They made up a phony collusion with the Russians story, found zero proof, so now they go for obstruction of justice on the phony story. Nice

[gopiscrap]

82. I love your picture in your response

[kentuck]

3. Found zero proof?

How about that guy that met with the Russian Ambassador and Foreign Minister in the White House, along with the TV camera from Tass, the Russian media company? And no American news media was permitted - in our own White House!

And what about that guy that told the Russians the "pressure" was now off, since he had just fired the FBI Director the day before? No proof of obstruction there, huh?

[BumRushDaShow]

10. THIS

Plus he blabbed about classified Israeli intelligence while he was at it, easily flicking Bibi under the bus.

[Botany]

71. From the NY Times ..... thanx for the link

WASHINGTON — President Trump told Russian officials in the Oval Office this month that firing the F.B.I. director, James B. Comey, had relieved “great pressure” on him, according to a document summarizing the meeting.

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job,” Mr. Trump said, according to the document, which was read to The New York Times by an American official. “I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

Mr. Trump added, “I’m not under investigation.”

The conversation, during a May 10 meeting — the day after he fired Mr. Comey — reinforces the notion that the president dismissed him primarily because of the bureau’s investigation into possible collusion between Mr. Trump’s campaign and Russian operatives. Mr. Trump said as much in one televised interview, but the White House has offered changing justifications for the firing.

The comments represented an extraordinary moment in the investigation, which centers in part on the administration’s contacts with Russian officials: A day after firing the man leading that inquiry, Mr. Trump disparaged him — to Russian officials.

[BumRushDaShow]

72. Plus I forgot about another

(NYT link by the way - https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/us/politics/trump-russia-comey.html)

Lester Holt interview -

[classykaren]

46. Thank you for reminding us.

[malaise]

76. And several meetings at the Con's Tower

[BumRushDaShow]

79. He had a whole parade of people at the Tower after the election

while he held court there. I expect all of it is on lobby security video (although they may have had it wiped ).

You notice he hasn't (at least publicly) returned there since the inauguration. I wouldn't rule out other parades of folks at Mar-a-Largo, his VA golf course and his NJ golf course.

[malaise]

81. Rule out nothing with these

goons

[underpants]

4. Sounds like Rush Limbaugh and other talk radio

Literally verbatim

[Cha]

26. IOW cheato didn't write that.. it

9. Keep digging that hole deeper with your tiny fingers.

[PearliePoo2]

11. Any more where that came from donald? Surely you're not done!

Please proceed idiot.

[Vinca]

12. But, Don . . . you said you were exonerated. ROFL.

[Progressive dog]

13. I can read that tweet as an admission of obstruction,

and I intend to. The psychopath apparently thinks that obstruction is OK if it has succeeded.

[BumRushDaShow]

14. What he did (and still does) is typical "business" practice

You protect your "brand" at all costs in order to shore up your bottom line and maximize your profits, and you get rid of anyone who works for you who may be hindering that, in order to "succeed".

But he and his kin and other ilk refuse to accept the fact that "government" is not run like "a business", as much as they fantasize that it can be.

[smirkymonkey]

15. God, he's such a bore.

[Mr. Ected]

16. Only Trump and his legion of fools believes that Mueller has "found zero proof"

The evidence isn't announced as it's being gathered.

Mueller will reveal his proof when the time is right. It will not be pretty.

And all these denials will only intensify his crucifixion.

[BumRushDaShow]

18. He has to assure his "base" that they should believe his fake narrative.

[ResistantAmerican17]

17. Proceed Dick

By all means dig that hole deeper and deeper.

[BumRushDaShow]

19. Welcome to DU!

[ResistantAmerican17]

27. Thanks!!!

So glad to be back. Keeping my mouth shut just wasn't an option any more!

[FailureToCommunicate]

21. Here, take this one. And there are plenty more available.

In your favorite color as well...

[BumRushDaShow]

37. I think he traded up

[leftynyc]

24. What's REALLY nice

is the degenerate brought this all on himself. If he hadn't fired Comey, Comey's memo would have remained private, no special counsel would have been named and there would be no obstruction investigation. He fired Comey and Comey has screwed him over thoroughly.

[BumRushDaShow]

29. Not only that

He bragged to Russian officials (Foreign Minister & Ambassador) with the following -

“I just fired the head of the F.B.I. He was crazy, a real nut job. I faced great pressure because of Russia. That’s taken off.”

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/19/us/politics/trump-russia-comey.html

And that was codified in meeting notes that were distributed!!!!!

[leftynyc]

50. LOL - I had forgotten

about that very important detail. The degenerate has only himself to blame.

[BumRushDaShow]

57. Completely self-inflicted

due to his propensity to be a braggart.

[mdbl]

34. I'm not convinced keeping Comey would have helped him much

Comey was already trying to protect himself from trump b4 he was fired. Also, the unrest in the intelligence community would have continued either way.

[BumRushDaShow]

40. The thing is

He could have dipped and dodged around the stuff happening with Flynn. Manafort, and Page, et al, and like a good little mafioso, he could have used them as a firewall to establish his separation from their dealings. But once he tried to interfere on behalf of Flynn, things escalated, he had a temper tantrum, and that has lead us to what is happening today.

The "obstruction of justice" thing is actually "new" and only casually associated with the collusion stuff. And theoretically, the firing of Comey might have been pooh-poohed somewhat by investigators, but his continued actions (including his codified salacious remarks to Russian officials as to "why" he fired Comey), plus his continued tweeting, have helped to establish his intent.

[leftynyc]

51. I think it would have made

the obstruction charge harder to make. As it is, he seems to fire anyone who is investigating him - the very definition of obstruction.

[Juliusseizure]

80. Comey seemed conflicted; Mueller doesn't

Comey seemed to drag the investigation out, didn't admit one existed until well after inauguration (unlike reopening Clinton's), tried to "manage" Trump rather than tell him to butt out. He only consolidated the NY FBI and Wa. investigating branches to Wa. 8 months into it.

He wasn't even investigating obstruction, and he's the key witness. He only brought it up AFTER he was fired, making him part of the cover up. I seriously doubt he would have disclosed that if he stayed FBI head.

He was talking about the investigation lasting years. Trump could have survived for years if he was more strategic and politically sophisticated.

His firing is what caused Rosenstein to appoint a special prosecutor.

True, Mueller's role is different, but I don't think that has much bearing on the dramatic increase in Meuller's pace. How refreshing to see someone in government doing the fuck they're supposed to be doing.

He's only been in two weeks and already subpoenaening NSA heads for obstruction charges against the President, i.e., no hesitation or fear, and no intent to "manage" Trump or ease up because he's "new".

[american_ideals]

28. Who cares. Ignore his words - they're all lies

[BumRushDaShow]

33. "His words" (including these tweets) are ALL official government records

are subject to the PRA (Presidential Records Act), are to be preserved, and will most likely be included as part of any investigation that involves himself and his associates.

This is why when Obama was elected and begged for use of his blackberry, all kinds of hoops were jumped to give him a specially-configured and secure one that he used very judiciously separate from the @POTUS account (that Drumpf's staff stick random info on).

[american_ideals]

89. Great. Still we can ignore his words/lies.

I'd rather focus on people who tell the truth.

[kentuck]

30. It looks like someone else may have written that tweet?

He should understand that the investigation is not yet over. It's a shame the President cannot have secrets like a normal oligarch...

[BumRushDaShow]

35. He (if it was him) just tweeted again - I added to OP

[stillsoleft]

31. Who are "they" and where can I sign up?

[KingCharlemagne]

62. We have met the 'they' and they are us. With apologies to

Walt Kelly and "Pogo."

[mdbl]

32. He's just too narcissistic to understand that he and some in his cabinet are unable

to make decisions that are best for the country due to their financial ties to Russia and other countries. He still needs to throw everything in a blind trust and cut ties with anyone dealing with Russian banks, etc.

[BumRushDaShow]

36. He can't unwind his stuff

It is such a nightmare that his whole empire would collapse because it was built on the house of cards of shady deals.

[Botany]

38. phony collusion????

17 different agencies such as the FBI, the CIA, the NSA, and so on all
say Russia was hacking our elections.

You want proof? President Donald Trump.

[BumRushDaShow]

41. Well ironically

some of the "new heads" of those 17 agencies are now stonewalling (like Beauregard, Coats, and Rogers)!

[Botany]

44. Donald fired Comey to stop the investigation into the Trump/Russia links.

"It's my judgment that I was fired because of the Russia investigation," Comey told the Senate intelligence committee in explosive testimony that threatened to undermine Trump's presidency.

http://6abc.com/politics/comey-says-he-was-fired-because-of-russia-investigation/2070552/

[BumRushDaShow]

45. And he said as much to the Russians

the remarks of which were codified and distributed - https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=9207356

[Botany]

48. And Trump asked Russia to hack Hillary's computer

[BumRushDaShow]

53. Yup

and just like his "Muslim Bans" failed because of his words and tweets, so too will he have difficulty defending against an obstruction charge.

[leftyladyfrommo]

52. Wow. He is pissed. New day. Same old song. Nt

[BumRushDaShow]

55. Some folks have been noting

that his staff (the purported War Room/communications people) may have composed the tweets. They are pretty muted. But I expect he will "get revenge" somehow... He harbors things for a long time.

[leftyladyfrommo]

61. He harbors things forever.

He does things to himself and then screams bloody murder when he finds out he broke the law.

Those pesky stupid laws.

[BumRushDaShow]

66. He spent decades flying under the radar with his shady business dealings

But now that he is in government, he is frustrated that he is under a microscope and he can't seem to get out from under it. But he is his own worst enemy because he took the office for the sole purpose of being in the spotlight where he could promote his "brand" and make money off of it.... But with that spotlight comes the microscope.

[apcalc]

54. The more he tweets , the better....

PS IF he wants advice on how to handle real witch hunts with class, ask HRC.

[zanana1]

56. The pundits are talking about more civility in congress...

Funny they haven't yet talked about our Supreme Leader, Orange guy. It's not the "despicable" actions of Democrats and Liberals, it's Trump's tweets and shameful campaign tirades that started it all.

[BumRushDaShow]

75. They need his "tirades" for ratings.

That's the sad part.

[Renew Deal]

59. How many more people have to resign or recuse because of Russian collusion?

[liberal N proud]

60. Does Butternut go with Orange?

[vlyons]

64. Trump's goose is so cooked

He will not get out of this one. Mueller will baste him with butter and roast him to well done. Justice is a virtue my friends. Let's all be patient and let Mueller do his job. I want him to catch as many of the criminals as possible.

[SHRED]

69. He can't stop digging

[BigmanPigman]

70. Keep on tweeting fat boy. Tweet yourself directly to jail and don't pass go or collect $200.

[DesertRat]

73. I like how he uses collusion as a noun

"A phony collusion"- like a phony president.

[BumRushDaShow]

74. We are forced to live in his "reality show" world

[lunatica]

77. He's become totally predictable

and boring in his endless and asinine repetition and platitudinous superlatives based on his hubristic self adoration. The whole world must be rolling their eyes by now at his constant and never ending addiction demand to be the entire universe in the world's consciousness.

Everything he does is knee jerk reactivity without a scintilla of brain involvement which could maybe give him some pause so he could bring some thought to bear to just how idiotic his words and actions are.

Sigh...

[BumRushDaShow]

78. That's why he keeps demanding

that his staff create "campaign style" events for him to attend so that he can be in front of "cheering crowds"... And for that brief moment, he is "on top of the world".

[lunatica]

83. Even his gigantic ego isn't enough to prop him up

He needs constant adulation not only from his base, but evidently from his entire cabinet now. Jeez! All I can say is after that ass kissing he got he must have hickies!

[BumRushDaShow]

84. And guess what? He is on a "campaign style tweet storm" against Hillary this afternoon!
