A newly elected president who has been fully briefed on a threat to national security, with a thoroughness that included showing him emails and documents obtained from a highly placed Kremlin spy leaking high level documents to our intelligence services, has a 100% obligation to accept and act upon that knowledge, not to mention pursuing it with every intelligence resource at our country's disposal.

It has been spoken by those involved in the briefing that Trump grudgingly admitted that it looked like there was Russian e******n i**********e...

So for Trump during those days when he should have been operating on established facts and US and other nation's intelligence, at least until he had a chance to see other facts that could indicate that this was false information, was directly and blatantly lying to the public every time he said there was no Russian interference.

This is what Nixon was going to get impeached for, the exact thing. Lying to the public and saying that something he was fully aware of was not the case.

This lie has serious consequences, as a result...
*Meaningful investigations have been blocked, why waste time on f**e news and witch hunts, when they weren't it's obstruction
*With real intelligence that shows otherwise it paints a different picture of GOP members who have obviously obstructed investigations
*Now that sensitive facts are starting to come out it becomes way more obvious that there were republicans who were knowingly dealing with Russians and stolen information that was hacked
*Trump talking about what a good thing Wikileaks was looks a lot different, he predicted "leaks"
*It changes his defense of Flynn, Manafort, and others

There is a criminal statute about lying to the public, and I don't think the defense that Trump is a liar, everyone knows it is going to work when it's of this nature from the time he took office. In the Watergate case it had been determined at that time that Nixon could be indicted, he resigned first. It's untested law and may be seen before the Supreme Court, which is why a justice who has already expressed that he feels a president can't be charged or held accountable for anything is not acceptable.

I'm waiting to see how many republicans decide it's time to impeach, and the ones that have something to worry about as far as collusion won't. I'm wondering about the ones that have announced resignations.

Why would they be dismissed? Unless the judge has a serious bias she is already being held without bond because it was apparent she was getting ready to leave the country. She could go to an embassy and be gone, the embassy could send an official embassy vehicle for her and she would be under diplomatic immunity. If a judge were inclined to dismiss or let this go she simply would have been released on bond and she'd be gone.

Russia protects their spies, meanwhile Trump is entertaining whether Putin can talk to eleven people he'd very much like to get his hands on for information on connections to spies that might be under cover in Russia.
