First big takeaway from House intel report: It concludes that VP Pence-- who would become POTUS if Trump is removed-- was "either knowledgeable of or active participant" in conduct that is basis for impeachment.

1. Mother is NOT going to be happy

[madaboutharry]

2. The entire administration is a mob operation.

It is sickening.

11. It's literally too big to take in... I think that's one reason the country isn't up in arms

It's kind of hilarious that Watergate has been the standard of presidential corruption for all these decades, when that was teeny tiny small potatoes compared to what is happening now. It's unfathomable. And it comes after three years of the most outrageous behavior the world has ever seen from a supposed non-dictator. The government of the United States, a country that had the respect of the world again just a few years ago, is being run like a mob operation. The leader of the free world (or the person occupying the office that used to be described that way) is a mobster and a crook. It is, literally, unbelievable.

This investigation is like pouring tea into an overfilled cup. It's just too much to take in.

3. Nancy Pelosi, please pick up the nearest white courtesy telephone

[malaise]

4. Pretty please

[Brother Buzz]

7. That pesky majority vote in the House of Representatives suggests....

Pence would never get his pick for VP confirmed, and an acting VP doesn't mean shit when it comes to that succession thingy.

If this crazy thing totally blows up, and it comes to pass, I have on good authority Nancy Pelosi would retire a happy woman on January 20, 2020: Mission Accomplished. Hell, a photo of her wearing a sweatshirt with the #47 emblazoned on it would look cool on my refrigerator.

8. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Keep those boots on his neck Sister Nancy

[totodeinhere]

19. The problem with that scenario is time.

They are going to drag this out as long as they can I think. To impeach Pence they would have to start all over from scratch starting with hearings again. It would just take too long. By then we'll be at the election anyway.

[Brother Buzz]

23. The Democrats can multitask

Hell, impeach Pence first, then nail the orange anus and change Nancy's number to 46. Simple, no?

Let me live with my pipe dream for a bit until reality smacks me in the face. OK?

[2naSalit]

26. VP can be indicted like anyone else.

Timing is crucial. If he is removed for crimes committed just as mf45 is removed or within a legal time frame, neither one will occupy the WH.

6. Love it!

[BlueMTexpat]

5. Of course he did! eom

[gademocrat7]

9. Treasonous bastards.

The entire administration has betrayed their oath of office.

[Vinca]

10. The whole lot of them need to be thrown out of office. If we had an Attorney General who

wasn't part of the crime family, some of these people would be looking at charges.

[alwaysinasnit]

12. If Pence is a "co-conspirator," and if he ends up president, does that mean he can't pardon 45?????

[totodeinhere]

20. No, if he is sworn in as POTUS he will outomatically attain

the constitutional power to pardon.

[meow2u3]

29. Pence's pardon of Trump will be moot. NY State will nail him

eom

[totodeinhere]

30. I think we're getting ahead of ourselves here.

Myself, I hope that Pence will never find himself in the position to pardon Trump in the first place.

[ffr]

13. Which explains why Moscow Mitch and crew in the senate are doing their damnedest to deflect

and say they'll never convict tRump for his high crimes and treason. Because if tRump's guilty, they guy he has lunch with on a regular basis to talk policy, is also as guilty as he is.

Isn't that right, madame president Pelosi?

[SWBTATTReg]

14. It's RICO time!! nt

[Corgigal]

15. Of course he knew,

Trump can’t keep his mouth shut.

See NYC, the 1980s.

[jcgoldie]

16. This is one reason I think they haven't bailed on Trump

They have to cling to the edge of the cliff no matter how bad it looks because there's no bottom... they can't toss Trump because too many of them are chained to him.

[quid amateur quo]

17. But he Never Betrayed the Country Without his Wife being Present

After all, to do it behind her back would be tantamount to adultery!

[NurseJackie]

18. Impeach his ass too!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

21. pants Pence!

[dchill]

22. That SHOULD prevent him from inheriting...

...the pResiduncy.

[Karadeniz]

24. Why not Barr? Trump told Ukraine to deal with him, too.

[uponit7771]

27. +1, If anyone in the Obama admin even dreamt of something like this the kGOP would make them

... wake up and apologize.
