This is arrogant, out in the open, in our face obstruction. Trump and the people he promises pardons are committing more crimes in order to protect themselves. The Democrats must amp up the pressure, which will cause Trump and his people to self destruct. Trump is handling this is the worst possible way. It looks like "Trump's Last Stand".
It would make me very happy if Barr ended up in prison or at the very least resigned. I still cannot believe what he did when the report was released. He cleared Trump when the report was actually an indictment. He is going to testify soon in front of congress. I hope the Democrats go after him with everything they got. I want him ruined. I want them to force his resignation.
In private Trump must be a real sweet talker. He makes you think he is your his best friend. How else could he get people to protect him. He cons everybody. It's becoming clear Cohen told us the truth when he said Trump talks in code. He doesn't say, "I will pardon you". He says, "I love you, stay strong, I got your back".
My new rally cry is, Open Hearings, Open Hearings, Open Hearings. Put faces to the Mueller report. It will change everything just like it did during Watergate.

If he loses his 39%, they'll still have 51% of the voting machines.

(4,341 posts)I think he is a mafioso and understands the "Art of the Compromise" very well, I think he knowshow to compromise people.
My take on Lindsey Graham is that he didn't know he was compromised until the buffoon took him golfing, that is when Graham learned that he had received money from Russia and that unless he joined "the family", the buffoon would take care of his political career, which would most probably have a bad end. After that golf outing, Graham made a 180 turn, he went from criticizing the buffoon to lap dog licking the buffoon's paws.
I don't think he is a sweet talker, first of all his face is repulsive, he doesn't have any vocabulary or speech control, so unless you like mafia talk? I don't see how he can sweet-talk anyone, I think he knows very well how to compromise people, even when they don't even know they are being compromised. Mafia style.

(9,426 posts)It worked for J. Edgar Hoover. He had tapes of everyone, and even the presidents were afraid to fire him. It is obvious that tRump is a sub human. He has no human qualities whatsoever - NONE. Many of the people around him are afraid of losing their well paid positions. They compromise their integrity for the worst person EVER to hold the WH. They are letting the country down in the process.

Do not care if the Mango Mussolini goes to jail or not as long as he leaves offices disgraced along with his inbred family.

(155 posts)I cannot ever understand why Democrats never seem to grow a spine and get tough on their opposition. The Republicans would be jailing everyone if this was reverse. Sick of this double standard. Teach them a lesson. Do your jobs Dems!
