    How was Trump not transparent in his cooperation with the collusion delusion?

    You don't know that and neither does the dems, it's in court right now and we'll find out who's right but the wacko's couldn't wait and looked absolutely stupid. They called him names, compared him to fish, called his qualifications totaled being a secretary and on and on. Who does these crackpots think they are, they are nobody and have lost all sense of class and decorum that came with being in congress. What a joke and an absolute sh%& show they put on today, I don't know how any serious person could ever vote for any of those idiots, seriously. They're more childish than my 11 year old, I would whoop his butt if he ever acted like that.

    Yeah, he probably should have, instead of flat out admitting he lied on a TV interview from February

    SNIP
    “I have no obligation to be honest to the media because they’re just as dishonest as anybody else,” Lewandowski says in a revealing statement under questioning by Democratic counsel Barry Berke.
    ENDSNIP

    The value of having actual lawyers asking questions cannot be overestimated...

    Hmm... I wonder if that statement will make it into the NH Senate campaign???

    No it's not... that's for people who didn't show like McGahn... I don't know what Nadler will do about Lewandowski, but he threatened him with contempt at the end of the hearing, which we all know is essentially meaningless, although it won't look good on his resume for NH Senator....

    It's the President defending the Presidency. Want to know how to get the testimony of the Presidents personal advisers on policy. Start a formal impeachment. They have the Mueller report, no criminal charge, no claim of obstruction of justice. You have the Attorney General concurring, you have the Deputy Attorney General concurring, you have the Department of Justice Office of Legal Cousel concurring. They all knew all about Lowendowski and his note taking. Now charge of obstruction or justice knowing all the facts.

    What does Nadler have? It's all in the Mueller report and didn't hear a one of them ask a question that could not be answered by the Mueller report execept for their stupid questions like "You were the ENFORCER weren't you" and "Trump was REALLY MAD wasn't he". They had nothing today.

    Even Dick Durbin is saying they need to get over this impeachment thing.

    EXECUTIVE PRIVILEGE AND LAWYER CLIENT PRIVILEGE. Nadler has NO authority to demand that be breached for his witch hunt. Those are CONSTITUTIONAL recognized principles or our government and separation of powers between co-equal branch.

    It just amazes me how you guys want to trash the constitution and our form of government all over your hate of Trump and that you lost an election.

    Ok good go to court simple and your brilliant idiot leaders can call him back. I promise you it's a great look for voters watching how much more composed he his and smarter than those idiots questioning him today. At one point Nadler talked about impeaching him a private citizen lol, what a f'ing dumbass.

    You somehow got an advance on the IG report? Why do you think Nadler is refusing to call Horowitz to testify before his committee?

    Only when an administration has tried to cover up criminal wrongdoing. So not in a long time.

    But Steve N said it had happened a lot so I’m waiting for even a single example.

    Yep, Nadler can take it to court.

    Can you cite me a question that he refused to answer of any material value that was not already in the Mueller report? I listened to today and caught almost the entire thing and all I heard was the same questioning over and over of no material value and already in the report. All they wanted to do was bash him.

    Good one, EB. :salute:

    The idea that Lewandowski could actually be elected to the U.S. Senate makes less sense than Roy Moore.

    Dumbest thing I've ever heard he didn't fire him, he could've maybe even talked about it and explored how to with his team but HE NEVER DID WHEN ALL HE HAD TO DO IS CALL HIM AND SAY YOUR FIRED. On the other hand we've had your side say they were going to impeach him since before he was inaugurated and have yet to even have the votes in your own party. Simply the dumbest thing I've ever seen and you actually think the independents don't see your BS, wow Hilary by a landslide guaranteed.

    I disagree.

    To be held in contempt by the George Costanza of American politics and his fellow clowns will look great on Lewandowski's resume. I'm sure he'll wear it as a badge of honor, and rightfully so.

    Well I would be more concerned with administration officials like the head of the IRS refused to answer questions about abuse of taxpayers trying to express their political positions and promote but that's just me, how about you? Or how about a Secretary of State destroying government property to cover her arse?

    What difference does any of this make AT ALL. The persons who under the Constitution make such determinations said there was NO obstruction of justice found. There was no Russian collusion. No Conspiracy. Nadler has taken on the roll of a criminal investigator in the Justice department to see if he can find a crime. Justice was Not obstructed, there were no acts that obstructed justice. Trump can jump up and down and demand things be done and then his advisers advise him in whatever manner, no we better not do that and it is not done and therefore no obstruction of justice.

    And let's be clear and answer me this, Bill Clinton committed perjury, subornation of perjury and obstruction of justice and the IC brought forth 8 criminal charges against him to the House with the prima facie evidence to prove it and the Democrats were quite unequivocal in that not only the obstruction of justice but the perjury and subornation of perjury did not warrant impeachment let alone removal and that included Nadler. So answer me this, on what leg do they have to stand on here?

    I think they got what they wanted... his overall value was pretty limited to that single section in the report.

    He confirmed he was a private citizen
    He confirmed (eventually) the meeting on 6/19 was one-on-one
    He confirmed (eventually) he knew that Sessions was recused from the SC process
    He confirmed that what Mueller put in the report was basically the message Trump dictated...
    He confirmed that he wanted to deliver it to Sessions in person (not via phone or at official DOJ meeting)
    He confirmed that he considered a two week vacation with his kids was more important that doing what Trump asked (goes to motive)

    The fact that Corey says NOW he didn't recognize it as an illegal request is immaterial...

    I agree with that statement of his 100%. Heck, just look at how the NYT embarrassed themselves a few days ago with the Kavanaugh attack. That's honesty?

    Well, that's debatable but I'd love to see those 2 primary against each other for something somehow....

    But Roy Moore has actually been voted into jobs before so you are probably correct...

    Mueller DIDN’T say there was no OOJ.

    He left it up to Congress to investigate.

    Here we go again. Collusion collusion collusion, racism racism racism, obstruction obstruction obstruction now it's impeachment impeachment impeachment.

    We are in the greatest month of professional sports. The MLB postseason race is heating up, the SEC continues to show its dominance in college football, the NHL is ready to drop the puck in 2 weeks for opening night, NFL teams have to improvise as starting QB's are getting injured and the NBA is, well the NBA with too much free agency and players allowed to build championship teams.

    Today's hearing was comical. CNN should have sold PPV for this comedy show. Get ready for another couple months of the democratic controlled house getting nothing done but a witch hunt. But don't worry, opioid overdoses and the ever increasing murder on the streets in Batimore, Chicago and St Louis of minorities will continue.
