Do you think if Trump's grades got out it would mean anything? The fact he's been lying through his teeth about his academic exploits is plain to see. It is possible seeing it on paper changes things, although I think only if they are actually bad and not simply well below Trump's boasts.

I just want them to come out because he tried the same shit on Obama. It would be satisfying to watch him throw out a turn only to have it smack him right in the face.

It was an offshoot of birtherism. The demand "show me your papers, boy"

Ouch. Today Cohen gave the committee copies of the statement with edits allegedly made by the Trump legal team that he delivered when he testified in 2017.

This would be the same statement that they flatly denied editing.

can lawyers be disbarred for instructing their clients to perjure themselves--or even alter their statements to make perjurous claims. (that's a word now)

All I can tell you guys is that the intelligence of con artists isn't measured in conventional terms. They are a breed apart, a different dimension of human consciousness. You can see thru the con, Trump's con, but a lot of people don't.

But that's the thing, his con is plain, simple, and requires no intelligence: He works on threats, loudness, and a confluence of lies that are deployed to bury the competing truth. That's all he's ever done. The only reason he succeeds in this pedestrian tactic is that he was gifted extreme wealth and can afford a team of shady lawyers to bury his many failures.

Yes, that would be subornation of perjury, which is a felony.

I get it. Thinking about it more, with all the shady crap around Trump it seems that some of his success lies in the fact that while there is plenty of indirect evidence of his fraud, there tend to be few smoking guns. That said, things like phony magazine covers, inaugural crowd sizes, etc. are clear and haven't really had much effect on Trump's base.

Suborning perjury is a crime so I'd say yes.

Here's the fun fact. if they reviewed his statement, made no changes nor challenged the incorrect timeline he gave on the Trump/Russia project they could still be in deep if they had any knowledge that time line was wrong.

Has Trump been impeached yet? Just checking?

Wonder when you guys will realize this collusion witch hunt puts you on the same shelf with "Jade Helm" conservatives...?

Haha remember when Obama wrote to Biden about Jade Helm and Obama was like ‘hey let’s launch an invasion of Texas’ and then Biden said ‘if it’s what you’re saying I love it, especially later in the summer’? That was a funny time.

What about Hillary, have they locked her up yet? The GOP and Trump has been in control for more then 2 years now, you would think that they would have gotten around to that. I seem to remember it being really, really important.

Well if there’s one thing Republicans clearly take seriously it’s security clearances, the handling of classified information, and the use of private email for public business.

I mean I was as shocked as anyone when the Republicans threw Ivanka and Jared in prison and then impeached Trump for his corrupt security clearance practices.

No it isn’t. They were under investigation by Ken Starr and he used his broad authority to pick apart every aspect of their business, personal and public office lives covering a 20 year span. What did he find on Hillary?? Nothing.

Hillary was under investigation for Benghazi and emails for over 3 years...Trey Gowdy even admitted it was a political witch hunt and they still couldn’t find anything.

Why hasn’t Trump ordered investigations into Uranium One? The Clinton Foundation? He knows they’ll yield nothing (besides she’s politically dead now.) There have been 3x-4x more resources and time investigating the Clintons than any investigation of Trump...but you idiots can’t see that.

when there is nothing to find after an excess of 30 years of targeted investigations, the only obvious conclusion to draw is that it's all a dedicated conspiracy to hide the real truth.

...oh wait, no...that is what morons do.

No use in trying to impeach him as the republicans in the Senate won't do it until there's no other recourse in the public's eyes.
