Can you say subpoena. I can, I can say subpoena. Congress is going to be all over Cohen. Hey, did Trump tell him to lie? Oops...

I think Trump loses his dignity when under pressure. He does not understand the maxim:
Never complain; never explain.

When will this illegal Joseph McCarthy style Witch Hunt, one that has shattered so many innocent lives, ever end-or will it just go on forever? After wasting more than $40,000,000 (is that possible?), it has proven only one thing-there was NO Collusion with Russia. So Ridiculous!

Did you ever see an investigation more in search of a crime? At the same time Mueller and the Angry Democrats aren’t even looking at the atrocious, and perhaps subversive, crimes that were committed by Crooked Hillary Clinton and the Democrats. A total disgrace!

Trump: Rosenstein belongs in jail because 'he never should have picked a special counsel'
Updated 11/29/2018 08:18 AM EST
President Donald Trump defended his decision to retweet a meme this week depicting his political opponents behind bars — including his sitting Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein — signaling more storm clouds for the embattled No. 2 at the Justice Department after what appeared to be a brief reprieve from Trump’s attacks.

Although richer than 99.9% of Republican voters, Trump is pretty typical of a Republican and that is why they voted for him rather than somebody a little calmer, like any of the other Republicans running in the GOP primary, except for wacko Ted Cruz, who came in second in the Primaries because he flies off the handle, same as Trump.

Most of the Trump voters I know have some serious mental glitches so they feel comfortable with unstable Trump, who is much the same as they are. But the position of President needs somebody who is much steadier under pressure than most Republican voters or else America gets chaotic decision-making in the White House whenever the President feels overwhelmed by his duties. Trump sure is acting overwhelmed.

That guy can't be sleeping well -- he tweets late at night, yet gets too little accomplished during the day. He might have insomnia keeping him awake at night. I wonder if Trump is making decisions under the influence of Lunesta, Sonata, or Ambien to manage insomnia? That would explain a great deal about his generalized nuttiness. He recently gave a very strange interview showing he is not all there, at least mentally. But isn't that why Trump voters love him? www.vox.com/2018/11/27/18115395/trumps-washington-post-interview-gut

Rudy Giuliani Charged? Donald Trump's Lawyer May Face Scrutiny Over Dealings with Manafort Lawyers

President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani could face being called as a witness or even charged with obstruction of justice if he overstepped the mark in his dealings with Paul Manafort’s legal team, according to legal analysts.

Trump has a well-earned reputation for saying things he doesn’t follow up on. The mere fact that he’s floating a Manafort pardon doesn’t mean that one will happen.

Nonetheless, in this case, not only would a pardon be a stunning abuse of power — even publicly dangling the pardon is. By traditional standards of American governance, these are clear impeachable offenses. But Republicans in Congress have stood behind Trump regardless of how inappropriately he’s behaved, which makes moving forward with the congressional impeachment process pointless.

The fact that Trump’s co-partisans decline to restrain him in any way makes the American constitutional system borderline unworkable.

Remember folks, there is no attorney client privilege for anyone, even for the lawyers when it comes to contacts they've had going back and forth concerning what Manafort told them after Manafort accepted a plea deal. Mueller can subpoena all those involved.

Is anyone excited, I'm excited. Hold onto your hats folks

I disagree. Mainly because no Republicans in the Senate understand that the essence of abuse of power is that an official is abusing powers he genuinely possesses. They keep circling back to the idea that it is only abuse if the President does NOT genuinely have the power.

The reason to dangle a pardon before Paul Manafort is obvious: He’s guilty of serious financial crimes, in major legal trouble because of his guilt, and is also in a position to offer damaging testimony against members of Trump’s inner circle. Trump, however, is in a position to get Manafort off the hook legally if Manafort agrees to protect him, his family, and his associates.

That would be a straightforward transaction, and the US Constitution is clear that Trump has the legal authority to do it. Therefore 100% of GOP Senators have no problem with it. I have not even found any Trump voters who can understand that legal authority to do it does not make it right. Maybe there is a Senator or a voter out there who understands, but they don't want to speak up. If a deranged Trump fan were to get a gun and massacre Mueller’s entire team on the streets of Washington, for example, Trump would have the unquestionable legal authority to pardon the killer. DC is not a state, so murder is a federal crime there — and Trump can pardon anyone for any violation of federal law for any reason. So a pardon is the right thing to do, right? At least if you are a GOP Senator, although you might have to worry about not speaking against the pardon means you, maybe, won't be reelected. Probably safer to say nothing about pardons, one way or the other, and hope the Republican voters forgive you.

If 20 GOP Senators and 47 Democratic Senators would pledge to impeach Trump if he pardons his way out of Mueller's investigation, Trump would probably stop his talk of giving pardons to his buddies. But there are zero GOP Senators who would make the pledge.
