The only question about Trump
Will they be able to impeach before he starts wars in Syria, Afghanistan and North Korea?
That’s the only question.
The official investigation into relations between Donald Trump and Russia now has “specific, concrete and corroborative evidence of collusion”, it has been reported.
New evidence proves discussions took place “between people in the Trump campaign and agents of [Russian] influence relating to the use of hacked material,” a source allegedly told the Guardian.
The developments come as it has emerged that Britain’s spy agencies were among the first to alert their American counterparts to contact between members of Mr Trump’s campaign team and Russian intelligence operatives.

I browsed The Moscow Times this morn. An article said that Russian scientists have studied what might happen if there were a nuclear incident in North Korea. Their report assured their fellow citizens that prevailing winds and usual weather patterns would not carry nuclear contaminants to Russia, but, rather, out over and across the Pacific…
…to where I live.

Warren,
I see two possible paths going forward: if Trump has knowledge, or even indirect knowledge, coupled with plausible deniability, any of them is a direct route toward resignation.
However, any proof of cover-up would amount to grounds for beginning impeachment proceedings in the House of Representatives, if such can be voted out of the Judiciary Committee.

Not enough votes to impeach, yet.
Bannon has been working the Freedom caucus folks and they are back on board to end Obamacare. Done by end of the month – 100 days in office.

There where more moderate Republicans who opposed Trumpcare then Freedom caucus congresspeople. Appeasing the Freedom caucus will only cause the plan to lose more votes.

They were the block that stopped it from happening. It even got the ire of Trump when he tweeted as such. I was totally floored that they pulled the stunt. They were getting everything they wanted, and we’re not going to bend. Stupid.
I commented here that Trump would likely hold it against them, and he has, he has become moderate and has downplayed the importance of Bannon.
Bannon has been tasked and lives only if he can get them onside by the end of the month. For worse or better, I am confident he will.

These groups would be the same ones who reported that Clinton had a 90% chance to win right?

Correction. 98% chance.

If only the Saudis and Israelis had meddled more on behalf of Clinton…

Netenyahu was a rabid Trump supporter. Is that all you’ve got?

Scot,
Remember that New York and California are Hillary’s Atlantic Canada. In other words, wasted votes.

“discussions took place “between people in the Trump campaign and agents of [Russian] influence relating to the use of hacked material,”
–I’m no lawyer, so please, someone who knows explain to me how this is impeachable. I believe that it has to be ” “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors”. Does this fit the definition? As reported, it sounds sleazy, but hardly treasonable…

Bill BC,
That’s the trouble with high crimes and misdemeanors. Left undefined, it’s open-ended. You can almost drive a truck through it.
Frankly, they’ll get Trump only by impeachment if there’s a cover up or if he obstructs justice.

I keep forgetting that in Gordworld, all opposition to Trump is”far left”. Keep on dreaming, Bubble Boy.

What about the possibility there has already been a soft coup, by the U.S. Armed Forces – who, after all, may actually want wars in Syria, Afghanistan and North Korea. That’s one way to account for his flip-flops on virtually every major campaign promise except the Mexican wall, which may be yet to come. Then again, maybe not. There’s no doubt that Mrs. Clinton would have been a more competent warmonger than Mr. Trump.

Trump may be more moderate in some ways, but Pence probably won’t trigger an unnecessary nuclear war and he will probably accept the results of the next presidential election even if he loses.
