It's the old "I have a colored friend, look I'm not racist". Tlaib did not like that, she said bringing a black woman as a prop was a racist act by itself, and Meadows of course does not like that. | ||

Jordan ended saying their time could have been better used to ask him about that. I mean Trump can call it a unconstitutional coup attempt all he wants but in reality Rosenstein is surely free to discuss something like that? Doesn't it just look bad on Trump that it was discussed? They are fixated on that because it feeds into their deep state argument that Trump and the conservatives love. The acting FBI direction and Deputy AG discussing who do deal with a clearly criminal president is to much for them. These jokers would also have supported Nixon firing the AG and Deputy AG.

I'm sure it will work on a shameful amount of people but haven't we relied on witness testimony of criminals for damn near eternity? The whole origin of criminals hating 'rats' is the embodiment of this process. We've had to rely on criminal testimony for some of the largest and smallest criminal cases our country has ever seen. Thousands and thousands of cases have been built on the back of criminals testifying due to being forced or due to flipping/cooperating, wtf. What a stupid, stupid, stupid argument. edit: i get the uneasy nature of trusting a known liar/cheat/whatever but hypocrisy aside (Trump lies constantly...) testimony from those with access and receipts regardless of their criminality can definitely be useful in ongoing investigations...wtf? | ||

These guys got elected to oppose a black president who couldn’t call them out in person. They are clueless in this new environment. He does sound like a giant tool. I can't remember the name of the guy I called out as a knob when I was doing running commentary on the Comey hearings, but Meadows seems knobbier even than that guy. I keep thinking the Republicans are going to run out of these twats but they always seem to have a new one hiding under a paving slab like some shitty version of a Norwegian bridge troll.

That is literally the thread title on T_D dealing with this matter. They're there before you, my man. | ||

It's remarkable that they can't accept that career Republicans (and some of his own appointees) are doubting his fitness for office because, wait for it.... HE MAY NOT BE FIT FOR OFFICE. It's always got to be some "deep state" plot or "war against the constitution". | ||
