    They should follow every lead. If he comes out clean, I will be the first to admit that I was wrong. There's too much swirling around to really gauge just what the hell was going on. I'm glad they're trying to look into everything.
    Remember what President Clinton's impeachment started out as? They should follow every lead, formally request every email and document even slightly related be preserved and subpoena testimony under oath as well as allow the NSA, CIA, FBI and Treasury to complete full, unimpeded investigations and report to congress. If, after all of that it turns out to fake news? I'll wear a MAGA hat.
    Lol, I'll wear one of those stupid red hats with you

    Manafort faced blackmail attempt, hacks suggest
    Stolen texts appear to show threats to expose relations between Russia-friendly forces, Trump and his former campaign chairman.

    I have no idea how Priebus took the Chief of Staff job. It is a difficult job under most presidents, but must be insane under Trump. He has no real power or authority in the White House, and seems only to be Trump's water boy. Slimy move by Priebus, but I'm sure he was just doing as instructed by Bannon.

  • Well, well, well, what do we have here? If it were "fake news" or there's "nothing there" as Trump and his minions in the White House claim, why are they asking the FBI to "knock down" the Russia-Trump stories? Did wee little handed Donny have his feelings hurt? Or is there much more to this?

    Follow the money.

    You haven't even accepted the terms of the first bet. (That President Trump will serve his full term)
    If you do I will go double or nothing on the boots that if an impeachment were to happen it won't be from this controversy.

    You are not a betting man I see.
    I told that once about myself to a poster on here that wanted to bet that if Donald Trump won he would never post on the forum again and if Donald Trump lost I was to never post on here again.
    I really wanted to take that bet.

    no he won't.

    even if impeached he will not be convicted. the members of congress are so out of touch to the will of the american people that they will vote to do whatever helps them stay in office.

    hell, half of congressional republicans refuse to show up at their own townhalls in their district.

    that to me is sad. if gabby giffords can get shot in the head and still show up to a townhall there is no excuse for these other cowards.

    even though his administration is floundering right now, he is still winning. he can just go on and attack the liberal media to stoke his base.

    Yup. Giffords spoke out today and basically told these scared GOP congresscritters (including my own) to grow some balls and have some courage.

    He'll be impeached. And if he doesn't resign, he'll be convicted. The republican establishment recognizes that our democracy demands accountability and as more and more facts come to light via the processes in progress, it will become untenable for the republicans and many of those who held their noses and voted for Trump to remain silent. And with Pence to step in, what's the downside for them? Watch.
