Yup. Good post.twd74 said:The parallel is that, while extra-marital sex is not a crime, men and women will often get caught in all manner of criminal activity to avoid disclosure. It was Clinton lying about his relations, and Trump's Lawyer providing hush money to cover a story that was already out, that has led to further investigations. No worries about a coup, I have been thinking for more that a year that Mueller will not actually get the evidence against Trump; what is likely to happen is a number of people close to Trump are going to be in courtrooms for the next couple of years. Mr. Cohen's illustrious lawyering days may be numbered. None of this rises to the level of Impeachment: not even close in my view.Doc Holliday said:
There's a massive difference between Clinton/Monica and Trump/Stormy.
Clinton got sucked off in the oval office and used his mere presence of being the president as a way to get away with it. And he lied about it to the entire nation under oath.
Trump banged a porn star over a decade ago while he wasn't married. And everyone already knows Trump is a playboy billionaire whose probably slept with hundreds if not thousands of women.
But this investigation is a fishing expedition. It is designed for parallel construction.
It has nothing to do with Russia or collusion.

So, exactly who is leading the coup?

However, I thought they said that they were also looking for evidence of Cohen's involvement with Daniels and his communications with Trump regarding same. If that is the case, that doesn't seem to have anything to do with bank fraud or campaign finance violations.bubbadog said:
Apparently, it is Cohen (not Trump) who is being investigated. It involves possible bank fraud and campaign finance violations.
Count me as one who finds the raid suspicious and potentially setting a dangerous precedent. As an attorney, the FBI raiding my files full of attorney-client communications would be quite troubling. While I am underwhelmed with Mueller's investigation thus far, I see why it is necessary. However, this has a very different feel. This seems almost like a witch hunt.
Trump doesn't understand that you can't fight everyone. So, when you pick fight after fight, it opens up fronts you can't defend.
Assume he agreed the Russians attacked our elections (or disagreed) and/ but actively pursued actions to protect the homeland, he'd have prevented this front from opening up. Instead, he attacks the FBI in a country where everything is illegal.
And he's dirty. (He pays porn stars, skirts taxes, illegally trades with Russians, skirts his financial obligations, cheats on his wives, lies, calls people and says he's someone else).
When they come after you, it's often just "doing their job".
Even when it's personal.
The FBI, or the EPA, for that matter doesn't need to get "personal". It's dangerous for our country for the FBI, IRS, etc to get personal.
They don't get personal. They get legal.
It exists to sue the Clintons. That's its only purpose.corncob pipe said:

I asked you this before and you didn't answer: how many indictment/convictions by Starr/Mueller?
Wrong.
Let's just jump to convictions: Papadopoulos.
No waiting, Doc, the facts preceded your post.

Didn't Guliani say the NY Office of the FBI was virulently anti Hillary and very pro Trump?riflebear said:
Count me as panicked. The FBI & NYC officials who are so anti Trump it's incredible just seized info from Trump's attorney who has been intimately involved w/ him and his businesses for years. They used the Stormy stuff to open up a whole new bag of who knows what. We all know NYC prosecutors can't stand Trump and now they also have all his attorney's personal info on his businesses. This is getting crazy and as we all know never should have been started in the first place because of fake info. This all should be happening against Clinton & her foundation but somehow (and give the liberals credit) they were able to use their unethical zero character positions to manipulate everyone into going after Trump.
Go after any billionaire's attorney client privilege and you will never have another businessman run for office again.
Under oath is the key. I never thought Clinton's lying about affairs was in the spirit of perjury charges, but by the letter of the law, it is perjury. As someone else said in this thread, you don't necessarily need a true crime to impeach a president, but have a crime sure does help. And lying alone about an affair isn't a crime, but lying under oath or possible campaign finance charges would certainly be enough. We shall see.PartyBear said:
The precedent for impeachment set in the Clinton case is pretty low actually. If denying an affair is impeachable (and it is now precedent) then I'm absolutly sure Mueller has a hell of alot more than that. Hell Trump's tweets are practically a prima facie case of obstruction just right there. I sense this is not going to end well at all for Trump and he may take the party down with him.
And Mueller has no interest in asking Trump about sex outside of marriage under oath to see if he denies adultery. He already has real stuff he is working on.
The Whitewater investigation started in 1994 and ended with a final report in 2000. It resulted in 12 convictions. Trumpgate is barely a year old. There are nearly 20 guilty pleas and indictments, including his national security advisor, campaign manager, 13 Russian nationals, etc. No one in their right mind would think that Trump is somehow the poor, mistreated innocent in this one. Mueller is known for his honesty and integrity. Trump is a known liar, with ties to organized crime and the Russian mob. He was in the casino business in Atlantic City and was in RE in the New York area and people on this board think that he's Mother Theresa....Johnny Bear said:Wrong.HuMcK said:
The precedent was set in the 90s by Kenn Starr. He investigated 15yr old land deals and ended up impeaching a sitting POTUS over an affair. Starr even threatened Lewinsky with jail-time to force her to testify against Clinton. Now we have a POTUS credibly accused of espionage against the United States and y'all are griping about the investigation being too aggressive and "setting precedents". People that paid attention to the supposedly "fake news" about Trump and his associates have been laying out how this would probably go since it started, so y'all can drop the surprise act at any time.
Starr's investigation ended with a detailed report about obstruction of justice and perjury committed by a sitting POTUS - Bill Clinton. It wasn't about "an affair" - the evidence relating to the affair was a means to the end of proving the obstruction and perjury cases. Congratulations on memorizing that talking point, however.
As far as presently having a POTUS "credibly accused of espionage against the United States" - after about a year and a half of an exhaustive investigation cheered on by MSM hacks and liberals like you literally dying for anything to prove the wholly made up accusation of Russian collusion, there is still not one shred of evidence that it happened. Zip. Zilch. Narryin. Notta.

Yep, he got OJ off the hook through concocting a lie and discrediting iron clad evidence. Impressive. And, yes, I guess Harvard (and you) are impressed by things like his defense of OJ. He will say or do anything and represent the most reprehensible, such as OJ or Trump (no, he does not represent Trump now but he would, when a lot of self respecting attorneys won't).

They're scared ****less. Trump must be desperate to know what they have on him if he's gonna have Nunes force the issue in an ongoing investigation like this. Seriously, in what world is it appropriate for Nunes to be demanding docs that form the basis of an investigation that hasn't finished yet?
They are scared Shxtless and Nunez is using his congressional position to assist in obstruction. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in trouble. He has been a blatant idiot in this to the point he has made himself a party.
Nunez is a joke. There is NO basis for impeaching either and he stated none. They are following the rule of law rather than directives from Trump. This hardly is an impeachable offense, and there are not enough Trumpists to impeach them. Trump can fire them, however, which may well happen. Trumpism is your credo, which is a full fledged belief in Trump over everything else. I doubt it will last but it is doing lasting damage, just like the last liar who held the seat - Clinton.Doc Holliday said:
Nunez said congress will hold impeachment on Wray and Rosenstein tomorrow if they do not turn over the EC origination documents.
As for Nunez, he will be in the seat for less than a year. Regrettably, the Republican Party has gone all in on Trumpism, and will lose the house this fall. The long term consequences may be good, namely a return of the traditional Republican Party, though I doubt it. We will be governed by the extremes, liars like Trump, Nunez and Cruz or liars like Warren, Pelosi and Schumer. Certainly a great fall from Lincoln ....
