Yeah, the same guy that was supposed to have recused himself from the investigation.
Yup, it's priceless really.
I hate to bang on about it but many of us in here have been talking about all this for months. Look at it this way, we are just some guys (and girls) on a football forum, we just chat between ourselves using the evidence we are given from news channels and the media and social media (mainly Twitter) Between us all many of us have formulated ideas in our own minds what is going on. I admit that it is often easier looking from the outside in, but as someone said earlier, this really isn't rocket science is it?
The evidence is clear for all to see. The President of the United States of America is as crooked as they come. He's a chancer, a Del Boy type wanna be geezer and he's also completely full of shit. He's a braggart and an unstable, erratic, short tempered, vicious, nasty man who holds a grudge and likes to publically humiliate his enemies. His family are no different and despite everything that has happened in the past, and I could list well over 100 things that would have sunk anyone else no matter how famous, and would have destroyed any other politicians career and probably seen them end up in jail, they all appear untouchable and nothing has stuck. We all knew something was going on and there was substance to the Russian rumours simply because of how many people it implicated and because Trump refused (and still refuses) to release his tax returns and because Trump himself, and both his boys, have openly admitted to having close ties to Russia and to being heavily financed by the Russians.
On top of the Russian connections and the constant lying, attacking the Press, attacking anyone who upsets him usually with a very childish or petulant Tweet as a retort, completely humiliating his country with the way he has acted around other foreign leaders and openly insulting the Angela Merkel to the world while physically wrestling the Japanese PM Abe in front of the entire world. To that list we can add his recent healthcare bill, the two failed travel bans that were essentially Muslim bans, insulting the heads of the intelligence agencies, not accepting the fact he lost the popular vote, constantly calling the Dems childish and blaming them or Obama for his failures, he complained and lied about the number of people at his inauguration and he has gone back on many of his campaign promises including the main ones of locking Hillary up and building a wall. Then we have the fact he is not only using the Presidency as a massive get rich quick scheme and ripping the country off, but he and his children are also completely breaking emolument laws and conflict of interest laws. So much of what they are doing is shamelessly out in the open, it really is so brazen on so many counts. How many times has someone posted something in this thread or the Election thread and said something along the lines of "Wow, so out in the open, they really are taking the piss and rubbing peoples faces in it"
That's not mentioning the fact that he and many of his cabinet could well be committing treason.
So, us, on the internet, in a forum just chatting between ourselves yet ALL of this is evident. I would gladly put everything I own up against my firm belief in every single word I have written above, and believe me I have left so much out. But the point being is I/we have all ascertained and garnished all this simply from the internet and news channels. Not one of us is a real investigative journalist or works for any of the worlds intelligence agencies (Or do any of you?
) And yet we can all say we know most of these illegal acts are happening and we have not been privy to any classified material other than what has leaked on the net. If this is what we know, then what the feck do the intelligence agencies know? And how long before they act on it?
I saw an excellent analogy earlier that said besides all the Russian stuff there is more than enough to impeach Trump for with the conflicts of interest and emoluments laws being broken, so it may be like putting Al Capone away for Tax Evasion but it's better than nothing. If they don't get Trump one way, they will get him another. It's not a question of if, it's when, and how bad is it all and how many are connected?
Feck, sorry for all that.
I should add that i'm really not surprised by any of this and think it's only going to get much, much worse. He's off his fecking nut.
