Trump may block Mueller from testifying

[watoos]

It’s possible that Trump May even block Mueller from testifying before Congress.
From what I’ve heard on All Inn, Democrats have no solution to the Trump/Barr obstruction.

Waiting for more recruits for impeachment

[world wide wally]

1. Looking like impeachment is the only way to go.

[uponit7771]

2. Yes he will, then dems need to make all the noise they can

[malaise]

3. He can try n/t

[wasupaloopa]

4. Impeachment will not change anything. The only way to fix this problem is to vote.

Trump can block all evidence for impeachment. Congress will not convict him.

Impeachment will get him re-elected.

[handmade34]

6. impeach

AND Vote! we can do both

[wasupaloopa]

24. Impeachment may make the job of voting to beat

trump harder.

[Sugarcoated]

7. It'll change people's views that Democrats are as bad as Republicans

That both parties are basically the same. It will change the perception that Dems are spineless wimps, that they put politics over doing the right thing. They won't win back blue collar/middle class Americans if they don't hold the rich elite pig accountable when any one of them would be sent right to jail for the same.

[TwilightZone]

11. The % of people who believe the "both sides" nonsense is small.

It's mostly third party yahoos like Jill Stein and large-L Libertarians.

[Sugarcoated]

13. I don't know that that's necessarily true

but that assumption aside, it's not just those types that believe the coke/pepsi comparison, many Democrats and Liberals feel disgusted and betrayed. In fact, that's what prepared the fertile ground for crooked Don to poach blue collar voters in PA

[wasupaloopa]

27. How will impeachment hold the pig accountable if the Senate will not convict?

[Haggis for Breakfast]

22. You are wrong about that.

Impeachment will lead to discovery. EVERYTHING will be on the table. There is nothing he can do to prevent the discovery phase. And when it all comes out, the repukes will have mutiny on their hands if they fail to act.

[mr_lebowski]

37. Yes there is, he can say 'fuck you, NO', just like he's doing now and order his dept. heads

to refuse to turn anything over or testify. What's anyone going to do, if the Justice Dept. is too corrupt to act?

Even if he loses court cases, without Federal law enforcement showing up and enforcing those decisions, what could be done?

[stopbush]

35. And if tRump wins in 2020 and the Rs regain the House, what then?

[watoos]

5. Hmm, there is another way

Congress needs to start cutting off funding

[davekriss]

14. The power of the purse!

[TwilightZone]

8. Impeachment is not going to magically make Trump cooperate.

If you believe it will, you haven't been paying attention.

[mr_lebowski]

38. I agree ... this is a completely lawless administration, with enough of a fascist base behind him

that he'd have a decent chance to win in 2020 even if he dismembered live babies and consumed their brains with his bare hands on live television, as long as he continues to hate who they hate.

They will refuse to cooperate for impeachment proceedings any more than they do right now. Probably even less.

[spanone]

9. he's angling to be the first dictator of America.

I want the impeachment stain and stench on whatever legacy of shit he leaves behind.

[kentuck]

10. Mueller could resign effective immediately.

And get himself out from under the dictator.

[C_U_L8R]

12. Just try it Trump

That’s handing us victory.

[standingtall]

15. Trump needs to be impeached soon

He is going to do everything he can to obstruct congressional over site evident by his attempt to block anyone associate with him from testifying in front of congress. My guess is his next step will be to offer them pardons for defying subpoenas if he hasn't already. If we don't show a backbone and impeach him for what he has done it will not be a good look for us in 2020 and Trump must be defeated for the good of this country.

[TwilightZone]

16. There's nothing stopping him from doing the same thing re: impeachment hearings.

And he undoubtedly will.

Impeachment isn't a magic wand that will force him to cooperate. Dems will be dealing with similar obstruction in any of the multiple, ongoing investigations whether they're under the guise of impeachment or not.

[standingtall]

18. Impeaching him makes our case with the American people

a lot stronger and will get the Supreme Court involved a lot quicker which is what we need to do. Yes I know there are 5 republicans on the supreme court, but I do not believe Roberts is willing to cede that kind of power to Trump. We force Trump to refuse to comply with a supreme court order and make senate republicans defend themselves for not voting to impeach Trump after that they answer to voters for it in 2020.

[StarfishSaver]

20. How will impeachment change any of this if he remains in office?

[standingtall]

23. We could not impeach him and he still could get reelected

He will do ever thing he can to get reelected including out right stealing the election. Impeaching him will get more people paying attention and to be on the look out for his efforts to steal the election in 2020.

[StarfishSaver]

25. What about impeachment will "get more people to pay attention"?

[standingtall]

31. Impeachment hearings will on primetime Television

even on faux news.

[StarfishSaver]

33. Hearings aren't usually held in primetime

They're conducted in the middle of the day.

But there's nothing magical about impeachment hearings that make them more likely to be broadcast on the networks than other hearings.

[standingtall]

34. Impeachments are viewed as a direct threat to a Presidency

and for that reason all networks will broadcast them in prime time as long as the house of representatives decides to have hearings at night.

[COLGATE4]

36. If he is in the midst of impeachment proceeding, perhaps

he can't dangle possible pardons. The pardons clause of the Constitution provides that "The President...shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment."

[bdamomma]

17. Not only Mueller

now he doesn't even want McGahn to testify either, Trump is exercising his dictatorial powers. WTF.

I hope he has a meltdown he deserves it.

[UTUSN]

19. That's fine, MUELLER has testified with his report.

21. He can't. Mueller will be a private citizen and will decide on his own whether to attend

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. He can try, but he can't prevent it.

[Botany]

28. He can't handle the truth

end of story

[bitterross]

29. He's DARING the Dems to impeach him.

It's quite obvious. He thinks they won't do it. Perhaps he is correct.

[DeminPennswoods]

30. Joy Reid was in "woe is me" mode

nt

[ooky]

32. Of course he will.
