Did the White House just acknowledge that the perfect Ukraine call transcript was moved to secure system?
Looks like it.

That in itself isn't very smart, if in fact, that what the cheeto is thinking.
At least with pence as president, he could be pardoned for his Federal crimes. yes, I know
that cheeto would still have to face the SDNY crimes he probably committed, in that state.

But then, no one ever accused the orange orangutan of having any common sense.

Yeah the plan of bringing Pence down with him is far too complex of a plan for the President to follow.
The President is just a whiny snowflake who can’t accept any blame. He will divert to every single person in the world.
I’m not kidding, he would even throw @SlowSpyder under the bus.

Formal inquiry. Inquiry. Nothing will happen lol. It’ll be just like Mueller. The plan of the Dems is to keep him under constant pressure until Election Day, not to actually remove him from office. Y’all dont get your hopes up on anything beyond more than theatrics

I’m okay with a Benghazi theater.

He really doesn't understand what he is seeing at all. He thinks this is the same as Mueller not making an impact but Trump provided proof of him attempting to collude with Zelensky the very next day after Mueller. Benghazi? I should think a one act play on this matter.

But what happens next? Once all the witnesses either cooperate or go the way of the Plumbers, we peel the thing that is Trump-like an onion until his impeachable past is dissected. This took about 4 months for Nixon IRRC. With the Reps stalling we might be looking into spring which is very bad for Republicans as the longer Trump obstructs the nearer it is to election.

This is a scary tipping point. Trump officials aren't being squirrelly. By and large their approach is to treat everything with contempt. When that starts happening, if Republican media and politicians go all in on that side, the only resolution will be violent.

Eh? Are you saying republicans are going to get violent?

it's official, and definitely not surprising, CNN is reporting that Trump's phone calls with MBS and Putin were squirreled away just as the Ukraine call was.

They all are squirreled away on that super super secure server post the Presidents first few embarrassing meet ups were “leaked” to the Press by the Shark Tank that is the White House.

You didn't ask me but...
I don't know what right wing nutters will do but some have already committed or attempted to harm others. Once Trump is in the metaphorical gallows it is not unreasonable to see terrorism is a real possibility.

Trump checks with the NRA to see what it would take to get some financial support for his impeachment defense.

It would be cool if trump could be a great criminal like obama. Look at all the stuff the tossed at obama with nothing sticking. Obama was a real master.

Remember the part after this?
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go thru life.

President certainly is fat, drunk with power and I think most agree he’s sort of stupid.

Joe isn't relevant but Trump's provided snippet shows he's committed a Constitutionally valid reason to be impeached and removed.

Ben Franklin would have had him at the end of a noose.

But keep trying

Funny thing is Trump shits on everyone and burns all bridges plus salts the fields..
Assuming Trump didn’t shit on the Clintons and Obama I bet they could give him some good advice to follow.

I think Pence would make a fine president. He could still do 8 years after finishing Trumps presidency, right?
