Most of mine comes from word of mouth. Just me and the guys sitting around playing checkers and drinking organic coffee at the Yadkinville General Store.

But what can they get him with once he's out of office? Muller's investigation is supposedly going to rap up this year. That means he will know what kind of charges he might be facing. If it looks bad, then he can go ahead and resign his last day in office and Pence can pardon him. If he wins in 2020, then the same thing can happen at the end of his second term assuming the statute of limitations hasn't passed. The only possible issue is any state charges. The man isn't going to jail. I'd be more than happy to bet anyone on that.
What does that mean? Are you saying the indictments have no merit?
I get mine from fb memes. I esp like the one that says the dems are keeping the borders open and allowing terrorists to walk into the US to receive welfare instead of providing health care to veterans. Seems legit.
Yeah - if Nixon didn't go to jail when there were hours upon hours of tape describing how he was breaking the law then no President will.
Doesn’t matter. If a member of congress wants to launch an investigation, they can. The SDNY can look at him again. They can make his life hell. There are a lot of charges that can’t be brought to a sitting president. Those same charges can be brought to a private citizen. How many Benghazi investigations did we have. If they want to make Trump’s life misery, they can.
I'm saying that these indictments could be filed against just about anyone who has spoken with the FBI. There is always something they can bust you on. Always.
Dude, Nixon resigned because he really had no other choice. He was going to go through an impeachment process that would have definitely led to his removal so he tried to save a little face.
...he was also pretty freaking polarizing.
Nixon knew how to go away. Trump does not. I am not saying anything will happen, but I would be nervous if I were Trump. He has disrupted and pissed off a lot of powerful people on both sides of the aisle.
How many crimes was she charged with? How about the email investigations? How many crimes was she charged with?
There is a big difference between making someone's life miserable and going to jail. Do you want to make that bet?
You are missing my point.
Trump has made a lot of enemies in DC. Trump is a billionaire. His family is rich. If you dig deep enough, you can find crimes. I am absolutely saying it would be a witch hunt. I am not condoning it. I am not predicting it. I am saying it is a possibility. If I were in his shoes, I would tread lightly.
Again, I am not making a prediction. I am discussing a possibility.
Ha - I was in Yadkinville after Xmas. And by "in" I mean driving on 421 to Raleigh.

Nancy is awful. Dems shit the bed when they put her back in power.
Again, I’m not predicting what he will do. I’m not predicting what will happen. I’m just pointing out a possible outcome. It’s just as likely that he mends fences with certain power brokers and slips away.
Yes, I like AOC as well. And I agree on the similarity to Trump (in terms of entertainment value, not policy). She upsets the apple cart on both sides, and is pissing people off, which is awesome. I don't much like her policies (like the 70% tax), but I think she's unlikely to get support for most of them so will be pretty harmless, and the rest of what she does will be worth it.
Of course, she could get support that I don't foresee and end up turning the country socialist, but hey - I'm a gambling man, so I'll roll the dice.
This is why he's a champion of the people. Whether he did it on purpose, or is just too dumb to realize, doesn't really matter.
Ya, that's what I mean. Whether he's ok with disrupting/pissing off powerful people on both sides of the aisle causing his own downfall, or is too prideful to know it could happen doesn't matter.
I’ll be curious to see how this all plays out. Anyone telling you what’s going to happen is FOS. We’ve never seen anything quite like this.
They weren't jaywalking. Your average American doesn't get indicted for bank fraud, conspiracy, and obstruction of justice. My favorite, though, is lying to the FBI. Really. How effing stupid do you have to be to lie to the FBI?
Please tell me you know that isn’t actually socialism...
Kinda hard to tax people when there is no private ownership of capital.
Said it before and i’ll say it again. If trump stayed the eff off twitter, showed a modicum of humility about his gaffes and had someone truth proof his speeeches (wtf writes these things?) and used....yes....a teleprompter to keep him from going off topic and saying idiotic shit he would have twice the support and be able to get more accomplished. His biggest enemy is HIMSELF. Proof? More americans supported the wall before trump became pres by a wide margin. Like 30pts! Just stfu dude!!!!!
Agreed. If someone could just change his twitter password, his presidency would be going a lot better.
His arrogance and obvious horrible judgement in who he associates with will catch up to him. But like @UNC71-00 says he has the resources to make sure he holds em off long enough to die thinking he won.
Thats what gets them! Many times the punishment for lying to the fbi is worse than the offense they lie about!
Same for Obama.
Same for Bush.
Same for Clinton.
Politics is my team vs your team.
I completely agree and hate it.
That said, I'd argue the same is true for you for you if a lib politician cured cancer.
Were they even invited? Seems like it would be hard to skip something if you didn't have an invitation.

McConnell spent many years blocking pretty much everything th Obama admin wanted. It’s too soon to know with Trump because he’s had both houses until a few weeks ago. Still has congress. The media is deeply entrenched against Trump and I’ve never seen anything like it. But he brought a lot of that on himself. Even guys like Bush, who stay out of the public, have told Trump to STFU.
