in his ongoing attempts to undermine US institutions he and his backers can't yet control.
Trump's so easily triggered.
If he's not covering up something, why won't he release the info asked for? This would all just go away if he'd be more transparent. What all is Trump hiding? Who else - in the US and 'abroad' - is he trying to protect?
bass4funk
How?
If I constantly accuse your family doing, went deaf your family, launched a bogus in the whole investigation for two years on you and you knew that you were in this since it in the findings found the same thing, absolutely no collusion and then they continue to try to tear you down? Yeah, I’d be easily triggered as well.
Or he just doesn’t want to give the Democrats even more ammunition, they already started attacking him over his financial records which he didn’t do anything wrong and which he openly admitted and talked about it, wrote a best selling book about it before he became president about how much money he lost, so I think the results will be the same, but why would he do that and have the Democrats pile on him some more? So I don’t blame her for doing that.
Give me a break!! None of this would go away he could be as open as he possibly can, he can cure cancer, he could do anything, anything positive, he could impose the highest tax penalty on the richest people it wouldn’t matter, The Democrats would still complain about something and would still find something to attack them on, don’t even go there.
Haaa Nemui
No he can't.
He hasn't
He won't and it would change things.

By trotting out rediculous conspiracy theories that the institutions are corrupt and/or biased every time those institutions rule against Donny. You are a master of this, so it's odd that you would ask.
Hilarious that Donny can't act like an adult and be above it all, which is what Obama did.
Oh, yeah, your conclusion that there was absolutely no collusion is not supported by any evidence. I think you know this though and simply chant the mantra Fox "News" has handed down because it makes you feel better.
If there's nothing untoward, how would it be more ammunition for the Dems? Doh!
Remember when Obama was transparent with his birth certificate but Donny refused to give up on the birther nonsense? Well, Donny wasn't the opposition, he was just a vile, repugnant citizen.
Here, the Dems have a constitutional duty to provide oversight. I'm sorry that you hate the system of checks and balances the Foounding Fathers created, but it works.
bass4funk
But if he did.
200 recorded accomplishments say otherwise.
No, never for this President.
bass4funk
Come again? Lol
Uh-huh, is that what Democrats think? Obama was equally as thin skin, he may not have voiced it in public as often, but his actions did.
Yes, Mueller said so even with for the FBI agents and 19 angry Democrats and two years of wasted taxpayer money, nothing.
Because the Democrats definitely spit up to get this president, if anyone can’t see that now, then I don’t know what to say. You can lead a horse to the water but you can’t make it drink.
Yes and I thought it was a stupid thing for Obama to show it, where he didn’t need to and I thought it was equally as stupid for the Republicans to go after him on that.
Of course they do, and they are allowed to exercise that right, I never said he didn’t, but at the same time the president can also as with previous presidents use executive privilege and he wouldn’t be the first nor will he be the last. The Congress will do what it wants to do in the present it will do the same.
Haaa Nemui
Accomplishing something doesn't make it positive.
If he tried it he would be surprised. He hasn't tried it.

Overweight, poor diet, "livid" - maybe we won't need impeachment....
Really? OK Donnie and Trumpers, explain Trump dictating the memo on the Trump Tower meeting with Russians to get dirt on Hillary by saying it was about "adoptions".... That's not a cover-up?
He's such a wussy - want some cheese with your whine Donnie? And this from the guy who has over 20 sexual harrassment claims...
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-sexual-assault-allegation-alva-johnson-claims-women-how-many-accused-kiss-a8796851.html
Don't impeach - that's what he wants - investigate the crap out of him - get all the dirt out in the open and show the American people what a sleazeball and criminal he is.
bass4funk
For the haters, of course, for the supporters and people and institutions that benefited from them, it very much does.
He does an did. The Economy is roaring and he has a 56% approval on that and the Democrats want to run against that and they still tried to knock him down on that, there is your prime example right there.
bass4funk
Judging from his family DNA and he has good genes, he’ll probably live longer than all of us here on JT.
I don’t know, Mueller has spoken. The collusion delusion is over. More and more people are getting upset with the Democrats they’re not able to produce anything, they are not writing bills, they are just trying to help this president, but the good thing is next year that up for reelection as well. Lol
Welcome to the world of men and politics.
First you have to be convicted of a crime to be a criminal, but if Nadler and Pelosi want to go ahead, I sure wish they would. I’ll even hand them a gold plated shovel to each Democrat and throw in some headstones with names on them.
Haaa Nemui
We were talking about raising taxes on the richest people. He never has.
lincolnman
Doubt that - with every outburst and meltdown, he's increasing his chance of "the big one".... Go Donnie - get angry!
He said he doesn't do cover-ups - so explain the letter about adoptions?
We welcome to Trump's world of porn stars, Playboy Bunnies, and hookers - "grab em by the ____"...
Suborning perjury, obstructing justice, fraud, money laundering; investigate it all - show the American people they elected the real "Crime Don"...
Belrick
Democrats are pathetic.
Strangerland
Um, no it's not, unless you people have stopped your delusion that the report didn't show collusion.
No they're not. Everyone is already in their camps. You people are just getting more and more annoyed that you can't bury this.
Haaa Nemui
Well that's value added if ever I saw it.
yamada1043
The drama queen currently occupying the White House is a total farce ... he’s always been a farce.
bass4funk
Hmmm...seems like the only people that are getting angry are the Democrats.
But speaking of coverups, why did Lois Lerner only target conservative donors?
And still with all the 19 angry lawyers and 40 FBI agents there just really wasn’t anything that would amount to illegal activity or collusion, but the Sainted Nadler will find it? ROFL!
bass4funk
Yes that’s all we need to go back to stagnant growth and have a investors see the country and have the rest of the country go down the path of California and New York, that sounds really good, jump on more regulations and scare away investors. Capitalism and free market to the Democrats are like oil and water
Serrano
When are the Democrats going to stop this foolishness and get started on doing their job for the American people?
lincolnman
Yet the article says Donnie was the one that threw the two-year old tantrum and was "livid" - go Donnie - get that blood pressure boiling....
Dodge - for the third time, explain the adoptions memo if he "doesn't do cover-ups"...
Over 10 instances of attempted obstruction - and 20 more investigations ongoing....no wonder Donnie is "livid"...he sees the noose closing...

The democrat party "leadership" continues showing the U.S. electorate on a daily basis that they have zero chance of defeating PDJT in 2020 because instead of moving forward and doing the job they were elected to do, they insist on living in the past by trying to win the 2016 election. Only their dwindling reality-challenged basement voter bloc are lappping up what the democrats and their stenographers in the liberal MSM are spewing.
The democrat party's death spiral continues.
lincolnman
PDJT? Putin and Donnie are Just Terrific?

Chip Star
When Donny and the Senate start proposing legislation. HAR! Tee Hee!
Chip Star
No. That is a massive logic failure. Committing a crime makes one a criminal. Being convicted of a crime does not make one a criminal, which is evidenced by the constant exoneration of convicted people.
commanteer
The Dems have gotten so bad that they can't even win elections they fix. So, rather than wake up and try to become a more inclusive and less resentment-fueled party, they opt for a coup via the courts, the voters be damned.
The whole Russian mind-control narrative belongs with flat earth, chem-trail and alien conspiracy theories. Laughable if not for the fact that so many people believe it, and it could lead to a disastrous global war.
Haaa Nemui
Republicans just have better fixers.
Texas A&M Aggie
PDJT? Putin and Donnie are Just Terrific? -- comment
Heh, Robert Mueller disagrees with that assessment. Only America-obsessed foreigners watching CNN International continue believing that lie.
Haaa Nemui
Well you're right about one thing. They really aren't terrific.
Chip Star
No, he didn't.
Only people who are completely ignorant of the contents of Mueller's report continue to spout the Fox "News" inaccurate talking point that Mueller cleared Donny of anything but conspiracy.
bass4funk
I prefer watching the blood pressure rise on the Democrats.
No, dodge, answer the question please.
And Mueller said, done deal 2 years wasted and no collusion. 40 FBI agents and 19 lawyers, that’s a lot. Oh, well...
lincolnman
Really? I guess you missed this portion of the report...
“The Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election in sweeping and systematic fashion.”
And only Putin, Trump, and a few other Trumpofiles continue to dismiss Russian interference - wonder why?
bass4funk
@haaa-nemui
Sorry..
http://money.com/money/5285978/trump-bump-misconceptions-investors/
Not really.
I could care less, really.
Trump will never see the inside of a prison and if Dems want to kill their last shot, indict him please, it’s the best thing for conservatives. Make up a crime, go ahead.
Hey, Obama appointee judges play their game, Barr will play his, May the best politician win.
bass4funk
And the Mueller report said, no one from the Trump campaign conspired with a foreign enemy. Phew!
Because there was nothing, that’s probably why.
Chip Star
Lmao! Should I follow your writing "style"?
That's painfully obvious.
Okay, but this doesn't change the fact that you don't know what's in Mueller's report, which is why you keep making unfounded claims about it.
At least you finally admit it's all about politics and has nothing to do with justice.
SuperLib
Everyone knows Trump is crooked. Some want to see justice, others are OK with it since he's racist.
lincolnman
But their's isn't, it's just Donnie who is throwing tantrums and is "livid"...maybe orange is the new red....
He dictated the memo that said the meeting with Russians was about adoptions - trying to cover up the fact it was about getting dirt on Hillary - so explain how he "doesn't do cover-ups? Just man-up and answer it or say you can't.
Mueller didn't say that, Barr (Rudy Jr) said that - but he can't cover that up either...
Haaa Nemui
Interesting article bass. A lot of misconceptions. Very interesting. I'm going to suggest everybody read it. Carefully. Investors having more money in foreign investments under Trump than they would have otherwise kind of shows they are more scared to invest locally now than they were before. Lots more information in there too which goes against most of the "booming economy" talk. Fantastic. No apology needed.

Which is probably why Democrats aren't walking down the impeach road. Of course, when Trump stops being President the Muller report could be used to indict him on obstruction of justice. In which case he could well see the inside of a prison.
You obviously haven't read the report.
SuperLib
Since he accomplish nothing in his first term he could run on exactly the same platform. Healthcare reform, new NAFTA, new Middle East Peace plan, new Paris accords, new bilateral agreements, Mexico paying for a wall, etc.
He doesn't even need to show up. Just roll the tape from 2016. His base won't notice.
bass4funk
If it helps, by all means.
It’s over, that’s what we know, there won’t be anymore indictments, move on.
I’m always honest and yes, Both parties are guilty of this.
bass4funk
As with most liberals, you cherry picked, but let me help you a bit, during the Obama years, the majority of jobs that were created work paper have jobs or jobs that had the response of would you like fries with that? Now when you have a stagnant 1.6 up to 2.0% in GDP compared to a 3.0 up to 4.1% GDP, you clear all regulations, you lower the tax code and you allow for foreign investments you unleash the economy it will set itself you have more people that are not sending money more people that are investing more people that are buying and with the latest poll that the people love economy even more than this president shows 56% approval of the economy indicates that the Democrats don’t have a leg to stand on in the going to have a very tough time trying to justify otherwise, I wish them the best of luck but all the charm and all the smiles and all the socialism in the world will not help the Democrats reach the White House.
Nice try though.
bass4funk
Yeah, in a fantasy world perhaps, but when you have some of the best lawyers in the world...
It just won’t happen.
Sneezy
Trump's personal lawyer and "fixer" is in prison.
Strangerland
Yes he did. Didn’t you look at the report?
Accuracy matters. There wasn’t enough to charge him with the crime that exists - conspiracy. But collusion (which is illegal) was shown.
Strangerland
Hmm, believe some dude on the Internet, or Mueller, who investigates for two years.
sorry mate, you lose that one.
Trump colluded.
Strangerland
As your team pointed out, collusion is not a crime.
Do you think it’s ethical though?
lincolnman
Really? Do you mean Trump personally colluded or the Trump campaign colluded? If there was no collusion with the campaign, why were 7 senior Trump officials tried and convicted for lying under oath about Russians? Why did Manafort give campaign polling data to the Russians? Why did Don Jr and Jared meet with Russians at Trump Tower to get dirt on Hillary (then lie about it)? Why did Stone work with Wikileaks to get e-mails stolen by Russians?
And Mueller had the evidence to indict 34 people and 3 companies...a majority Trump officials and Russians...
Just goes to show, the only two questions on a Trump job applications are; 1) will you lie under oath, and 2) can you speak Russian...
stormcrow
Extortion?
Isn't Trump extorting the American people by threatening to stop cooperating with this congress unless they do as he wishes, which means not doing their duty to investigate?
2020hindsights
Are we talking lawyers like Michael Cohen or maybe the likes of Rudy Giuliani...? ;-)
2020hindsights
Mr. Noidall
Just because Trump said that at a rally, doesn't mean it is true...
bass4funk
Naw, if he were, he’d be in prison, the liberals haven’t a snowball of a chance to see this man go to prison, it won’t happen, move on. I’m trying to help y’all. 40 FBI and 19 angry Democrats couldn’t get jack because there was nothing. ROFL!
Strangerland
.
How so? As your team reminded us so many times, collusion isn't a crime.
But I'm curious whether you think collusion is ethical or not.
YuriOtani
Donny had a temper tantrum with the leaders of Congress. As I always say talking with the trump child is a waste of time.
Chip Star
Someone isn't familiar with how the legal system works.
Blacklabel
liberals still going on and on about this. Until Mueller says his words meant something different than what Barr did, still no collusion or obstruction and no indictments. Michael Avenatti got indicted though, and Comey and Brennan and McCabe will soon be following right behind him in the line or heroic CNN avengers.
You dont smacktalk a person in pubic then try to sit down to make a deal mins later. Pelosi and Dems will learn someday, until then no deal.
lincolnman
Nancy gave the two year old a scolding and he had the expected meltdown in public...ranting and raving like a lunatic and crying like a baby...someone give him his pacifier - maybe Stormy?
Speaking of Stormy, what do you call a $300K payoff for silence Mr President - a cover-up?
What a Loser....
Chip Star
Okay. If Mueller does refute Barr, you'll simply pivot to the conspiracy that Mueller is corrupt and bias.
Irrelevant.
We've heard this before. But this time you really mean it, correct?
smithinjapan
Not long now! The coward is on his way out! And when he's out, bring on the criminal charges for not only him, but all those who protected him.
Blacklabel
Nope, because Mueller cant contradict his own written words so he will never say it. NEVER.
Avenatti was your anti Trump hero, now its Mueller. they both failed you.
Yes, I really mean it. Unlike your side saying for YEARS that Trump would be removed from office, his family would be jailed, and other extraneous nonsense.
wtfjapan
First you have to be convicted of a crime to be a criminal, but if Nadler and Pelosi want to go ahead, I sure wish they would.
I agreee with Pelosi, keep the investigation going slowly uncover all the slime under Trumps business past . then when the AMerican public has a good picture of who and what Trump is they can decide if they want more of it come next election.
wtfjapan
now its Mueller. they both failed you.
oh by arresting and convicting a number of Trump associated , confiscating their assets and actually making a profit for the AMerican taxpayer. Mueller didn't clear Trump of obstruction you know the same thing that finished Nixon. If you class all that as failure Id hate to know what you call success.
bass4funk
You saw him in prison stripes???
Collusion is not necessarily or legally always a crime as far as it being ethical that would depend on how you interpret it or how it’s perceived in your worldview.
Yeah, uh-huh...almost 60% of Americans want an end to this, I say, let the Democrats waste their time in finding nothing like Mueller, it’s all better for Trump.
That’s them, nothing to do with the President himself. Try again.
Blacklabel
Yes Mueller and Avenatti failed you. Trump still president and no indictments of Trump family members. His “close associates” are really people he barely knew, except Cohen.
It already boomeranged on Avenatti and Cohen (prison soon and prison) and the same will happen to mueller if he speaks under oath. Thus the silence.
takeda.shingen.1991@gmail.com
Lol saying it again doesn't make it any truer.
That we know of yet. There are still half a dozen or more sealed indictments, not to mention numerous investigations ongoing.
Really? Flynn is someone he barely knew? Manafort, his campaign manager was someone he barely knew? Okay.;)
So what? Cohen is a crook and Avenatti sounds like one as well. Send them both to prison, but let's not pretend Donny is any less of a crook than the other two.
Strangerland
So Blacklabel, I think we've all accepted Trump's collusion was not a crime. But I'm curious, do you think it was ethical? Do you believe that his team working with the Russians to get Trump elected was appropriate behavior for a presidential hopeful? And if so, will you defend Democratic candidates who appeal to foreign nations to help them win the presidency?
Dodge coming in 3, 2, 1...
