No, I don't know of many patriots pushing the obstruction angle. Lots of people on the left have, for sure, but not patriots. Further...it wasn't one of the original points. That's still a fact.

I do, and it still won't change the fact that obstruction wasn't one of the original points. How can I know this? Because the Russian collusion conspiracy was in play even before the election. So far, the only person that we have actual solid evidence of obstruction of justice was Hillary when she destroyed 33K emails by using special software to wipe clean hard drives and smashed multiple devices.
 

Did you read the article? It's from one month after the appointment of the Special Counsel. Also, I specifically argued that the firing of Comey was obstruction of justice the same week....probably the same day...that the firing happened. Obstruction of justice was always on the table.

You're wrong, but it's okay to be wrong. We're all wrong now and again. Just...walk away.
 

Trump fired Comey before he was President? Wow...I didn't know that.

Huh? Are you drinking? What the hell are you talking about? Yes, Trump was President when he fired Comey.

And this CT of Russian collusion predates that.

The obstruction of justice goes back to the firing of Comey. Trump was President when he fired Comey. You claimed it was a brand new goal post, and I showed you that it wasn't. That it was, in fact, a major point of the investigation as early as one month after the appointment of the special counsel. And now you're going on about collusion.

Are you okay? Are you running a temperature? You're style is to be more trollish, less incoherent, and right now I'm concerned for your well being.

Well, I think Trump should resign because he is a bad president. But if someone didn’t think he should resign before the Mueller report I don’t see much reason they should change their mind now.

Surely you're not serious?

To allow someone slightly more fit to take the reigns.

I'm no fan of Pence -- he's his own kind of "crazy" -- but I'll take Pence over Trump any day, if only because I know Pence can read and write at least as well as a high school sophomore, and I'm confident he isn't senile.

You are so right. If we do nothing, we're about to see an era that combines the worst of the Eaton Affair, Whiskey Ring, Teapot Dome, Tammany Hall, Corrupt Bargain, Iran Contra, Watergate, and Lincolnesque (Lincoln won but 40% of the popular vote), Jeffersonian, Taftish, Kennedyesque, Trumpian and Jacksonian elections.

Why don't you ever know what you're talking about?

LOL! Coming from an admitted lifelong Marxist like you, that doesn't really carry any weight.
 

but Pence wasnt elected as President

Trump was....if the general public wanted Pence, they would have made him the candidate, not Trump

Go back....look at my posts....i am not a Trump fan....but i am a rule of law fan

if the dems want to try to impeach that is up to them, but they know that is DOA before it even starts

there is nothing actionable for the DOJ at this point for Trump or his family....i guess we will see on the NY cases, but my guess will be same there

So let nature take its course, and we see who the dems put up against him in 2020....it better be someone a LOT better than Hillary

Otherwise if the economy is still rolling, we probably get another term of Trump

As with every other post to which I on DP reply, my comments have only to do with the post(s) to which I respond. Everything else you may have shared, in this thread or elsewhere, and that isn't part of the specifically traceable line of discourse between you and me is, for any given current conversation, irrelevant to me. Yours and my current specifically traceable line of discourse is shown above.


Pink:
Voters most certainly did want Pence, and that they did is evinced by the fact that they indicated so when they cast their ballot for Trump-Pence. They did so, in accordance with the 12th Amendment.



Let me tell you whom voters did not want: Voters did not want every single person whose name didn't appear on a ballot or whose name no voter wrote-in on their ballot.

I think perhaps you've confused or conflated the prioritization of wants with the existence and acknowledgement of wants.

I think too you are naive to the US Constitution, or at least Article II, Section I and the 12th Amendment of it, the process of electing presidents and vice presidents, and the workings of electoral college.
  1. Voters' votes in the presidential election serve only to inform their state electors how they, the voters, would have the electors cast ballots for POTUS and VPOTUS, as per whatever guidelines the respective voters' states have stipulated. (Consult the respective states' election laws to learn what stipulations each state has.)
  2. Electors, in turn, cast two votes and thus elect two individuals: the POTUS and VPOTUS.
    • "[The Electors] shall name in their ballots the person voted for as President, and in distinct ballots the person voted for as Vice-President, and they shall make distinct lists of all persons voted for as President, and of all persons voted for as Vice-President."
      -- US Constitution, 12th Amendment
Simply put, a vote for whomever one wants for POTUS is every bit as much a vote for someone as VPOTUS. If one doesn't want a given VPOTUS nominee emplaced, and that not-wanting is to one more important than is one's wanting the POTUS nominee's inauguration, one must then either abstain, write in someone, or choose another of the pre-printed candidate pairs. One's doing so is one's business/choice, and it's a matter of priorities -- priorities driven and ranked by "God and the voter only know what" -- among wants and "not-wants."

It may surprise you too to learn that a POTUS cannot fire a VPOTUS. A POTUS cannot because, like the POTUS, the VPOTUS was independently elected, and thus does not serve "at the pleasure of the president."


Tan:
That is absolutely not so. The OLC opinion is just that, a departmental opinion. The DoJ can unilaterally rescind it.
Aside:
Also, Congress can, if enough members vote so, outlaw the DoJ OLC's presidential-non-prosecutability opinion. I can't say that'd result in the DoJ filing charges, but such a law would make it possible to do so. (I'm sure there're plenty of things Nancy can trade with Mitch and Kevin in exchange for a veto-proof vote on such a measure. The question is whether she'd do so. Mitch and Kevin would almost certainly be open to such an exchange for it's a political win-win for them.)

​

Teal:
NY is not subject to or bound by the DoJ OLC opinion. The Southern District of New York (SDNY) is; however, the SDNY is part of the DoJ. Though not all DoJ matters are SDNY ones, all SDNY matters are DoJ matters.

You Lost and Trump won. You have Zip Zero evidence that Trump and all Americans had anything to do with Russia collusion..

Your right about that, Putin does have his nose under YOUR tent. Further you would not catch me being even close to some Liberal tent.

But this is a good reminder of you liberals kissing Putin's ass.

I had to correct your mucked up quoting.

You're doing what the Far Out Right always does as a part of dissing Obama. You're going back seven years to a factual statement OB made about the election and about relations with Russia. What the American Right liked about Putin's 2012 return to the presidency was that word was out Putin was the new nationalist conservative rightist leader of Europe and the USA. So the Right praised Putin to the high heavens for his leadership muscle, his arbitrary actions and his control over polonium among other mortal poisons.

Republicans / Conservatives sang Putin's praises between 2012 and 2016 then suddenly went silent on Putin once Trump bumbled out as a candidate in mid 2015. Then you guys forgot about Putin, or so you wanted the rest of us to believe. Well it's the opposite as no one over here believes a word you guys say about Putin. And few if any over here accept your silence on Putin as either happenstance or because you believe Putin minds his own business. Putin's business is your business because you admire and worship him while for me Putin's business is my business because I oppose his attacks against the United States.

You guys are frantic in support of Trump because you know that if you lose Trump you lose your hero Putin. No successor to Trump of either party or ideology will belong to Putin the way Trump belongs to Putin. It would crush you guys who want the USA to be more like Putin's Russia than the other way around.

Trump is president.
