The funny thing is that Trump as POTUS can never reveal classified intelligence because as POTUS he can declassify anything he chooses.  Even if he reveals classified info unintentionally, that disclosure is implicitly declassified. He is exempted from being charged under the Espionage Act.

The rationale for this is that a President has to be able to reveal classified information where circumstances warrant it without needing to submit to Congressional or judicial oversight. No doubt, though, the expectation is that such disclosures would only be made after careful thought and for compelling reasons.

I reckon it would be worth having a few dollars on it, because he doesn't get the gravity of his situation. Oaths you swear and completely enforceable by law. He isn't in a business room now where he can lie, cheat bluff... If everything fails.. well start a new venture..
In this job he will be held accountable and I think he will end up impeached.

I suspect senior Republicans are just sweating on the opportunity.
If the circus continues they'll be swamped at the mid-terms
For the time being though they have to show some level of support.
What they need is the one big impeachable slip-up.
Unfortunately this won't be it (Post says yes-POTUS says no)

Trumps off on holidays...and that should be an interesting trip. Big Grin

Trump doesn't say no.  He has merely sent out others to give a non-denial denial which doesn't address the actual allegation in the WPo report.

PS: This isn't an impeachable error as he didn't commit a crime but it's a massive political and security blunder.  Why the hell was he talking directly to Kisliak anyway given he's Russia's spymaster in the US and there's an open investigation into Russia's interference with the US democratic system? You've gotta be joking ...

Oh there is zero chance he will be impeached here, but he almost certainly has committed or will commit offenses serious enough. The constitution and the governmental process of checks and balances are just things he sees as annoyances to stop him getting done what he thinks is right.

I just can't see him lasting a full term without a slip up of the proportions that see him impeached, or resigning on threat of impeachment

all commentary and opinions are mere meaningless theatrics in a world where it appears there are opposing sides and ideology.

Wake up people! This Russian investigation is a distraction because the Democrats still cant believe they lost the unlosable election.

Hillary Clinton and Peanut Obama sold 20% of the US uranium to Russia... Where is the investigation there???

Democrat's have become a laughing stock. If Trump was to open an orphanage for all African kids, the Democrats would still find a reason to question his intentions.
People need to wake up to the BS and these Marxist scum.

I love the way that Trump and his supporters rail against fake news, and yet they love to create and circulate fake news.  What really annoys them is fact-checking.  With that in mind, all I need to do is link to the fact-checks  :-*

Don't fact check me with leftist media outlets! Next you will tell me that the Iran deal didn't happen either!!!


Re: Trumpled (Alternative Leading) - Mav - 05-16-2017

Sorry, I can't fact-check them with right-wing sources.  My missus would go berserk if I cut some eyeholes in the bedsheets ...

Just flick between Fox and CNN, they're together on the Foxtel dial...you'll get a balanced view. ;D
