Well…you know, I think I’m losing my ability to be surprised at how little the rule of law means to the repubs these days…the supposed “law and order” party has been exposed as the lawbreaker party and there is more of it every damn day. One jaw dropper that the Mueller report exposed is that Richard Burr, the repub chair of the senate intelligence committee ran to the White House to give trump and his lawyers information that was in a private FBI briefing on the Russia probe about who was a target of the probe. Now, let that sink in a minute…a senior repub senator is briefed on confidential FBI investigation and then gives the targets a heads up so they can figure out how to obstruct the investigation…now, let’s try a little exercise here to really drive home how serious this is…all you have to do is replace trump’s lawyers and trump with mobster John Gotti’s lawyers and John Gotti and then see if it’s all perfectly fine that Burr tipped off the subject of an investigation. Doesn’t seem right, does it? Of course it isn’t….if this was anyone else but a powerful senator, they would be sitting in jail right now for obstruction of an FBI investigation….what happens now? Do the rest of the repubs in the senate censure him? Okay…I’m laughing at that one, too…of course they won’t…they’ll probably just pat him on the back and say “good job” for protecting their criminal in the WH…when the hell does this crap end? Impeach…

It’s official…Barr’s a criminal, too…
Well…welcome to the latest repub coverup of trump’s criminality…did you expect anything different from Bill Barr? He is editing the Mueller report to make sure it doesn’t say anything bad about trump and trying to keep that information from the congress who has the right to see it…this is as much obstruction of justice as anything trump has done and the congress needs to hold him accountable…and just this morning it got so, so much worse with Barr announcing that he is going to “investigate” the people in the intel community who found that the Russians were helping trump…calling these folks doing their jobs protecting the US “spies” for investigating the clear contacts between trump and Russian spies. So, this is where we’re at…we have a lawless administration using the tactics of every would be dictator in the world being aided and abetted by the entire repub party and they will destroy this country before the next election when we can throw them out…there may be too much damage to repair and I will blame the repubs for helping it happen…impeach….
A bad day for trump…
Well…not sure if it was coordinated or not, but there was loads of bad news coming out of the House yesterday for the idiot trump and his minions. The house Ways and Means committee who deals with all tax issues, formally requested 6 years of idiot boy’s personal tax returns along with the returns of about a half dozen of his holding companies….the key here is the request went to the IRS under a law that was specifically written in the 1920′s to get the tax returns of Woodrow Wilson and others in his administration as the House was investigating corruption…sound familiar? The key thing here is that they don’t have to get trump’s permission to get them and the IRS is required to hand over any requested return to the chair of the committee….and trump is so ignorant of how this works that he spouted off yesterday with his tired old talking point that his returns are still under audit so he can’t release them…donnie, donnie, get it through your thick head, you don’t have anything to do with this process…you can’t stop it you moron. The second bit of bad news that trump got was that the Jerry Nadler, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee got a subpoena approved to send to Bill Barr for the entire, unredacted Mueller report and all of the underlying information…not the justice obstructing 4 page propaganda letter that Barr released…and Nadler is ready to go to court to get the report, but he is being nice about it and giving Barr the opportunity to do what’s right instead of obstructing justice…remember, Bill…John Mitchell went to prison for 19 months for doing just what you’re doing when he tried to protect Nixon…oh, and one last thing…investigators and prosecutors who worked on the Mueller report are calling bullshit on Barr and his summary’s conclusion that trump didn’t obstruct justice…saying that it is a total misrepresentation of what is actually in the report….so, trump had a very no good, terrible day yesterday…and that is going to continue until he’s gone and in prison….can’t wait for today’s meltdown….impeach…
Another day…another two scandals…
Well…is anyone else just getting damn tired of the unending stream of scandals coming from the trump crime family every disgusting day? Following and writing about this stuff is just so corrosive that I do think it’s affecting my brain and is triggering my depression…I mean, how the hell do you have two scandals in one day? The NYT Monday night dropped a bombshell that trump had been trying to interfere in the SDNY prosecution of Michael Cohen by getting one of the cronies that he appointed to that office to take over the investigation…but, the one little problem is that this idiot promised to recuse himself from anything trump related in that office (yeah, I know, what the hell else would he have to do?) but idiot boy tried to get this other idiot to un-recuse himself which he wouldn’t do. Then trump got the acting AG Whitaker to pressure the second idiot and he still refused and that set trump off to the point of screaming at Whitaker. Of course, Whitaker lied about the irate phone calls from trump under oath, in front of a House committee and now the chair of that committee, Jerry Nadler, wants Whitaker back soonest to ask him about his lies…and remember this, one of the felonies that Michael Cohen is going to jail for is lying to congress…so bye, bye Whitaker…you can keep Cohen company when you go to jail with him…I wonder how long it’s going to take for these morons to understand that trump is deadly poison to them and their careers? I guess it just shows that the only people willing to work for trump are the dumbest people in the world…a really good fit for trumpworld…impeach…oh, that was only one scandal…this one was getting too long so I think I just do another one on today’s scandal but, not for awhile…
The end is coming…
Well…cripes, this is what I get from watching Gotham and The Orville last night instead of watching Rachel…a bombshell report from Buzzfeed lays it out that there is testimony and evidence that the idiot trump told Michael Cohen to lie to congress about his trump tower project in Moscow that trump constantly lied about and said he had “no business in Russia”. So, what does this mean? To me, and to everyone else who is not a repub, it means that it is clear that idiot boy suborned perjury…meaning that he directed someone to lie on his behalf…and the second part of that is that this is clear obstruction of justice that has nothing to do with the Mueller investigation but is in addition to it…this also lays bare the leverage that Putin had on trump after trump lied and lied and lied on the campaign trail and even after he was installed as president…and it is exactly the crime that Cohen is going to prison for for more than 3 years. Now we know why trump has been kissing Putin’s ass for so long and why he has destroyed our middle east foreign policy to help Putin…he was scared that Putin would reveal that he was a criminal, and this is just normal spycraft for the Russians that they have used for years and Putin is an expert at it. So, the end is finally coming and I expect there will be articles of impeachment filed before the end of the month or idiot boy will resign…but, this won’t be the end for trump…Pence may pardon him for federal crimes, but there are so many state investigations going on of trump and his businesses that it appears he will spend the rest of his life in prison…along with his children who are neck deep in all of this, too…good riddance…impeach…
This is what happens when an idiot thinks he’s a genius…
Well…haven’t been watching much news lately, preferring to read print instead but last night I turned on Rachel since there was nothing good on tv and, without cocktails, I get bored pretty easily. It was an interesting show comparing what crimes Nixon was impeached for to what the idiot trump has been doing since he was installed. The conclusion was that trump is much, much worse…attempting to obstruct justice on an almost hourly basis and using the same tactics as Nixon did to subvert the Justice Department. One of the details of obstruction, and written right into the law, is dangling a pardon in front of people who are essential to the investigation into crimes committed by the president…something that idiot boy does on a daily basis and especially in regard to Paul Manafort. With it being revealed that Manfort blew up his plea agreement with Mueller by lying to and spying on Mueller and his investigation, I can see trump sitting in the WH thinking he is the most clever person in the world by getting Manafort to do that…but, Mueller is playing eleventy dimension chess while trump is playing checkers….there was a reason that none of the past few days revelations came out until trump had submitted his answers to Mueller’s questions…Mueller knew that Manafort was spying and lying and he knew that with the coordination between trump’s and Manfort’s lawyers, he had the evidence that trump was committing perjury in those answers…this was all because trump is an idiot who thinks he is a genius and truly believed that he was smarter than Mueller…and everyone who has ever listened to trump knows that is a huge laugh. Today, the dominoes continued to tumble with the pleas of Michael Cohen to many more crimes that he did for trump…and, with 70 hours more testimony, Cohen has given Mueller what must be getting close to being the final nails in trump’s coffin. No matter what trump wishes for, the Mueller investigation is not winding down but speeding up and it looks like the timing of the release of the report should be just when the dems take charge of the House and can use the information to reveal just how big a bag of crooks that trump and his cronies are….and I just can’t wait…impeach…
He really is that dumb…
Well…the dumpster fire in the WH continues to burn with the fire of a hundred suns and the idiot in chief continues to throw more fuel on it with his own behavior. Just yesterday, idiot boy revoked the security clearance of former CIA chief John Brennan just because he’s a spiteful little bitch and his thin skin can’t take the criticism that Brennan has been leveling for the past year…and, to top that off, trump actually told the WSJ it was because Brennan was involved in investigating the crimes that trump committed when he conspired with Russia…and boys and girls can you guess what that is? Ding, ding, ding….you got it, obstruction of justice! And the moron in chief is doing all this right out in the open since he is too stupid to understand what the law is….this is exactly the abuse of power that got Nixon impeached…using the government to attack his “enemies”. Oh, and guess what the chief idiot is also doing like Nixon? Keeping an enemies list and everyone on it was or is involved with the Mueller investigation….cripes, even I could get a conviction of obstruction with everything trump has done….impeach…
Can’t any of his lawyers tell him to shut his trap?
Well….have been watching the start of the Manafort trial and the idiot trump’s twitter reaction to it and the question comes to me: Can’t any of his lawyers tell him to shut his trap? Ever since the trial has started, idiot boy has been jury tampering and trying even more to obstruct justice by calling the trial a “witch hunt” and continually saying that Mueller is “conflicted” in his investigation. Now, for anyone else in the US who had said and done one tenth of what idiot boy has said and done, there would be charges filed and we would have been treated to a “perp walk” with the big orange idiot heading for jail…I know that Mueller is looking at every tweet and using it to bolster his case of obstruction against trump, but, damn, he needs to do something now before the US is damaged even more by the orange menace. From everything I’ve read about his trial, Manafort is going down….and, as I’ve said before, trump used the same bank fraud and money laundering methods that Manafort did…I wonder if that is why trump is losing his mind over this trial? Hope he does…impeach…
Let’s compare…
Well….throughout this whole debacle of lawlessness that is the trump administration, and with the daily comparisons to Watergate, we really need to take a look at the two scandals to see which one is worse…got any idea? Over the course of the Watergate investigation/prosecutions, there were 40 Nixon administration personnel who were convicted of some sort of crime and went to jail, mostly for lying to the FBI or obstruction of justice. As of today, there have been twice that many people interviewed in the idiot trump’s crime administration…and Mueller isn’t done yet. While Nixon’s crimes were essentially domestic and dealt with political crimes…trump’s crimes are so much more than that…I mean working with a foreign government to steal an election and then trying to cover it up is both domestic and international crime…and that is not even touching on the money laundering, bribery, and spying for our enemies to try to undermine the US foreign policy. So, while the Watergate comparison is shorthand for a criminal conspiracy and is of some use here, trump and his cronies crimes are so much worse that to lessen them to the level of Watergate ignores the scope and scale of the idiot trump’s and the repubs lawlessness….this will turn out to be the biggest criminal conspiracy in the history of this country and has been coming since the repubs started thinking that the laws of this country don’t apply to them and they can do whatever they want…and I blame Obama for part of that, letting the torturers in the Bush administration get away with hundreds of felonies and breaking international law…after that, why wouldn’t they believe that the law doesn’t apply to them? Impeach….
Nunes worked with the WH on his “memo”
Well…with the little tidbit that I just read, Devin Nunes behavior is explained in regard to the “memo” that was supposed to expose corruption in the FBI and Mueller’s investigation….he was working with trump and his cronies and was given marching orders to do the attacks…and this was done by selectively including and editing secret information that was given to Nunes by the justice department. So, let’s get this “bombshell” straight…..lies, lies, lies, lies, and more lies under the direction of trump and his minions…does this sound familiar? I mean the lies…this is a totally fabricated attempt to derail the Mueller investigation….I wonder if ole Devin is so stupid that he can’t see that this is obstruction of justice? Yep, he is…and he doesn’t understand that congress is supposed to be a check on the executive branch…not a co-conspirator in committing crimes….and Paul Ryan has to know what Nunes is doing and that brings him right in to the conspiracy, too…cripes, I don’t think there are enough jail cells for all of the repubs who are going down…impeach….
