Shit and fan as Toxic Trump continues his insanity and daily risks the senate and the WH next year, I think Congress will see his enablers becoming more co-operative...

[dewsgirl]

1. Wow.😳

[olegramps]

12. This could only be the beginning. Obstruction charges could follow.

They had be very careful what the write or say since it could compound their problems. These people are being prodded on by the hacks at FOX who will claim they are shielded from prosecution.

[dewsgirl]

16. Good. I hope to hear more about this soon.

[erronis]

2. I imagine a lot of (R)epuglicons try not to read this stuff. Like Lindsay not reading Sondland's

testimony.

3. They are idiots

Ignoring the facts does not mean that the facts will go away

[Laura PourMeADrink]

4. I love this...but what are the chances our new

Leaders would prosecute?

[Soph0571]

5. Oh I think people will get prosecuted for sure...

They have gone to far... they have completely disregarded the rule of law, and they must be taught that they can never get away with trying to literally rip up the Constitution again.

[onlyadream]

6. Not so sure

Cheney never saw the inside of a cell, and lying us into a war is no small issue.

[MyOwnPeace]

27. I think that after Jerry Ford,

PRESIDENT OBAMA and Nancy Pelosi deciding that it was best to put wrong-doing in the past, we will see things a little bit differently this time.
Times have changed, the mood has changed, and I believe that people realize that a lesson is to be learned by those that think they got away with something!
We shall see................

[SergeStorms]

9. Considering how Trump has treated....

democrats, immigrants, the LBGTQ, Blacks, Hispanics, Muslims, and the poor......... I think the chances are pretty damned good that he'll be dealt with. His days of thumbing his nose (among other body parts) at the law are over, and there needs to be an example made. Even if federal lawmakers take it easy on him, there's still New York State to deal with, and Trump is even less popular in New York than he is nationally.

I would not want to be in Donald Trump's shoes for the next 10-15 years of his life (should he live that long). The lives of his progeny, close associates, and those who abetted his very hostile takeover of the United States should be very worried as well. Even if they escape legal repercussions, their reputations and legacies are forever tarnished by their unabashed fealty to the most corrupt man on the planet. So they have that going for them.

[MyOwnPeace]

28. Serge,

I LIKE the way you think!


.....especially realizing that they could all get their chance on "Dancing With The Stars!"

[Hermit-The-Prog]

10. need a hard-nosed, no-nonsense AG. maybe Kamala Harris?

[Sogo]

20. I like the sound of that!

[vsrazdem]

26. Me too, Kamala would be fantastic.

[Volaris]

31. Or Hillary Clinton...can you imagine how much fun we'll all get to have,

Watching her sign her name to the bottom of every federal fuck indictment that results from this Mob Ring of an administration?!

[Maraya1969]

34. OMG that would be wonderful!

[NBachers]

35. Or Preet Bharara

[ramen]

17. There's the rub right there.

There is a long history of letting bygones be bygones before they are even gone by.

With that said: I will aggressively canvas for and fundraise for the first Democrat who says they will enforce these laws. If enough other people do, it may matter yet.

[Fiendish Thingy]

21. It Depends on the Leader, if we elect someone who intends to only "look forward"...

Then these criminals may never be brought to justice.

[CrispyQ]

22. Probably depends on who our new leaders are.

History shows that we will look forward & go along to get along. I think old time dems who have worked with the GOP for decades, have not come to terms with what their colleagues across the aisle have become—heartless, greedy monsters. The younger dems aren't so disillusioned.

[calimary]

7. They'll cling to that republi-CON deck chair til the Orange Titanic sinks below the waves.

Buh-BYE.

[world wide wally]

8. They're counting on a pardon from Pence (if he's not indicted too)

ndi

[Wednesdays]

11. They're all betting on a tRump pardon

The phrase "Presidential pardon" hasn't been mentioned much on DU lately, but it's still a real threat. In his last FU to America, tRumo could sign pardons for EVERYONE involved, then resign and receive a pardon himself from his successor.

Even if that fails, they could take a page from Stone's book and claim medical or mental incapacity.

[Eyeball_Kid]

37. Pardons should be contested in court.

Pardons aren't legitimate if they are granted in the commission of a crime or if they obstruct an investigation into a crime, eh? Oh. I'm not a lawyer, so it might be worth the effort to verify.

[usaf-vet]

13. I normally would show some compassion for these staff members caught in the Trump cult. BUT

... now I want to see these people removed from the political gene pool. Hopefully to never come back with their blind attitude to follow anyone who has no regard for the Constitution, laws, and the institutions that serve the American people.

I never want to see them able to bring those delusional misguided attitudes to another elected extremist who might win another political office.

A little time in jail, being disbarred, having thousand of dollars in legal defense fee, and the Scarlett letter on your CV saying you worked for a traitor that trusted the Russian more than our experts. Hopefully, a punishment will prevent them from holding a similar post in the future.

They need to find another line of work. They do not deserve a second chance as a staff member in a public elected office.

[broiles]

15. The "I was just following orders"excuse

went out in 1945.

[usaf-vet]

23. EXACTLY! Even the military's UCMJ provides an out for those that do not want to blindly follow....

.... an unlawful order.

The Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) 809.ART.90 (20)

[DBoon]

25. No political office, no job as a TV pundit, no university teaching position

No place where these destructive and unethical individuals can possibly legitimize themselves.

[ddr007]

29. I agree completely with everything except...

I don't think they should spend a little time in jail. They should spend a lot of time there.

[NoMoreRepugs]

14. There will be extreme looking back IMHO. Whomever wins

inside the 5 year timeframe and is a true Democrat sworn to uphold the Constitution has to pursue these vermin with extreme vigor to set the country back on course.

[usaf-vet]

24. Agreed! No more letting bygones be bygones.

Agreed! No more letting bygones be bygones. If laws are broken the offenders MUST be charged.

Otherwise IMHO the law-breaking escalates with each case that is ignored.

The reasoning becomes They (prior offenders) got away with this so we should be able to at least do the same or maybe push the envelop a little further.

Trump is the perfect example of this reasoning on steroids. What he gets away with on Monday becomes the starting point for the next outrage on Friday.

ENOUGH of this sh*t already!

[yuiyoshida]

18. I would like to hope they will read this...

They probably won't and ignore it to their peril ... I would love to see a bunch of Republican
Senators go to prison over this whole thing. Trump, Pence, and sons..all behind bars for a few years..Just to let them know trying to go up against the United States Constitution was a huge
no-no!

[gibraltar72]

19. And every Dem. candidate for federal office

needs to say no one is safe from prosecution.

[Garrett78]

30. Let's be clear, they're betting on voter suppression and foreign interference.

Someone with Trump's numbers can't win a fair fight, even with the electoral college in place.

We must raise hell over election fraud in its various forms, and turn out the base to the extent that we can overcome election fraud. That's it. None of this garbage about converting Trump supporters or winning over the few and far between swing voters. Just boost turnout (relative to 2016) among POC, youth and white suburban women, and raise hell over any effort to suppress/interfere.

[ChazInAz]

36. To quote my favorite role:

I am not in a forgiving mood.

[BootinUp]

39. How about this one

[subana]

38. at this point, republicans have no good options!

if they become too critical of trump, he'll make a bunch of insulting tweets about them & the crazies might not vote for them. If trump shows up to campaign for them, he will motivate the opposition more than trump voters!
