    1. no there won’t…..you don’t understand the total stupidity of republican voters….they are dumb donalds minions and will NEVER turn from their “Chosen One”

    2. @Florida Crypto R
      The OP was clearly referencing the Republicans in Congress who are allowing this to happen. No need to take offense unless you’re currently one of them.

    1. @First Last incorrect. A classified server stores sensitive government information. A secret server is where you hind embarrassing things. It is against classification guidance to use classified server to hide embarrassing information.

    2. What about Ivankas’ 30,000 emails, Whistleblowers if you are listening you are true patriots please encourage others to come forward with what they know about the crimes being committed by this evil and corrupt govt. History is on your side, your time is now.

    3. For all the times trump whined and bitched about Hillary ‘ use of private servers, I think the FBI should press charges against trump *_and his family_* for THEIR ILLEGAL USE of private servers. *They were already warned by the Secret Service AND they’ve already been hacked by the Chinese.*

  1. They are spineless cowards! Part of the reason I left the party was the do anything to stay in power attitude.

    1. @Betty Clark I let the folks speak for themselves. As the saying goes, who are you going to believe? Fake News or your lying eyes.

    2. @Saltponds239 Okay, but just give me the day, if you don’t mind. I’ve got to start working on other things right now, but I won’t dismiss you. I’ll watch what you want me to see. If I can’t do that, I’m not much of a fellow citizen. 😉

  2. Do not forget emoluments. Pence at Irish golf club, hundreds of military flights rerouted to Scottish golf club, foreign governments renting blocks of rooms at Trump hotels. Do not forget tax fraud, money laundering, bank fraud, etc. Doing Putin’s bidding is beyond the pale.

    1. Yes Old Uncle Bob….the list is long. I am surprised Trump lasted that long.
      You forgot his stunt at the G7..offerig his Doral Golf establishment in Miami for the next G7 in 2020 and allowing Putin to be readmitted?

    2. [compiling]

  3. what congress needs to do is to put them in jail for obstructing congress believe me if you do that to enough of them they will flip criminals always do

    1. Do what is done when you don’t respond to a subpoena ,go to court and get a judge to sign off on warrants for arrest.

    2. @George Burden they can’t surely believe they will get out of this??????? Any sentient being will tell them they won’t.

  4. Just wait until the next Democratic President does some of this same stuff. Those a** hole Republicans won’t have a leg to stand on.

    1. Republicans will regard that differently and try to behave as the Democrats are now. They haven’t a leg to stand on now but that seems to make no difference to them and to the people who support Trump and have no understanding of the damage he is doing.

    2. Trump isn’t going to leave willingly. If we don’t get rid of him he is here forever. He said it multiple times. He has no intention of ever leaving office.

  5. Today the Bipartisan Senate reinforced Mueller’s findings that Russia interfered in the 2016 elections and helped Trump

    1. I have much respect for Mr Mueller, he knew that the administration is a joke n there are plenty working with him. So according to man’s law, he laid it out so The President could still face criminal charges in his home state of NY.

    1. @Major Minor he talks like he is tough but not very bright just like a bully hoodlum. but underneath he is a cry baby.a coward always hides behind something or someone.he is never to blame its always someone else.that’s why so many have been indicted and in jail.

    2. @Oline Wright ummmm, let’s take a wild guess…Putin and his lawyers. ???? 🤔😬 Can’t wait until “black” box contents are revealed and we get the real story of how Putin has been coaching his chunky orange dimwit puppet along for the past 32 months. Putin and tRump are both going down for this one…tRump first, Putin second.

  6. not forgetting that the ukraine call in question was not the only call to them. there were 2 before it and possibly more afterward. perfect question btw 🙂

    1. well fcckwit, the usa has an actual agreement with the other country, that they will share info and help each other’s country to INVESTIGATE INTERNATIONAL CRIMES AND CRIMINALS, which is what Trump was doing. He was perfectly within his rights and within the law, you absolute braindead demwits. No doubt Biden is scurrying to avoid prosecution by trying to discredit and falsely accuse the Pres. That will cost him, no doubt. And he will probably go to trial, Biden and his son et al, for thier unethical or illegal actions of international business.

  7. America’s greatest adversary is Trump’s greatest sponsor.Trump’s team know it’s going to court which is why they are working so hard to get their judge appointments through congress.

  8. “For Evil to triumph it only requires that good men do nothing…….” Well, these aren’t even good men – they are professional cowards.

    1. 10 – 9 -19
      How did that Mueller investigation go for the Democrats

      137 Democrats in the Democrat Controlled Congress sided with the GOP and decided NOT to IMPEACH the President of the United States Donald Trump

      #1 NO Racism
      #2 NO Senile aberrations
      #3 NO Russian Collusion delusion

      Oops….sorry…to all those
      Liberals
      Atheists
      Muslims
      Democrats
      Darwinists
      Evolutionists
      Temper Tantrum
      Biblically illiterate

    1. @rome3724 You’ve never read The Constitution have you… After the last Impeachment, the vote was rendered Moot.

    2. @rome3724 Yes, you can!!! Not only that but the same rules of contempt apply to being held in Contempt of Congress as in does in a regular cout. “Congress Can Arrest And Hold Anyone”

    1. I think power is an equal incentive. I’m guessing guys like Barr are getting off on his powerful position more than his government salary.

  9. The criminality of Tronald Dump is unbelievable. His staff should remember what happened to Richard Nixon’s staff and advisors when he left office.

  10. Quigley is absolutely correct how come time after time the White House corruption is enabled by the GOP and Republican Senate majority…vote them out and SAVE OUR DEMOCRACY.

  11. No deal for a Trump Resignation. He has earned decades of jail time for destroying the U.S. standing in the world alone.
