Yeah, starting at the top with Donnie himself.

It's worth noting here, that I think "high crimes or misdemeanors" is whatever the hell Congress wants it to be, whether lying about arranging illegal theft from a political party or lying about bjs with an intern. It is not a criminal trial, and there is no legal standard where Congress impeaches and then the Supreme Court strikes it because it doesn't qualify as "impeachable."

It's essentially about getting 1/2 the Hizzle and 2/3 of the Senate to think the President should go. It is a political - rather than legal - process. And I don't mean that as a pejorative. It's just what it is, and how it's defined by the Constitution.

Edit: And I don't think Mueller would try to ever call any particular act a "high crime" or "misdemeanor." He's likely going to dump a report on the lap of Congress, saying. "Here's what we know. Ball's in your court to decide what to do with it. I'm going on a six month vacation. Because, damn."

WaPo is now reporting that Trump has gone to “extraordinary lengths” to conceal the specifics of his conversations with Putin including physically taking the interpreter’s notes. If it turns out that he is actually working for the Russian government, what does that say about us that we let him stay in office for multiple years? Do we use firing squad or hanging for treason?


The Democrats are saying they are going to subpoena the notes from the translator.


The interesting thing is that Rex Tillerson was in one of the meetings with Trump so he could also testify as to what was said. Trump made an enemy out of Tillerson too so this may come back to bite him.


Keep your friends close and enemies closer...
