President Trump has once again weighed in on Republican concerns that the DOJ is not providing documents in a timely manner.

It’s gotten to the point where some Republicans have begun drafting articles of impeachment against Deputy AG Rod Rosenstein as a “last resort.” Rosenstein fired back yesterday by saying the DOJ will not be “extorted.”

And now the President himself is getting into this ongoing battle:

A Rigged System – They don’t want to turn over Documents to Congress. What are they afraid of? Why so much redacting? Why such unequal “justice?” At some point I will have no choice but to use the powers granted to the Presidency and get involved!

1. Catastrophuck. So sick of him. n/t

[sarcasmo]

2. Austin Powers?

#BananaRepublic

[Freethinker65]

3. Just get it over with and fire everyone. Replace them with friends, family, and porn stars.

Make sure to get the loyalty oaths on tape this time. Take a few trillion from petty cash intended for social programs, hand the reins to Ivanka, and go retire to Mar a lago.

4. If he meddles with DOJ or the investigation

the legal system is going to meddle with him, just watch the lawsuits fly

[Eliot Rosewater]

7. The problem are the SIXTY MILLION voters who WANT him to commit treason and to destroy

the constitution.

If they would stop being traitors, and all of them are, this would be so much easier.

I dont know how this country hasnt exploded yet with PATRIOTS being mad as hell.

[YessirAtsaFact]

12. You keep throwing out this 60 million voters-Not all of them still support him

Maybe half or two thirds of them still support him, but most of the independent voters don’t.

[Eliot Rosewater]

30. I am saying that at least that many adults support him and while I have been saying they all

vote , they did once.

Now many who voted for him now do NOT support him, but many who did NOT vote do. I am comfortable with that number.

[agueybana79]

28. 60 Million vs. the rest of the nation

Let them try...

[ProudMNDemocrat]

5. Trump is still PISSED at......

Rod Rosenstein and Jeff Sessions over the Russia probe and the fact that Robert Mueller is getting ever closer to nailing his orange ass.

What else can it be?

[janx]

6. He seems to be reacting to some

recent comments made by Rosenstein.

[TranssexualKaren]

8. He is absolutely going to fire Mueller!!!

I don’t care what the political blowback is, this is now an existential threat and he knows it.

[onecent]

9. Go for it, Dotard!

[forgotmylogin]

10. "At some point I will have no choice but to unleash the third seal of covfefe..."

[janx]

11. Ahhhhhhh !

[YessirAtsaFact]

13. He clearly has no respect for and/or understanding of the rule of law

[honest.abe]

14. He's prepping us for a "Saturday Night Massacre"

Its about to get real folks. We may need a military coup to clear this lunatic out of the WH.

[MGKrebs]

16. Never. Not the way.

[honest.abe]

18. Agreed.. but..

as a last resort should he somehow survive the FBI investigations and impeachment and refuse to resign... then a military coup might sound pretty good to most of us.

[MGKrebs]

22. Maybe I shouldn't say "never"...

If they somehow manage to cancel, void or negate elections,
then I'll be on board.
And I know some would say we are already there. I want to give it one more election cycle and see what happens.

[Hekate]

23. That would be the absolute end of us as a republic. No. Never. nt

[honest.abe]

34. I get the feeling that Trump remaining in the WH will be the end of us as a republic.

imho

[Oneironaut]

32. Military coups always end up with an authoritarian government.

[honest.abe]

33. I would think in this scenario..

the military would simply remove him and his gang and call for a new elections then turn the government back over to the newly elected President.

[Gothmog]

15. This is stupid even for Trump

[Roy Rolling]

17. "They"

"They" don't want. Who is "they"? You would think someone as smart as he says he is could specifically identify who "they" is.

It's easy. There are two people in America---"us" and "they".

If you ain't one of "us", youse one of "them". Dumbing down to only two choices is the goal of propagandists. All shades of gray are ignored.

[sandensea]

19. Spoken like a third-world despot.

Sure enough, many of his favorite authoritarians - Putin, Duterte, Orbán, Macri - have been doing precisely that.

[LiberalLovinLug]

20. At some point I will have no choice!

[Nitram]

21. Trump's right about that. At some point he'll have no choice but to sit down before DOJ officers

and start answering questions.

[0rganism]

24. well, he's not wrong

his list of options is shrinking by the day

[Firestorm49]

25. More Bluster from David Dennison

The goof has no idea what his presidential powers entail, he just THINKS he knows. Plus, it’s doubtful that he would rely on the advice of any of his transient cabinet.
To quote our old buddy Ben Franklin; “We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.”

[SHRED]

26. He already is involved

He fired Comey and has threatened the intelligence community numerous times.

[OliverQ]

27. Uh oh, we're really heading into some deep trouble.

He's absolutely losing it.

[beachbum bob]

29. He still doesn't get how govt works....the DOJ isn't his...

[yellowcanine]

31. Please proceed, Mr. Bonespurs.

[meadowlander]

35. I guess his legal strategy is to keep adding obstruction counts faster than they can be typed up.

Good luck with that then.
