"Have you concluded that it’s not worth the political fallout to remove either special counsel Mueller or Deputy Attorney General [Rod] Rosenstein?” Bloomberg’s Jennifer Jacobs asked the president during his joint press conference with Japanese President Shinzo Abe.
“I can say there was no collusion and that’s been so found, as you know, by the House Intelligence Committee,” Trump responded, citing the recent closure of the Republican-led committee’s Russia investigation. “There is no collusion. There is no collusion with Russia other than by the Democrats, or, as I call them, the obstructionists. They truly are obstructionist.”
The president then switched gears to reiterate his belief that the Russia investigation is a “hoax,” claiming that it was “created largely by the Democrats as a way of softening the blow of a loss which is a loss that frankly they shouldn’t have had from the standpoint that it’s very easy for them to have a tremendous advantage in the electoral college.”
“You look at the kind of money that was paid, probably some went to Russia,” he continued. “You look at [Obama White House adviser] John Podesta having a company in Russia where nothing happened and people don’t talk about it. You look at the fact that their server, the DNC server, was never gotten by the FBI.”
You will notice that at no time did Trump proclaim that he was NOT planning to get rid of either Rod Rosenstein or Robert Mueller.
And as for collusion, we are seeing it happen right before our eyes with Trump refusing to implement the Russian sanctions that were voted on by Congress, and that his own Ambassador to the UN announced were coming.
That is the pro quo for Putin's quid.
In the meantime Mitch McConell is refusing to allow a vote to protect Robert Mueller reach the House floor.
And the police in Pittsburgh are preparing for the riots that will surely erupt once Trump does fire Mueller.
Can you say "constitutional crisis?" I knew that you could.
It's getting pretty hard for the Republican party to hide its' true Russian colors from us isn't it?
ReplyDeleteOnce was a time when all they could harp about was how the Russians were a threat to us and now they are in cahoots.
That includes the evangelics too. I don't know how they got so wrapped up in the NRA and Russia but they are there.
So in twenty years or so they got flipped by the Russians. How clever!
The rest of us are just waking up to the fact and resisting but if Putin is already in the White House it will be just a matter of time before he brings the rest of us around.
What a national embarrassment. Old dotard tries to seem intelligent and moral on national tv with Japan leaders watching.
ReplyDeleteThe moron continues to deny in the face of piles of evidence that he and his family of idiots colluded, committed treason and is a total corrupt pos waiting to be flushed. The fraud is over, the lies will end, his life will change and he will be forced to tell the truth for once in his sorry effing life of pathetic turmoil.
This has nothing to do with the Democrat party and everything to do with the republican party of liars and cheats.
The deranged dotard is going to fire Mueller and Rosenstein.
ReplyDeleteYes. Rumor is Rosenstein tomorrow.

I imagine that Trump supporters have long tuned out any news, indictments and even the raid on Cohens office.
ReplyDelete"Obstructionist" must be Trump's new vocabulary word..."reciprocal" is out.
ReplyDeleteCongress will go ahead and place those sanctions on Russia. Don is not king. He is swamp turd.
ReplyDeletecongress will NOT (and can not - trump just won't sign anything)
Deleteyes he is swamp turd - he is not king but he has two state tv stations in his pocket, 1000s of white supremiest who have infiltrated law enforcement over the past couple of decades, and a congress and senate filled with russian puppets to help him out, and a legal system that is unable to stop him (he will pardon himself and every one else - and because double jeopardy then sets in NY can not bring any state charges against any of them)
AS for the electoral college, the advantage has all been on the (R) side with gerrymandering and voter disenfranchisement. Try again, Shitgibbon.
ReplyDeleteBarack Obama, who has said that his greatest frustration as President was the failure of commonsense gun-safety laws, draws inspiration from the Parkland, Fla., teenagers who organized the March for Our Lives: “They have the power … to reject the old constraints, outdated conventions and cowardice too often dressed up as wisdom.”

Hey did you hear that? trump calls all americans obstructionist for interrupting his "collusion" Another word from our DICKtater dotard illegitimate ding dong slime bag.
ReplyDeleteThe press needs to keep saying it looks like trump is going to fire Mueller et all because we all know trump loves to prove the press wrong and always does the opposite of what his advisors tell him to do on purpose.
ReplyDeleteTreat him like the toddler that he acts like.
As fir Podesta and russian business,does he really want to go there,his inner circle has more ties to russia than some russians do.
The press is guiding Trump since he watches them exclusively. They need to shut their mouths as they obviously have no clue how or what Trump thinks! All they do is publish what they think he thinks! Screwed up mess every where you look these days!
DeleteGood Grief. Cohen’s World Gets Mobbier The Closer I Look
ReplyDeleteThe Donald Trump-Russia connections just keep cropping up. Now there are explosive new details about his so-called attorney, Michael Cohen, who just so happened to grow up in a rather exclusive NYC club that was known as the preferred meeting spot of the Russian mob in the U.S.

ReplyDeleteBarbara Bush died. That happened on Trump's watch.

Delete'“Barbara Bush was a nasty drunk. When it came to drinking she made Betty Ford look like Carrie Nation #blottoBabs,” Stone wrote, hours after the former first lady's death. “Barbara Bush drank so much booze, if they cremated her … her body would burn for three days.”"TheWrap. “Barbara Bush was a vindictive, entitled, mean-spirited woman"
"Stone has never been shy about his disdain for the Bush family. He penned Jeb! and the Bush Crime Family: The Inside Story of an American Dynasty, published in 2016.
A longtime Trump ally, Stone once worked as a lobbyist for the business mogul's casinos and, as early as 1988, urged him to run for political office. When Trump decided to run for president in 2016, he gave Stone a job as an adviser."
"National Review wrote after Stone had left the campaign. "Trump without Stone is akin to George W. Bush without Karl Rove or Barack Obama without David Axelrod.""
Stone is full of bullshit! Proven time and time again. You can tell he's a buddy of Trump's - they speak exactly the same.
DeleteThat guy is such a pain in the ass. Damn, but he needs to be run out of D.C. asap. Cannot stand him and he doesn't represent me in any way!
ReplyDeleteHey don said he would respectfully walk out if not successful. Well then start walking Donnie. You are a "collusion" failure.

Does McConnell want Trump impeached? Is that the plan?
ReplyDeleteBecause even as it stands now, I think enough Republicans will jump ship and impeach him. A few have said it off the record. The ONLY value he has is in the 2018 elections and if they're going to lose anyway, basically lose BECAUSE of him, then why not just get rid of the fucker? I think they'd rather have Pence in the White House for the last two years of Trump's term and it could be they figure the only way they can do that is BEFORE the 2018 elections.
McConnell is turning out to be so much more toxic for this country than Karl Rove was. Pence is going to be so much worse than Cheney.
