Watergate break-in happened on June 17, 1972.

Nixon stepped down on August 9, 1974.

That's 26 months.

Mueller's investigation is only 9 months old.

There’s no point taking him down unless you remove him from office before his ****ing term ends.

Dude

It’s not that I don’t know that. I’m pointing out that Mueller is part of the problem not the solution.

Mueller needs to hang right next to Trump. Tie Comey’s bitch ass up there, too.

Reasonable doubt?

Absolutely. Comey had clearly politicized the FBI with his memos and Trump said that that was the key driver in his reasoning. Boom. Reasonable doubt.

That’s obstruction of justice and against the law. When a Man breaks law and admits it he gets arrested unless the investigator is a pussy.
Ditching due process is infinitely more fascist than anything Trump has even considered.

His first term doesn't end for another 34 months......

Mueller is being very methodical and ratcheting up the heat a little bit at a time. Today's indictment took things from a simmer to a mild boil.

Can I get a copy of Mueller's diary?

Reasonable doubt and due process are for the TRIAL. The ****er hasn’t even been arrested.

Due process absolutely involves the arrest but you're right, I concede.

Definitely not more fascist, but in the same ballpark for sure. As much as I don't like Trump, I'd rather that they could prove without a shadow of a doubt that he was actively working against the FBI in a direct way, or working with Russia to get himself elected. I don't expect to see Trump go down at this rate, not unless there's a bombshell that hasn't been uncovered yet (which is a real possibility, but not probable), but I think his credibility is being destroyed with Republican voters, and I do think that new standards will be enforced.

I don't think he'll run for a second term because he knows he'd get destroyed by a competent opponent, and I don't think his ego could handle a defeat like that.

Plus, he'll be totally fed up with the job and all of its scrutiny by 2020. I'd wager he already is.
