It’s a start

But we really want to get the man at the top:

Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort are almost sure to be indicted as a result of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russian interference in the 2016 election, the Connecticut senator told POLITICO.

“I’m about 99 percent sure there will be some criminal charges from this investigation,” said Blumenthal, a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee. Blumenthal has also served as a U.S. attorney and spent 20 years as his state’s attorney general.

Blumenthal said he is less certain Trump himself would end up facing charges, including for possible obstruction of justice for his firing of FBI Director James Comey.

That’s because it’s not clear that a sitting president can be indicted — at least, on the federal level. (Thank God for Eric Schneiderman.) If he simply reports to Congress and leaves it to them to decide whether to impeach, well, good luck until we get a Democratic majority.

One thought on “It’s a start

  1. Trump is a political corpse.
    Therefore it no longer matters whether he’s imprisoned or impeached.

    The Republican’s have finally come to the realization that Trump is killing the Republican Party.

    But because of the impotence of the Democratic Party brought on by the neo-liberals who control it, the Party is unable to take advantage of the Republican Party’s decent into hell.

    Good job pro-corporatist Pelosi, Schumer, and the rest of the Democratic Party leadership.
