Hopefully what Trump said will come back to haunt him.

It's all over the news. He basically said I am going to conspire with foreign nations. Maybe this will be the mistake we have been waiting for. This is really bad.

Obstructing the investigation and got away with it sooo?

I think we are stuck with the bastard till 2020 - We must make sure we vote him out. And do it in strong numbers so there is no doubt that he is rejected!

Evidently if they don’t comply with a federal court order, the US Marshalls can arrest them because they work for the Courts. At least that’s how I understand it.

It was just more sneaky bullshit from Trump. Remember, he personally dictated a lying memo from Air Force One saying that the Trump Tower meeting with the Russians was about adoption. That shows he knows that taking "oppo research" from the Russians is wrong.

Trump's problem now is that he knowingly did something wrong, and the Mueller Report makes it clear that he and his campaign did. Today was all about claiming ignorance that it was wrong. How does he do that most effectively? He says he would do it again. He "disagrees" with Wray that it is wrong. He says everybody does it.

Trump got his real message across. Stephanopoulos got owned. The more we point out that Trump said something outrageous, the more it succeeds for him.
