How exactly did Trump acquire the Old Post Office Building that is now the Trump International ?

The best that I can understand is that he knew someone in the GSA and got a favorable bid and was able to lease the building for like 99 years?

Has this ever been investigated? And is he up to date on the lease? Also, is he abiding by the agreement within the lease?

We now hear that he wants to sell his "lease"? Wonder which Russian oligarch will buy it? Wonderful location just down the street from the Capitol.

This transaction has always seemed very suspicious to me? But, its gotten to the point where every transaction is suspicious?

Joe di Genova, Victoria Toensing, Rudy Giuliani, Wm Barr, Firtash, and Shokin worked as a team

Regarding impeachment, how much stock should be put in public opinion polls?

For example, if the opinion polls do not reach 60-65%, Donald Trump should not be impeached?

Isn't it obvious that a majority of voters do not know shit from shinola? They vote for Congressmen and Senators to make big decisions for them.

Look at the gun issue with Republicans. Do they care that 90% of the people support background checks for gun purchases? No they do not.

It would be nice if those Congressmen on the right side of issue were able to persuade a huge majority to their side, but that should not be the sole criteria for passing legislation, in my opinion.

These people are paid to make the tough decisions, not those citizens that are asked a a question in a public opinion poll.

How many times has Trump tampered with witnesses and obstructed justice?

His witness tampering yesterday in real time was not the first time he has tampered with witnesses. He hinted at a pardon for Michael Cohen, until Cohen turned on him. Then, he threatened his father-in-law and his business ventures.

Similarly with Paul Manafort, from the beginning, he was hinting at a pardon for him, and let everyone know how terrible he was being treated by the Special Counsel. He was receiving info from Manafort, even while he was in prison.

Several times he attempted to obstruct the Mueller investigation with threats and outright obstrution. He tried to fire the Special Counsel. This was after he fired the FBI Director and destroyed the reputations of many in the Justice Dept in the process.

This has been a pattern with Mr Trump since Day one. It did not begin with a phone call to Ukraine.

Body language of Donald Trump after shaking hands with Vladimir Putin?

The video has been shown many times on cable news.

They are sitting down and Trump offers his hand to Putin and when the "shake" is completed, Trump does not look toward his audience.

Instead, he looks down and toward the side for a brief moment, as if he is ashamed of something?

I am not an expert on body language but it seems there is something between Mr Trump and Putin that is very affecting for Mr Trump?

Has anyone noticed that?

The Republican Party knows Trump is guilty and is engaged in massive cover-up

They are, in their entirety, betraying our country and the American people.

No amount of lies or propaganda can hide them from the truth.

They know that the emperor has no clothes, yet they continue to pretend it is nothing more than a partisan squabble. Their denial is obvious to everyone except themselves.

How long can they continue this charade? They believe they can lie their way to victory in the next election.

Unfortunately for Republicans, there is no easy way out. They are about to reap what they have sown.

After yesterday, Republicans will need to re-calibrate.

Their Counsel, Steve Castor, was criticized by some on the right as being on the "other" side. Also, he was caught on camera, leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, as if resigned to the futility of his argument.

Their strategy was to disrupt with procedural motions and "points of order" but they were quickly squelched by Chairman Schiff, who recognized their scheme from the beginning. They were going to let Ms Stefanik lead the charge and then let Gym Jordan clean up with his rapid-fire questioning. They were persistent. They tried about six times each to disrupt the hearing but were scolded and silenced by Mr Schiff in very short order. He showed that he was in total control of the hearing.

What will they do different going forward? Since their initial strategy failed so miserably, what can they do to interrupt and disrupt with the future witnesses? Mr Trump was probably very disappointed in their efforts yesterday?

How credible is the witness about to emerge from the secret hearing room?

If he has information, that would be backed up Sondland next Wednesday, then that could indeed be a big story, in my opinion.

This must be torturous for the Republican Party? They know that the crap can get much, much worse, the longer these hearings go on. Trump can be so unpredictable - just as he was today with his unwise and untimely tweet.

It is not a hoax! Mueller Report confirmed as legitimate!

Roger Stone was found guilty of all seven charges against him today.

The last person indicted and charged by Robert Mueller, before the sudden end to his investigation, was the same Roger Stone.

From the beginning of the Mueller investigation until today, Donald Trump has been bellowing "Hoax!' and "Scam!". With the jury verdict against Roger Stone today, Donald Trump has been proven wrong by our jury system.

The Mueller investigation was proven to be 100% right today.

Roger Stone found guilty of all charges filed by Robert Mueller..

The same Mueller investigation that Donald Trump called a "hoax" and a "scam".

Does this mean that the jury did not think Mueller's investigation was a "sham"?

Does this mean a jury has discredited Trump's attacks against the Mueller report?

Does the Stone verdict show Trump to he a fraud?
