Originally posted by firstfloor View PostFor the avoidance of doubt, I was speaking metaphorically.
Readers and the FBI (actually, it could be the US Secret Service as well ) may rest assured that there is no risk that Mitch McConnell will actually place his foot on Donald Trump’s neck. However, I do mean to point out that Trump only continues in office with Mitch McConnell’s support, and that gives him some leverage that he might not have previously enjoyed.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

You're still my favorite pinko commie leftist loony wacko.
I suspect that Mitch knew already that (as recently reported) Trump takes more notice of his “friend” Putin than his own security services. Even Mitch must be worried, but his timidity is putting the country at risk. This looks like a perfect time to act and he may well be plotting over the Christmas period.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostMitch was around politics LONG before Trump had his eye on the Oval Office ---- let not your heart be troubled, Mitch will do just fine.
If he fails to extract some concession from Trump, for saving his skin, Mitch is going to look weak. It’s because he will not put up a defense, and cannot, but will simply ‘brass’ it out, that he has this temporary power, and risks great humiliation. Once Trump is acquitted, he will be unassailable and more bombastic and vengeful than ever.
The USA will be humiliated because the tyranny will be so spectacularly obvious in Trump’s next term.“I think God, in creating man, somewhat overestimated his ability.” ― Oscar Wilde

Originally posted by rogue06 View PostYou are omitting that unlike the rest of us the President has the right of Executive Privilege. That makes it a whole 'nuther ball game.
Pelosi flipped it around to make it entirely house reliant by going down a path that didn’t require executive cooperation to progress. Making a situation where the executive would now have to turn to the judiciary if they wanted to impede.
Pelosi ain’t just a pretty face it seems.

Originally posted by Watermelon View PostThat would be his defense. I’m just saying that trumps strategy was to impede investigations through court processes, which he is entitled to do. The situation was that congress had to wait for the judiciary to enforce its will on the executive to progress.

Originally posted by Cow Poke View PostJim, that is so incredibly naive. You WISH the economy had nothing to do with this, but since this is POLITICAL, there will be many factors to consider, not the least of which is how the American public views what's going on. Context is important.
