I really hope these people aren't holding their breaths that something will happen as a result of all these "investigations". Two years from now they'll still be saying "we're just a shred of evidence from getting Trump impeached!!"

attacking a source rather than the actual underlying discussion is a dodge, in this case attacking the source of a source. maybe that's a double dodge.

Oh, for fuck's sake....he's now done it using the official @POTUS account.

If he deletes that Tweet, he's in violation of federal records retention laws.


Trump doesn't seem to realize that his White House leaks all the time.

some anti-trump huffpost guy hypothesizing that 'a tweet is witness tampering'..........you surely can't be serious. that's as worth taking serious as a non-alcoholic beer.

many of them breathe manually so it's possible, i share your sentiment and hope that they are not.

Well, when you have people like Mitch McConnell, Devin Nunes and Richard Burr actively impeding the investigation, it takes longer to get to the actual truth.

i could post "lol breitbart" on everything i disagree with as well, instead i read the site on a daily basis to better understand a large group of gullible unintelligent plebs. I read huffpost for the same reason.

i didnt say you were wrong about the context of his accusation, just that you dodged. I'm not sure tweeting has any real precedent for witness tampering, perhaps there's a usable precedent with some hood level facebook threats against a witness. Either way this doesnt seem to fall into the illegal category, just a stupid and unnecessary thing to say in order to distract his base from the large hurdles he's flopping over.

lmao witness tampering. There has to be desperate levels of salt involved in concocting such an accusation.
How is anyone supposed to take the russiaburger seriously and not see it as a partisan witch hunt designed to delegitimize Trump if they go screaming that Trump is supposedly committing a felony by mocking yates on twitter? When their case against Trump seems to fall back on "Trump colluded with Russia by publicly asking Putin to release Hillary's emails at a campaign rally~!" and "Trump is intimidating yates by mocking her on twitter~!", you know they've got a weak hand for their circus. I guess the real advice to future strategists to learn from this failure is that if you're going to try to make a media circus out of peanuts, don't try it against a carnival barker

think i agree with excellence and goomshill for once
we're getting a little to close to boy-who-cried-wolf territory
i want to see trump crash and burn more than i care to admit, but even i find myself just ignoring all these stories now, some of which are probably legitimate and important news
