President Trump, the Moron in Chief, and his administration are facing multiple investigations into illegal foreign ties. These include 5 Congressional investigations, an independent counsel, the grand jury and state investigations.
There are also conflict of interest investigations by the ethic commission, money laundering by the justice department and assorted other investigations stemming from Trump Business Corporations, as well as the Trump Charities.
Here's the really interesting part of this post. HE'S IN FUCKING CHARGE. He directly or indirectly appointed everyone who's investigating him. Trump appointed the head and the second in command of the Justice Department. The asst. AG appointed Mueller. All the committees in Congress are chaired by Republicans. All the Federal prosecutors in each state are appointed by the President. Other than the local, state Attorneys General, every last investigator is appointed by Trump, or appointed by someone who was appointed by Trump.
Just wait until the Democrats control anything. Any House and/or Senate Committee. Can you imagine that half wit, orange, arrogant, lying asshole trying to do 13 hours in one day, under oath, in front of a hostile Congressional Committee with a Democratic Chairperson?
I can't wait for just one half of one branch of government to be controlled by us. We'll have that fucking tangerine on a platter.

(22,976 posts)But he finally landed in a job where the letter of the law is clearly defined and running afoul of it carries serious consequences.
In his addled brain, concepts like collusion and corruption are utterly foreign to him. Over his entire existence, shady accountants and attack-dog attorneys served as a buffer between him and actually facing the music.
Thats about to change. However. as weve seen with Roy Moore, tRump will not go quietly or willingly. Especially now that #45 himself is on record about Moore (and by extension, himself, of course) as saying that mere denial of criminality is adequate for him to exonerate whoever he wants to, and that we, the people, should hop on board, too.
No cult leader or dictator merely surrenders to the law. #45 is no different. Theres one hell of a scrap coming. Im deadly serious when I say that I hope no one gets physically hurt (or worse) as the law throws its weight against him and the entire RW-enabling machine.

I think they are going to have to make a face saving deal with Trump to avoid disaster.
It will have to involve immunity, money and a way to save face for him to leave the WH.

I look forward to his eventual demise, but dread the long road to get there, and the all-consuming noise that will follow.
It will be painful, but absolutely necessary to save our democracy.

Trump is mean, vindictive, and capable of general violence.
But he is also stupid and easily manipulated.
There is leverage with with his children and maybe Kushner.
And of course, his holy grail, money.
He also does not like the job of being president and hates the White House.
I think Mueller is setting up the dominoes one by one.

(32,016 posts)Never has.
Whoever is President is not on a string to whoever is control of some or all of Congress.
When George W Bush was President and Democrats controlled Congress did you see him testifying about anything?
When Obama was President and Republicans took control of the House did you see him testifying about anything?
Even when Nixon was under investigation during Watergate and the Democrats controlled Congress he never testified about anything.

Trump has a lot more to lie about than that. I would love to see him subpoenaed.

(32,016 posts)Clinton never did that. Why anyone speaks to a federal investigator, prosecutor or grand jury is beyond me. Anything said can and is used against you and can be twisted around in a hundred ways. Don't ever speak to them, I don't care if you are Mother Teresa or someone else you think is 100% good.

Nixon didn't have to go before a committee, either, but he sure felt the pressure.
I was comparing the pressure the Repukes put on Hilary, and let's see if this Orange Asshole can withstand that kind of pressure.
By the way, he can volunteer to testify, although I doubt it.
