  1. That there is precisely what the Russians refer to as “kompromat” against Trump. Proof of a crime the can leverage to extract favours – such as a US military pullout to facilitate an invasion to wipe out US allies in the fight against ISIS. Every Trump voter is now a traitor.

    1. Amen , brother . You are correct . All supporters or sycophants of trump ARE TRAITORS TO THEIR VOTWRS, AMERICANS , OATH, AND THEMSELVES!! .

  2. How does he sleep at night knowing thousands of people who have sacrificed their lives for Americans fighting ISIS are going to get slaughtered just so he can make a few more bucks? Where is the line for republicans?

    1. Francis Moon
      The line is black and white, and wealth and power… that’s it.
      Republicans do not care about the greater good for humanity whatsoever.

    2. @AJ P “governments” dont care about the greater good of society it’s all about power two wings on the same bird.

    3. He doesn’t feel empathy, he doesn’t feel others pain or sorrow he is a sociopath, psychopath! He should be tried at the Hague for crimes agaist humanity. The world sees what he is there is no excuse for protecting this monster and the GOP are responsible for all his crimes because they enabled him! Will never forget this will go down in history as a Power grab by the wealthy for more power and money! End Citizens United, end the electoral college, end lobbying by the Pharmaceutical industry, oil companies, Wall Street, Big Banks bring power back to the People! BERNIE2020!

    1. Yes he wants to be a gangster, and a theory of mines is that he has both the G O P Congress & Senate personal affairs to black Mail & control the party, mob tactics.

  3. So often, the president would say, ‘Here’s what I want to do, and here’s how I want to do it,’ ” Tillerson said, according to the Houston Chronicle, “and I would have to say to him, ‘Mr. President, I understand what you want to do, but you can’t do it that way. It violates the law.’ ”

  4. So, let me get this straight: Trump, who did nothing but bash President Obama for not being harsh enough on the Iranians and saying Obama’s agreement with them would only encourage the Iranians to develop an atomic bomb, presses Tillerson to get the Justice Department to lay off prosecuting a close personal friend of Turkey’s thug President Erdogan, charged with violating the Iranian nuclear sanctions. Just so Trump could then get a favor back from the thug Erdogan.

    As Giuliani would say, “So What?? It’s not a crime, even if it is! You have no right to know about that!!”

    Crooked Quid Pro Quo: It’s the Trump Brand……

  5. This is what happens when you elect a President who owes money and favors to every shady leader around the world.

  6. Giuliani couldn’t possibly defend his actions – even on Fox. His behaviour will go a long way to justifying the impeachment process. Tillerson, McMaster, Mattis and Kelly will play a major part as well. The president must know that his fate is probably in their hands.

    1. Please don’t list Kelly with the good guys. He’s profiting off of the concentration camps at the border. Any wonder why they’re private, for-profit companies running them?? How many of his buddies making money off others misery? Oh yeah, private prisons where they get paid by the head count and crooked cops (Arpaeo) and crooked judges. hmm.

  7. I said from the start of his presidency that he’d sell his country down the drain for a few lousy bucks…..and that’s exactly what he’s been doing. Let the Sthn District of NY prosecutors loose on him and his slimy kids…they’ll all end up in jail.

  8. Aaaah, the penny has dropped….tRUmp does business with dictator-types bc he can ONLY operate on the down-low, in a mob-style, lawless manner. Most democratic leaders are restricted and are guided by morals & scruples & won’t play ball with him on that level.
