Donnie was basically in the clear. Off the hook in the 2016 election, even though the Mueller report was pretty devastating, it didn't seem like we'd see him impeached for whatever reason.
He couldn't leave well enough alone and he couldn't stand the fact that most everybody sees him as illegitimate, so he sent out his lackeys to try and manufacture the evidence that it was I guess Biden and his son involved in the 2016 election, based on a conspiracy from the nutballs on the right, and no one could talk him out of self-immolation?
All I can say is, it is good damn luck that the democrats are in power in the house and he's so fucking stupid.

The shit that the Russians have on the GOP has to be damn awful and extremely illegal.

(10,202 posts)The GOP loves money more than their country. They'll do most anything to the US for a buck.

(42,601 posts)After he was inaugurated, he didn't have to do anything. Just play golf, stay off Twitter, and sign whatever the Republicans wanted him to sign. They didn't even care about his clubs or hotels--all he had to do was count up all the new revenue coming in from raising fees and increased occupancy. But no, Donnie Dumbass had to become Donnie Dictator. That's what lost the GOP the House in 2018 and will hopefully destroy them all in 2020.

(269,157 posts)That took serious hard work which will have to be repeated to see this to completion. Lots of criminals are still walking free.

(373 posts)Increase his public visibility and brand recognition, feed his tiny ego, exposure for his mob-like family.
But it's pretty uncomfortable now. He has to actually do the job he knows nothing about (or cares about).
And he'll be humiliated (his most unfavorite thing), impeached, and imprisoned (when he leaves office). His empire becomes dust.

(567 posts)I think Trump realized when he lost the House in 2018, that he was gonna lose investigative powers where Nunes was at the ready to set up the alibis but the public smelled something from Denmark and instead Dumpty I assume, since then, has been at full bore destroying documents, switching servers, coordinating witnesses, threatening witnesses, and now today calling all police and bikers for Trump stating that it's time to get tough.
It really wasn't a stupid plan... He had to fire and remove what three four major players? Had the fake EU Rep coordinate with Giuliani only on the matter while he shut down other SoS staff in the process.
Maybe desperate people do stupid things, but I think when more details come out including possibly coordinating testimony, even more shoes are gonna drop and hopefully more patriots stepping forward.

(22,853 posts)That's what Barr said. The truth is that Mueller listed 10 instances of obstruction of justice. But you're absolutely right that Trump never knows when to stop.

Once that's factored into the equation, it all becomes clear.
