President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Or, standard language.

 

Mueller: Trump Team Meddling In Obama Diplomacy Extended Beyond Flynn

 

How many years can you get for meddling?

I've looked for hope in weird places this last year, but that guy:

1) Is often very wrong.

2) Does the "RT if you agree" thing, which I fucking hate.

White House Begins Christmas Season With Ceremonial Lighting Of Cross

 

That made me shout laugh.

 

"Anyone who did perjure themselves" includes Kusher, Trump Jr. and Sessions. All three had the exact same case of the "I don't remembers" that Flynn is being charged with.

As for the President himself, whether or not he can be charged is a legal question that has never been fully tested in courts, so we don't know. We *do* know that there is a way for the President to face charges for obstruction of justice. It's been used once in my lifetime, and a little before that it was used to force a President to resign for doing exactly what Trump did.

 

On of the FB comments is "Treason's Greetings from the Trump Family"

 

Yup. The mention of Obama will turn the tide.

 

As to "Who was the senior official of the transition team", I'll put this back up.
