or maybe...advocate for specific policy that strikes at the root causes that brought about Trump instead of crying about an impeachment that never happens? As long as Citizens United stands, all the impeachment in the world is a waste of time

Citizens United has nothing to do with a foreign government colluding with a Presidential campaign

Stop talking out of your ass

This is hilariously embarrassing but I'm still not sure that the average person cares enough for it to be made an issue. After all, the Democrats are still playing the "I want everyone to like me" game. I'm pretty sure Pelosi transparently stated that impeachment proceedings wouldn't occur simply because impeachments aren't "popular."

Christ, what a mess.

I was on the side of "election results > impeachment" (still kind of am), but you can't ignore this document, it's staggering. Congress needs to act. But the public needs to mobilize too. If the conduct in this document is treated as acceptable, then we are down a path of no return regardless of who wins in 2020.

User Warned: Personal attacks against another member (post-count shaming)
Impeachment is political. Even if you dont impeach or prosecute, this incestigation is POLITICAL in that it shows how CORRUPT this admin and the Republican party is. If you think that doesnt damage his chances in 2020 then you are an idiot.

It won't and it doesn't look like your new account here will either

So Don Jr. isn't in jail right now because of the ol' 'I didn't know I couldn't do that" excuse?

I thought it was always known that the Special Counsel would not indict Donald per policy. It was always going to be up to Congress, and Mueller has been referring investigation out to other agencies..

I guess, but I'm glued to the TV and half of these anchors are attorneys and asking why Mueller didn't bring up charges himself. The waters are really muddy here.

At what point will people stop asking "are impeachment proceedings and a subsequent trial in the Senate good for Democrats? what if it helps Republicans? what if he's impeached but not convicted? how does that play in Wisconsin?" and ask "is this the proper course of action to uphold the rule of law in this country"?

I cynically expect politicians to have their gamesmanship political analysis supersede adherence to law and order, but the public turning into armchair pundits is levels beyond.

Before you start using words like "Citizens United" (a decision that has to do with campaign finance spending and nothing to do with impeachment proceedings) you should probably understand what they mean.

You can forget about impeachment. Straight-up, it's not happening. You need a 2/3rds majority vote in the Senate to impeach, which will never, ever happen so long as McConnell and Republicans are in control of it.
This isn't really accurate. You need a simple majority in the House to impeach. But you do need a supermajority in the Senate to convict and remove, which the GOP would never vote for under any circumstance against a Republican president or official.

everyone who doesn't want impeachment is a Russian operative!!!!!

No, just naive idiots who think watching Russia Today is counter culture and a source of anti-western views that are in no way dictated by the single funder of RT... the Russian government.

You know, the very definition of useful idiots.

One set of laws for the rich and powerful, one set of laws for everyone else.
The hammer needs to fall on Trump and everyone else involved.
This. This country is absolute bullshit in applying laws to the nobility class and financial elite. There are most certainly 2 sets of laws. Most of us deal with the "You better stay in line, peasant!" set on a daily basis.

Money as a vehicle of influence must be removed from politics.

If anything they should go after Barr first. He is a proven liar in an official capacity mere days in to his tenture. He needs to be removed.

Does the report contain the summaries that were written by Muller's team? And if so, are the redacted at all?

From the glossary:

Crocus is the one referenced in the Pee Tape portion that Rick Wilson tweeted. The original Pee Tape allegation was that Trump was recorded in 2013 while visiting for the Moscow-hosted Miss Universe pageant.

Fuck.

We thought the Kraft video was gonna be bad. This shit is real.

Boy, is that Dmitriev-Erik Prince-Nader-Bannon stuff fishy as hell. It's a pity that they don't appear to have been able to pin anything on Prince. The world would be better off if he were serving a lengthy jail sentence.

And the Left will cling to the facts of the report. The right will cling to the Barr Summary.

And frankly the Republicans in the Senate will continue to be complacent in Trumps BS and nothing will happen.

At the end of the day this is just more ammo for the 2020 elections. Hopefully sanity wins out.

Depressing how corrupt our government is.

Only 18 percent of people believed Barr's summary.

18 percent!
