Is this the worst cover-up aka violation of law by a President in American history?

[malaise]

Help!

Reworded - thank you cynatnite

[cynatnite]

1. This was not a cover-up. It was a pass for tRump to break the law...

I really wish people would quit calling it that.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

7. yes. Didn't hide it -- GOPers condoned lawless behavior of their own

[Brainfodder]

2. Since it's still on-going and so many witches are still at large?

YES!

/free hugs until election day!

[Ptah]

3. We will never know.

[greatauntoftriplets]

4. Yes.

Also a miscarriage of justice.

[Iliyah]

5. Republicans were pretty shity in the early 20th century . . .

Also mid 20th century too. There is a pattern with them.

More bombshells will drop. Majority of Americans know that the Republican senate, WH, the illegal person in the WH and DOJ are corrupt.

6. As far as I'm concerned, this 'Great Experiment in Democracy' just ran off of the cliff

I really feel like every effort we take, for the 2020 election, will likely end up being an exercise in futility because the Party of Putin now will feel as if they have carte blanche to steal that election and exploit the hell out of the country, from this day forward.

10. treasonous GOP granted themselves permission to bow to Putin . . .

The actions of the Republicans in our Senate constitute permission to Trump to use all of OUR resources to rig OUR elections.

16. Very well said

Chief Justice John Roberts, who might have inserted himself into the proceedings to chide breaches of truth as opposed to lapses in civil discourse, will have a fun story to tell on the D.C. cocktail party circuit about the time he narrowly avoided having to break a tie or otherwise allow the stink of the political branches to sully his robes. Sen. Lamar Alexander, who was briefly held out to be the last independent-thinking, old guard institutionalist, could have held out for witness testimony, as opposed to proclaiming that nobody needed to hear from witnesses to know that the president had engaged in misconduct that isn’t impeachable. Sen. Lisa Murkowski courageously grounds her refusal to stand up for the proposition that trials ought to have witnesses in the fact that John Roberts should not have to courageously stand up for the proposition that trials ought to have witnesses. All of this chatter for the goal of producing a trial unrecognizable as such, with even Murkowski herself acknowledging “there will be no fair trial in the Senate.”


As Auden put it, “The elderly rubbish they talk/ To an apathetic grave.” The game here was resoundingly similar to the Brett Kavanaugh confirmation hearing: Keep insisting that the only fair process was no process, allowing the rules of the road to produce slow death by neutral bystander.

17. it is a tragic day for the non-cult members of the US.

the trump cult assholes can go...well, you know.

9. The most important election since November 1860.

[bluestarone]

11. Well it could be the first step to a

RIGGED election! (seems like they have no fear of losing) EYES and EARS need to be wide open! Can't let them get away with anymore!

[FiveGoodMen]

13. It has competition from Dubya's two pointless wars

[Hermit-The-Prog]

14. it's a license to steal, granted by GOP, to GOP

Putin, through Trump, will soon have access to all of our Federal resources to erode, corrupt, and destroy democracy in favor of oligarchy.

[DeminPennswoods]

15. Nothing has been covered up, it's all out in the open

The Rs have proven they don't care as long as a President Trump gives them tax cuts, judges, more money for DoD than it can spend, cuts to the social safety net, etc.

[XRubicon]

18. Yes
