Without the Republican Controlled Senate, and the Republican controlled Dept. of Justice, Trump would have no power and these things would not be happening.....

They are completely complicit in this coup, period. Whoever???? is truly running this thing made damn sure they were involved in the Russian Money Campaign to their elections, and also had more compromising info on them than J. Edgar Hoover had on everyone during his time......

The Dem's keep concentrating on Trump and not the real corruption taking place by the Republicans in Congress while Trump diverts the public's attention each and every day, from the absolute ton of stuff the Repubs in congress are shoving thru.....

After watching this being engineered & orchestrated since Reagan's first day in office, (Actually Daddy Bush, Reagan was a senile pawn from day one.) I was screaming from the roof tops what they were doing and no one was paying attention and just wrote me off as a left wing fanatic.

Well folks, I think the coup was well under way with the Supremes ILLEGALLY deciding the 2000 election, their interference in the 2004 election and them paralyzing Obama for eight years.

I fear it has gone past the point of no return...The coup is almost complete.......Look at the them defying all laws and regulations and doing whatever they please un-abated. So what if the House impeaches, they send it to the Republican controlled Senate for impeachment trials and the Republican controlled DOJ for prosecution under Director BARR.....good luck with impeachment......

Surely you jest! The constitution is providing us with zero relief. The country is broken, and those in the charge are completely lawless. Justice, if there is any justice to be had any longer, will come from our hands, and not from the document this government has zero regard for.

Trump wants the presidency to be passed down to his corrupt spawn. They will have to kill or imprison us all for that to happen. Louis and Marie- Antoinette did not fare so well when the people rose up.

When an illegitimate president and career corrupt criminal is installed by an foreign enemy of this country. He now picks and chooses what laws he can abide by, and which ones he can simply ignore , or go after others with using his installed version of a Micheal Cohen as his personal fixer now. We now have no system of justice if these criminals take over, and if this isn't stopped at once.

"I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my Ability, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Oath of office of the President of the United States - Wikipedia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_of_office_of_the_President_of_the_United_States

He's done NOTHING of the kind. NOTHING of the kind. All he cares about is how to "preserve, protect and defend" HIMSELF (and his money and his power).

Trump loves America when it means money, power, and lawyers to do his bidding. Not so much when government tells him he can't do something. Then he is the victim, throws a tantrum, and shits on the constitution anyway. Until the GOP stands up to him, he really is above the law.

Luke Perry at 52, and John Singleton at 51.

If there is any truth to the saying "The third one is a charm", or "these things happen in threes", then a certain 72 year-older is way the f*ck overdue to drop f*cking dead in his tracks and end this rogue crap.

And that's all I have to say about that.

But.....public opinion may only rise to that if more information is released.

And more information may only be released if Articles of Impeachment are filed and access is mandated.
