Even when the FBI is in the midst of investigating Trump and his campaign over Russia.
If anything, this is a sure sign of Trump's overall opinion of Dems, in that he's believing that we're just as scumbaggy as he is.
But not ONE Democrat is taking that bait. All of them are saying that the "Hillary investigation" excuse is nothing more than a scam and the most vocal ones are telling everyone that this is a huge cover up of Trump. He's in Nixon Territory now, and we all know what happened to Tricky Dick.
This is why we need to retake BOTH HOUSES of Congress, to hold this crooked, incompetent president, who holds our democracy in utter contempt, responsible for his actions. This is a constitutional crisis and Republicans are sitting on their hands.
History will NOT be kind to them.
FDT.

(32,634 posts)Nixon got off easy. He was allowed to resign and get pardoned by Ford. He was never impeached, but he SHOULD have been and he would have been convicted and run out of office.
Trump is a criminal, a traitor, a tax dodger, a serial cheater, a sociopath and a pathological liar. Even the Republicans can see all of this and some of them (hopefully enough of them) do care enough to take action.
The Feds already have all the evidence they need to bury Trump.
The problem right now is the political will of Congress to impeach him.
We have to face this with courage and resolve.
