Trump would rather have felons in Congress than risk losing seats for Republicans. I would say that is the personification of party before country, but it appears Trump would rather have felons regardless.

The personification of party and ego over the rule of law. I honestly don't think it even occurs to Trump that it matters whether they are guilty of crimes or not.

Here's at least one repub senator with the balls to call the cheeto out.
https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entr...a-banana-republic_us_5b8db899e4b0511db3db3893

Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse accused President Donald Trump on Monday of treating the nation like a “banana republic” after Trump lashed out at Attorney General Jeff Sessions for pursuing federal criminal charges against two GOP congressmen up for re-election.

"Sasse, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, shot back with an angry statement that people who break the law should be held accountable, regardless of their political affiliation.
“The United States is not some banana republic with a two-tiered system of justice — one for the majority party and one for the minority party,” Sasse wrote.

“These two men have been charged with crimes because of evidence, not because of who the president was when the investigations began. Instead of commenting on ongoing investigations and prosecutions, the job of the president of the United States is to defend the Constitution and protect the impartial administration of justice.”

Yet he’ll gladly vote for Kavanaugh.

ALL politicians, who commit crimes need to be indicted, charged and prosecuted. Notice I didn't say Republicans or Democrats...yet?
That said, there will come a day, when someone makes the wrong move and a special prosecutor will start looking under the hoods of democrats and making those same referrals. Then you will have the Manaforts and Cohens of the left. I believe there are plenty of them, but for some reason, they seem to fly above the law. After what has happened with the Mueller indictments, it is guaranteed there will be a hornet's nest gunning for the other side, probably sooner, than later. Trump is a POS, but it is also becoming evident that there was a "plan", or conspiracy, if you will, to bring this man down, as a contingency plan, if Clinton lost. The unlawful way the FISA warrant was obtained is coming to a head and I do believe there will be prosecutions. Bruce Ohr is prison bound and possibly his wife and Steele too. You can't go making shit up to destroy people and accept funding to do it, from a campaign, without consequences. I don't care who the actors are. Nobody, no matter what political party, should be able to get away with that shit. And then there is fucking Harry Reid. He knew what he was playing into and he knew it was wrong. Good time to retire. Anyway, all things come to light over time.

As for Sessions, he is a spineless coward and probably a democratic plant. The one good thing that might have happened, is pulling the wool over Trump's eyes with recommending Sessions. Nothing says fetal alcohol syndrome baby like Sessions' face.

1) There is zero evidence that the FISA warrant was obtained illegally.

2) The FISA warrant being part of a campaign to get Trump makes no sense as it was granted when Page no longer worked for Trump.

3) There is zero evidence that Steele or the Clinton campaign did anything illegal.

4) There is zero evidence anything in the dossier was fabricated.

5) The idea that of all people Jeff Sessions, one of the hardest right wing senators in history, is a Democratic plant is ridiculous nonsense.

If you have any evidence to the contrary for any of these things I would love to see it. What you really have here is Trump and his associates desperately flailing and throwing out wild accusations because the walls are closing in.

That’s just crazy talk, Sessions was loved by the entirety of the Republican Congress and has a conservative voting record. The only reason why he’s in the dog house now is because Trump hates him and the last guy who wasn’t afraid to speak out against Trump died.
Your party is eating it’s own.

What’s also insane is that the only thing this guy has done to be labeled a ‘Democratic plant’ is not interfere in a criminal investigation for the purpose of protecting the president and his associates from prosecution.

So in other words ‘have the absolute bare minimum of ethical standards of conduct’. He seems to be saying that no Republican would behave ethically if they were attorney general, which is pretty scary.

Of course that completely ignores facts like Republican presidencies in the last 50 years have a shit ton more indictments against people in the administration, including the president's.

Lol fly above the law. Whatever you have to tell yourself, I guess.

Trump - "The Law and Order President" - Trump proves yet again that he has no concept of the proper role of the Executive Branch in criminal cases... If only there were a group of investigators looking for evidence of corrupt intent. The Republican Party and a fair number of their supporters are willing to accept at least a little fascism to get what they want. The greatest danger to American democracy is the idea that there is no danger to American democracy.

Donald the "Don" Trump.

This wiseguy thinks he's King. "Don" Trump and his band of deplorable idiots have created a swamp that will take many years to drain.

Funny thing, I was talking to a former prosecutor from NY about Don Trump and the subject of the mafia came up. He said that Trump was a complete a buffoon, a true criminal mastermind/mafia head keeps their mouth shut.. Trumptard, on the other hand, spews his ridiculous criminal thoughts out loud to appease his low level audience. He will ultimately be responsible for his own demise.

Head an analyst this weekend say, Trump might not be found guilty of anything regarding Mueller investigation because Trump is too selfish and stupid to collude.

My first reaction was to any Republican speaking out against Trump is that they are not planning on running for re-election and therefore simply cowards who only open their mouth when it won't make a difference to them in the long run.
Did a quick search on Sasse and did come up on an article that hints that he's going to run for President in 2020.
So yup. The guess is he's only speaking up because he's positioning himself for a run against Trump in 2020.

Others have addressed this point by point.

This is seriously one of the most delusional posts I have ever seen. Made by a person who has no interest in the law, justice, integrity or morality. Their only interest is in the tribalism of their political party.

The whole world could burn for all they care. Their only interest is in getting the other side and defending their own side.

They'll believe countless fictions and fantasies to support their belief system. To the point of appearing totally removed from reality and completely irrational.

Funny thing is we both know Trump will start using dirt gained from intelligence briefings or order the FBI to find dirt on an opponent. This will come back and bite him. All matters regarding Trump come back to bite anyone who posts anything defending Trump.

The fact that Democrats are caught breaking the law far less just proves that they're better criminals. It's science.

I thought that might be the case but I don't think Trump can put one brick on top of another. Still, primitive creatures can on occasion act with what seems like purposeful sentience. It might be the case with Trump.

I recently posted something similar in jest and because it is mind-bogglingly nuts I didn’t have to use /s to convey the sarcasm. You need to seek mental help if you really believe this because it is bat shit crazy.
