Official LRC President Donald J Trump Thread

the cohen story is the now the lead on breitbart

Breitbart is not the crazed bed of racism/nationalism that people think it is.

Until the evidence is actually released this all just talk. And many will still chime in with “well there’s still no collusion!!!”.

A crime is a crime.

So if there is enough corroborating evidence, that's a slam dunk case for subornation of perjury.

It's definitely an impeachable offense, but we still need to see how many senate Republicans would be willing to go along.

I keep watching the RCP average approval poll. I think when his numbers come down a bit for Republican voters, then we will see more GOP Senators publicly being more critical. Then it will be like a feedback loop driving his support further down which would make more GOP lawmakers publicly turn.

This past week with Manafort's collusion by giving the Russians the campaign polling data, and especially now with Trump directing Cohen to set up the Russia business deal and directing Cohen to lie about it, is big. I think we will start to see some movement even before the Mueller report comes out.

Has this story been corroborated?

The author of the Buzzfeed story on Trump telling Cohen to lie to Congress, Anthony Cormier, went on CNN on this morning and admitted he had not seen the evidence underlying the report. But he ran with it anyway.

You libs keep getting suckered with these Russian collusion fairy tales.

Mueller never

Clownpole forever

This guy? This is the guy you want to say is a bad reporter?

"Anthony Cormier is an investigative reporter for BuzzFeed News and is based in New York. While working for the Tampa Bay Times, Cormier won the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Investigative Reporting."

Buzzfeed will publish literally anything- even if they have no idea whether their story is true.

Doh!!!!

Bahahahahaha

Tell us more about this Hillary person.

Well played, sir.

With this news out Congress should investigate it to confirm or deny it to clear Trump's name or get him if he's guilty, right?

It's not wild speculation to suggest a man that was directed to make payoffs would be directed to lie to Congress.

has to be a crime for trump to be trying to intimidate Cohen's family before Cohen testifies.

Trump is a beyond sick, criminal, amoral individual. Individual 1.

This is the second time he's tried to intimidate a federal witness.

This guy has a 90% approval rating among repubs - keep that in mind when the media goes all 'both sides'

The level of deceit and corruption is greater than anything we could have imagined. There just is no President or major candidate who is even close to this level...and we don't even know everything yet.

President Nixon is somewhere smiling as he is no longer the worst ever.

In terms of corruption? Warren Harding, possibly Ulysses S Grant. And of course let's not forget ol' W.

In terms of deceit? Well discounting lying for national security reasons, yeah probably Trump. Except it's not really deceit so much as it is delusion and narcissism

Yes...Trump "Trumps" all other Presidents. And it is deceit along with delusion and narcissism.

The Trump Presidency will go down as the biggest political scandal in the history of the United States. I look forward to when we are through all this and can call it history.

Corruption and foreign influence affecting our sovereignty. It is treasonous. He was selling out our country for his own personal gain.

Everyday there is more evidence showing what he did, what his campaign did, what he knew, what he directed others to do. His denials about dealings with Russia during the campaign and during his Presidency have been proven to be lies. Everyone knew he was lying and now there is proof of the lies.

You are correct! I hope you and other reasonable Republicans are able to re-build a destroyed Republican Party as we really do need opposing conservative voices. Just have to get rid of all the racism and other craziness. If a new Republican Party can stick to conservative fiscal policy and free trade, that would be good.

I didn't understand this tweet. Who is Trump threatening?

Well, that makes it worse for him. He screwed up here, big time. Whatever integrity he had has been severely compromised for a fake story.

So if Mueller does have emails showing trump ordered Cohen to lie, does that turn 20 GOP senators?

If this story is true, then we would have campaign finance felonies, suborned purjury felonies and and obstruction felonies. Plus a solid ton of other things.

Is THAT enough for GOP senators to grow a spine? Multiple felonies?

Ben Sasse, Mitt Romney, Susan Collins, Rubio? You guys Americans or Republicans?

We know the Red Hats aren't responsible Americans, but you guys? You want to step up here and do your jobs?

agip, it is going to get even worse from here. This has been crystal clear to me for over a year now which is why I have said "Mueller is coming. The clown is done." for so long. Trump is just a complete epic criminal. He doesn't know how to operate in a way that isn't criminal.

The answer to your questions is that they will HAVE to do it. The totality of the information will be so bad that they will not have a choice. Might be some nutso supporters that hang on forever (Jim Jordan, Matt Gaetz and a few others), but the Senate will have the votes to convict if Trump doesn't resign first.

Mueller is coming.

The clown is done.

We have enough evidence to say there is collusion, so no one with any credibility can say otherwise.

You can't be a real person.

Almost all of the posts here have been qualified with something like, "if the story is true" or "if the corroborating evidence exists".

Nobody is getting suckered. We know the caveats.

But stories like this do tend to pan out more often than not.

I know you are praying that it is not true, but it probably is.

Either way, Tiny is still going to prison.

It's looking like the shutdown will not end until Tiny is out of office.

Tiny knows he's in real trouble. He's the kind of guy who will break the government just out of spite. I just hope he limits the damage to the government shutdown. There are lots of things he could literally blow up on his way out the door.
