The End of Trump

Robert Reich: The End of Trump


The law is reasonably clear. If Trump removed Comey to avoid being investigated, that’s an impeachable offense.

The question is no longer whether there are grounds to impeach Donald Trump. It is when enough Republicans will put their loyalty to America ahead of their loyalty to their party.
Trump’s statements last week about his firing of former FBI director James Comey provide ample evidence that Trump engaged in an obstruction of justice – a major charge in impeachment proceedings brought against Richard M. Nixon and Bill Clinton.
It’s worth recalling that the illegality underlying Nixon’s impeachment was a burglary at the Watergate complex, while the illegality underlying Clinton’s was lying to a grand jury about sex with an intern in the White House.
Trump’s obstruction is potentially far more serious. It involves an investigation about whether Trump or his aides colluded with Russia in rigging a presidential election – the most direct assault on American democracy in history.
Last Thursday, in an interview with NBC News’s Lester Holt about his firing of Comey, Trump said: “I was going to fire regardless of recommendation.” Trump also said that he had pressed Comey during a private dinner to tell him if he was under investigation.
Trump conceded that the ongoing investigation into Russian influence on the 2016 election, which includes a probe into the possibility that Moscow was coordinating with the Trump campaign, was one of the factors Trump considered before firing Comey.

How about Comey? Ya! that's the ticket! firing Comey was like firing Archibald Cox,except it wasn't....

I mean, I think they might figure out something eventually. I doubt even the GOP wants this circus for 4 years.

But "end of Trump" is a catchphrase that really took hold during the campaign & never came to fruition. I'll believe that when I see it.

Actually... and not to nitpick, but the alleged crime that got Clinton impeached was being misleading during a civil deposition.

It was during the Paula Jones deposition when he said "There IS no relationship with Ms. Lewinski".

Which led to the now famous line... "It depends on what the definition of 'IS' is".

Your socialist State Media masters have declared "The End of Trump" over a thousand times ... starting from the day he declared that Mexico is not sending us their best

Old narrative: we underestimated Trump.

New narrative: we WAY overestimated the intelligence of millions of Americans.

Guess what? Trump can't survive this. This is a bridge too far even for Republicans who have shamelessly swallowed shit to protect their careers.

Tweets never lie, do they?
