This lack of self-reflection has no basis in case law or the Constitution, period. Complete nonsense.

Now that Trump having obstructed justice is essentially proven, by his own admission, anybody who shifts their position to argue that it's [I]okay[/I] for the president to do so when he, himself, is the subject of the investigation he is attempting to obstruct is a [I]real butthead.[/I]

I really wonder whether Mueller's team is actively compiling a list of potential charges against the President

[QUOTE=Bob The Knob;52945731]This new WaPo article says he was fired ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I assume it was a 'resign or be fired' situation[/QUOTE] No idea why WaPo is saying he was fired, as it's pretty clear he resigned. Just like Trump claiming he fired a man who quit his job, it's inconsistent with what actually happened, and the devil is in the details.

[QUOTE=verynicelady;52945567]I absolutely do not understand how this man is still the president of the U.S. and therefore supposedly the leader of the free world. A man who tweets the wrong person when replying to Theresa May has the power to start a nuclear war. These are scary times.[/QUOTE] Keep in mind Mattis has to give the launch command, I don't believe he'd let manchild-in-chief get away with a random nuke.
