oh my, Trump can freak out and run like a chicken, but he can't hide........constitutional crisis time, wow


On 14 February, the New York Times reported that advisors and associates of Donald Trump may have been in direct and continuous contact with officers of the Russian intelligence agency, the FSB, during a tumultuous election campaign in which the American democracy itself was hacked. A major party – now in opposition – was the victim of an unprecedented cyber attack.

According to the Times, intercepted telephone calls and phone records indicated to American counter-intelligence officers direct contact with the Russians.

The stakes are high. Most Democrats and more than a few Republicans believe this investigation could unearth details that could plunge the nation into a political and constitutional crisis not seen since the secession of the South in 1860 and 1861.

The Trump administration has repeatedly denied the characterization and defended the campaign’s conduct. However, its denials have always been couched in the most legalistic terms and each falls apart with every new revelation. It doesn’t help that Trump himself calls the allegations “fake news” then validates the reporting by attacking the leaks – suggesting that they are true.

Trump can't hide.

Pence is trying on his first presidential address in front of his mirror.

I don't envy Pence either way

even if he succeeds Trump after the imprisonment, his agenda is hard core right wing and will not go unnoticed by the Indivisibles

The GOP screwed the pooch bigtime with all their teabagger nonsense

Another word from the tinfoil hat brigade.

The election wasn't "hacked." There was no illegal contact between the Trump campaign and ANYONE IN RUSSIA.

How soon we forget that the consensus among EVERYBODY IN THE COUNTRY AND WORLD was that Trump was going to lose this election. Christ, he was even laying the groundwork for a political organization that was going to "keep the faith alive," (in exchange for a small monthly fee, of course), assuming that he was going to lose the election.

Consider how an insidious force from outside the country might try to queer an election: assassinate a candidate; spread false and malicious stories about a candidate; compromise the electronic voting system; surreptitiously provide large amounts of campaign funding.

NONE OF THIS HAPPENED! What did happen is that - assuming the worst - one or more Russian operatives facilitated the release of TRUTHFUL INFORMATION ABOUT MS. CLINTON AND HER CAMPAIGN.

No investigation is going to expose anything more than we already know.
