See U.S. Senator and former prosecutor Richard Blumenthal’s impassioned remarks about the “heart attack moment” facing the U.S. over Trump’s new, controversial pardons for allies – as 2,000 former Department of Justice officials demand Trump’s Attorney General resign for interfering in the department’s independence. Blumenthal argues the blame goes beyond Pres. Trump to what he calls “a morally spineless Republican majority who is enabling” Trump.

'Angry,' 'Spineless GOP': Dem Senator Hammers Trump Pardon For Giuliani Ally, Apprentice Contestant
Trump and Barr and the Republicans are traitors and deliberately destroying our democracy. They are vile and should be profoundly ashamed.
@Richard Atkins ha ha ha. You are speaking through your frustration. I feel that way too……a lot of days. All the people who shoot people like that is on the republican side. They just love trump.
They should be ashamed,but they’re not.What they should be is in jail.
Alex M when I think about the Senate’s behavior with the impeachment I am furious. Immoral is the only explanation, that and cowardly.
dee MAVERICK of course they do. Anyone in Charlottesville can attest to that.
🍿😉Really…”!?
There is no shame in their games.lol
You knew exactlt whatever you were getting from a draft dodging co felonious dealer beforehand.lol
Meanwhile…
Spineless filibusters/ SINATES- Corleone family has only emboldened him afterwards.🤷♂️
😊Sad🤦♀️
Get up and stop this dictator or your going to regret it.
TRUMP WINS AGAIN
@Clinton Pachingel troll
@hungry worm, so if he has the power to do it then we shouldn’t care if, when, and why he does? He has those powers because we are suppose to be able to trust his judgement. The power to pardon someone should only be used in rare cases. Trump is just undoing convictions of white collar criminals. Not one of these pardons were for unjust or immoral sentences. These criminals hurt deserved the time they got based on the seriousness of their crimes.
This is the greatest economy in the history of our country, the last 50 years. Yes unemployment is at it’s lowest. You have a job Thank our President Trump. And Hundreds of other things he has done for our Country.
“A- Golf Tweet-ler” has to go..along with Barr..corruption at it’s best.
Agolf Tweetler, that’s pretty good 🤣
“The Free Press”. But for how long? Somehow Trump will try to shut down any opposing media. Expect anything from this treasonous criminal.
Yeah, he’s too thin-skinned to have any opposition. What a baby.
Oh yes. Silencing speech is on it’s way. EXPOSE THE CROOKS DONT STOP.
TRUMP WINS AGAIN
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”― Theodore Roosevelt. “Spineless GOP” is quite appropriate.
@ Charles Green; “Spinless GOP” is being rather generous in my opinion.
@Nelson Esq TR walked out on the Republican party to form the Bullmoose Party!
@knotbumper – They’re ALL dirty and using the FAKE president as a human shield…
Trump and his cronies need to get thrown off a bridge!
Charles Green they believe they can control trump to their own end. Same way you can control a bull in a china shop – and so they’ll have to clean up their own destroyed shop and we will all have to help pick up the pieces. A shame. But it’s sometimes the only way we learn; break things.
He only did it cause everyone said that he can’t do it his ego is the size of the solar system
And his brain is the size of a pea.
@june bug that’s exactly what i said…😊
TRUMP WINS AGAIN
Plenty of room for that ego in his empty brain cavity……
Will all the sentences that Trump has pardoned or commuted be added to his sentence?
It doesn’t matter, Covid-19, or as I call it “Greta’s Revenge”, is going to get all old men. Mara-largo must be infested with it 🦠🦠🦠🦠🦠 🤣😂🤣😂
Yes that was and it’s why they are catching these Asian individuals try to get in. Some paying. Others trying to sneak in.
The GOP Republican members are so corrupt and liar and fake And corrupt that no words are able to describe how evil and corrupt these mob conducted at the moment.
Somebody better stop that MADMAN
REPUBLIKKKANS WILL PAY ON NOVEMBER…
NEVER FORGET…………….
I hope so, but the last election was corrupted by Trumpy Dumpy and Putin
777 burro How exactly was it corrupted? Can you be specific?
Let’s pray they do!
@777 burro A man walked into a bar and ordered a Russian Collusion.
2-1/2 years later, the bartender gave the man an empty glass and a bill for $32Mil.
Congressional Republicans, you let this happen. Karma baby.
You couldn’t write this stuff a few years ago.
No matter what that demented jerk does, he will not be in the White House forever. Hopefully he’ll be voted out in November or maybe just die, whatever. But eventually this insanity will end.
I am amazed at how healthy President Trump looks after 3+ years of unrelenting hatred by MSM and Democrats.
On the other hand, Pelosi and Schumer and Naddler all look worse for the wear.
Susan Collins will be “vvveeerrryyy dddiiisssaaapppoooiiinnntteeddd”
Remember when WE used to laugh at third world nations led by penny ante tin pot dictators? Guess who’s having the last laugh. From the greatest generation to a generation of the brightest and the best to these bush league amateurs.
Traitor Trump has just proven the president of the United States has too much power for one man!!!!!
Is America happy to hear the Whole World laughing at them thinking how stupid the people they Voted in to run their Country. It’s so sad to see a Great Country becomes a Banana Republic
Teflon Don, McConnell’s Mafia, and Bill Barr’s Gestapo are on a rampage. Now we know how Hitler started.
The orange dictator is in control of the justice department.
