Trump lures GOP senators on impeachment with cold cash
Trump is directing his fund raising organization to help raise funds for Senators that he thinks will vote in his favor when the Senate starts their impeachment trial.
Bribing jurors, intimidating witnesses. Far far far worse than the Watergate cover up.
So now fundraising, which every President does, is now “bribery”.
You people are so ******* pathetic. But it is understandable, the impeachment “inquiry” isn’t going so well. Especially when your star witnesses testify that they have no knowledge of the President receiving a bribe or committing any crime.
See, he thinks he's gotten away with the Russian buddies helping him in 2016, and he thinks he's gonna skate on this Ukraine bribery, so now he's gonna do whatever he pleases with campaign finances. Escalation. Escalation. Escalation. It's not going to stop until he's outta there.
******* liar.

{1. Potential Coordination: Conspiracy and Collusion
As an initial matter, this Office evaluated potentially criminal conduct that involved the
collective action of multiple individuals not under the rubric of "collusion," but through the lens
of conspiracy law. In so doing, the Office recognized that the word "collud[e]" appears in the
Acting Attorney General's August 2, 2017 memorandum; it has frequently been invoked in public
reporting; and it is sometimes referenced in antitrust law, see, cg, Brooke Group 12. Brown
Williamson Tobacco Corp, 509 US. 209, 227 (1993). But collusion is not a specific offense or
theory of liability found in the US. Code; nor is it a term of art in federal criminal law. To the
contrary, even as defined in legal dictionaries, collusion is largely synonymous with conspiracy as
that crime is set forth in the general federal conspiracy statute, 18 U.S.C. 371. See Black ?3 Law
Dictionary 321. (10th ed. 2014) (collusion is agreement to defraud another or to do or obtain
something forbidden by law?); 1 Alexander Burrill, A Law Dictionary and Glossary 31 (1871)
(?An agreement between two or more persons to defraud another by the forms of law, or to employ
such forms as means of accomplishing some unlawful object?); 1 Bouvier's Law Dictionary 352}

The investigation did not establish any agreement among Campaign officials or between such officials and Russia-linked individuals to interfere with or obstruct a lawful function of a government agency during the campaign or transition period. And, as discussed in Volume 1, Section V.A, supra, the investigation did not identify evidence that any Campaign official or associate knowingly and intentionally participated in the conspiracy to defraud that the Office charged, namely, the active-measures conspiracy described in Volume 1, Section II, supra.
Accordingly, the Office did not charge any Campaign associate or other US. person with conspiracy to defraud the United States based on the Russia-related contacts described in Section IV above.
The investigation did not, however, yield evidence sufficient to sustain any charge that any individual affiliated with the Trump Campaign acted as an agent of a foreign principal within the meaning of FARA or, in terms of Section 951, subject to the direction or control of the government of Russia, or any official thereof. In particular, the Office did not find evidence likely to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that Campaign officials such as Paul Manafott, George Papadopoulos, and Carter Page acted as agents of the Russian government or at its direction, control, or request during the relevant time period.1232}
