That is the impeachment process, if they think there was obstruction go at it, it doesn't have to meet any legal test unlike Mueller's report & Barr's decision that there was nothing that met the legal definition of obstruction but that doesn't matter in a impeachment.

High Crimes and Misdemeanors is a broad undefined brush and it is purely a political process

But just trolling through historical financial records looking for crimes? How does that help future of politics, how do you think that will be weaponised in the future? Because the precedent will be used against them as well

Very interesting interview between Mark Steyn and George Papadopoulos.

Its in two parts but runs through how he was set up and the depth and breadth of this is quite astounding. Involves at the minimum UK, Australian and Italian governments and their agencies. As for Russian collusion its an absolute joke - Josef Mifsud was not a Russian anything but a CIA connection. Hence why Boris Johnson is not being charged with collusion.

That would explain the multiple enquiries into the American deaths at embassies in Beirut in 1984 and Kenya and Tanzania in 1998.

Checks and balances, yes, but opening the window to fishing expeditions will bite them.

Have an issue worthy of impeachment or a specific issue before a committee, start the process and go at it.

But no evidence of a crime but lets just see all these financials anyway because we may find something - really?

So the head of HUD doest know what a REO is ? kakistocracy for real

Really so looking through 6 year old plus financials for obstruction in the last 18 months makes sense to you?

She owned Carson, they need more of her, she just tears new assholes. Which is impressive because Carson is already a giant arsehole. It’s ridiculous how incompetent this administration is. These people he’s nominated, with the exception of Gorsuch, are either useless or stealing, sometimes both.

“He literally gave zero competent answers today.” Was how she described the events.

I see they are trying to negotiate leaving Barr alone for the un-redacted report with Schiff now.

HTF any of his supporters think they have credibility is beyond me. How much more incompetent does this administration have to get, is it even possible to be more incompetent? Is this rock bottom? De Vos, Carson, Pai, Mnuchin, Bolton ...

So you believe him but not the intelligence agencies. Again I ask what has he done or shown for you to even believe that he is not a raging idiot like the whole administration. Clear everything else away and the constant stupidity of this administration is why they have no credibility with those of us on Earth 1.

The list of demands for the potential 'Immigration Czar' Kris Kobach is a thing of beauty. Scott Pruitt and Ryan Zinke wish they could have thought of this kind of stuff, private jet, guaranteed promotion, unlimited access...:

1. Office in the West Wing.
2. Walk-in privileges with the president.
3. Assistant to the President rank - at highest pay level for WH senior staff.
4. Staff of 7 people (2 attorneys, 2 research analysts, 1 scheduler, 1 media person, 1 assistant).
5. POTUS sits down individually with Czar and the secretaries of Homeland Security, Defense, Justice, Ag, Interior, and Commerce, and tells each of the Secretaries to follow the directives of the Czar without delay, subject to appeal to the President in cases of disagreement.
6. 24/7 access to either a DHS or DOD jet. Czar must be on the border every week.
7. Ability to spend weekends in KS with family on way from border back to DC, unless POTUS needs Czar elsewhere.
8. Security detail if deemed necessary after security review.
9. Serve as the face of Trump immigration policy - the principal spokesman on television and in the media.
10. Promise that by November 1, 2019, the president will nominate Kris Kobach to be DHS Secretary, unless Kobach wishes to continue in Czar position.

Do yourself a favour and listen to it before commenting on it.

They should let Katie loose on him.

As for Russian collusion its an absolute joke

Make sure you read the Mueller report first so you have an idea from a genuinely independent investigator without any skin in the game on the breadth and depth of potential issues Trump and his administration are facing. That includes contact with Russia too.

As for Russian collusion its an absolute joke

Yes I did and no collusion and in fact out of it is now a special prosecutor and several investigations into the genesis of the report. What Mueller takes as face value in the report can be questioned though. And it is hence the new investigations by Barr.

Why would he want the DHS job? The way he's requesting this be set up he would actually have more power than the VP.

And where the fudge will they find enough space for his ego in the West Wing?

Seeing as the White House Press Briefing Room is no longer being used at all, they could maybe turn it into a stable where he could park his ego.

"An Oreo?"


Katie Porter is the MVP of congress right now, she's been kicking ass repeatedly, simply by actually knowing what she's talking about when questioning anyone in front of her.

So who gets to say it's a fishing expedition? Trump?

There is enough in the Mueller report to warrant further investigation. McGann has already testified to Mueller; how can you call it a 'fishing expedition' if the testimony is already out there and gives a credible implication of wrongdoing?

Impeachment will be blocked and is unlikely to be successful and it's very unlikely that Trump would stand down as Nixon did.

So basically your definition of "checks and balances" means no checks and involves no balance.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) is my favorite for his interrogation of Judicial nominees and particularly the questions he put to Matthew Spencer Petersen.

Also like the game “Who said it: Sen. John Kennedy or Foghorn Leghorn?”

15/18. Big fan of Foghorn Leghorn, this Kennedy bloke's just not doing it right.

House Freedom Caucus votees to condemn Justin Amash over...

Freedom of Speech.

On Carson, I see he has sent Porter a packet of Oreos after the hearing. Waiting to see who is first to mis-characterize the exchange.

This freshman class have all be pretty good. Her roommate AOC gets all the headlines because the GOP are out to make her the new HRC but Porter is good, Pressly who along with Booker just submitted a maternal mortality bill and Jayapal submitted an impressive medicare bill. US democracy will be saved by Women and Women of Color.
