They might have him on a campaign finance violation. Even they know that won’t result in Trumps removal. They are slowly moving the goal posts on Russia. It’s now he knew about Wikileaks! Which I don’t see how that could be illegal. And he still had business interests with them. Which is also not illegal. Sure he lied. Sure he’s a scumbag.

What’s the campaign finance violation?

Kind of shows how the Republican lead committees glossed over everything when they were in charge. By glossed over I mean completely dodged their responsibilities to the country.

How so? What did we hear today that should have been investigated (Russian collusion/election interference) that they glossed over?

They brought in Cohen. Did Dems ask those questions when they had the opportunity?

I know I'm going to draw heat from our liberal posters for this question, but so be it. Why is Hillary and the DNC funding the Steele Dossier, a document put together by a foreign national, seen as okay? I mean, hasn't that been proven? How is that not election interference from an outside source? This isn't "whataboutism", I'd just like an explanation of why it's considered acceptable.

Weisselberg will be subpoenaed. Trump's poor secretary will be subpoenaed. I hope they bring Don Jr. back so we can play over/under on invocations of the 5th.

Lots of leads on various forms of tax and financial crimes and campaign finance fraud. This is a very, very bad day for Trump.

Oh, and his bootlickers looked pathetic

I'm confused - when is taking the 5th no big deal and when is it a proxy for guilt? the rules here keep shifting.

As for all those "leads" - the source of the leads and key witness is going to prison shortly; seem SDNY and Mueller might keep him on ice if they needed him to serve as a witness.

No, he's not, but he's "not a good guy" in just a different way that career politicians. He's brash, and they are sneaky. I think most career politicians are just as dirty in their own way ... particularly since we as a country seem un-bothered by political graft and bribery. I have no idea what you call favored legislation and campaign donations if it isn't bribe and payback ... which if Trump did in business would have him in prison. Insider trading would also have Trump in prison, but politicians make out like bandits on what they know will happen. You can make millions wheeling and dealing in business, but theoretically, you couldn't make millions on a congressional salary. Trump's biggest problem is being an outsider and having played a different game than long time politicians, and they see him as a threat to their dirty game because he hasn't been doing what they have and is immune to their own form of criminality. Trump is simply the loose cannon that could expose them and upset their cozy little world ... which is representing themselves ... not us.

Wow. Nail, head, meet hammer. That’s why people on both sides don’t like him. He isn’t one of them but it will be very interesting to see if the Republicans actually keep their balls after Trump is gone or if they will shrivel up again. No one has stood up to or exposed all of the BS from the Democrats and the media like Trump and I love that part of this whole thing. My gut tells me that all goes back to status quo after his 8 years are up though. I hope I’m wrong. Hopefully the Republicans will see they don’t have to put up with this nonsense and learn to fight back.

And that's fine, but the political theater that elected officials have engaged in since Trump was elected in no way benefits our country. If "embarrassment" was really a concern, why are we so adamant to show the world our dirty underwear? I've said all along, if you want Trump gone, vote him out in 2020. What's currently happening in government is far more harmful than helpful to our country.

And guess who’s paying for all of these special investigations? Whether for Trump or not we all are paying for these shenanigans. At least on days like today we get some entertainment!
