it was the assets that were toxic.

It's becoming a trend when we speak of republicans, whatever it is they are doing is so out-of-bounds from law abiding, it's toxic.

Wasn't he totally exonerated? Why risk looking like you're tampering with a witness when you're totally innocent? Were these just overzealous staffers looking to gild the total exoneration lily or were they working on the direct order of President Totally Exonerated?

so much time with the President's approval at Mueller's office.

Trump's finally coming to an end with a jail sentence.

and for about the first six months or so, until someone told him that the White House attorney is the White House's attorney and not an attorney provided for the personal use of the President. No telling what the dumb ass confided to McGahn.

I'm sure this latest won't make any difference to him, one way or the other. McGahn just needs to tell what he knows at the open House Committee hearing, and this will all be over - for HIM, not for Chump.

In the world of Trump its just an innocent comment between a felon and his former lawyer.
Right?
Sort of like asking the Attorney General to prosecute his enemies, or sending Rudi to the Ukraine to see if he can drum up a little dirt on a potential adversary in the 2020 election.
Trump was never serious about any of this was he?

and no one could do one damned thing to hold him accountable. And the worst part, as soon as he's no longer president, all the people who could hold him accountable will begin saying, "yes, he did kill someone on live national telvision, but we have to move on for the good of the country."

Nothing. Absolutely fucking nothing works. The Dems can open up an impeachment investigation and nothing will result from it. They will never get a conviction from the rethug-controlled Senate.

The way I see it, the only hope of stopping him is if Air Force One goes down over Miami Beach airport taking him to or from Mar a' Laga, a widowmaker health episode, or some other catastrophic but good for the Republic event. I'm not particular about the circumstances. I just want him gone for good.

And shows how scared he is by doing this to hide it about himself. Expect threats of made up crimes, and that he'll be prosecuted with his corrupt Barr in his pocket to use as a weapon against anyone who'll expose them all with it, including Mueller , Rosenstein , and others. Trump's pattern is to get dirt on people then exaggerate it to use to claim they were criminals. Biden and anyone opposing him with the truth is a threat to him. All crimes trump's committed will be exposed in time. History will not be kind to him and his family, or the gop.
