Trump is acting even more guilty than Nixon

Trump jr got Oppo research from a Russian agent. No Crime. Just like when Hillary and DNC got oppo research from Steele (foreign agent.).

So the idea he is Nixon is funny...

Don Jr could get a process crime, just as contempt of congress.

Only one other president has ever acted this desperate
President Trump is acting with a desperation I’ve seen only once before in Washington: 45 years ago when President Richard M. Nixon ordered the firing of special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox. Nixon was fixated on ending the Watergate investigation, just as Trump*wants to shut down the Mueller investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
A lesson for the president from history: It turned out badly for Nixon. Not only could he not derail the investigation, but also, 10 months later, he was forced to resign the presidency.
In fact, in some ways, Trump is conducting himself more frantically than Nixon, all the while protesting his innocence. Nixon fought to the end because he knew that what was on the tape recordings that the prosecutor wanted would incriminate him. We don’t know what Trump is hiding, if anything. But if he is innocent of any wrongdoing, why not let Robert S. Mueller III do his job and prove it?
In October 1973, Nixon ordered Attorney General Elliot Richardson to fire Cox. Richardson refused and resigned. As deputy attorney general and next in line, I was ordered by the president to fire Cox; I also refused and resigned. Cox was finally fired by Solicitor General Robert H. Bork. The result is what came to be known as the Saturday Night Massacre.
Neither Richardson nor I saw any justifiable reason for Cox’s dismissal. When it became clear that Cox would not give up his pursuit of the Oval Office tapes, Nixon took the only action he could to protect himself: He tried to get rid of the man charged with investigating him.
Nixon was desperate. His goal was to shut down the Watergate investigation by ridding himself of Cox. Instead, Nixon got Leon Jaworski, the highly respected former president of the American Bar Association. Nine months later, the Supreme Court handed down a unanimous decision forcing Nixon to release the tapes that proved his guilt. Shortly thereafter, the president resigned.
Not only was that Saturday night the beginning of the end of the Nixon presidency, but it also accelerated the growing wave of political cynicism and distrust in our government we are still living with today. One manifestation of that legacy: a president who will never admit he uttered a falsehood and a Congress too often pursuing only a partisan version of the truth.
Trump might attempt to shut down the Mueller investigation, but if he fires the special counsel, he could face the same result Nixon faced. He would look like a president with something to hide. He would unleash forces bigger than one man, because Americans believe no one is above the law, not even the president.
Nixon was brought down by his disrespect for the rule of law. The hundreds of letters I received after my refusal to fire Cox enshrined this thought in my head for the rest of my life.
It’s hard to believe that, 45 years later, we may be in store for another damaging attack on the foundations of our democracy. Yet the cynical conduct of this president, his lawyers and a handful of congressional Republicans is frightening to me and should be to every citizen of this country. We are not playing just another Washington political game; there is much more at stake.
The vehemence and irresponsibility of the rhetoric attacking the Mueller investigation tear at the very structure of our governance. Men who have sworn to use and protect our institutions of justice are steadily weakening them. Should the president finally decide to fire Mueller and put in place someone who will do his bidding, the country could be thrown into a political crisis that would scar our democracy and further erode the trust of our people in our governmental institutions.
We need leaders who tell the truth. This is not now happening. Mueller is living up to his superior reputation as a model public servant. His is a search for the truth; we should not complicate his job. Support him, and when he has finished his work, listen to what he has found.
What Mueller unearths will guide our next steps and will strengthen our trust in our institutions — including the one we are now using to find the truth. I hope the president at last studies the lessons of a history I lived — and that he heeds its warning.

Nothing dumber than trying to make this farce look like Watergate. Watergate was a huge hubaloo over nothing as well. But alas, when it comes to the Fascism of liberalism, no affair is too small to turn into an impeachment effort.

Lame, pathetic, anti-American and childish. That pretty much describes the Democratic Party of the Jackass these days.

Nothing else you have to say on any topic is relevant after you went to dig up the dead corpse of Richard Nixon just to shove his embalmed penis down your throat with that dumb ass comment

In other words he went eagerly to a nation antagonistic toward the United States seeking help in defeating a rival candidate in an American election. So there guy was the Russian candidate versus the American candidate

Somehow I don't think the Founding Fathers had that in mind

Ha! Good response. TD's comment "Watergate was a huge hubaloo over nothing as well" tells you all you need to know about how far he bends over for the right.
He's a right wing minion. Maybe even a Russian troll. I'm guessing the latter.
And check out how he attempted to spell "hullabaloo". He must've gone to the Trump school of spelling.

Did Clinton's campaign manger, plus two other family members with high standings in the campaign, meet secretly with any Russian agents looking to obtain information on Trump? And then get caught in numerous lies regarding that meeting?
 
I thought it was the first thing a lawyer told their clients - don't act guilty.

Trump has been relentlessly lying his ass off, making threats to shut down the investigation, fire Mueller, suggesting he can pardon himself, and throwing people under the bus - and collectively it does not seem to comport with the behavior one would expect from an innocent person.

you are correct. It is time to impeach Clinton.

But that would mean the Dossier was criminally obtained then used against Trump; what effect might that have on the Mullet investigation?

Mullet might want to rethink broadly interpreting statutes to snare Trump in Meeting Gate.

actually it does comport to an innocent person's behavior.. that "I didn't do it".
These asshats want Trump to just accept Mueller's yoke without protestation

An innocent person wouldn't continually lie about the thing they are claiming to be innocent of.

Trump lied about his knowledge of the June Trump Tower meeting with Russia, then lied about the reasons for that meeting.

Innocent people don't lie.

I don't think the other Republicans have the gravitos to bring Trump in line. I predict Muller will present damning evidence, the Republicans will pretend it is nothing, change the definition of words, and we will get 4 more years of Trump.

If and when Trump fires Mueller, trump sycophants will still continue sucking trump pene...

Trump already told you about how depraved he knew you were when he said he can kill someone and not lose support -- so obstruction and conspiracy is nothing to a trump sycophant

Meanwhile as much as Trump supporters claim collusion isn't a crime, they also want Clinton executed for collusion -- you cultists are pathetic.

Nope. He is not "protesting".

He is lying his ass off relentlessly, engaging in deception, throwing people under the bus, and making dubious constitutional arguments about pardoning himself and anyone who might testify against him.

That is so far off your characterization of "Protesting", I wonder if you yourself are willing to lie on behalf of your Orange Hero.

right. hyperbole of a campaign means Trump is "depraved" and is likely to fire Mueller. :rolleyes:
you digest way too much fake news.

I have yet to see any evidence of a conspiracy - any at all - with Putin or da Russians
But keep your hopes up! Mueller's fishing expedition can go anywhere
 
Nixon resigned.

Trump went to our enemy for help.

We have Russo-fascist supporting Americans on this Board, which, in time, will require a reckoning for them.

The "deception" is the Trump tower explanation?
Maybe it's because he wants to protect his kid? ( a normal response).

Considering the FBI Investigation was bogus ( unless you believe Steele) and Mueller's hyper-partisan
attack dogs have been loosed on Trump since EVEN BEFORE THE ELECTION - it's a small miracle he hasn't fired Sessions/Rosenstein and Mueller
