    What was with the obsession with Obama’s birth certificate? Both sides love focusing on dumb **** instead of getting actual work done.

    No, it means that the motivation for this investigation is political. They are using the justice system to play politics.

    All of it boils down to being unable to accept the fact that the American electorate overwhelmingly reject progressivism.

    So you would have no problem having your house searched to find evidence that you might have committed a crime with no knowledge a crime had even been committed.
    Basically what is going on right now is your name is trump we don't like you so we are going to investigate everything about you in order find out if you committed a crime. It is a investigation looking for a crime

    No. They know a crime was committed by Cohen on Trump's behalf. They know Trump paid for it.
    Now they want to know if he lied on his tax returns about it.
    They call these things investigations. Trump gets a lot of them because of his shady dealings.

    Fundamentally unconstitutional and. If the Democrats don't think that Republicans aren't going to investigate the hell out of everything they do. They are mistaken.

    The Senate should start investigating Pelosi and Schiff. Doesn't matter what for just dig til you find something.

    Ohh and Biden is going down over Ukraine guilty of anything or not. That doesn't matter anymore. Democrats have made it so.

    Democrats also knew Kavanaugh tried to rape Ford.. actually diane flinstone knew it was fake but lied and tried to ruin him anyway..
    I pretty much just assume Democrats lie about the important stuff so if i don't believe them I'll probably be right more often than not.

    I used to think that was true but that was just that the more extreme tend to use internet forums.

    Majority of Americans support progressive policies such as higher minimum wage, free college

    Most Americans Are Liberal, Even If They Don’t Know It

    Twenty Years of Demographic, Geographic, and Attitudinal Changes Across the Country Herald a New Progressive Majority

    Sure economic situations and propaganda have caused a rise in the sleeping authoritarians in the US causing a temporary alliance of the Elite and the Mob but the majority of Americans as you would expect in an educated modern country are progressive. They will see America through the current time and the authoritarians will go back to the closet. ;)

    Look, I'm no friend to any political party,. I despise them all equally. But Presidential candidates releasing tax returns to prove they are not thieving scum and pay their fair share has been a thing for a very long time. By first saying he would do it when no longer under audit (which is nonsense, an audit has nothing to do with it) and then by backtracking and lying about what he said Trump has amplified the demand for his taxes all by himself. His big fat mouth is his own worst enemy.

    We now know a number of solid facts. Trump abused his charity financially, likely criminally. Trump lied about his wealth for many years, as around $450 million was illegally diverted to his personal use from his father's fortune via a shell company, evading tax laws. He's told massive lies and he will not shut up.

    The "obsession" is entirely with Trump. He cannot stop making a big personal "Boo Hoo they are picking on me" out of every thing he can think of. Of course investigators are digging, Trump's strange behavior and document transgressions made certain they would. They are looking for what the hell is he so worried about that he will not shut up already?

    And if they come back clean. Then what? What's next? When does someone go to prison for all this criminal harassment?

    Innocent until proven guilty. No one should ever have to prove themselves innocent. That goes against the very core values of this country. Democrats no longet believe in that concept..

    If he paid stormy to keep quiet. That in no way screws us.

    We all knew he did stormy and paid her to keep quite and people still voted for him.
    Just like they did Clinton.

    My point is. That the Democrats don't care one bit about guilt or innocence. They are out to get Trump no matter what.

    It's been said by many here that Trump's actions prove his intentions regarding Ukraine . Well. If that's true. The Democrats stand condemned already.
    They have set a horrible precedent.

    Yes, Bobby, because campaign finance violations, which are felonies, are OK!

    You understand that's one of the reasons Michael Cohen is in prison right now, right? That he's in prison for doing what Bonespurs told him to do, right?

    Utter nonsense.

    Releasing tax returns has never been an "Innocent until proven guilty" situation and it is not that now. It is a political statement not a criminal one.There is absolutely zero within the Constitution or Federal statutes that applies any such standard to a political practice like this. Releasing tax returns is normal political behavior that is expected by Americans with only a small minority saying otherwise.

    For Trump to promise it and then fail to pay up, then build lies around it and be unable to stop himself acting defensively about it, well it is very obvious he is concealing something very political.

    If the New York prosecutors manage to reveal his tax returns in the course of their investigation, well more power to them.

    Not interested in living in the country you are talking about. It's certainly not America.

    BS...I doubt the IRS maintains permanent offices at any large corporation and if they do I doubt even more that Trump's company was large enough to justify such.

    You've been living in that country since Nixon begrudgingly released his own tax returns. You didn't know that presidential candidates have been doing that for decades?

    Jesus.
