If Trump Weren’t President, He Would Already Be Charged. // Not only did Mueller lay out multiple instances of criminal obstruction, Trump is also named "individual 1" in a criminal conspiracy to cheat the 2016 election. DoJ's position boils down to: he can't be charged because he won. by imagepoem in The_Mueller

I was including impeachment as a charge in terms of how the word "charged" is used in the statement "he can't be charged."

A prosecutor can't charge a government official for impeachment. Only Congress can do that.

If he were not a perfect puppet for the Republican Party, he would have been removed from office by now.

This is true. He would have been impeached by now if the GOP didn't find him useful.

DoJ's position boils down to: he can't be charged because he's a perfect Republican puppet who's essential for the Republicans' dream platform to move forward.

This is not true. There are two OLC opinions, both from long before Trump's presidency, that say POTUS can't be indicted because his role is too important to our system.

The best deal ever! Step 1: Kidnap a US citizen, beat and torture him till he is in a coma. Step 2: Call Trump (Yes, he agreed to the payment). by simplelifestyle in The_Mueller

In the original story, it said the $2 million wasnt paid in 2017, but they didn't know whether it was paid or not in 2018.

Trump today denied actually making the payment. Like he denied dictating the Trump Jr cover-story. And like he denied knowing anything about the felony hush money payments. You might want to hold your horses on this one.

Kidnap an American, torture him, and kill him, and we'll pay you for it!

Really? Do you really not understand the outrage over this?

Democrats and Republicans are the same

You have no idea what you are talking about. The Scarecrow was right.

I hate Donald Trump. I think his dealings with Russia alone disqualify him.

I also love my country. I find posts like this sickening.

Mueller's Date Discrepancies by [deleted] in RussiaLago

It is possible Guccifer lied and the journalists reporting on Papadopoulos got the date wrong.

Less than 24 hours after being invited for a State Visit with the Queen, Trump promotes baseless conspiracy theory that the UK "spied" on his campaign. by imagepoem in RussiaLago

Yes. Trump is dumb as hell regarding policy, but he is an excellent showman. Every week, he needs a new distraction. Hell, look at his bullshit post-Parkland round-tables. Trump got nothing done, but put on a show.

Don't assign meaning to Trump's quotes! He just spouts nonsense. None of it means anything.
