8. CORVUS OCULUM CORVI NON ERUIT
Picture a politician sticking up for a colleague even in the face of widespread criticism—that’s a fine example of the old Latin saying corvus oculum corvi non eruit, meaning "a crow will not pull out the eye of another crow." It’s essentially the same as "honor amongst thieves," and refers to complete solidarity amongst a group of likeminded people regardless of the consequences or condemnation.
Remember the laptop bomb thingy ISIS was planning?. Trump apparently revealed the city from where this source came in...I mean one of the things he told the Russians.
CNN knew about the city from where the source (reg ISIS plans) came, but where briefed by the white house not to relay it on news because it was of extreme national importance and they still havent mentioned it.
"Greg Floyd Whenever channel 13 news or any other news comes on, I turn it off cause of crap like this. That why u only watch the cartoon network, about the same thing"
that comment section is goldWould be ironic if the person who many feel brought down Clinton ends up being the same one who leads to Trump's downfall.
He can't be doing this on purpose surely, he must just be an idiot.
Has the details of the dinner not been out yet?. I read that Trump Asked Comey to pledge his loyality repeatedly and he refused??...

Comey could probably run for POTUS in 2020 and win going away.
That guy going on about Hillary's emails
It's become such a meme we've forgotten some people still say it genuinely.
I'm imagining Jeffrey Lord lying in the fetal position, tears heavy, uttering the words "Trump" repeatedly in mimicking fashion of Kramer's "Kenny."
Only if we can stop Sean Spicer!
Sounds like they may have finally - possibly - nailed Drumpf on obstruction of justice.
I'm pretty sure both sets of voters strongly dislike him, actually.
Blimey. It's that serious, is it?
True. He may need to go in hiding if he brings down Trump, with those fecktards willing to hunt him down.
Well its a serious crime, so if proven, impeachment may be on the horizon.
Drumpf better pray Comey didn't write a memo documenting any of this.
Mike Pence has been quiet recently. Must be preparing for his new job.
White House denies it. What time does the twitler usually start??
I hope the dumbasses who voted for Trump aren't surprised by any of this, because they shouldn't be. The rest of us, those who were actually paying attention, knew this was coming all along.
His ardent supporters won't be surprised - they'll just whine and say how it's incredibly unfair. People over on /r/the_donald will love the idea that their man is the victim of some major agenda against him.
I'll bet Trump regrets mocking Lindsey Graham during the campaign and publishing his phone number.
He mocked everyone, and most people still kissed his feet on coronation day. Cruz, for example. We'll see how he approaches this.
Never mind the WH denial, it's probably true simply because Trump is an amateur - he just doesn't know what constitutes appropriate behaviour for someone in public office.
And elevated Pence/Ryan? The ultimate GOP weapon then. Won them the election, got rid of a problem, and melted away.
Aye, will be interesting. I'd imagine a lot of the Republicans he mocked really can't stand him on a personal basis and would happily see him gone in favour of Pence, but thus far they've been incredibly spineless in standing up to him, either caving completely or resorting to the occasional platitude. Graham inviting Comey to testify is progress though.
I think most Dems would love Pence/Ryan at this point if it means getting rid of this charlatan.
Out of interest, is Trump allowed to stand again if he gets impeached? Like...could he run on his own, independent platform in 2020? Cause if so, it'd be an absolute bloodbath if he picked up a portion of the GOP vote.
But yeah, Trump going so early does mean we'd essentially see Pence and the Republicans get free rein until 2020. And I'd imagine the relief at Trump going would see them gain a little in popularity. Still...you'd hope this has done enough damage and can pick away at the rabid Trump supporters to the point where the Dems win easily in 2020.
Speaking of political charlatans.....
Get rid of the clumsy, loud snake, inherit the sneaky, quiet snake. While we win one match we still lose the game.
Lindsey Graham, defender of the Republic.
There's no way an actual, honest to God impeached GOP president wouldn't have a massive effect on the 2018 midterms, and very likely the 2020 election as well.

It'd help in avoiding daily embarrassment and nuclear annihilation but he's got a point. We'll see an almost identical agenda to the one Trump's implementing at the moment, which is still incredibly regressive and dangerous, only without the consistent embarrassment of Trump. Which won't be much better for a lot of people.
Can't wait for Cruz to smell the blood in the water and immediately go on the offensive against Trump. We all know it's in the cards for Cruz once he sees the path to something that benefits himself.
