don Jr. Kushner, and a few of his close associates, if he will forget about any of the other beneficiaries. Leaving way for these two faced POS to come on camera after and McConnell with his huge sad turtle eyes, looking like one of Margaret Keane's paintings, acting so so appalled and surprised at his boss's indictment.

(37,648 posts)McConnell got Trump's approval fr the bill, so the country could carry on with business, in exchange for McConnell's support for the Presidential Order of Emergency.
Trump gets what he wanted....because McConnell gave it to him. Because that's all they could get from the Democrats, as McConnell explained to Trump.
IMO, McConnell will never vote to impeach Trump. He can't, really, because he's in bed with the Russians, too.
