Hey I'm all for Trump getting impeached, but in my opinion this won't get him impeached. I'm not thread shitting by pointing out you need far more then his son's statement to do anything to him.

Because it's basically a meme at this point. There's a line between 'nothing will happen' and 'This is the end of Trump'.
It's just a shame there's nothing but this one story about Trump and Russia. Oh well.

Russia probably offered the pee pee tape to the DNC for favors, but the DNC declined.
So, they then turned to Trump and offered him the Podesta emails.
The rest is history.

Dude on the right is Rob Goldstone. He is the person who set up the meeting.

Nothing will come of this
The Watergate break in happened during Nixon's run for a second term. CREEP stood for "Committee to RE-Elect the President"
until Mueller gives the signal

Here's my prediction of the Republican argument against this.

Yea, but Watergate didn't happen until his second Presidential campaign.
Watergate break in happened in 1972.
Nixon was already in office for 4 years.
He did the Watergate shit in 1972 and then resigned in 1974.
So, it took about 2 years to get rid of him.
This stuff with Trump is already being blown wide open. The only thing saving Trump's ass right now is a GoP majority.
I mean, if this guys asks you to take a meeting...
You take the fucking meeting.

And we're on overdrive mode.
He's speedrunning Watergate over here in addition to being a fraction of the competence of Nixon.

This is like stupid watergate plus stupid Tom Clancey plot.
"what now the liberals trust the trump family?"
But his claim is that he met with the lawyer under the guise that she had some information that the Clintons were working with the Russians and then soon realized he was being duped.
While an important story, there's no evidence of collusion here.

They are really really fucking bad at this covering up thing aren't they.
The intent is pretty important tho.

The story doesn't claim to be evidence of collusion? People are just reading between the lines in this thread.

That's not what you did though.
You know, the later seasons of house cards I was starting to think "you know, this is all getting too ridiculous, this is some kind of cartoon"
Then the 2016 election came along and turns out real life is even more of an absurd fucking joke.

They were trying to grab your prize. They work for the mercenary. The masked man.
The best description I've heard is still the Trump administration is the characters of Veep in the plot of House of Cards.

For years, even as a "civilian," I listened as Republicans pushed the Repeal and Replace of ObamaCare. Now they finally have their chance!
Lookie what Jr retweeted. I'm dying here lol, especially the air quotes on civilian.

Much worse has been said and done and nothing has happened. This would be same. I will keep watch though.

Ben Wittes points out Trump held a big donor party that same day in Trump tower. Someone else in the tweet chain also shows Goldstone checking into Trump Tower for a meeting that day, too.
I can't wait to read the history books when they talk about this time period.
"Donald Trump was elected president and then nothing happened until the very instant he was removed from office. Nothing. Seriously, not one thing happened."
It seems every Trump article on GAF has this response. How many smoking guns we up to now?

That is his claim, but it doesn't mean he is telling the truth. Like one person posted a few weeks later DNC emails was leaked.
Except House of Cards still effuses an agreed upon level of decorum and optics from the high office by its 'public citizens'. Much of the calculated planning and maneuvering comes at the expense of an implicit contract the American public carries on the show, in which they will not stand for illegality, abuse, or illicit acts(haven't seen new season yet though).
Optics and PR remain uncompromising creating much of the drama. Shameful how far our society has fallen when decency, trust, and dignity is all but lost on such a large percentage. The fiction is operating at a higher level.
