Previous guy whines with some strange riffs from Mueller Report, likely because of the latest Rudy tape as well as the McGahn testimony. Apparently he still wants that Moscow hotel. BTW, #Russia's state TV continues to describe Trump as "their president." Tongue-in-cheek or factual? Both.https://t.co/NQIPkMFFei — Julia Davis (@JuliaDavisNews) June...
McGahn
A Trump indictment moves closer with McGahn agreement to testify to Congress, as with a variety of other possible witness cooperation and NY DA activity. The Manhattan DA is signaling such possible indictments, according to Preet Bharara x Palm Beach planning for possibility of Trump indictment: reporthttps://t.co/V2HdCWrf6G — MeidasTouch.com (@MeidasTouch) May 13, 2021...
On cue, Ivanka appears on a news outlet in order to humanize the Trumpian psychosis ranting against his Senate trial. She softballed her way through accountability for her father’s immigration policy, because that’s “not her portfolio”. Mehdi Hasan should have been asking the questions: Note the word Presidential near the...
As unlikely as it could happen, the eventual resolution of the Don McGahn testimony issue could bring another impeachment inquiry. The investigations continue regardless of this first impeachment, because there’s just so much Trump lawlessness, one Senate trial won’t be enough. And even if we get to a second Trump term...
As part of the ongoing project to catalog every awful thing the Trump Administration has done as a reference for future political arguments and whatever few posterity survives to see 2020, here’s everything awful the Trump Administration has done this week. 1683. Dialed up efforts to build the border wall 1684. Gutted...
The 120 page ruling on the order for the McGahn testimony came in today. McGahn must comply and testify before Congress. Executive Privilege is limited. Expect a WH appeal. It rejects the Trump argument for absolute immunity. BREAKING Judge rules ex-White House counsel Donald McGahn must comply with House subpoena in...
Darn that pattern of impeachable conduct. Alexander Vindman said he tried to fix the wording in the rough transcript so that it matched his notes of the phone call, but discovered that he wasn’t successful, according to the report. He said he didn’t assume there were sinister reasons for this,...
Apparently John Solomon is Individual-1’s Pat Buchanan and William Safire. John Solomon, now at Fox News, seems to be the nutter whose shaky ideas about Democrats in Ukraine diffused to Trump. Even Ken Vogel points the finger at Solomon. A Lot Of Trump’s Ukraine Conspiracy Theories Come From One Right-Wing Columnist...
Such a wack letter refusing to cooperate did allow for the possibility that Trump reviewed it but the Daily Beast reports that Trump had a much deeper role, which explains the rhetorical craziness. The simplistic Trumpian lexicon did reveal itself in the use of adjectives like “powerfully” and phrases like...
On his Thursday show, Neil Cavuto responded to Donald Trump’s recent remarks about the relative dearth of bootlicking happening at Fox News these days. Yesterday, Trump tweeted this: x Just watched @FoxNews heavily promoting the Democrats through their DNC Communications Director, spewing out whatever she wanted with zero pushback by...
Politico has a news story up this morning reporting that Jerry Nadler now thinks his committee could have impeachment articles ready sometime this autumn: House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler said Monday that his panel could recommend articles of impeachment by late fall, sketching a rough timeline for potential efforts...
The Mouth of Sauron emerged from her volcano lair yesterday long enough to gaslight the ever-living fuck out of us. x DidnâÂÂt take long for Mueller to once again vindicate President @realDonaldTrump. No collusion. No obstruction. And now Mueller all but admits it was all along a total witch hunt https://t.co/gUDSHnDiC0...

Republicans are now openly admitting that it doesn’t matter what crimes the House finds Trump committed; they will make the Senate trial as short as possible and find him not guilty. GOP senators say that if the House passes articles of impeachment against President Trump they will quickly quash them...
It seems to be an argument almost as fundamental as “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?”, and just about as insoluble. On the one hand you have activist progressives who argue that the constitution isn’t interpreted by politics, and Trump’s offenses require impeachment, and the consequences be damned....

This would be embarrassing if only it weren’t so damn hysterical. Watching Donald Trump go up against Nancy Pelosi is like watching Don Knotts fight Muhammad Ali in his prime. It’s just no contest. And it’s exactly why we have a Speaker Pelosi, and not a Speaker Ocasio Cortez, or...
I used to have a favorite pet phrase when I was raising my kids. They’d do something goofy,and I’d tell friends, “You buy ‘em shoes, you dress ‘em up nice, you give ‘em breakfast, you send ‘em out the door, and wadda they do? They eat the covers off of...
The gelding of Lindsey Graham is complete. If only the operation had been quicker. Watching Donald Trump hack away at his gonads with a meringue whisk for four years kind of put me off my oats. Politico: Sen. Lindsey Graham on Sunday said he doesn't care if President Donald Trump told...
The title is a description of the content of my re cent article “*sigh* OK, time to get messy” that appeared in the comments section. Actually, I got a kick out of the description since, while I consider myself an “opinion commentator,” the word “fiction” could easily apply, since while the...
This is a guy whose entire persona was based on the lame catchphrase “You’re fired!” And here he was earlier today: “I’m a student of history. I see what you get when you fire people and it is not good. But there would have been nothing wrong with firing him....
I can only assume he means “transphobic.” The Hill: “We're fighting all the subpoenas,” Trump told reporters as he left the White House for a conference in Atlanta on opioid abuse. He dismissed a subpoena from the House Judiciary Committee for testimony from former White House counsel Don McGahn as...
Guess the ‘vanka half of Jarvanka is unfit to know government secrets, too. CNN: President Donald Trump pressured his then-chief of staff John Kelly and White House counsel Don McGahn to grant his daughter and senior adviser Ivanka Trump a security clearance against their recommendations, three people familiar with the...
It won’t be Michael Cohen. And it won’t be Michael Flynn either. Forget about Paul Manafort while you’re at it, and he can take Rick Gates and Don McGahn with him. Yeah, I know, their faces are all as universally recognizable as Fabio’s pecs, and they all have, like, kick...
There was a minor dust up in the blogosphere last night after anNBC news story came out, which stated that White House Council Don McGahn, who sat directly behind Kavanaugh during much of his Senate testimony, had taken charge of the investigation for the White House and had provided to the...
NBC News White House counsel Don McGahn, who has shepherded Kavanaugh's nomination since president Trump chose him for the high court on July 9, is taking the lead for the White House in dealing with the FBI on the investigation, those involved in the process told NBC News. “A U.S....
I hate when this happens. I've been obsessing over this for like, 20 hours now, it even woke me up at 2:30 this morning. But when you spend as much time watching this shit as closely as I do, you can almost sense when something is up, just by what...
