Honestly? I think the whole Republican party is just ready to move past this. Trump admits it, Democrats impeach, Republicans refuse to remove him. Then they try and come up with a strategy to make America not care. Not really seeing any other play here.Mulvaney is a lot of things... A craven opportunist, for certain. But he's not dumb.
Maybe they just don't give a shit anymore? Instead of trying to fight back against it, just admit it and see what happens? He'll never get removed from office even if he admits to a crime... Maybe the plan is to say 'Yeah, I broke the law. But that law is stupid! Everyone does it!'
It was only a matter of time. Just didn't think we'd get here so soon... The investigation is just beginning.
First WH counsel, now the DoJ has to cover their asses because they confidently came out and said this wasn't worth investigating.
Edit: you also see the ouroboros of corruption at play here. Because Barr has announced the DoJ is officially "looking into" the origins of the Russia probe, the rest of the admin uses that announcement as carte blanche.
This is exactly what Nixon thought, and what everyone agreed with, until one day it wasn't true anymore.Republicans will NEVER turn on their president and Trump knows it.
I mean yes. But these are different times. Republicans really do seem to be all in on "fuck everything we just have to win".This is exactly what Nixon thought, and what everyone agreed with, until one day it wasn't true anymore.
They need to push for it. harder than they are now. This is stupid.

So it takes republicans to put them own self in jail?They can push all they want but it's Republicans who have to pull the trigger.
Yep, the democrats know they have until next November and the way this is going it wont be mid-December before the pitchforks come out.They can push all they want but it's Republicans who have to pull the trigger.

They can deny it all they want, it's only a matter of time before Trump himself says "yeah it's true, so what".
Yeah, well what do they say about repetition? Dont hold one for a couple hundred days (I have no idea when the last one was) and blow your load all over the press like this idiot did.
Yes, because repulicans have the Senate and presidency. Thank voters.
Yep. I mean, Republicans and their supporters might not like to pay attention, but this shit has been pretty consistent since 2016. Trump will admit it now. Mark my words.

Oh yeah I know you are. I changed the post a little bit.
Uhh... What?
Mulvaney is not an idiot. Trump is for sure, but why would he just come out and admit to committing a crime?
I'm so lost.
Democrats don't control the Senate.If this whole administration is not in jail by the time this is over, fuck the democrats.

Democrats don't have the power to prosecute shit with or without impeachment. They can't just randomly throw people in jail.
Well now it makes sense why they are so blatant and out in the open.

Fake news. Obama never did press briefings according to OAN.com. Or maybe it was Breitbart. But anyway, who cares? Press is fake news. I don't want to be lied to.
Not talking about impeachment. I am talking about everyone else surrounding the president.
Shouldn't this mean the Dems end the inquiry and start full-on impeachment?
They're protected by the Senate and millions of racists will still vote for them, so what do they have to lose.
What exactly would you like Nancy Pelosi to do more than she is doing right now?
If this whole administration is not in jail by the time this is over, fuck the democrats.
The House of Representatives is not a law enforcement body, it's a legislative body. The Department of Justice (FBI, US Attorneys) are the ones who put people in jail for crimes and enforce the laws. You honestly sound like you have no idea how anything works and are just ranting "DO SOMETHING" while the Democrats are doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing now.They need to push for it. harder than they are now. This is stupid.
He already did and then asked the Ukraine and China to do it again from the WH lawn.This is just step one of Trump admitting it. See y'all tomorrow.
Well yeah sure but I expect him to directly admit this was a quid pro quo. Now we wait.He already did and then asked the Ukraine and China to do it again from the WH lawn.
Thanks for the info. you can have back the snark.The House of Representatives is not a law enforcement body, it's a legislative body. The Department of Justice (FBI, US Attorneys) are the ones who put people in jail for crimes and enforce the laws.

Get over it
