If the interacted report is available for democrats to "walk down and see" at Justice, how can Donny claim executive privilege applies?
Conservatives: To ensure a relevant response to my inquiry, you cannot reference democrats or liberals. The question is very clearly about Don claiming executive privilege to keep the unredacted report from Dems that apparently have access to it.
Strangerland
Impeach. If they don't think Trump has met the bar of impeachment, then the concept becomes useless. I don't see how any president could possibly do more to deserve impeachment.
Laguna
Best line I've read today "Trump would rather batter collusion than betrayal".
Chip Star
You clearly didn't bother to read the rest of the article.

As much as I despise this con-man and fraudster, I'm still not convinced impeachment is a smart strategy. While he certainly deserves it, as long as McConnell has sold his soul to Trump, it won't happen in the next two years.
I think a better strategy is to focus on all the fifth and crime that is Trump World - get his most recent taxes, investigate the Trump Org, find out if Don Jr and Eric were truthful when they said they get all their money from Russia, investigate the handing out of security clearances to family members.
Shine a light on all the muck - and let voters decide if they want to re-elect an Un-Indicted Co-Conspirator...

It is a waste of time. The outcome is already known. Nothing, just like with Clinton.
Get back to doing the people's business.
Fix immigration.
Fix the election problems. Outlaw computer voting. Paper trail is required.
Fix the war against women's rights.
Fix gun laws so people aiding in any crime are also held accountable.
Fix privacy laws so that data leaks personally hold the upper management accountable, both with fines and jail time. The 4th amendment needs to work for everyone, even crossing a border.
Get the FCC and FTC to do anything - at all - good for people living in the US. Impeach the FCC Chairman. The FTC fines companies, but never collects. Most of the time, those fines are a joke.
PTownsend
Which is to be expected after a corrupt conman who made his fame as a reality TV star was elected.

58% disapprove of Trump being impeached and the Democrats still don’t get it. I hope they go for it. Please do. Lol

I don't see how any president could possibly do more to deserve impeachment.
Maybe actually commit a crime? You know, like Bill Clinton did?
Hey, Strangerland, you know why Trump doesn't wear glasses? Because he has 2020.
SuperLib
Of course the numbers went up. Was someone expecting the numbers to go down?
Blacklabel
Yet at the same time approval numbers are going up. So at least some people realize that no collusion, no obstruction is a pretty simple concept and a final result.
Joe Blow
You have to commit a crime as president to qualify for impeachment.
If there were proof of Trump committing crimes then the Democrats would certainly move on impeachment. They don't have a legal case though. Any lawyer (besides bozos like Avenatti) would tell you that.
Serrano
Was someone expecting the numbers to go down?
Was someone expecting the media to treat Trump fairly?
Strangerland
Yes, 'Media' said this. You know, that person named media. Or was it an organization?
No, it's a boogeyman the right has created.
starpunk
Trump is the worst excuse for a president in all history. From Day One he has been nothing but a trouble-maker and a criminal of the highest degree. He committed more impeachable offenses in his first week than Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton combined.
Donnie Douchebag MUST be removed from office before he further destroys America. He's a Hitler.
lincolnman
Individual -1.....
After the NY SD Attorney finishes, he'll have until 2028 at least, along with Don Jr and Jared...
Approval going up? Where'd they do the poll, Moscow?
Individual -1.....
Where he laughed along with the crazies in the crowd when someone said we should shoot migrants...
No way. When the 12 separate investigations are over, Donnie is looking at 10 to20, easy...
Welcome to Mar-A-Lockup....
Chip Star
Weren't you just saying VOX lacks credibility?
Haha. That's not what the evidence demonstrates.
Obstruction is a crime.
Kestrel
Impeach please. Come on Dems , put up or shutup. Impeach.
lincolnman
That sounds like something Gen Kelly, Gen Mattis, Lt Gen McMaster, Rex Tillertson, Gary Cohn, or any number of former members of the Trump administration would say... Remember Gen Kelly said the White House was "crazytown"...
Remind you of anything? Like, "Russia, if you're listening, please find the....."
lincolnman
Well, given what we learned about Donnie and his lack of business acumen, maybe we need to re-write some of his book titles;
"The Art of Losing $1 Billion"
"Surviving in the Muck"
"The America Russia Deserves"
"The Best Golf Advice I Ever Received - Cheat..."
"Trump 101: The Way to Success - The Art of the Con"
"The Way to the Top: The Best Business Advice I Ever Received - Always Lie"
Joe Blow
"What jumps out at me is that the Mueller people got the law all wrong on obstruction of justice. They came to the conclusion that a president could obstruct justice by simply exercising his constitutional authority under Article 2...The position I've taken from day one is for the president to obstruct justice, he has to go beyond his own permissible constitutional authority and engage in conduct that would be a crime for anyone else, like tampering with witnesses, obstructing a witness, paying witnesses, telling them to lie. None of that is charged against President Trump."
-Alan Dershowtiz
Deadforgood
Yes please.
smithinjapan
Especially since it's now clear he's officially the biggest loser for more than a decade on money, and clearly incapable of going out of business or making good deals.
Texas A&M Aggie
The last paragraph of this "story" says it all:
"The Reuters/Ipsos poll was conducted online in English, throughout the United States."
Heh, ah, yes. The internet. The gold standard of polling sources.
Deadforgood
Oh right, internet polls are only correct if they show positive things about Trump...
Deadforgood
What do you think happens when you put a bunch of Trump supporters in a room with Bernie on Fox News town hall and take a poll on health care in America? I'll tell you, the Trump supporters aren't smart enough to figure out what they want is the "socialism" form of health care that Bernie suggests and not Trumps idea of health care. I'm surprised Fox News didn't fire Brett Bier immediately. If that doesn't show polling against Trump, than I don't know what does.
Deadforgood
Or what if I told you, that Trump plans on moving more illegal immigrant murderers further into our country to mock democrats. Would that make the polls more real?
Chip Star
One legal scholar with one opinion. Think about what he's saying: A president can shut down a probe of himself and it's not obstructing justice because the president has the power to remove the lead investigator under Article II.
It's like being able to fire people for any reason as long as it's not an illegal reason. The president cannot exercise his Article II powers to commit a crime.
Serrano
The number of Americans who said President Donald Trump should be impeached rose 5 percentage points to 45 percent
If that be the case, why are the Democrats stalling on this? Are they cowards?
Trump is the worst excuse for a president in all history.
Nah, you've got it assbackwards, Trump is the greatest president in history, bypassing even Abraham Lincoln as Lincoln didn't have to deal with all the BS Trump has had to deal with and still accomplish as much as he has proportionately.
Jimizo
Why is his approval rating so bad? He should be in the seventies or eighties.
Who is saying he’s the greatest? Tucker Carlson and Judge Jinny or whatever her her name is?
lincolnman
Says Serrano and Vladimir Putin...the other 7.3 billion people on earth think he's a moron...
bass4funk
I agree, that’s what makes him so great!
The FBI and 19 angry Democrats couldn’t prove it, so....
Barr said, that’s a matter of conjecture, so he says not really and Mueller is not so sure and couldn’t prove that what Trump allegedly did was impeachable or indictable.
After 4 years he will, don’t worry.
bass4funk
Dunno, Dershowitz is one of THE most knowledgeable intellectual law minds out there and he’s a Hillary supporter to the bone. What I like about him and Turley (another great legal mind) they just speak the facts and go by the constitution and although there are little differences of opinion as to what can be construed as indictable or impeachable these men are not blinded by hate of this President, they just call it out for what it is.
Serrano
Says Serrano and Vladimir Putin.
Russia, Russia, Russia! Vlad said that? Link? Oh, he didn't say that!
“It’s becoming a circus over there” in Washington, said Fatima Alsrogy, 36, a T-shirt designer from Dallas who took the poll. “There are so many more important things the country needs to pay attention to right now.”
Hear that, Democrats?
Jimizo
...is that they are saying something you like.
If they were saying something you didn’t like, you’d be ROFLing about media bias and witch hunts.
bass4funk
Something different from the Banshee crying daily talking points.
I Do tend to laugh at Don Lemon....a lot.
Chip Star
Are you seriously saying Donny appeasing and capitulating to Kim, going on an apology tour in Asia, anger our allies, etc. is more impressive than ending slavery and keeping our country together?
You are saying a man that is ripping our country apart is a better president than the one who insisted it be united and that all people be treated equally.
Oh my indeed.
bass4funk
Hardly, I’m sorry, but did Kim get the MAIN THING he desperately wants in the form of sanction relief?
Show me one article where Trump apologized to any Asian country for anything.
Slavery??? As far as our allies are concerned, he should anger than the anger at us and they have been a fan for a very very long time and they have been taking advantage of us for a very long time and good on him for standing up to them and making sure that they pay their fair share.
Well, the last President didn’t bring unity whatsoever.
lincolnman
Yes, that's what we've been trying to tell you for two years - I'm glad you finally got it...
He did for everyone except the Neo-Nazi's and the white supremacists - you know, those groups that support Trump...
“We are determined to take our country back,” Duke said from the rally, calling it a “turning point.” “We are going to fulfill the promises of Donald Trump. That’s what we believed in. That’s why we voted for Donald Trump, because he said he’s going to take our country back.”
President Obama was a superb leader, but I doubt there's much he could do to win over those folks...
Jimizo
Doesn’t make it right. It may be different from what the jihadi radical socialists robbing Peter to pay Paul in the liberal unicornverse say, but it doesn’t make it right.
Sean Hannity may say something different to Don Lemon but it doesn’t change the fact that Hannity is a partisan sock puppet.
TheLongTermer
I knew Trump was never "Presidential" material to begin with; he comes from the private sector and has no experience dealing with the PC bureaucratic buffons who dont have to ever worry about really working and can get nothing done. I also knew he was just the man for the job, the time was right for a change. Many others felt the same way, and this is why he will never be impeached. The Dems will do everything they can to get rid of him, and blow BS all day, then inhale that and exhale it over and over.
bass4funk
Apparently, Liberals didn’t get it, you predicted Mueller was going to walk Trump to the gallows and that didn’t happen (not surprisingly) and now you think weasel Schiff and short memory Nadler are going to deliver the goods? Lol
yeah, riiiight.
It doesn’t bother you that the left are supported by Antifa? That would alarm me being connected to such a fascist group.
Superb? Besides being good at shooting hoops and he is definitely good and being the appeasement and apologist in chief, I guess those are somewhat good attributes.
bass4funk
And that’s ok, at least people watch him and he never said he wasn’t a partisan, now if only the guys and ladies on CNN would admit theirs, they might be able to save their sinking ship.
lincolnman
One Trumper got it, and one didn't....
Antiwhat? Is that some group like QAnnon?
He never cheated on his wife with a porn star or lost over $1 Billion through bad business deals. He never said of Neo Nazi's and white supremacists - "some are very fine people." He can also pronounce "origins" and "oranges"...
bass4funk
That’s the life of a businessman and smart of him to use the bankruptcy laws exactly the way they were written, which is old news by the way, something he spoke openly about a long time ago, big shock, if that’s the only thing the Dems have, they have absolutely zero chance of winning. Calling him names won’t get the Dems the WH, policy does and besides income redistribution and implementing socialism, what else do the Dems have?
No, he said that about the PC crowd taking down historical monuments, some are good in fact, why should the descendants of certain people whose relatives fought in the Civil War be labeled as racists. Painting a broad brush again...the liberals try and try....lol
lincolnman
That's the life of a businessman to cheat on his wife with porn stars? Is that a joke? By the way, successful businessmen and women, make money, they don't lose it. He's earned the nickname "The Biggest Loser"...
What he said is in black and white, and you can't spin that...
Strangerland
He did, but it turns out Trump had bought off the hangman.
bass4funk
I could care less if f he cheats on his wife, that has nothing to do with me. I knew Trump was a skirt chaser for years just like Clinton and I still voted for both of them. What they do in their private lives doesn’t interest me, as long as they don’t do it in the WH like Bill did, I’m ok.
Steve Jobs lost money, got fired and came on Top, so I losing money is part of the deal. That’s why he used the bankruptcy laws in order to save what he had and not owe money, smart all the way.
Exactly, so why do liberals keep thinking they are the only ones that can read the facts. This is why the Dems keep losing, they keep talking about a debunked narrative.
bass4funk
They have a long, long way to go before they can catch up to the socialists
lincolnman
The guy's a low-life sleeze, who cavorts with porn stars while his wife is at home with their 4 month old son - that's disgusting. It shows his lack of character, integrity, and respect for his wife. A guy like that shouldn't be within 100 ft of the White House. And before you say it, that goes for Bill Clinton too.
He lost over $1 billion because he was a poor businessman. He went bankrupt (six times) because he was a poor businessman. He didn't pay any income tax for 8 years because he was a poor businessman. He prides himself on his business expertise - the facts show he hasn't any. He's the Biggest Loser - and that nickname will stick beyond 2020...
Exactly - good I'm glad we agree that he thinks some of the Neo-Nazi's and white supremacists are "very fine people"...
JenniSchiebel
Impeaching an American president means charging him with a crime.
But whether to charge someone with a crime or not is not a matter for opinion polls.
It's a matter for objective fact and evidence.
To me, this is just a case of a Trump-hating media engineering a poll designed to smear him leading up to next year's election.
His political opponents have been squawking about impeachment for nearly two years.
Why haven't they done it by now? Because they know they have no grounds for it -- but they will keep chirping about it in the hopes that it will sully Trump enough to defeat him next year.
It won't work, though. Trump will win again. Everyone who voted for him last time will do so again. And there were many people in his own party who did not support him last time -- but have been won over by him and will vote for him next year.
He will be re-elected.
bass4funk
It is. Ok and?
Well, that’s your personal opinion, for me, I don’t care as long as you don’t bring it to the WH.
Again, that’s your take, but to come back, have one of the highest rated TV show at the time, waiting best selling books and besing out 17 professional Republicans and one very flawed Democrat is an absolute genius.
Yes, Great that he is telling the facts about everyone that the descendants of the former Confederate states are not all bad and not all racists and good on him.
lincolnman
Individual -1...
Good for him, he can't get over 46% - and that's with a good economy thanks to his predecessor...
Individual -1...
Putin thinks so too...
He's been saying Mexico will pay for the wall for three years - has that happened yet?
You sound exactly like Repub Congressman Kevin McCarthy and the Benghazi investigation...
Putin guarantees it...
He will be an Un-Indicted Co-Conspirator...
lincolnman
See next line down...
It's your personal opinion too - see second line above - "It is". The fact that you don't care there is a pervert with no morals, integrity, honesty, or values in the White House says quite a bit. As this President makes decisions about life and death, is he going to base those on his morals, his integrity, his character? As you admit, he has none of those. God help us.
Geniuses can look at a picture and see one inauguration crowd is much smaller than another inauguration crowd, they know the difference between "origins" and "oranges", and they can remember where their father was born - let alone not losing over $1 billion....
Sorry, no one thinks Nazis and white supremacists are "very fine people" except Trump and David Duke...
bass4funk
In the far reaches of the liberal dream spot, probably. Lol
You guys sind like Nadler. Keep moving, it’s over.
Ok and so what? He’ll still be President though.
Blacklabel
It’s sad how far liberals have fallen. From Trump is a treasonous traitor who will certainly be removed from office and jailed along with his whole family... to “but he cheated on his wife!” and other #orange man-bad type whining.
Muellers coming! Individual 1! Lol give it up. Nobody cares.
