(WaPo) Trump asked Coats & Rogers to intervene in Comey's investigation; refused

Trump is going to go down in history as our generations Nixon, except unapologetically racist, selfish and about 100* worse in hindsight.
For all the awful, evil shit Nixon did and said, he at least did stuff like open relations with China and form the EPA.

Trump appointed a Supreme Court judge and.....

I know people keep saying that he's unlikely that he gets impeached because of a republican controlled Congress, but won't it look terrible on them for future elections if they don't do anything?
People in this country have short memories when it comes to politics.

I mean, yeah, it'll look terrible to a large percent of the population and it won't go down well in history, but in the near-term they're gonna be more worried about not pissing off Trump's fanbase. In '18 we could see some Republicans trying to balance a situation where rejecting Trump would get them primaried by a Trumpist, but supporting Trump will cause them to lose in the general election.
 
It was Schindler

http://observer.com/2017/05/mike-rogers-nsa-chief-admits-trump-colluded-with-russia/

11 days ago, everyone waived it off because reasons and it was modlocked twice.

Everyone is sceptical bevause they think the guy is a loon, but has anyone actually did the hits vs misses with this guy, especially about Russia? I mean there was some documented stuff coming out about Mench, and he gets lumped in because they RT each other

Schindler's report makes a much bolder claim. They aren't the same thing.

In '18 (assuming Trump is still around) we could see some Republicans trying to balance a situation where rejecting Trump would get them primaried by a Trumpist, but supporting Trump will cause them to lose in the general election.

His base is shrinking by the day. We've seen generic dems are up big in polling these days and eventually it will become self preservation that drives republicans against the president.
 
He's wrong all the time, and sent a dic pic to a twitter follower in the past while being married.

...so with anything Taylor/Mensch/Schindler ignore it unless a mainstream source runs with.

Private meetings and loyalty tests... Trump can't do the simplest shit right.


People keep on saying that, no one posts where he is wrong all the time about Russia.

Rogers stonewalling when questioned about this. Won't deny nor confirm, but also won't talk about discussions between him and Trump.

Coats also stonewalls and wont answer in public setting.

God, democrats are such useless losers. Just complete doormats. Utter garbage.

Please provide context for this statement, good sir. I missed the part of the article where the democrats convinced the president to commit treason and then obstruct the investigation?

Rubio going in hard on this and holy shit people giving testimony are uncomfortable.

Coats and Rogers falling back to their previous stances on this topic and refusing to answer.

Why even stonewall like this?

People making questioning are growing frustrated with Coats and his "Not appropriate for public to know about my discussion with President" stance.

At least Rosenstein and McCabe have some cover for not answering, Mueller.
Marco Rubio: Have you ever been asked to influence an ongoing investigation?

Dan Coats: ”I'm not prepared to answer your question today."

Edit: Angus King is fucking pissed off at these witnesses

Clothed, sober, cooperative
For real

Their refusal to answer questions is bizarre though


Oddly enough Rubio turned it back into a clear loss and Coats fucked up by essentially saying on the record that being requested to kill an investigation by the president is neither pressure nor obstruction of justice. Which is not going to pass any legal sniff test.
