1. No surprise, though.

[Moral Compass]

2. Another impeachable offense

That is, by definition, quid pro quo.

If Trump agrees to this then he has accepted a bribe.

[Aaron Pereira]

35. That's how I'm reading it.

If Clinton had made a similar bargain to cover his legal fees during impeachment he might have been removed from office. That's real cause.

[Totally Tunsie]

3. Tit for Tat.

They'll never learn their lessons.

[Celerity]

5. tit for tat

FOR

[Totally Tunsie]

6. I see what you did there.

[LuvNewcastle]

36. LOL!

[Guilded Lilly]

4. The river of corruption gets deeper and deeper. Flood time.

[malaise]

7. That's a seriously lame threat to the people of America

Drop charges against the Con or gun safety. Given the report on the NRA links to Russia, this is merely another ground for impeaching this piece of shit.

[asiliveandbreathe]

8. The tax exempt NRA is already under investigation..as Wyden

was just discussing with Chris Hayes..not sure funding for the pos is a good idea....to put it mildly...

[applegrove]

9. Bait to get us off the impeachment story? Bait to get us off the NRA - Russia

story? Bait for us to put them together and be wrong about that?

[Hoyt]

10. Art of Deal -- I'll let white wingers keep their murderous gunz, if NRA pays my impeachment defense.

[Poiuyt]

11. By the headline, I thought that Gavin Newsome was nauseating

[flibbitygiblets]

14. Heck no! Google "Governor McDreamy" and guess who's the first result?

After 5 years of being forced to look at a frog-faced can of spam*, I say we all deserve some eye-candy as POTUS in the very near future!



*including 2 years campaigning and, unbelievably, 3 as POTUS

[Cousin Dupree]

28. Thank you for the candy

[MontanaMama]

31. I usually wouldn't take candy

from strangers...but if you insist....

[Jake Stern]

12. Thought he was such a great businessman

Surely someone with his much talked about financial prowess and big time success should have more than enough to cover any legal fees from this.

[Demobrat]

16. Why spend your own money

When you can spend someone else’s?

[Haggis for Breakfast]

26. Trump NEVER spends his own money.

He always gets others to cover his expenses.

[bdamomma]

38. or stealing from

taxpayers. He needs to GO down now. Times up.

[gristy]

13. How did this become public knowledge?

This is so damning for both the NRA and for 45's crime syndicate that I have to wonder how and why these two ever entertained such a notion.

[applegrove]

19. I'm suspicious that it is meant to bait us into not talking about impeachment.

Here is the original story:

20. It's not. More than one bad thing can happen at the same time.

And lately, they do.

[applegrove]

23. That's true. Maybe everyone in the WH is trying to save themselves

by telling all to reporters.....present and former WH staffers.

[struggle4progress]

25. That is a very good question

15. More Blood on trump's fucking hands.

[subana]

17. but, but

I thought fat Donnie is really rich!!

[dlk]

18. It's also illegal

I think Trump May be in denial about the seriousness of the impeachment inquiry and is conducting business as usual.

[bdamomma]

39. Of course he

is in denial, he's listening to those voices in his head, he could be suffering from schizophrenia or numerous mental issues.

[rocktivity]

21. It is also very impeachable

22. Is there another word for WOW? Tired of saying it

[miyazaki]

40. Yowza! nt

[Marie Marie]

24. Hey, what's the poor guy to do?

He tried to make a deal with Nancy on Gun Control in exchange for forgetting about this latest little inconvenience for him. She shut him down and then handed him his ass. So he found someone who would, as he likes to say, "play ball with him". Oh and, this is illegal, you dimwit.

[SCVDem]

27. So Wayne says to tRump...

Sure I can help you out!

But I have a little favor I need in return.

That's why you don't do that you fucking dumbass!

[procon]

29. Isn't this another illegal act?

Quid Pro Quo. Something for something. Trump promising to kill any gun legislation in exchange for a large sum of cash to pay for his legal defence is accepting an outright bribe from the NRA.

[roamer65]

30. That's an impeachable offense.

Quid pro quo.

[JDC]

33. This is insane. He needs to go to jail. As does LaPierre

No f'in way this is even remotely ok. Not a smidge.

[TexasBushwhacker]

34. More proof that Trump is actually broke n/t

[bdamomma]

37. They are thugs

it's like they are saying Who cares how many Americans are getting killed by guns. Lapierre
