I can only hope that this will destroy the Republican Party that has been transformed into a criminal fascist enterprise.

(-) Individual-1 = (+) America

Nicole Wallace was though.

all the summaries seem to be skirting around that

Someday, somehow I'm just hoping one of these court filings mentions him by name instead of hiding it behind "Individual No 1" or some such legal cover.

"Individual 1... was later elected President."

"11 Cohen was previously the subject of an FEC complaint for making unlawful contributions to
Donald Trump’s nascent campaign for the 2012 presidency. The complaint was dismissed for jurisdictional
reasons, but it certainly put Cohen on notice of the applicable campaign finance regulations. See In the
Matter of Donald J. Trump, Michael Cohen, et al., MUR 6462 (Sept. 18, 2013)."

The bigger they are, the harder they fall.

And the donald is rather large. Does "bigly" count, too?

“What are we, they, going to do with that information?”

I'm waiting with bated breath...

Or will this crime be tossed and burned into the stinking dumpster fire along with the rest?

to ignore it entirely. Even though Paul Ryan should be asking for the articles of impeachment now.

There is no hiding from it anymore.

We can't play nice anymore. Let the consequences be damned. They have a duty and they can no loner ignore it.

...that they likely don't have because the GOP sold its soul to the devil?

of course the Senate will not remove, but impeachment is now an imperative. In the House the potential will be there.

But if the senate doesn't remove him, I fear it will just empower him.

for us I think, in this moment in time, fear is something to be disposed of.

..DO nothing and refuse impeachment , they must know they too could be held for obstruction when a President committed a felony , and still refused to do what the law calls for them to do.

No. He apparently is above the law according to a Justice Department memo. Supposedly sitting Presidents can't be indicted for any criminal activity according to that memo. It's never been challenged in court.

Does anyone have a link where we can read that Justice Department memo?

And impeachment is certainly better than jail time and huge fines for Trump and his criminal family. If impeachment seems likely Trump will resign and go on to further enrich himself and family members. And he will go on to fund far right neo-fascist groups free from any prison time. No big deal.

even if they can't indict him now, the state of NY can - on a slew of other charges, after he's out of office. His kids as well.

That's the remedy provided by the constitution for this very situation. Impeach him and then give him his trial in the Senate.

When does he go on trial?

No wonder he’s had his Depends in a bunch during the last day or so.

I heard Individual 1 was boarding Marine One and heading out of town earlier today. If he really knew what was coming down, he’d have flown to Moscow or Vladivostok, where he could avoid extradition. (But not Vlad’s own system of justice).

Should have stayed in South America while he was at the G-20 earlier this week... but then, forward-thinking was never one of his strong suits.

Not sure what he means by that.

this completely cleared him. Because 33% of this country actually believe him and he knows it.

That sentencing memo is direct and to the point. Induvidual -1 is Trump. Trump committed felonies. Multiple felonies. And engaged in conspiracy to commit felonies with Cohen. It’s right there in black and white!

redeemed!

What's up with that??!!

Let the Magats see what the SCOTUS does with that. With the rigged majority, they can get a first hand look at the rule of law being ignored. Fucking revolution can't start soon enough.

throw away the key. Include the whole incestuous family along with him and confiscate all their illegally gained assets, including those from the $500 million dollar tax fraud. Oh yes, include Pence, McConnell and Ryan for campaign funding violations and for illegally conspiring against America by plotting with a foreign country etc. etc.

Of course, none of this should be done until Mueller's' full report is out, want to be sure to capture all the criminal & treasonous fraud these rw asses committed and let America see the Anti-American horror that the republican party has become.

This tease has gone on long enough.
