@revelette1,
They don't think the rules apply to them.

All of that aside, there’s another issue. We learned from NBC in March that Cohen had finalized the payment to Daniels from his Trump Organization email address. In other words, he used corporate resources to engineer a contribution to Trump’s campaign — violating a prohibition against corporations “facilitating the making of contributions to candidates or political committees.”

Later, in an interview with The Washington Post, Giuliani said the repayments to Cohen mostly took place in 2017, though he allowed that there could have been a payment in 2018..


So once again we catch Trump in a bold face lie to the American people when he denied knowledge of the payments. Unless of course reasonable people buy into Trump paid a reimbursement to Cohen to pay for incidental expenditures. So was Trump merely late for a bill and Giuliani thought it important enough to go on Fox news and say Trump paid Cohen reimbursement? I haven't heard a word from republicans, I don't twitter, nor watch Fox or other conservative news, but what are they saying about all this?

@revelette1,
Lately I've been cross-checking stories from other sources with foxnews. This one is interesting as it seems (at least in the news group) that fox is having a little trouble with the #45/Giuliani stories - they don't quite line up with each - so they're straight out reporting the varying stories - and noting some of the resulting questions.

The only Americans he lied to are the ones who give a **** about his womanizing. That is not too many of his base. It is no more than an example of a little thing getting major coverage. That lie neither threatens national security or his behavior as president.

The MSM's negative press has worn out its welcome, and they refuse to admit it.

Reporters are the ones who are being fed total BS by Trump, and his press staff.

The only people fed BS are the people who trust those reporters. Tell me when he lies about something that effects world peace, or national security, unemployment, or immigration. If it is about anything else it is nothing, and name a politician does not lie.

@coldjoint,
Ive listened to the reporters ask the questions and Sarah's hammy handed answers.(shes good but it appears that even she is kept in the dark) Today, Neil Cavuto spoke up so disgustedly about how "Trumps swamp is of his own creation"

Seems Trump's losing FOX a bit. Im leaving for a bit of whaling tomorrow and Ill be able to post only small notes but We will be listening to see whether Neil has started anything among Trump asslickers or coal miners

The swamp is not Trumps. It was there long before he got there. If he is using the creatures to advance his agenda, so be it. Cavuto is an entitled to his opinion.

Did you know he(Cavuto) also praises the results of Trumps economic policies and his handling of NK?

So in essence, no matter how guilty Trump is in anything, unless congress see fit to file for impeachment, impeach him, then the senate removes Trump from office, we are stuck with a lying crooked cheat for a President.

Yes and no. The ruling that a sitting president cannot be impeached or indicted came not from any law, not from the Constitution, not from the Supreme Court or any court, but an internal office of the Justice Department. In other words, the ruling amounts to the Justice Department's lawyers saying, "If we try to prosecute or indict a sitting president, we think the Supreme Court might shoot this down, so let's not have our Justice Department even bother to try this". But that ruling was made decades ago, the Justice Department has different lawyers now who might decide differently. For instance, they might decide that in the Nixon and Clinton cases, national security was not involved, while in the Trump-Russia case, it is. Or they might decide to reverse the ruling for some other reason. The Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel is not a court, it's just an office there to decide how the Justice Department should best try to prosecute their cases.

So as long as the Justice Department decides to stick with its own internal directive, the Justice Department will not try to prosecute or indict the president. But the Justice Department is free to change their mind on this and go ahead. Whether the Supreme Court will allow them to prosecute or indict Trump is anybody's guess.

@Blickers,
Considering there is significant illegal activity, and not by Trumps side, that is not being prosecuted, but hopefully will be, shows contempt for the laws they were supposed to enforce without a political bent.

Remember these accusers were never elected to one thing. What makes people think they have the credentials, or for that matter credible witnesses, to make such decisions about that enforcement?

@coldjoint,
You sound like the Evangelicals who have totally given absolution to all of Plumps trangressions because he was the last man standing and they hated Hillary. I wonder what theyll do with a deeply religious Democrat who is pro life??
All politics is hypocrisy. Weve got a president who is a mobbed up, lying (probable) felon and guys like you are blinded by his shiny bits of foil.

Why do you say things that are not true?

That is a hypothetical question, there is no such animal. And if there was he or she would never be nominated by the now progressive party.

Conservatives are used to liberals falsely accusing us of being Nazis. They usually resort to it when they realize that falsely accusing us of racism isn't getting them anywhere.

You are a Nazi, you want to ban opposition parties. That's what Nazis do.

@oralloy,
I'm giving specific reasons as to why you're a Nazi. You also want to ban certain religions, not to mention your genocidal fantasies. You hate freedom, you have lickspittle servility towards the strong man, and like most bigots you're quite dim witted.

Because you lack the wherewithal to argue against any points made you resort to Gunga's simplistic bumpersticker response.

Instead of reproducing others thoughts why not get the person who does your thinking for you to post. They might at least have a chance of not coming across as a complete moron.

I don't throw the term Nazi around lightly, only at actual Nazis. I disagree with lots of people on A2K, but the only Nazis are you, Coldjoint and Gungasnake.
