Donald Trump admits 'this Russia thing' part of reasoning for firing James Comey
52 replies, posted
[quote] [URL="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/donaldtrump"]Donald Trump[/URL] has said he was thinking of “this Russia thing” when he decided James Comey’s fate – contradicting the White House rationale that he fired the FBI director for mishandling the Clinton email investigation.Comey had been leading an investigation into possible collusion between Trump advisers and Russian officials when he was dismissed by the president. Defending that decision in an interview on NBC News on Thursday, Trump said: “And, in fact, when I decided to just do it, I said to myself, I said: ‘You know, this Russia thing with Trump and [URL="https://www.theguardian.com/world/russia"]Russia[/URL] is a made up story, it’s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should’ve won.’”

Trump again goes back on his and his offices word. How many more lies does it take before people completely loose trust in the guy?
So he's independently confirmed he's corrupt as fuck. nice.
Can he be impeached already? no?
I guess we'll wait for a pic of him sucking Putin's cock while being golden showered before the republicans drop him like a hot potato or something :downs:
if ever there were a man who was his own archenemy
"it’s an excuse by the Democrats for having lost an election that they should’ve won.’”
WHAT THE FUCK
He shoots himself in the foot and licks the wounds.

WHAT THE FUCK[/QUOTE]
It's like even he's like "wtf I wasn't supposed to win"
Isn't that acting with intent to impede or stop an investigation? Can we please kick him from office now?

Along with everyone complicit who is in his administration.
Lock him up?
why the FUCK would be even admit that holy shit
I imagine someone in the White House screamed when they saw this clip. To put so much work into covering a feckless moron's tracks, only to have him turn around and burn you (and himself in the process) in order to show the world what a [I][U]boss[/U][/I] he is.
Did he legit just blackmail a former FBI director over twitter? Is this real life?
I can't believe he just blackmailed the former FBI director over twitter.
How is it possible that nothing this guy does has any repercussions what so ever? It doesn't make any sense at all.

he is the teflon don
I'm at least 80% convinced Trump is just a Saturday morning cartoon villain that meandered into the real world by mistake.
Fucking threatening the former head of the FBI on Twitter man, what the fuck is he even expecting to happen.
Trump will leave the whitehouse in handcuffs.

If only the Republicans had the spine to do that
This is pretty much a guarantee that the republicans won't see the inside of the white house for a very long time.
I'll be surprised if this term doesn't crush the party altogether.
They know it and are holding on to the last reign of power they can through trump.

And they'll drop him because of homosexual actions rather than anything else.
How can any person actually be this fucking asinine?

He can only be impeached if they find charges to bring against him. They can't just decide they don't like him

The GOP could probably force a Trump resignation in favor of Pence if they really wanted to

Article 4 of the 25th amendment says the senate can vote the president out of office only if the Vice President agrees

Half his own party are terrified of him and consider him a loose cannon. If it turns out they can bring charges against him, especially to save their own skins, they will, though it's surprising with all he's done already they haven't done so yet.

I'd bet even money on Pence agreeing, especially if the GOP try to sweeten the deal somehow, imo.

If Trumps PR disaster keeps going then expect Pence to jump ship at the first opportunity.
What if Pence is also in on "the whole Russia thing"?
Not to mention that he's still a shit person
