The Donald Trump Score Card

Maybe Melanie is the whistleblower.

 

The whistleblower might be Pence.

Or the bunny that was standing beside Trump.

 

Who is Melanie? You talking about Scary spice or Sporty Spice

You dont even know what the name of your first lady is

 

Again, Its just proves they didnt have direct access to the Russians though

Stone has to go through an Author thats buddies with Assange to try get knowledge of the emails. Instead of just calling the Russians on the bat phone

You will be lucky if Stone spends more than a month in jail if at all

 

Stone could get 50 years behind bars. The judge will decide on February 6th. The important thing here is more and more Americans now know what sort of man Trump is.

The devastating day Trump's presidency came into sharp focus — in Congress, the White House and in court

excerpt:

"Inside a Capitol Hill hearing room, a veteran diplomat testified before the Intelligence Committee and the nation that Trump abused his power by smearing her so that he could, in subversion of American interests, facilitate a deal with Ukraine that would likely help his campaign.

At the same time, a mile and a half away from Capitol Hill at the White House, Trump again tried to discredit former Ukraine Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch as she recounted how the president and his loyalists had damaged those interests, hurt morale at the State Department and tried to sully her reputation, which lawmakers in both parties agreed was stellar.

And before Yovanovitch was done testifying, at a federal courthouse between the Capitol and the White House, a jury convicted longtime Trump political adviser and self-described dirty trickster Roger Stone of lying to Congress and witness tampering in covering up his efforts to coordinate with WikiLeaks, which released a trove of stolen emails to help Trump win the 2016 election."

 

John Dean Reveals Just How Bad This Week’s Been For Trump

John Dean Reveals Just How Bad This Week's Been For Trump | HuffPost

excerpt:

"John Dean, the White House counsel to President Richard M. Nixon once dubbed the “master manipulator” of the Watergate scandal, said President Donald Trump had a rough day on Capitol Hill during the first public impeachment hearing.

“What struck me today in listening to these two witnesses is they already have more than they had against Richard Nixon to impeach him,” Dean said on CNN on Wednesday. “Just on all accounts because the evidence is there.”

Earlier in the day, two witnesses corroborated accounts that Trump withheld U.S. aid to Ukraine to pressure the country into investigating a political rival. Bill Taylor, the acting U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, also provided bombshell new testimony about a phone call between Trump and Gordon Sondland, ambassador to the European Union. Taylor said a staff member who was with Sondland witnessed the call and told him about it.

“Following the call with President Trump, the member of my staff asked Ambassador Sondland what President Trump thought about Ukraine,” Taylor testified. “Ambassador Sondland responded that President Trump cares more about the investigations of [Joe] Biden, which [Trump attorney Rudy] Giuliani was pressing for.”

Dean, who ultimately turned on Nixon and cooperated with prosecutors, said that’s the kind of evidence that didn’t come out until much later in the Watergate proceedings. Early on, he said, “it was my testimony, a few people that were lower in the pecking order than me, and it happened before the tapes.”"

Donald Trump's very historic and very bad week - CNNPolitics

excerpt:


Monday

• Trump can't sue New York State in DC federal court to stop release of tax returns, judge says
• With public hearings set to begin, Giuliani considers launching an impeachment podcast

Tuesday

• Impeachment investigators slate open hearings for 8 more witnesses next week
• Democratic voters want the 2020 field to shrink, not grow
• Giuliani builds his new defense strategy as impeachment hearings loom

Wednesday

• Appeals court hands Trump another loss, saying Congress can seek his tax returns
• Republicans shrug off impeachment hearings as 'boring'
• Top US diplomat in Ukraine reveals new information about Trump's views on the country
• Trump to meet Turkey's Erdoğan on first day of public impeachment hearings

Thursday

• Trump asked the Pentagon to explore trench on the border, Pentagon advised against it
• Diplomat who overheard bombshell call between Trump and Sondland set to testify
• Trump asks Supreme Court to block subpoena for tax returns

Friday

• Trump associate Roger Stone has been found guilty
• Newly released transcript of first Trump-Zelensky call raises additional questions
• Former US ambassador to Ukraine to testify in second public impeachment hearing

 

and neither do you.

 

There was so much going on most of the major media didn’t cover the Roger stone conviction. He was convicted on all 7 counts for obstructing a congressional inquiry, lying to investigators under oath and
trying to block the testimony of a witness - the charges carry a maximum prison term of 50 years

 

You have to pardon those with money and connections.

 

If trump loses the election next November (and he will) his first action will be to pardon Stone, Manafort, and Rudy Giuliani, who at that time should be waiting trial on federal charges

 

Quite a busy week

And you put a lot of effort into that post

Too bad none of its really going to mean anything

 

The Mafia can only envy that kind of Golden Parachute, and I think we'll just have to wait and see who our glorious leader feels is worthy of not being thrown under the bus. Never confuse Donald Duck with someone who knows how to make a graceful exit. This could prove to be timeless Three Stooges slapstick.

 

Yes. He’s the sort of man who’s going to be re-elected.

 

He will do it before then.

 

and when he isn't, will you disappear from this forum?

 

William Barr: Democrats' investigations into Trump are political harassment meant to 'sabotage' his presidency

William Barr: Democrats are trying to 'sabotage' Trump administration

excerpts:

"WASHINGTON–Attorney General William Barr said Friday that President Donald Trump's political opponents have pursued a "scorched earth, no-holds-barred resistance" meant to "sabotage" his presidency.

"The pursuit of scores of investigations and an avalanche of subpoenas is meant to incapacitate" the administration, Barr said in a biting address to the conservative Federalist Society.

The attorney general, in a full-throated defense of the president, said the political "harassment" contravenes the intent of the Constitution's framers who, he said, meant to provide the chief executive with sweeping authority.

"I am convinced that the deck has been stacked against the executive," Barr said."


"Before Friday, Barr had said little publicly about the impeachment proceedings, suggesting he might be attempting to distance himself from Trump. But his remarks left no doubt he stands with the president."

 

Trump Sides With War Criminals
Being no different from our enemies has not been the aspiration of previous presidents, nor of our military.

Trump Sides With War Criminals

excerpts:

"President Donald Trump has exercised his authority to intervene in three cases involving war crimes, on the side of the alleged war criminals. He pardoned one serviceman who was convicted of heinous crimes, and another awaiting trial for heinous crimes. He also reversed the demotion of a Navy SEAL convicted of taking trophy pictures with an enemy corpse. All were brought to justice by their fellow servicemen and women; each prosecution relied on testimony from servicemen in the same units who witnessed the war crimes and reported them to military superiors.

This makes Trump the first commander in chief in memory to pardon American servicemen for violent crimes committed in uniform. The justification can be found in a statement Trump made to NBC News in 2016: “You have to play the game the way they are playing the game.” That is, the U.S. should operate the way terrorists operate."



"CNN reported that military officials worried the president would seek to foment rank-and-file support for the pardons, to the detriment of military leaders. Civilians, too, should worry about a commander in chief who seeks to undermine the military chain of command to instill in soldiers a more personal loyalty, especially when the basis for that loyalty is free rein to behave unethically and in violation of the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

The president chose to pardon the three on the second day of televised impeachments hearings in the House of Representatives, where career diplomats have been showcasing the integrity with which they carry out the public trust. The day the pardons were issued was also the day that one of the president’s closest campaign aides, Roger Stone, was convicted on seven counts of witness tampering and lying to Congress."

 

Trump pardoned Arpaio before the appeals process could be completed, and Arpaio accepted the pardon.


Prosecutor: Arpaio gave up right to appeal by accepting Trump pardon

Prosecutor: Arpaio gave up right to appeal by accepting Trump pardon

excerpt:

"PHOENIX — A special prosecutor appointed to defend a ruling that refused to erase former Sheriff Joe Arpaio's criminal record says the lawman gave up his right to appeal his contempt of court conviction when he accepted a pardon from President Donald Trump.

Christopher Caldwell said in a filing Monday with the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that pardons moot any punishments that a person convicted of a crime might face, but they don't erase judgments made by courts in those cases.

If Arpaio wanted to challenge his misdemeanor conviction for disobeying a 2011 court order to stop his immigration patrols, then he should have rejected the pardon and taken his chances in an appeals court, Caldwell wrote."
