MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell: ‘Donald Trump Will Be, Must Be Impeached’

[signalmankenneth]

“Michael Cohen is facing substantial prison time for those same crimes. And Donald Trump is facing, what?”

MSNBC anchor Lawrence O’Donnell said Friday that President Donald Trump “will be, must be impeached because of the crimes prosecutors say he committed” in the case of his former personal attorney, Michael Cohen.

“The Last Word” host noted that “nothing in the Constitution” says a president cannot be indicted, charged with a crime or put on trial.

“And so the only conceivable reason why Donald Trump has not been indicted as a co-conspirator in the Cohen case is that he won the presidential election, that he conspired with Michael Cohen to illegally affect,” he explained.

O’Donnell suggested that had Trump lost the 2016 presidential election to Democratic rival Hillary Clinton, then “he would be facing exactly the same consequences as Michael Cohen.”

hat he conspired with Michael Cohen to illegally affect,” he explained.

it would have to be Trump directing payments. Trump would have to direct it specifically from a business account or something (not clear yet) that would make a campaign payment.

and Trump can say he's paid off women before to make them go away -in which case it was not about paying off
to "effect election results"

I don’t think at this point that the American people support that. They want their representatives to do other things. I do hope the Republicans find their moral majority and pressure him to resign. Maybe, they can work a deal, like leniency for his children. It’s what helped flip Flynn, but he cared about his son.

MSNBC is following CNN's lead and becoming a 24 hour impeachment channel. Thankfully there are now other news options than just stations run by liberals.

"What is patriotism? Let us begin with what patriotism is not. It is not patriotic to dodge the draft and to mock war heroes and their families. It is not patriotic to discriminate against active-duty members of the armed forces in one's companies, or to campaign to keep disabled veterans away from one's property. It is not patriotic to compare one's search for sexual partners in New York with the military service in Vietnam that one has dodged. It is not patriotic to avoid paying taxes, especially when American working families do pay. It is not patriotic to ask those working, taxpaying American families to finance one's own presidential campaign, and then to spend their contributions in one's own companies. It is not patriotic to admire foreign dictators. It is not patriotic to cultivate a relationship with Muammar Gaddafi; or to say that Bashar al-Assad and Vladimir Putin are superior leaders. It is not patriotic to call upon Russia to intervene in an American presidential election. It is not patriotic to cite Russian propaganda at rallies."

Enough Rep congressmen will absolutely HAVE to join the Dems for impeachment, including enough senators to convict

Mueller has some treason charges that will rock the doubters bigtime

[Blackwater Lunchbreak]

...Trumped up charges....

[Phantasmal]

...Trumped up charges....

I don’t know, that’s what they said about Manafort, turns out the lady who wanted him to be innocent on his jury, had to convict him because of so much evidence. I think this will be the case in everything Mueller and his team present to the courts. SDNY also prosecutes a lot is bad guys, I’m sure they have evidence as well.

...Trumped up charges....

more like Trump upped the charges

The only way this would be illegal, is if campaign funds were used directly, at Trump's direction. NDAs are not illegal in and of themselves.
