The Presidency of Donald J. Trump: No smocking guns. - Page 617 - Politics and Economics

Yes he did.

Sessions: "Senator Franken, I'm not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign and I didn't have — did not have communications with the Russians, and I'm unable to comment on it."

There is literally a ****ing video of him saying this.

We're still waiting on the new Muslim ban, but Maddow is basically dismantling it in court right now. She has a copy of the DHS Intel report that destroys it.

Arguing with these people is pretty scary because it's a glimpse into the hive mind of the GOP, and remember, there is no adult running the show any more. Paul Ryan might be the most "reasonable adult" in the whole bunch and he's willing to sign off on almost anything if he can get those tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires. The GOP base won't care about giving up any amount of civil liberties as long it doesn't affect them directly and personally.

And Congressional Investigations have been revealed to be more or less political opposition research groups controlled by the Republicans. Our democracy is in its death throes right now.

Weird how they were both fired from the Trump campaign for no apparent reason.

I can't wait to listen to another DOJ lawyer get destroyed by judges live. There is no way Trump team is going to be able to defend any travel ban in court now that the DHS Intel report is public.

its all coming together, all that's left is for all of this to force trump's taxes somehow. And Sessions isnt there to deny the requests, and with more GOPeople everyday going after Trump this might happen.

The circumstances of how the Ambassador ended up at the convention is interesting to me. I want to know all the details.

what you guys think is a reasonnable timeline to effective dictarorship(or whatever the proper term)?

By effective I mean the moment where there is nothing more to do and people realise arguing or protesting isnt a working tool anymore,and all hope of change is lost unless revolution of some sort.
months?
years?
never?

Did you intentionally misspell it so that you can later deny having written perjury? That is about the level of defense you are giving for Sessions. Ditto for Sessions himself.

heard Rachel say a few minutes ago that some within the FBI are actively blocking the Trump/Russia investigations, possibly Comey himself

Adam Schiff straight up accusing Comey of stonewalling House Intel Committee

Wow Adam Schiff saying Comey isn't cooperating?

That they might have to subpoena the FBI?
