Impeaching Trump: Make America Sane Again

[BlueK]

I think Trump resigns before he can be impeached. That way he can still ride off into the sunset almost on his own terms and claim the title of the best president in the history of the universe.

Good to know his personal business dealings had nothing to do with our foreign policy decisions. I'm sure that's true of the president as well.

The best part of all of this is it technically isn't treason since Turkey is a NATO ally. This is like some shitty 80's movie.

Jonathan Pollard would be interested to learn more about this distinction you are making.

It keeps getting worse for Trump. New Reuters story released an hour ago:

"Michael Flynn and other advisers to Donald Trump’s campaign were in contact with Russian officials and others with Kremlin ties in at least 18 calls and emails during the last seven months of the 2016 presidential race, current and former U.S. officials familiar with the exchanges told Reuters.

The previously undisclosed interactions form part of the record now being reviewed by FBI and congressional investigators probing Russian interference in the U.S. presidential election and contacts between Trump’s campaign and Russia.

Conversations between Flynn and Kislyak accelerated after the Nov. 8 vote as the two discussed establishing a back channel for communication between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin that could bypass the U.S. national security..."

Flynn got paid half a million dollars by Turkey as a pseudo-spy/consultant, or whatever else you want to call it. That alone isn't the bad part. The really creepy side of it is that he then after becoming an employee of the executive branch he used his personal business dealings to influence US foreign policy involved in fighting terrorists, most likely in the hope of keeping the other country happy with him -- and who knows, possibly sending him even more money.

Ok. Does that have anything to do with my point?

[BlueK]

Never mind, there is nothing there...this can't be true..witch hunt...blah, blah, blah.

Not much I guess other than Flynn will get off easier for doing something a lot worse.

I think JL was just enjoying the new info, not discrediting your post.

Right. I didn't mean to give that impression. I was just trying out some knee-jerk responses.

The usual suspects on fb supporting Trump/frequent pro-Trump posters are quiet as shit right now.

Yeah, because it's getting pretty bad and becoming more and more obvious why Trump was acting so paranoid.

I'll differ with you on that.

What i don't get is how Flynn could have done what he did. It is so far over the ethical/legal line that it's mind blowing. Trump keeps saying he's a good guy. No, not really.
