It CANNOT be political interference for the President to SAY SOMETHING in public about a matter related to government policy, otherwise nearly EVERYTHING the President says or does qualifies as “political interference.”

Does Trump violate standards of decorum or appropriateness with some of his comments on stuff like this? Sure, and it would be fine to criticize him for it. But it is not okay to try and turn bad manners into a high crime.

Remember “it” all depends what the word “is” is. Your “political interference” may not correspond with reality, pure and simple. Just like “foreign policy consensus” not being the same as same as official foreign policy set by the POTUS. Ask Lt. Col. Vindman about that distinction if you aren’t sure about it.

If you watch the entire interview with Jeffrey Toobin you’ll see he says while it was excessive it was also part of the sentencing guidelines. But the main argument he is making is how highly unusual it is for the president to interject into this case. It’s political interference in the justice system pure and simple. Remember when Republicans went crazy when Loretta Lynch had a conversation on the tarmac with Bill Clinton? As Toobin says, this goes way beyond that.

Manju was taking a well-earned break. He works so hard here, and with so little result.

Rand Paul’s speech on the Senate floor last week restating his (CJ Roberts) banned question during the impeachment proceedings: Sen. Paul speech

Watched? Good.

Now consider: YouTube has pulled postings of this speech down. They will not have you or anyone else see it.

Fearful, are they? You’re damned right they’re fearful. They must control the message, because their own stories cannot compete with truth. And without their bogus stories their power melts away.

Swinging wildly. Desperation palpable. Alas, the poor lambs seem on the verge…and as a result the violence is ramping up. Poor, poor little lambs.

Of course, we all understand that it’s NOT FAIR that Trump hasn’t collapsed in the face of the extraordinary efforts of our bestest and brightest, not to mention their most patriotic intentions. Not fair, not right. And freakin’ immoral.

That’s right. Not only has Trump NOT agreed to capitulate: that sore winner, that barbarian, is fighting back!

Palestinian rules!

Shocked. The crickets put him up to it.

It only goes nowhere if you believe that not only CAN the House impeach a President for anything, they SHOULD impeach for anything.
