    Why would the problem be limited to those charged? Seems like everyone who voted to set up this system or failed to disclose it when learned of it was complicit in a conspiracy to hide pertinent facts from the public.

    Also, the idea that "they were already elected" is off because most of these politicians are constantly running to keep or upgrade their position.

    Fascinating.

    Seems like a world of difference between saying a candidate broke his/her campaign promise to be ethical and "drain the swamp" and the idea that individual should be impeached or criminally prosecuted.

    If status quo for Congress is to secretly pay hush money (why secret? Protect their reps? Protect their marriages/family? Help re-election? All. Good for trump), their ability to go forward against trump on this ground seems compromised by hyprocisy.

    None of this has to do with any collusion with Russia if it exists, but this pay-off investigation has seemed a tad overzealous to me.

    Trump is a crook and should be in jail, or shot as a traitor.

    the bottom line is that Trump will continue to lie about this to the people of this great country.

    Is this really what will bring Trump down and is he really going to die up there on that hill?

    Will he ever just have a press conference in which he ADMITS to the affairs and subsequent payoffs?

    Wouldn’t this be endearing to his sycophantic followers?


    What else is the President hiding?
