New York is certainly okay with bringing charges to a former President if that President is Trump lol*if a dem Administration is ok with indicting a formal President, they might not with the "for the good of the country" BS

Tish James can write her own ticket.New York is certainly okay with bringing charges to a former President if that President is Trump lol
Yeah I expect so. And yet for the good of the country would be showing that there is accountability for crimes at the highest level, but I fear that like all of his crime-ridden life he will get away with it while everyone around him gets put away. Great avatar pic btw, lol.*if a dem Administration is ok with indicting a formal President, they might not with the "for the good of the country" BS
Neither Tish James nor Cuomo has any incentive to let Trump slide or pardon him for state charges. Indicting Trump and co. in NY state will be beyond popular.Yeah I expect so.

Michigan Republican Paul Mitchell plans to exit Congress, voicing frustration that "rhetoric overwhelms policy"
Rep. Paul Mitchell (R-#MI10) from House floor through his tears: "I decided I will not seek to continue to represent Michigan's 10th Congressional district next term. After serving out the remainder of the 116th Congress, I'll return to my family and to our small farm.'

This hearing has been a success.
Trump's going on a Twitter fit reinforces that fact.
Trump is exonerated anyway by not impeaching him or moving forward with any of the information that comes out of this.
Like ok good job Ted for making that clear. Now what?
Is it
I hope so, but didn't NY just let him off with the campaign finance issue despite him being the co-conspirator in a crime that his lawyer is already in prison for?Neither Tish James nor Cuomo has any incentive to let Trump slide or pardon him for state charges. Indicting Trump and co. in NY state will be beyond popular.
Don't confuse this panel as being representative of the caucus.I honestly don't think Nancy even realized how much was going to come out of this.
Her caucus wants impeachment.
That's a little disingenuous. We're approaching half the caucus supporting impeachment publicly, and if a majority of the Judiciary Committee supports it, that's a big step.Don't confuse this panel as being representative of the caucus.
Actually these are a good bellweather for how politicians view the 2020 landscape. Hopefully we see more of these.
He literally doesn't want to be the face of his own report. I understand the emotional aspects, but jesus that's a weird look.NEW: A congressional source involved in negotiations surrounding Mueller's appearance tells @NBCNews that Mueller's team specifically informed the cmtes. that he would decline to read from his report during the hearing - @AlexNBCNews / @mikememoli

The indictment or criminal prosecution of a sitting President would unconstitutionally undermine the capacity of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions.
It's the judgement that you cannot charge a sitting President. It hasn't been constitutionally tested, but the justice department adhere to it.
I'm not being disingenuous. This subject has been part of the focus of their committee and they likely are also the most informed on the subject either by requirement or motivation. It may be a precursor of how the rank and file may sway, but I don't see it as a contemporaneous representation of the caucus.That's a little disingenuous. We're approaching half the caucus supporting impeachment publicly, and if a majority of the Judiciary Committee supports it, that's a big step.
Is the suggestion that it was the decision of the AG specifically?
Uh Oh, Curbelo won't try to reclaim FL-26.
Even though a McLaughlin poll has him ahead! (LOL)
Again--notice Republicans say nothing about instruction and focus only on Russia. Not a good path to take.

Yeah, I'm very curious to see how schiff approaches the hearing this afternoon.It HAS to be.
The head of the investigation just gave you the best sound bite that you can get out of this mess. That the President would have been charged with a crime if not for the OLC memo.
That's it. That's really it.
And that's really the double edged sword that really puts the likes of Pelosi and Schiff in a bind. There's no more stalling. There's no more info you could gather, no further interview you could call. You're not going to get a clearer mandate than what you got today. So you HAVE to act, or spend every moment from now until election day defending why you didn't.
Even he knows McLaughlin is shit
Why? The collusion part is the bit everyone was most interested in. "There was no crime to obstruct!!!!" Is probably their best play.
Yeah, they are getting some sound bites, but it is the same talking point that has been talked about before. They aren't getting much out of him despite trying to look strong.Again--notice Republicans say nothing about instruction and focus only on Russia. Not a good path to take.
I'm optimistic. He's pretty sharp.Yeah, I'm very curious to see how schiff approaches the hearing this afternoon.
The republicans are probably going ot be more effective advocates than dems themselves because the dems are too timid and the reps are so fucking brazen. Karma, i suppose.Calling him un-american, insulting his team, saying he is obstructing justice himself, these republicans are really poking a sleeping bear here. The only thing in my view that is keeping Mueller from just outright saying Trump is guilty and should have been indicted is his sense of duty and loyalty to tradition. Why these dumbass GOP moron's are risking pissing him off for some shitty soundbite is remarkable. Like that last GOP guy, you can just see Mueller getting frustrated and pissed. Hopefully he just says fuck it at some point and just lays it all out. Just sucks he wont...
