Louis Gohmert is the male version of a cross between Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman. Not a compliment.
There’s a whole bunch of fapping going on right now. The lefties are giddy with anticipation. However unless they can prove beyond a doubt that it wasn’t a personal contribution they lose. A former FEC commissioner already came out and said that and even stated candidates get a lot of latitude in this regard.
Big ole case of serious blue balls getting lined up here.
Lol. Even WaPo published his op-ed on it. Womp womp.
Opinion | Those payments to women were unseemly. That doesn’t mean they were illegal.
Oh I know it isn’t the end of it. You lefties are gonna dig and dig and dig... and once you add them all up unless you can directly tie them to a campaign funds source he walks. Period. A candidate can spend as much of his own money as he wants.Do you honestly think that's the end of it?
They've got his accountant now. Sh#t, meet fan.

I have seen this sentiment expressed a few times now. Nixon was legitimately elected too in an enormous landslide in 1972 over George McGovern. He wasn't immune from being impeached and potentially removed from office and neither is Trump.It is certainly not the end of it. The Clinton/Muler team have an unlimited budget and an unlimited staff to conduct witch hunts until the end of time.
This is an attempted Coup by the Leftist to remove a legally elected president from office.
I also look for the Clinton/Muler team to attempt to remove VP Pence from office.
What is left to be determined are the Consequences of their actions down the road.

...and there are always consequences down the road in such a partisan environment. The next Democratic President will face incredibly intense scrutiny of his life (both professional and private) prior to being elected and if there is even the slightest anomaly, there will be a move by Republicans to impeach (if they have control of the House). Having said that, there will also be consequences for Republicans the next time the Democrats gain control of the Senate. The treatment of Merrick Garland in 2016 will not be forgotten. If Dems regain control of the Senate, in say 2020, and then Ruth Bader Ginsburg happens to pass away and Trump is still President? Trump will simply not be able to get a Supreme Court nominee confirmed regardless of who it is.
Sure... he was hated by the left. Had he not resigned, he would have been impeached by the House of Reps. and removed from office by the Senate because he had also lost support of Republicans as well. Sen. Barry Goldwater (R - AZ) to President Richard Nixon in August of 1974: "You only have 15 votes in the Senate against removing you from office... Mine is not one of them."President Nixon was HATED by the Leftists in America for exposing a Communist Soviet Spy, Alger Hiss (Pumpkin Papers), and his staunch anti- communism, as well as his opposition to Forced Busing, and his bombing of Communist North Vietnam. In addition, the Leftists despised the U.S. Senate campaign Nixon ran against democrat leftist, Helen Douglas, an actress who was married to actor, Melvyn Douglas. Nixon said of Helen Douglas, "She is pink right down to her underwear". John Fitzgerald Kennedy, a Democrat, donated $1,000 to Nixon's campaign in order to help defeat Douglas.
In 1972 the Leftists controlled nearly all of the media. That is not the case now.
The consequences today of instituting a Coup against a legally elected president, will be much more Severe.
The treatment of Robert Bork 30 years ago hasn't been.I have seen this sentiment expressed a few times now. Nixon was legitimately elected too in an enormous landslide in 1972 over George McGovern. He wasn't immune from being impeached and potentially removed from office and neither is Trump.

And a "coup" is a sudden, violent, and illegal seizure of power from a government. Impeaching a President in the House and then removing him from office in the Senate is neither a sudden process, a violent process or an illegal process. Continue using that word only if you want it to appear as though you don't know what it means.
Once again, you clearly don't know what the word "coup" means... but sound ignorant if you wish.It was a COUP, and the Leftists made sure that they first removed Vice-President Agnew from office, because he was more conservative than President Nixon. Agnew had be be done away with first, before they could move against Nixon.
Again, this ain't 1972. If a Coup is successful against President Trump, the consequences for that action down the road will be SEVERE
That's true.
I've tried what I can.
At this point, I don't think anything will matter anymore.
You're right. No one has changed their minds, other than liberal-minded posters who are now convinced it's espionage (at best).
Now, I guess I mostly just post to prove that I was right all along.
Which I was.
Once again, you clearly don't know what the word "coup" means... but sound ignorant if you wish.
Had a vote gone to the Senate, Nixon would have been removed from office with no more than 15 votes in his favor. Sen. Howard Baker (R - TN) also confirmed this number. There wasn't a more respected member of the Senate at the time than Baker.
Don't forget that the Democrats had an overwhelming majority in the Senate at the time (57-43). 11 Democrats voted "Yay" to confirm Thomas to the Court. They could have easily blocked his nomination without even having to look partisan while doing it... but they didn't, and in the process allowed Bush to have a very young and very conservative justice.Don’t forget the needless contention around Clarence Thomas either.
Don’t forget that before Bork and Thomas the votes were largely ceremonial as the primary vetting was done by the Judiciary Committee.Don't forget that the Democrats had an overwhelming majority in the Senate at the time (57-43). 11 Democrats voted "Yay" to confirm Thomas to the Court.

It wouldn't have mattered what the seat distribution was ... Freakin' Barry Goldwater had turned against Nixon. He was as conservative as it gets.
Oh, I agree with that. I've said many times that he won't be removed from office... until January 20, 2021.Here is the point. Republicans will control the senate in 2019 and 2020. It will take a far greater number of Republican senators votes to convict President Trump than it would have in 1972.
