GOP senator: Trump is just 'trying to negotiate' when he obstructs justice

By

May 7, 2019

Cory Gardner defends Trump's attempts to ignore congressional subpoenas and obstruct the House investigation into Trump's criminal activity.

Legal experts say Trump could provoke a constitutional crisis by demanding that no White House officials cooperate with congressional investigations into Trump's possible criminal activity.

But to Sen. Cory Gardner (R-CO), these efforts by Trump and the White House to obstruct justice are merely "negotiating positions."

"Now the president has said, 'I'm not going to cooperate with the House.' Is that a viable position?" host Craig Silverman asked Gardner in a Saturday interview with Colorado radio station KNUS 710-AM.

Rather than stand up for Congress as a co-equal branch of government, Gardner defended Trump's position.

Nice try asshole and you are making $174,00 a year to be obstructionist asshole in the senate.

But since your an enabling asshole, maybe someone should send you a copy of the Constitution and the piece of paper that you said that you would swear to defend and protect the Constitution, while you had your hand on some bible, and not a fucking criminal..................well with these comments you have failed in your job description ...................

Your a fucking embarrassment to the Senate along with your speaker.........................you two, do fucking realize and your party that your "guy's" tried to sell off Minnesota, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Ohio and they did hack a server in Florida, for a 300 million price range to build some tower in Moscow right pin head......................with polling data and to divvy up the Ukraine, this is just small sample of your parties corruption.

Oh yeah you forget to mention that when in contact with Russians agents at a convention are you not suppose to call the FBI................right dumb ass.

how can someone in the Congress say what he he said with a straight face...............this is nuts.
People in the House are trying to play by the "rules" and those "guys' like him and others are burning the rule book.....................they just don't care, they really don't, they do not have any rules.........................

They must a have conference call every morning on doing this stuff.......................and assigning the stupid pill quote for the day.........................
