Trump die-hard loyalists cite the top and ignore the bottom
Absolutely excellent article – hard to dispute Charles
Blow’s assumptions all built on facts to date – whole article here (NY TIMES via MSN).
Introduction:
“I no longer
think that anyone in America, including Donald Trump’s most loyal supporters,
can afford to put off the consideration of the central question of this
administration: What if Donald Trump or those closest to him were compromised
by the Russians or colluded with them?
“There have
always been those of us on the left who viewed his presidency as compromised,
asterisk-worthy if not wholly illegitimate, because of the Russian
interference.
“A crime had
been committed by Russia and Trump cheered the crime and used the loot thereof
to advance his candidacy. That is clear.
“The
Russians made repeated attempts to contact people in Trump’s orbit and in some
cases were able to meet with members of the team, as evidenced by the Trump Tower meeting.
That is clear.
“Members of
Trump’s team were extremely interested in and eager to accept any assistance
that the Russians could provide. That is clear.
“And since
assuming office, Trump has openly attempted to obstruct justice and
damage or impede the investigation into what the Russians did and whether
anyone in his orbit was part of the crime. That too is clear.”
Noteworthy
and I add this story from the Washington Post via MSN – with this headlines:
“Trump says Michael Cohen deserves a ‘full
and
complete’ sentence”
The “Fixer” just got the “Shaft”
Noteworthy is the Trump early
morning tweet regarding Cohen and possible jail time:
“You mean he can
do all of the TERRIBLE, unrelated to Trump, things having to do with fraud, big
loans, Taxis, etc., and not serve a long prison term? He makes up stories to
get a GREAT & ALREADY reduced deal for himself. ... He lied for this
outcome and should, in my opinion, serve a full and complete sentence.”

George Conway@gtconway3d
File under “18
U.S.C. §§ 1503, 1512”
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
That tweet rebuttal is very noteworthy since it was made
by George Conway, Kellyanne Conway’s husband – and she is Trump's senior
advisor.
Her hubby is in essence telling the world that Trump
is violating the law cited here from Cornell Law: “18 U.S. Code § 1503: Influencing or injuring officer or juror
generally” and this cited from the DOJ here the same 18 U.S. Code § 1512 “Tampering with victims, witnesses, or
informants.”
My bottom line today: Trump has to be removed from office –
ASAP would be just fine.
Thanks for
stopping by.
