Can someone make a shortlist of crimes we're certain Trump committed? How about impeachable offenses?

More vengeance against Obama at the expense of the American people. Time to send those dirty (Obama) Democrats to his (Obama-reversed) private prisons for longer sentences (than the old Obama policy), further suppressing votes.

"Attorney General Jeff Sessions is rolling back Obama-era Justice Department charging and sentencing guidelines, instructing federal prosecutors to charge defendants with the most serious crime possible."

It's not enough for him to get away with destroying our country. He also demands that we believe his obvious lies and propaganda while he ****s us right up the ass.

The FBI could very well be forced to move on Trump soon with whatever they have at the moment. This is insane stuff that is puts the country in serious territory. Heros are needed to prevent the upcoming civil war (or worse depending on WTF this moron does next).

Somebody must've told him this threat to shut down press briefings in a democracy is your best yet. No way you can top it. And then he threatened Comey.

The article makes a good case that Rosenstein should resign

Quote:

In the end, Trump was able to make set piece out of Rosenstein, because Rosenstein let himself be used as a set piece. And there’s an important lesson in that for the many honorable men and women with pending appointments and nominations to serve in senior levels of the Justice Department—or who are considering accepting such appointments. It took Donald Trump only two weeks to put Rosenstein, a figure of sterling reputation, in the position of choosing between continued service and behaving honorably—and it took only two days after that for the President to announce that Rosenstein’s memo, after all, was nothing more than a Potemkin village designed as a facade on Trump’s predecided outcome.

Do you really want this to be you? Do you really think Trump will not leave your reputation as so much roadkill on the highway after enlisting you in sliming someone else a week or two after you take office?

The lesson here is that these are not honorable people, and they will do their best to drag you down to their level. They will often succeed.

Attorney General Jeff Sessions has a new directive for federal prosecutors across the country: charge suspects with the most serious offense you can prove.

Friday's announcement follows a line of several other significant departures from Obama-era domestic policies at the Justice Department, but this decision crystalized Sessions' position in the criminal justice realm.
In a brief one-and-a-half-page memo, Sessions outlined his new instructions for charging decisions in federal cases, saying that his new first principle is "that prosecutors should charge and pursue the most serious, readily provable offense."

"The most serious offenses are those that carry the most substantial guidelines sentence, including mandatory minimum sentences," Sessions later adds.

While the federal sentencing guidelines are advisory -- and take into account everything from a defendant's criminal history to cooperation with authorities -- some judges have felt handcuffed by mandatory minimums, which provide a statutory sentencing minimum of months below which the judge cannot depart.

It's hard to overstate how ****ed this is.

Of course, releasing them is way more likely to make Trump look bad than Comey especially if those tapes include the discussion of top secret information. I mean willfully divulging top secret information is a prosecutable offense.
