A snake in the grass. He opened up with a lie, never a good start. Anything he says must be taken with a grain of salt. It's a manipulative strategy, I'm willing to bet nothing will come of it. People cry wolf so much that people are getting tired of it, they don't even want to listen. That's no deference for Trump, this lawyer is just as crooked as Trump, maybe even worse? Wonder what he is gaining from this? If it doesn't end with charges, then ultimately it's just another 'wolf cry'. He loses me with he states, 'I'm doing this because I'm sympathetic', give me a break, he is doing it because he is going to benefit from doing it in some kind of way. That doesn't mean everything he says is untrue, but he will definitely beef up the truth and make some up on the way.

All this is, is a huge show, corrupt powers battling it out for wealth and dominance. Trump is just as guilty as all the others. Our entire congressional oversight is an insult to all Americans. It's getting too sickening to even watch IMO. I lost faith with the whole Hillary hearing, she broke a lot of laws and paid no price, a testament to how the entire system is a failure, it's been heavily infiltrated by corrupt individuals, very possibly beyond the point of repair. All I can say is, grab some popcorn and enjoy the show :wink:

But you can't deny that he is about to go to prison for a crime that the president directed him to do, Trump's been openly named as being the "Individual 1" in Michael Cohen's prosecution for that crime.

This country is now run by the mob just like Russia.

None of us are scared of Russia just like Russia isn't scared of us. This is about honesty, not inside out neo-McCarthyist liberal delusions.

The witch hunt never was. This is what we in the civilized world know as litigation.

I fear, for the sake of your country, that you might be correct in this assessment.

These are very troubled times for American democracy.

I can't deny that they are all crooks. If someone were to leak information detailing that everyone who was present during that hearing had committed multiple crimes, the only shocking thing would be that the American public was allowed to hear it.

Isaiah Cummings who's chairing the committee has had a commendable personal history, starting with his civil rights activism. AOC, and other newbies there so far seem to be free from being stained by DC.

Cummings is crooked, I watched him try to protect hillary also. He claimed repeatedly that it was wrong and a waste of time to look into hillary before, during and after the hillary hearing, being it was extremely obvious to anyone who watched that she was guilty of many wrong doings and lied under oath, yea, I would say Cummings is most definitely no innocent individual.

Protect Hilary? It was proven by more than one Republican investigation that there was nothing to protect her from! If you want a real smear campaign, look at how the Republicans tried to find dirt on Clinton that just wasn't there.

The Republicans could not find anything on the Clintons because IMHO

They concentrated on the salacious stuff and ignored the boring stuff, the things that take time, effort, attention to detail and imaginatiion to find. The democrates kind of have been doing the same thing with Russia collusion. The New York prosecutors seem to not be making that mistake. By the way a presidential pardon only covers Federal Crimes. Trump can not pardon himself for any crimes the New York Attorney General convicts him of.

The Clintons are smart in the ways of hiding stuff, finding and taking advantage of loopholes and going to but not crossing lines of both illegality and bring attention to thier misdeads.

Yeah, you're probably right. That's why she lied under oath and tried to destroy evidence, because she had nothing to hide?? She only reason she got away with it is because Comey helped/protected her. He didn't let anybody else work on the case, everyone could easily see he is just as corrupt as her. I don't want to hear anymore about Trump if people can't even admit hillary is dirty. That's straight up just pickin a side to defend. Trump is a crook, hillary is a bigger crook.

Clinton was investigated over the Republicans Benghazi fetish multiple times, and there just isn't a "there" there.
The last investigation into emails? Even Trumps people are guilty of that in the current White House. It may have been a dumb move, but it was hardly criminal.
Clinton is more corrupt than Trump? Hard to beat Trumps record as a dirty businessman over the years. Then there's the whole matter of getting Putins help with the last Presidential election.
Comey in fact steered away from Trumps Russian connection for fear that he'd be accused of siding with Clinton, thereby getting Trump in the White House.

The Putin thing is a conspiracy theory, Trump and wiki leaks are not connected. Wiki leaks has released dirt on Trump also. What hillary did wasn't just carelessness, and it was illegal, just like lieing under oath is illegal, just like trying to destroy evidence when in an FBI investigation is illegal, crooked Comey already stated " that's not to suggest that anyone else who would have did similar things would not face criminal charges", translation, if anyone other than hillary did the same thing they would face criminal charges. IT's no different than suggesting she didn't mean to rob the bank, so it's ok.

All kinds of people have been trying to nail Trump for a collusion with Russia that is non-existent, if they had any real evidence he would have been nailed by now. What they keep doing is claiming they have evidence, yet nothing ever happens, no FBI investigation has came up with anything, on the flip side many of things have came out to suggest there is no connection at all. Russia didn't elect Trump, voters did, and the idea that his base is racist people is yet another conspiracy theory pushed by left wing media.

The thing about Trump----he's just not classy. He throws people who were loyal to him under the bus on a regular basis.

Not that I LIKED Jeff Sessions.....but Sessions was loyal to Trump---and look where it got him!

We need a leader who can take advice from others without going off the deep end.
