Haven't you heard? Trump wins the award for corrupting the American justice system. Freaking out about it will not help him.

Oh, do tell how the President has accomplished your claim, or are you a hollow troll?

Trump Twitter attack on Sessions and Justice is most serious impeachment fodder yet

That’s it. Line crossed.

It came Monday when President Donald Trump tweeted: “Two long running, Obama era, investigations of two very popular Republican Congressmen were brought to a well publicized charge, just ahead of the Mid-Terms, by the Jeff Sessions Justice Department. Two easy wins now in doubt because there is not enough time. Good job Jeff......”

In other words, President Trump is now angry that Attorney General Sessions did not put party politics ahead of enforcing the law. He thinks that the Justice Department should have suppressed the charges against Reps. Chris Collins of New York and Duncan H****r of California because bringing those charges might cost Republicans two safe House seats.

This is exactly what the rule of law does not look like.

When it comes to enforcing the law, it should be — and, up until now, it has been — completely irrelevant whether a politician was “popular” or “Republican,” how close it was to the midterms or even whether the target of the investigation was going to have an “easy win.” The Justice Department carries out its investigations with all deliberate speed and files criminal charges as appropriate, all without giving any consideration as to who might be helped and who might be hindered by the impartial enforcement of the laws.

How has the President taken faith from the people about their county governments? When Comey reopened the Hillary investigation most if not all Democrats said he was not impartial about his investigation. As for President Trump the Democrats were against him from the get go. When for years they wanted anything they could get from Trump, but now that he is a Republican he is the scum of the earth. Such hypocrisy from you people on the left. Now you are v****g socialists into your party, such foolishness. That only shows that there are no true Democrats left in "the party of the people". They should call themselves the socialist/radical party.

You are right in one sense. The Justice Dept. was great before the Obama administration used it for their own attack dog to go after President Trump. So were they when enforcing the law about classified information on a personal server then jail a sailor for having an image of a control panel on a sub, on his cell phone? That seems like a d******e disservice to all government people. One way for a prominent political figure then another for a normal type of American.

Somewhere I picked out the word "fodder," opinions are like onion rings, most people still have one. You folks have drawn so many Obama-lines in the proverbial sand, that you've worked your marker sticks to a nub. Do you folks "feel" that the President had something to do with Avenatti assaulting that poor lady too? If so, draw a big ol line for that too.

You made two posts..

when the heck did anyone with integrity want anything from trump??

he was scum when he was in high school, he has never been anything but a con man..

The sailor?? your dont know about him??

Saucier faced a sentence of 51/2 to 61/2 years, but Underhill said after hearing hours of argument and evidence Friday that Saucier's actions were more in the nature of a terrible lapse of judgment than they were an effort to undermine national defense.

The prosecution said Saucier took 12 highly sensitive photographs — including two from inside the Alexandria's reactor department — with a cellphone camera and held on to them for years. Collectively, the prosecution said the photographs show the ship's entire reactor-powered propulsion system and reveal, in close-up, key design elements. The images are said to show the ship's location when they were taken, and a console indicating maximum dive depth, a closely guarded secret.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Vanessa Richards said one of the photographs could have enabled a foreign power to reverse-engineer the Alexandria's nuclear reactor.

The prosecutors said Saucier later obstructed an investigation by lying to U.S. Navy and FBI investigators and destroying evidence, including a laptop computer, a camera and a computer memory card.

Without the digital equipment, prosecutors said the FBI and Navy were unable to determine "to any degree of certainty if the information had been distributed or otherwise c*********d." Still, prosecutors said investigators uncovered indications of a plan to distribute the images.

They said the sequence and subject of the photos, taken between January and July 2009, suggest Saucier may have used the earliest images to demonstrate to some other party that he had access to sensitive shipboard systems. They said the compression of one photograph was typical of it having been t***smitted. Saucier also had become disillusioned with the Navy, they said.

But do not feel bad for the sailor, your criminal loving orange dick head pardoned him..

Gosh, do you people ever get tired of finding excuses for a 3rd generation criminal????

Now from a good friend who I have never met.. was posted to some forum but she sent me this version, never saw the post..

You are mistaken, Jack. Trump has so far done nothing for his base either other than toss them red meat. In fact his tariff ploy is hurting his base. That was predictable. Retaliate against Trump where he is vulnerable.

Yes, US companies are telling us Trump is doing them damage, and Americans are losing their jobs. Trump is not smart enough to be messing with tariffs.

Trump is an accomplished flim-flam man and now that he’s in politics he is a typical populist. He uses all the old well worn populist tools: scapegoating immigrants and refugees, creating enemies where before there were none, exaggerations, even lies, all for the purpose of manipulating vulnerable people who want to believe him because they are desperate.

The really sad thing is that Trump’s base is right. It is understandable that they are very angry, and it’s clear who they are angry at. They v**ed for Trump because he was the only candidate in the P**********l e******n that was not a politician. And they v**ed for him because he promised to drain the swamp in Washington D.C.

Unfortunately for those people, Trump is not the right man for the job. That does not discount their reasons. They have been screwed badly by a government run by people who do not care.

Trump appoints Whitaker to end Russia probe...?? So...?? Mueller and his team of incompetents should have never been employed. Its d**ggin out so long because everytime they turn over a rock, there's the DNC with its hands dirty.. Maybe focus on Seth Rich. How come nobody could ever say why he was k**led...(murdered..?) The DNC hack has already been proven to have been an inside job, according to the FBI's own investigation the information was stolen on a thumb drive..

Why did Hillary and Mueller and Obama skate scott free over the UraniumOne deal...??

Why did Obama and Mueller skate scott free over the Project Pelican / Port Canaveral deal...??

How is it that the Clinton Foundation can lose over $345 Million and nobody can ask a question over it..??

How did the Clinton's get $145 Million donation from Frank Guistra and Russia, yet a month later nobody can ask a question about it. Especially ,,,....did they pay income tax on it like everyone else is REQUIRED to...??

Nobody seems to notice Obama and Hillary were in Bed with Russia long before Trump showed up, but no one is allowed to point that out.... Why..??

OOOH come on trucker... do not tell us you are still trying on those lies..

after long multi investigations and millions of dollars all concluded that the lies are nothing but LIES>>

Every time Trump opens his mouth "against" one of our government offices, he discredits them, he discredits us, and he plants the seed of mistrust for the American people Not to trust them and that my friend hurts all of us. If we can't trust our homeland securities from Intel to defense, how are other countries to trust us also, especially when by now everyone knows him as a liar? Jesus, look at what he just did with Finnland. He lies when there's no reason to lie, he's a pathological liar. Do you trust the people near to you to constantly lie to you, how about lying at all?

Anyone with any sense could see what type of person he was during his campaign, so yeah I guess people were against him from the get-go. His lies started then and have never stopped. Especially for people from New York, which I happen to be. His opinion of himself has always been quite different from others, but he's always been a pufferfish.

Quote "When for years they took wh**ever they could get from him", really, that's not what I recall. Sounds like he has you folks pitching his little victim song. Trump's a taker, always has been, a con man, at this point I don't know what it takes for you righty's to stop following him like he's the pied piper. He's leading you down the faux golden path.

There's no hypocrisy here.

You need to stop absorbing the socialist corporate propaganda, the Democrats are not your enemy, though that is what they'd like you to believe in order to divide and conquer. We Dems and independents like to make money just as much as the next guy, you can be sure of that, no monks living here.

We are the party of the people , that's why we can't tolerate Trump, and if you're not in that 2% or not relying on your dividends, you shouldn't be either.

Morgan

There is NO Obama administration when president Trump WAS and IS President Trump, geeez your tripping over your conspiracies again. Are you beginning to fall apart like Trump? You do know these guys feed you lies, right?

Louie27 Loc: Peoria, AZ

I guess I misstated what I posted. The FBI and other agencies attempted to get Trump, while he was campaigning for President, that is when the wheels were set in motion and continued after he became President. If there was no problem with the FBI investigation, then why have so many, that have either been removed of retired during the last 1 to two years? If they hadn't done something illegal they wouldn't have been fired or removed from office. But I guess, to you, that is just a lie by the right. It seems many on the left will not realize when someone on their side has done improper and illegal things and gets caught with their hand in the cookie jar, they believe that is inconsequential and no fault of theirs, just propaganda by the right.

Bad Bob Loc: Virginia

I guess most of trump's cabinet got caught with their hands in the cookie jar.

Nothing to do with the Trump campaign or Trump Presidency. Just your false hope!
