Yeah, But …
To be honest, I am less interested in impeachment than I am the Supreme Court decision on releasing Trump’s financial records from the criminal enterprise known as Deutsche Bank.
I don’t know what’s there but Trump’s determined interest in keeping it secret tells me that he’s probably got loans secured by Russians and the Saudis. Plus, I’m willing to bet my best pair of pink boots that Trump isn’t a billionaire.
Ya can’t argue with numbers. Well, you can but it won’t do you much good.
The nice thing about the records is that it won’t be Trump releasing them. It’ll be the accounting firm and Deutsche Bank. So, that means Trump can’t sit on them and dare someone to come get them.
Thelma says the coolest part would be discovering if Putin sends out 1099’s.
Now I’m counting on Chief Justice Roberts not wanting his legacy to be Trump’s bag man. I understand that’s risky.
The other good part is that Trump can’t protect his kids from state charges. He can’t pardon them. My belief is that it’ll turn into Lord of Flies within 24 hours.
I personally can’t invest too much trust in the Supremes. I just read that they walked away from taking the Kentucky case of the forced ultra sound pregnancy law which remains in effect.
The weight of executive tax returns discovery in is embraced in constitutional and historical precedent but this is a tasty appetizer for a conservative group who are stretching their values to the denigration of American values.
1Getting the financial/tax info out in public is key to getting this fecal specimen flushed out of office.
2The only shame he is capable of feeling is being outed as a financial failure.
The court system, however slow or impeded, is this country’s only real remedy.
And yes, the producing of executive tax returns is relatively recent but considering the analogy of the emoluments clause, the founder’s abhorrence of corruption is fairly warranted.
3Seeing the tax returns are important but the backup information is vital. Those accountants prepared the returns from the info that Trump gave them and we already know from Cohen that he kept several sets of books!
4Following the money is so much more fun when there is a trail of breadcrumbs leading to documents, especially the documents that will lead to convictions of IQ4.5 and those attached to him.
5Alas I fear Roberts will wear the title of bagman for demented donnie as a badge of honor.
6I fear you underestimate the loyalty of the thuglican judiciary to their political masters. From the lowliest of county judges to the supreme court they understand that results that enhance the ideology of their paymasters are all that matters. After all reputation as an ‘honorable” dissentent doesn’t help accumalate a fortune and ensure rewarding employment for children and relatives.
Found it so interesting that Christopher Steele had a personal relationship with Ivanka Trump , that included talks about a possible job offer.
Trump is very transparent in a way. The more he fights about not releasing things the more you really want to know what he’s hiding.
And the more he denigrates someone, we now know they have something on him.
7Let’s hope there are several judicial bombshells helping to lay bare the stinking pile of illegal transactions perpetrated by El Dumpo.
8I hope Trump is NOT removed from office. I want every one of the Republicans who support him to OWN Trump for the next 11 months including the 50 scandals that he will create from now until next November. May they never be able to eat in a restaurant or walk in public without being hounded. I think Trump will ultimately bring down the whole party. Things are trending badly for them. They can all go down together.

10Most of them are perfectly hunky dory doing just that.
The folks that elected them don’t get their news from news.
But from the propaganda machine.
Things aren’t trending badly for them nearly as much on the Russian influenced social media sites.

He’s doing astounding damage to our nation and to the world every day he’s in office. Much of that damage is permanent.
No one will change their minds if the contradictions are further heightened
11If those financial records get out in the open and they implicate Donald Trump in some shady crap for which he could go to jail, and they implicate the Trumpensprogs, you can bet those same sprogs are going to throw dear old Dad to the wolves as fast as they can.
They may be stupid but they are conservatives. They will shiv Daddy in a second to avoid jail themselves.
12I am putting a lot of hope on Letitia James, NY AG. She ran on nailing the tRump organization on state crimes. I have a feeling all of that will drop in the next 6-8 months.
13Accept reality. Trump is not going to be removed by THIS Senate. He will remain in office where he will create more and more scandals. We can only hope that the American voters will vote against him in 2020 along with all of the Republicans who are just as dishonest and corrupt as Trump is. Trump will cause the Republicans to lose the Senate and the White House and several governors and state houses. We need to punish the Republicans for electing Trump and not holding him accountable for his actions.
