    1. @Warren Holly and for some of our COWARDLY and GREEDY GOP members of Congress they would like to avoid PRISON. I wonder how MOSCOW MITCH is going to explain away practically selling his good ole state of Kentucky (now known as Little Russia) for a couple of 100 million dollars.

    2. Ellie MM Another genius who didn’t read the Mueller report, and clearly you forgot the federal and state investigations currently being conducted which means they are NOT GOING TO DIVULGE their evidence ahead of time. All of us will know what evidence they have during the TRIAL.

  1. Kurt Volker, the State Department’s special envoy for Ukraine has just resigned.

    It is speculated that he did not like the idea of being used to dig for dirt on democrats.

  2. Rudi the reindeer has broken the ice sheet. I hope orange Santa and the rest of the swamp can survive in clean water.

    1. @Scott Burns I LOVE when those with low intellectual language use “snowflake” as a jab. Thanks for the laugh 😂!!

  3. You can’t say Michael Cohen didn’t warn these schmucks that hitching their wagons to Trump would be their undoing.

    1. @Kyrie Eleison but Trump has the support of the Black and Latino community for everything he’s done for them. How’s that racist??? All the initiatives for employment… Maybe you should read up on THAT since CNN isn’t going to report it….

    2. @Alex Jay Trump picks on races ppl secretly hates?? 😂😂😂
      Do you mean races ppl secretly want to be and openly imitates? Give me a break!! I see a ton of white ppl and even Asians trying to be rappers and basketball players. I also see Trump trying to undo anything and everything good Obama accomplished. He hates Obama because everyone loved him. Lets me be honest, you only pick on or bully ppl you feel threatened by. Asians don’t have a reputation for being cool or have giant dks that white women go gaga over. So, sit on that, genius. Keep buying what Trump is selling.

    3. Alex Jay interesting. How do you manage to ignore all that this president says? How do you manage to ignore him when he says he needs a “favor though” when taking about supporting an ally against putin? How do you ignore him saying he wants those that expose his abuses of power to be killed?

  4. The Democrats are hitting hard and fast. Trump’s assembled teams can’t keep up all the hits and get organized. Schiff is getting his payback here.

    1. @Captain Caveman That’s another lie, I can provide you link of data analysis, Red States benefit the most from government aid. Seriously, you are really misinformed.
      I’m a CPA, working for the state I live in. Not one thing you have said is true, or have any substantiated evidence.

      You know, there is a great book called, “How to Lie with Statistics” Darrel Hoff, super small. It’s a great introduction to stat’s, it explains how people usually misinterpret data, (particularly to push a narrative).

      Man, take a class.

    2. @Captain Caveman prove it . You Trolls all seem to think that everyone is ignorant or a Democrat if they didn’t vote for -45. There are many who Republicans who chose not to vote for the Red Death knowing what kind of businessman he is.. So trot on back to where ever you came from.

  5. *Wonder what the other “things” are that had Trumps WH lawyers scared enough that they broke protocol to rush and hide it on this 4th level top secret server?* *I bet if they start poking about..some Russians will fall out!😉* *#Trump4Prison** MAGA*

    1. @Captain Caveman If I understood that (somewhat) correctly, it was very rude. AND painfull… to someone’s bottom! 😂

  6. Mr. Guiliani has not registered as a Foreign Agent under the FARA Foreign Agent Registration Act … he should be arrested an jailed… now

    1. Impeachment pie is cooking in the oven.

      Trump wont be able to hide from this. There are No deferments for treason. Bonespurs are hurting.

      First person to make a deal may be the only deal given.

    2. Guilliani has an escape door ready (and Trump too!), his lawyers can make a very believable case of senile dementia.

    1. @Dozo G
      ITS THE LAW . All people are created Equal .
      The democrats have been investigation Trump every since he announced he was running for the presidency .

      The democrats claim they have several active ongoing investigations on Donald Trump and then state it’s Treason a threat to national security to investigate your political opponent .

      Sounds like the Democrats all want to be shot for Treason .

      Pelosi said all her loyality goes to her political party = the democrats not the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA , not the constitution . Not the bill of Rights . Not the citizens . Her political party the democrats .

    2. @Dozo G those are your personal declorations . Perhaps your mental facilites are in question .

      People all over this planet from several religions and cultures sing I am their Lion King Messiah the prophet besser videos on my likes playlist .

      I am Johnny judge close the curtain of I like it video .

      No other American in the history of the USA has another American ever had people all over this planet from several religions and cultures sing to and about them .

      UNIQUE . Superpower Johnny Patterson .

  7. Wait I thought lawyer client confidentiality gets thrown out if the lawyer commits a crime doing the bidding of the client?

    1. Giuliani is too stupid to know that, and he will throw that attorney client privilege to the wind and sing like a canary soon as he gets a chance and claim that be was working to thwart trump from the inside and is realy a hero.

    2. TheZooness: I think there has to be proof that a crime was committed, first.
      The impeachment investigation is to determine if a crime was committed.

    3. Attorney-client privilege does not cover criminal activities, nor is it valid if a third party is in on the conversation.

    1. If you have more investors in you then they share your headache too. Like Yanis Varoufakis used to say the biggest lever Greece had against EC, ECB was the 30 Bn in debt that it had to repay! Never fight your battles yourself. I do not do it but then I am not a politician. Regards,

    1. The whyt house is controlled by Europe’s monarchy, as all* but 1 U.S. president is a direct relative of King John Lackland. Martin Van Buren is the only one who was not related to King John.

  8. Oh Rudy, he’d love to testify, so he can be put on TV, look like a guy who stuck his d@#k in a light socket and say “executive privilege,” over and over..
