[W:273]Trump makes yet another false claim about California voter fraud

Have you looked at the two documents? I suppose I could go and copy and post the impeachment document next to the relevant parts of the Mueller report for your review. Why bother? You seem to be a Fifth Avenue Trump supporter. Do your own homework and tell silly me what the difference is between the two.

I am so sorry that you hate this President so much that you would put the country through an impeachment process that isn't going to remove him from office as there is no evidence of a high crime and misdemeanor regardless of your trumped up charges, over 63 million Americans voted for him and he will be re-elected again in spite of your hatred.
 
So I should ignore Trump’s rhetoric about ***** grabbing and focus on what? That he appointed a woman communications director? If the man treats women with abuse, he’s a low life. Would you introduce him to your sister?

I would as I don't see any relevant here as he is President of the United States and doing a great job as the results show. Rhetoric seems to only hurt people like you as there was no action to support that rhetoric.

My hatred for how Trump divides us with insults and lies has nothing to do with the similarity between Mueller’s language and the language in the Nixon impeachment articles that I was suggesting people look at. Sorry you missed the point.

I missed nothing as your double standard is on full display. Did you support the Impeachment of Clinton? what is the difference between Clinton and Trump? Clinton lied under Oath, Trump committed no impeachable offense as actions always speak louder than words.

Didn’t support the impeachment of Clinton, as though he was a cad, you are supposed to lie about sex.

I suggested that Trump’s acts of apparent obstruction as described by Mueller are similar to Nixon’s as described in the impeachment articles. Perhaps you can point out the difference, but I was applying the same standard for Nixon and Trump. No double standard. Double impeachment, perhaps.

This is why you have zero credibility, lying under oath is a violation of his oath of office and undermines the entire legal system. Doesn't matter the subject as he subjected himself to the testimony under oath. No you aren't applying the same standard nor do I care any more as you are nothing but a partisan liberal hack whose double standard is on full display.

Really? You took my joke about Clinton seriously? Forget Clinton, tho with respect to lying under oath you might remember Trump’s lawyer’s reporter hesitancy about allowing him to testify because he was worried he would lie.

My (in my view) legit comparison was similarities between Nixon and Trump, the articles of impeachment and the Mueller report, no more. I invite you to examine the two documents and tell me the differences in the respective behaviors.

And if Clinton hadn't testified under oath he wouldn't have broken the law. For some reason rhetoric by the President bothers you even though he had the authority to fire Mueller but didn't do it nor did he fire anyone for not adhering to what you claim was an order.

"Each time he was approached, McGahn responded that he would not refute the press accounts because they were accurate in reporting on the president's efforts to have the Special Counsel removed." So says the Mueller report. He didn't do it but not for want of trying.

But let's let you decide: do you think Trump wanted to fire Mueller? Do you think he told someone to get rid of him. At the very least it seems it was something like King Henry and Thomas a Beckett, "Won't somebody rid me of this troublesome priest?"

And of course rhetoric by the president bothers me. Most recent favorite bothers: "She's not my type," as a response to a rape allegation. Asked why migration is up, he responds that it is because the US economy has improved under him. Noted that migration had been down when he took office because the US economy was not good beforehand. Migration up, credit Trumps good work. Migration down, blame Obama. Got love the guy. Even when it is obviously not about The Donald, he insists it's all about him.

What efforts?? Trump had the authority so it wouldn't take "much effort" to get rid of Mueller. You think that delegating that to someone else removes the responsibility from Trump? You are reaching here because that is what you want to believe. No action taken, no obstruction regardless of what you want to believe simply because that was within Trump's authority and telling someone else to take action that didn't happen will never hold up on Court.

In addition you do realize that Impeachment doesn't remove Trump from office but it will motivate his base and the American people benefiting from the economic results generated. Bring it on and watch the Senate refuse to act and Trump gets four more years? There isn't a reason to vote for a Democrat and only hard liners like you believe differently as your party stands for and offers the American people NOTHING!! You want an American Idol President based solely on personality. I look forward to voting for Trump again because the alternative is much, much worse for the American people

Every Time Democrats Talk, I Want To Vote For Trump Twice

We’ll have to wait and see what McGahn says. The analogy I heard from a lawyer was that if you trip a cop who is chasing a crook, yet he still catches the guy, you are still guilty of obstruction. Also believe it’s fairly clear that Mueller’s report showed that Trump obstructed justice, with 10 or so instances mentioned. You are welcome to read that part of the report and believe otherwise.

As to the president I want, he doesn’t have to be Mr. Rogers, but at the very least I don’t want him insulting women, and trying to create fear of blacks, Mexicans or Muslims. I don’t want a president enamored of torture and who suggests that the military commit war crimes. The only advantage with Trump is like any other school yard bully he backs down more than he follows through.

Keep up with those talking points and keep ignoring what I post. None of what you claim shows that you have any understanding of leadership, Trump didn't fire Mueller and if he told someone else to do it still no actions were taken and the supposed person he told this to wasn't fired. One more time, do you understand that Impeachment doesn't remove Trump from office? What is the purpose since there is no chance of succeeding in that Democratic hate plan since there was no high crime and misdemeanor.

Tho I think there were pretty obvious crimes, and also obvious was Mueller not exonerating Trump by any means, I don’t think impeachment is a good idea since, as you suggest, it won’t go anywhere. If more evidence comes to light, however, key republicans may change their minds.

That is your opinion, pretty "obvious" crimes and yet Don, Jr wasn't indicted. You still don't understand authority vs accountability do you? I don't see the crimes you apparently see but then again you are biased and partisan basing your decision almost solely on Trump's personality not the facts. what more evidence? How many years of investigations are good enough for you? We have an election coming up and that will determine what the American people think. As of now the Trump results will lead to re-election and the fact that Democrats offer nothing of values other than class envy, jealousy, hate rhetoric. That doesn't resonate with what still is a silent majority

Simple question: what is your view of the several instances of obstruction in the Mueller report? As to Don JR., he’ll go down as the guy who doesn’t call the FBI when Russians contact him. And please, Trump had retired the Hate Rhetoric Trophy, having won the gold several times for his Central Park Five ads, his Mexican rapists kickoff to his campaign, his Muslim siggestion, and his lying about black crime.

Sorry can't see what isn't there. Nothing illegal for a candidate or officials of the candidate to meet with a foreign gov't. Did Russia change your vote?? Of course not, didn't change mine either. Why exactly would Russian want Trump in the WH and what did they get with his election?? Stronger NATO, Stronger U.S. Military, Stronger U.S. economy OR is it what you are giving them chaos and doubt?
 
On May 11, 2017 Trump created the Presidential Advisory Commission on Election Integrity to unearth supposed mass-voter fraud in the 2016 election. Trump appointed Chris Kobach to lead the investigation.

The commission was quietly disbanded by Trump in January 2018 without issuing a report. The bogus election fraud claims made by Kobach [and supported by Trump] had been exposed in court.
 
The problem is not just that trump lies about this, or just when it suits the hour as many politicians do, but that he lies about absolutely everything. He has a poor grasp of the truth. Perhaps he's been so rich and spoiled all his life he has come to believe the truth is whatever he says it is. He should have been ousted under the 25th at least 18 months ago. He is unstable and disconnected from reality.

Of course then we'd have to deal with a Pence Theocracy, but as evil as that would be (and I mean it) at least there would be a return to some degree of sanity.

But Trump lives in a fantasy land and demands his followers do the same. 60 million people all sharing the same delusion. Jim Jones must be smiling down from heaven.

You’d have to ask Putin what he wants from Trump. He obviously did not like Hillary cause she criticized his election among other things. He might have liked Trump cause Trump said Russia was not in Ukraine, due to Trump’s investments, etc. I assume that the brass ring for Vlad would have been Trump’s lifting of sanctions, but no way could Trump get away with that once the cat (bear) was out of the bag.

It is indeed illegal for candidates to solicit or receive help from a foreign government. As the FEC chair put it in an apparent warning to Trump, “I would not have thought that I needed to say this... It is illegal for any person to solicit, accept, or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a US election. This is not a novel concept.” You can choose to believe that the Russians wanted to discuss foreign adoptions as the Trumps said. After all, rules and reality don’t apply on Fifth Avenue, even if Trump were to shoot someone there.

As to chaos, I’m with the prophet Jeb Bush, we have had chaos at airports following the inauguration, chaos on the border last year and this, chaos with our allies on the Iran treaty, and we are the only country in the world that disagrees with voluntary plans on climate change the Paris agreement called for. Then again, presumably those with Trump on Fifth Ave think climate change was a fraud invented by the Chinese.

To be fair, thanks to John McCain we have avoided chaos in health care. The night(mare) is young, however, as we still await Trump’s new improved cheaper plan.
 
As usual you don't have any answers as there was absolutely no benefit whatsoever to Russia for trump getting an office other than the chaos they you radicals are promoting.

Trump has done absolutely nothing to hurt you, your family, or the country as the actual results show! You really need to get over your trump hatred and stop letting personality get in the way of being objective with regards to results.

There was no Russian interference in the election, there was Russian propaganda, propaganda that occurs in every election but for some reason you can't get over the loss of an election and here we are over 2 years later

Speaking of letting personal feelings get in the way of objective discussion, I would follow my own advice, in red.

This is patently untrue. The Russians tried hacking, propaganda, cyberwarfare, reaching out to candidates, psy-ops, the whole lot.

Russian interference in the 2016 United States elections - Wikipedia

The wiki page lists 511 sources. It is extremely well documented, features in the Mueller report, which is not all about Trump, and is corroborated by all US intel agencies as well as a number of foreign ones.

The Russians interfered in 2016, likely influenced the outcome, attempted to do so in 2018 and will try again in 2020.

Not a lot of difference in what we do in elections all over the world but Obama's chief administration official claimed that no voting machines were hacked and quite frankly it doesn't mean of hill of beans now, should we be given Russia a big thank you for the results that trump is generated

That is the Trumpist position in a nutshell: Yeah Russia had nothing to do with it! By the way, thanks for the help, Russia!"

Reminds me of: "I had nothing to do Russia helping me to get elected."
