    1. @Jeffrey Meade you mean those made up polls trump just pulls out of thin air. Why don’t you actually look them up for yourself. While your at it look and see if bribery is illegal.

    2. @General Sanders even Sean Hannity is already lowering expectations for the bullshit IG report. Sorry sons of bitches .

  1. Time and past for the Republicans to step out of tRump’s swamp of corruption if they care at all for their own skins. What happened to honor and integrity in Republican lawmakers under tRump? Things may have been bad previously but under tRump they have gone ATOMIC ! GOD KEEP US SAFE FROM tRump and the Republicans.

  2. I don’t care how you twist or spin it, you CAN’T ask a foreign government to investigate an AMERICAN citizen for personal gains.

    1. @David M Where do you ignoramuses come from? A President can not withhold money allocated from Congress to investigate an AMERICAN citizen for his own intrest. Anything a President does MUST BE IN THE BEST INTREST OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. Not for his own intrest you nitwit.

    2. Get every Insane liberal protester on camra Post there photos and find where they live and have them fired and harrassed

    3. Un Spin This – You Can’t Ask A foreign company to give $3mill and pay $50K per month for a Job because his father was VP US in the past administration. Then support firing the prosecutor. Do you Know What Bill Trump Signed today? Noop. Just Indoctrination fodder.

    1. @Ian P another false narrative. The Ukraine officials did know. There are witnesses and testimonials under oath. There are still people willing to put the country before political bias.

    2. Your enjoying the economy and the Indoctrination fodder sold by the Coup News Network to make money off you They never say anything about project Veritas nor What Trump has accomplished – So demotrartidies remain clueless.

    3. @Debbie Martini dont forget about Russia Russia
      Oh that’s right that’s dead but you jump on the moral outrage express because you have no choice.

      Dead mind

    4. Tom Waddle As much as the republicans hated Obama the no drama President. Why didn’t the republicans at the least start their own impeachment inquiry against Obama the no drama President?

      I know… but this Irish fellow once said – and an Irish-Catholic President once borrowed – that the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing. I know that laying out evidence, in the comments section, to those who abhor facts, ain’t a whole hell of a lot…but hopefully it ain’t nothing.

    2. @Briley85 i know this quote well, i don’t know what the answer is to today’s sectarian tribalism, it’s adherents have descended into hateful rhetoric. They hate people they don’t know and take pride in accomplishments they had no part in. Now taking pleasure in the demise of their own neighbors, the hostility seemingly boundless in this crazy upsurge of criminal intent. America is a sad place.

    1. …….until Trump tells the world that they are lover’s, and nothing the Democrats do will ever put out that fire! 😳

    2. @Rabble Wolf Besides, if it turns out they were secretly married, then neither has to fess up on the other. These guys have the upperhand bigly. 🙂

    3. Y’all funny. Wow. None of this is actually going on. Some of y’all dumb. There is no division on Republican side. Buuuut. On Democrats side there is.

    1. forget about thrown out of congress… he needs to be publicly executed along with the rest of Trump gang of traitors and criminals.

    2. You CNN educated idiots just make up stuff and expect people to believe your crap. Wait till the Obama administration starts going to prison – you libturds are going to lose your mind…..lol….lol……TRUMP2020!

    1. But Slimy Schife Has The Whistleblower Plugged up his A Hole ! Pheeee and stench! I bet non of you Demotartides have clue what Trump has accomplished for the nation. All You know is Indoctrination fodder fed to you to make money by the fake news!

  3. Why would the white house care about legality? There’s no consequence for any of trump’s behaviors. Come on GOP, get your head out of the …

    1. it sounds to me like it was Mulvaney personally checking if it was legal because it was his job as head of the Office of Budget Mgmt to put the actual hold on the aid.

  4. Asking about how illegal a crime is before you do the crime implies just a little guilt does it not ?
    America is lawless at the top .

    1. Actually this is more like asking which part of your crime is illegal and if so how can you make it look legal AFTER starting the criminal activity.

    1. where do Russian Vodka drinking Nervous Nancy and Slimy Schife belong. In the Same bunker as Al-Baghdadi!

  5. Russia owns the Republican Party. They must have so much dirt on so many of them, the more they panic the more obvious it is.

    1. Littledidyouknowthis they are emotionally bankrupt and soulless. Its a cult. Stockholm syndrome. If they dont support him, they have nothing else to live for. Repulsive.
