Trump's executive privilege strategy could mean messy fight

Another day, another attempt by this Impostor to subvert our Constitution...

He's doing exactly what Putin ordered him to do - cause as much confusion and chaos as possible, so Russia can move freely around the world unopposed.

When will his supporters realize they've been conned - that we've mistakenly elected a mental midget, without an ounce of integrity, dignity or compassion.

His own handpicked staff have to refuse to carry out his directions, lest they be charged as an accessory to one of his many crimes.

He's taking a wrecking ball to our democracy. I'm all for the option of giving him immunity to all his current crimes, and any of those found by any of the other current ongoing investigations, on the condition he step down immediately. I can't stand Pence, but he at least would think twice before starting WW III. We'll get a Democrat back in the White House in 2020.

Let Donnie go back to Hollywood and his reality TV show - and we can look back on his Presidency as a case of national short term insanity.

Trump never bothered to learn anything about the presidency and so never bothered to build positive relations with members of Congress. He doesn't seem to grasp the principles that insulting people and failing to submit legislative proposals on things he claims to care about are not intelligent tactics. Thank God Trump knows so little about our political system. That helps limit the damage he is trying to do.

Trump never bothered to learn anything about the presidency and so never bothered to build positive relations with members of Congress.

He absolutely did, it was the Democrats from day 1 that never accepted, boycotted and tried to delegitimize his entire Presidency and to bring him down and get him out of office, so there is no he could or even should have tried.

He doesn't seem to grasp the principles that insulting people and failing to submit legislative proposals on things he claims to care about are not intelligent tactics. 

But he as the President has to sit and endure mocking and continue the same old, boring and tiring ways of the establishment because it’s not Kosher to deviate from Washington tradition? That was the biggest reason why people voted for this man, to disrupt that tradition and he’s doing a fine job at it.

Thank God Trump knows so little about our political system. That helps limit the damage he is trying to do.

Hey, the Democrats don’t know anything either, but they do know Russia, Collusion. That is something that’s imprinted in their DNA.

Completely irrelevant to Trump being incompetent because he's not smart enough to understand that he's not smart.

So you think Obama making Trump look like a fool at the Correspondents Dinner over the birther thing was a great move. Obama was just punching back.

Hey, the Democrats don’t know anything either, but they do know Russia, Collusion. That is something that’s imprinted in their DNA.

And Trump knows obstruction of justice. Just ask Judge Napolitano.

Trump lacked political experience and diplomacy thinking he could rule like a reality tv star and populist loud mouth.

So good, I don’t see the problem. If I wanted a politician, I would have voted for Jeb Bush.

When he entered the WH one of his first actions was to phone the Australia prime minister to criticize him?

Yes and rightfully so.

The group is the first of 1,250 refugees ultimately expected to resettle in the United States, as part of an agreement with the Australian government the Obama administration brokered. In exchange, Australia is accepting refugees held in US-run detention centers in central America.

Haunted by Mueller investigation which will remain in his mind until the end of days and only a couple of days ago was still sending out incorrect tweets on it. His White House will always have the Mueller ghost.

Uh-huh...lol

Completely irrelevant

Actually, it’s very, very relevant. You think he’s dumb, I don’t, if he were dumb there would be no way he could blow away Hillary and 17 professional GOP politicians. Can I get an Amen please!

So you think Obama making Trump look like a fool at the Correspondents Dinner over the birther thing was a great move. Obama was just punching back.

And Trump punched back as well by erasing all of his disastrous legacies.

And Trump knows obstruction of justice. Just ask Judge Napolitano

The good judge also said, Good luck with Nadler and company getting his taxes, impeached and out of office. Lol

He's falling into Pelosi's trap. Give Trump a clear target, such as impeachment, and he'll attack like a weasel; make threats real but origin vague, and he's lost. Death by a thousand cuts, say, or maybe akin to Ali's rope-a-dope strategy: Trump just doesn't know where to hit.

Meanwhile, as details of his malfeasance drip out, he's being dragged into further cases of obstruction. Pelosi is playing him like a toy.

Liberal hopes spring eternal rage one day they will find “something”. Should just focus on winning the next election.

Trump is soooo horrible that it’s an easy win for any of your 25 candidates. Right?

Actually, it’s very, very relevant. You think he’s dumb, I don’t, if he were dumb there would be no way he could blow away Hillary and 17 professional GOP politicians. Can I get an Amen please!

Another irrelevant response. The topic was Trump not adequately preparing himself because he's not smart enough to realize he's not smart. You're chasing the intelligence part when the actual topic was Trump's failure to prepare for the office. "I THOUGHT IT'D BE EASIER."

And Trump punched back as well by erasing all of his disastrous legacies.

You agree Obama did great punching at Donny for Fonny's undying support of birtherism. Amazing to see you admit Obama did something correct.

The good judge also said, Good luck with Nadler and company getting his taxes, impeached and out of office. Lol

So you agree with Napolitano. You've accepted that Trump obstructed justice. Real progress.

And the Democrats continue to dig themselves a deeper hole...

Many of Trump's strongest supporters from the far right have deserted him and now are outspoken against him.

Actually, they are not the strongest supporters. I wouldn’t call Wisconsin or Michigan an enclave of radical Nationalism.

Another irrelevant response.

Naw, it’s relevant alright. The Dems are doing what they can’t resist and they are making yet more feverish and tried and tested failed attempts to impeach this President, it will never happen and they know it will never happen.

You agree Obama did great punching at Donny for Fonny's undying support of birtherism.

I agree that Trump punched him and the Dems harder by winning the Presidency and erasing his disastrous policies

So you agree with Napolitano.

That the Dems don’t have a chance at winning an obstruction case, oh, heck yes!

Naw, it’s relevant alright. The Dems are doing what they can’t resist and they are making yet more feverish and tried and tested failed attempts to impeach this President, it will never happen and they know it will never happen.

Another irrelevant response. Again, the issue we are arguing about is Trump not having prepared for the office of president. For any response you have to be relevant, it can't include any mention of democrats because they couldn't have made or prevented Trump from preparing to be president.

I agree that Trump punched him and the Dems harder by winning the Presidency and erasing his disastrous policies

An irrelevant response to whether you agree that Obama was correct to punch Trump for the birtherism nonsense. I'll continue to call out your irrelevant responses, so it may ne easier to stop.

That the Dems don’t have a chance at winning an obstruction case, oh, heck yes!

And the third irrelevant response in one post. Consistency.

What sticks in the throats of a large section of his base are those affected by his longest in history government shutdown who were unable to collect their paychecks but still had to turn up for work. Unable to pay thier mortgages and biils. Or the farmers hit by his trade sanctions against China, like the soya farmers who are now exporting less and needing loans.

Many of his own party no longer support him.

And his poll numbers still haven’t changed that much. What the media never tell you is that for the majority of his supporters it didn’t change there positions much on how they feel about this President, but the why would the media do that it would require them to doing their jobs.

Judge Andrew Napolitano makes his case and calls Trump “immoral, criminal, defenseless, and condemnable.” Ouch.

Napolitano also called Trump a close friend.

Fox News judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano: "When the president asked Corey Lewandowski ... to get Mueller fired, that's obstruction of justice. When the president asked his then-White House counsel to get Mueller fired & then lie about it, that's obstruction of justice."

The Judge also said, it’s hard to prove because in order to make the charges stick you need to prove the President did so with “intent” the Democrats on that alone are already DOA because there is no way they could prove it. But the Democrats want to squander their last opportunity.

Another irrelevant response. Again, the issue we are arguing about is Trump not having prepared for the office of president.

He’s an outsider, so was Reagan and they learned on the job. But I like Trump’s disruptive manner

it can't include any mention of democrats because they couldn't have made or prevented Trump from preparing to be president.

You mean, you don’t want to be backed in a corner and you think I or any Trump supporter should agree with the haters because they feel so and especially when it’s from a one-sided opinionated source? No thank you, but liberals don’t make the rules.

An irrelevant response to whether you agree that Obama was correct to punch Trump for the birtherism nonsense. I'll continue to call out your irrelevant responses, so it may ne easier to stop.

The Dems are doing this to themselves they can’t resist and they are making yet more feverish and tried and tested failed attempts to impeach this President, it will never happen and they know it will never happen and to add to that, the Dems never attacked Podesta for starting that mess.

.

He’s an outsider, so was Reagan and they learned on the job. But I like Trump’s disruptive manner

Finally, you admit Trump didn't prepare for the job. See, that wasn't difficult.

You mean, you don’t want to be backed in a corner and you think I or any Trump supporter should agree with the haters because they feel so and especially when it’s from a one-sided opinionated source? No thank you, but liberals don’t make the rules.

Not at all. I was very clear that I was trying to keep you from irrelevant responses. You did it, but then you just had to include irrelevance about Trumpophiles and Trump haters. I'm glad you were at least able to admit Trump didn't prepare for thenoffuce before you launched into an irrelevant, hyper-partisan screed.

The Dems are doing this to themselves they can’t resist and they are making yet more feverish and tried and tested failed attempts to impeach this President, it will never happen and they know it will never happen and to add to that, the Dems never attacked Podesta for starting that mess.

More irrelevance. When you respond whether you think Obama was correct for punching back at Trump for Trump's birther nonsense, you cannot mention Dems or podesta or your answer becomes irrelevant.

Despite you making it seems as if answering in a relevant manner is extremely difficult, it really isn't. Just put your compulsive need to denigrate democrats in check and focus on the actual issue being discussed.

He’s an outsider, so was Reagan and they learned on the job. But I like Trump’s disruptive manner

It's hilarious how you confuse Trump's incompetence from lack of preparation as being intentionally disruptive.

Finally, you admit Trump didn't prepare for the job.

And he did a better job learning on the job from businessman to politician.

Not at all.

I disagree, I thought it was a very relevant and important response.

When you respond whether you think Obama was correct for punching back at Trump for Trump's birther nonsense,

Sorry, but I just hate the fact that the Democrats or more importantly Podesta was the one that started the whole entire mess, let’s keep the blame with the real perpetrators that started it.

Just put your compulsive need to denigrate democrats in check and focus on the actual issue being discussed.*

But it’s ok to be compulsive and denigrate the President? I see let’s attack the President, but hands off the people attacking him, partisan to the max.

The sign in the picture above is a little fuzzy so you can't make out some of the small print...

Contact D. Trump, King, er..., we mean President...

Chip Star - Completely irrelevant to Trump being incompetent because he's not smart enough to understand that he's not smart.

LOL. Trump only had to be smarter than Hillary, Bernie, and all of his Republican primary opponents.

Trump's executive privilege strategy could mean messy fight 

By JONATHAN LEMIRE and MARK SHERMAN

Someone should explain to Lemire, and Sherman, that Trump has NOT invoked executive privilege.

That reflects a shift in legal tactics for Trump's lawyers. At first, they cooperated with Mueller's 22-month investigation, encouraging officials to testify and turning over more than a million documents. But starting last spring, the White House took a far more adversarial approach, publicly questioning the investigation's integrity and resisting some requests.

Trump has cooperated with these Democrat fishing expeditions, but it now appears that he's fed up with the elected Democrats constant demands, and whining. The Democrats didn't find anything they can use to impeach Trump, so they continue to stalk Trump, and bluster about what would have happened if any of their claims were true. If the Democrats want any more information, they should have to convince a judge to OK the release.
