This will keep getting worse….
Those of you that voted for this- you MUST be starting to realize this will not end well for you, right?
You still have NO idea how much worse it will get for you… not a goddamn clue…
Of course this is a tragedy for all Americans… a stupid traitorous minority installed an inept criminal as our leader… not just a Criminal, mind you, but one that was compromised by a hostile foreign power. HOPEFULLY enough of our basic institutions remain to allow his removal via the constitutional process…
But here’s the rub… No one believes that if required to vacate the office that Trump will peacefully do so… No one expects him to acquiesce to the law. Not even those that voted for him think him capable of peacefully submitting to the law- hell, they VOTED for him PRECISELY BECAUSE he was a strongman that would smash the rules…
So what happens if he is impeached and refuses to go? If he declares its fake news? If he demands his supporters to take to the streets?
And if he ISN’T impeached? Well then he will accelerate his destruction of the constitution and the institutions that enforce it so he will not be threatened by it again… and once that happens there will be no road back to the nation we once were…
There is no way out of this that avoids grave damage to our nation… but if Trump survives as president, we are looking at a very ugly future.
Either way, those that voted for this will pay a heavy price, you deserve all of what’s coming and so much more…
President Donald Trump directed his longtime attorney Michael Cohen to lie to Congress about negotiations to build a Trump Tower in Moscow, according to two federal law enforcement officials involved in an investigation of the matter.
Trump also supported a plan, set up by Cohen, to visit Russia during the presidential campaign, in order to personally meet President Vladimir Putin and jump-start the tower negotiations. “Make it happen,” the sources said Trump told Cohen.
And even as Trump told the public he had no business deals with Russia, the sources said Trump and his children, Ivanka and Donald Trump Jr., received regular, detailed updates about the real estate development from Cohen, whom they put in charge of the project.
Now the two sources have told BuzzFeed News that Cohen also told the special counsel that after the election, the president personally instructed him to lie — by claiming that negotiations ended months earlier than they actually did — in order to obscure Trump’s involvement.
The special counsel’s office learned about Trump’s directive for Cohen to lie to Congress through interviews with multiple witnesses from the Trump Organization and internal company emails, text messages, and a cache of other documents. Cohen then acknowledged those instructions during his interviews with that office.
This revelation is not the first evidence to suggest the president may have attempted to obstruct the FBI and special counsel investigations into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.
But Cohen’s testimony marks a significant new frontier: It is the first known example of Trump explicitly telling a subordinate to lie directly about his own dealings with Russia.
