Trump Disgraces America Every Day

So many felonies @POTUS may have committed. How about 18 U.S.C. § 1505:

"Whoever ... endeavors to influence, obstruct, or impede ... the due and proper exercise of the power of inquiry under which any inquiry or investigation is being had by either House" is guilty of a felony.

I see your 18 U.S.C. § 2(a), and raise you 18 U.S.C. § 1622:

"Whoever procures another to commit any perjury is guilty of subornation of perjury, and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both."

This one may finally turn Don the Con into Don the Convict.

Mueller has a paper trail, possibly includes family members, too. So much lying...

Donny tried to illegally withhold disaster relief money from Puerto Rico

Because of course he did. Doubt he’ll be in office long enough for House investigations to conclude, or even begin, into this.

Donald Trump’s Presidency Is Legally Over, Pending Mitch McConnell’s Acknowledgement Of His Constitutional Duties
Trump now serves at the pleasure of McConnell and Senate Republicans, whether they know it or not

Owning Trump is power, and we know the measure of McConnell and the tribe he leads by now. They will grab the power with both hands, and keep it as long as they can.

BBC's bias is strongly pro-Tory, actually.

Trump created this shutdown and like the majority of the crisis the country has been put through since 1/20/2017. He caused it to happen and then when the mess gets fixed, claims a victory.
The country is being held hostage, by one testing just how far it can be pushed. If the shutdown is over with anything less then an agreement just to go back. Open up.
Then to negotiate on a agreement for a budget wall immigration ect....
What to stop Trump using this tactic for whatever the next time? The next and next?

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Don’t forget, we are building and renovating big sections of Wall right now. Moving quickly, and will cost far less than previous politicians thought possible. Building, after all, is what I do best, even when money is not readily available!

Right, Donny. You stiff the contractors, then declare bankruptcy. It's the way you've always done business.

Trump’s lies on his business dealings in Russia were a profound betrayal of voters

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...131_story.html

...we know Mr. Trump thought it perfectly acceptable to clandestinely pursue his personal business interest with the government of a prime U.S. adversary while advancing a presidential platform of improving relations with the regime. Whether that was illegal, it was a profound betrayal of the voters.

Mr. Trump defended his actions last November, after Mr. Cohen confessed to lying about the extent of the negotiations, by saying there was no reason for him to give up “opportunities” such as the proposed Moscow tower because “there was a good chance that I wouldn’t have won” the election. But the record shows it was his presidential candidacy itself that created the opportunity.

Mr. Cohen and another Trump associate, Felix Sater, began working on a plan to license Mr. Trump’s name to a Russian developer after he announced he was running for president in June 2015. Before then, Mr. Sater told BuzzFeed, “a lot of Russians weren’t willing to pay a premium licensing fee to put Donald’s name on their building. Now maybe they would be.”
