    Trump doesn't have to do quid-pro-quos with foreign governments no more. Grassley gives him an investigation for free. I guess it's the sweet deal Trump gets for not running his mouth too much during the impeachment. Can someone check on Kushner's records while checking the Hunter files? Sounds like congress doesn't care about the level of distrust Americans have for that institution, when they are doing political retribution investigations.

    I'll pass them along (she will say she has other reasons than your advances). Though I hope I am not sensing hurt feelings, I'd hate that unrequited would cause you any distress...

    Oh, here is that senator susan collins, showing what stern stuff her integrity is made of...

    Sen. Collins says retribution after impeachment acquittal would not be appropriate
    Maine's Republican senator defended her vote not to impeach President Trump but said she'll continue to challenge him when appropriate.

    What about the supposed autonomy of the FBI that is supposed to mitigate the risk of politically-motivated investigations (or abstention from investigations)? I don't think it's appropriate for a Cabinet member to exercise operational control over the FBI to this level.

    This decision is probably one of the most morally weighty decisions he will ever make in his whole life.

    Yeah, but he'll get away with that too.

    Trump will continue his scorched earth policy, anyone who had anything to do with the negative implications will feel the wrath of Over Lord Trump. Bring on the 2020 elections so we can vote this clown out of office..........even though part of me feels like he will be reelected and the Republicans will become even more of a group of douche bags

    And just what did the department of defense say re: retaliation against Col Vindman (fired, escorted from WH) and Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Cooper (who is being transferred away from her job)...

    The White House was already saying they intended to dramatically shrink the NSC staff size. Hard to fathom they'd keep the Vindman brothers and let other people go, right or wrong. They won't be in the bread line though. They'll still work for DoD.

    I'm guessing you are not planning to read Bolton's book, eh? Worrying about the lights.. lol. Go donate to the green party's nominee, instead of the incessant complaining that a thread you don't like exists in the hangout forum.

    “In Russia, my act of expressing my concerns to the chain of command in an official and private channel would have severe personal and professional repercussions and offering public testimony involving the president would surely cost me my life,” he said.
    Addressing his father, Vindman concluded his statement by saying that “you made the right decision 40 years ago to leave the Soviet Union and come here to the United States of America in search of a better life for our family.”
    "Do not worry, I will be fine for telling the truth,"


    - Purple Heart recipient, Army Colonel, Vindman


    Something to think about for all those who, in their mind, excuse political retributions and politically driven repressions of opposition by the party in power. (eg what Trump was doing to his likely opponent, Biden)

    People like Vindman die for our democratic ways and y'all condone Trump trampling on those values.

    My bad. I thought since the impeachment is complete and the outcome was acquittal we could move on to other things. I assume most will. But if you feel this topic deserves more attention, then knock yourself out!

    But if you ARE That last person in the thread....will you get the lights? Thanks man.

    Are you suggesting a new thread for all of Trump's threats and actual acts of retaliation? That might be a good idea.

    Believe me, our POTUS will keep this going much longer than any liberal. The man never met a butt-hurt or insecurity or criticism he could recover from.

    We could create a a general trump corruption thread, but there are post limits and we'd run out of storage...
