Pelosi Statement on Special Counsel Indictment and Arrest of Trump Campaign Advisor Roger Stone


https://www.speaker.gov/newsroom/12519-4/

Quote:
“In the face of 37 indictments, the President’s continued actions to undermine the Special Counsel investigation raise the questions: what does Putin have on the President, politically, personally or financially? Why has the Trump Administration continued to discuss pulling the U.S. out of NATO, which would be a massive victory for Putin?

Stephen King @StephenKing
Another Trump insider appears bound for the old (Roger)stone hotel. How long before Trump supporters realize that you don’t surround yourself with dirty guys unless you’re dirty yourself?

Trump is a fraud
By Michael Gerson
Columnist
January 28 at 5:19 PM

https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...c17_story.html

Quote:
Those 37 percent who approve of Trump’s performance may point to the state of the economy or the composition of the Supreme Court. They may be impressed by his destruction of norms or enthused by his promotion of exclusion. They may want a president who speaks his mind, even when it is hateful gibberish. They may want a president who is an institutional arsonist, even if the result is mere destruction.

But no one can reasonably claim to believe in Trump’s brand as it was sold in 2016. We have plumbed the shallows of his boasts. They are refuted lies. And whatever else the president may be, he is a fraud.

GOP poised to rebuke Trump

... with a slap on the wrist. C’mon, Repubes. He’s a threat to national security. He needs to go.

If you’re still working for Trump, his stink won’t ever wash off
A juicy tell-all can’t absolve you now, ex-Trumpers. You’ll be remembered as enablers.

By Rick Wilson
Rick Wilson is a Republican political consultant, a Daily Beast columnist and the author of "Everything Trump Touches Dies: A Republican Strategist Gets Real About the Worst President Ever."

Quote:
If you’re the next press secretary, policy adviser or White House counsel contemplating a melodramatic, self-absolving throwing-in of your Trump-caddying towel, don’t expect hosannas from the public in return for your pseudo-courage. You might hope Trump’s stench will fade, but I’ll still smell it. If there’s any justice left, everybody else will, too. Like a bad ‘80s haircut, your political cowardice will be forever preserved on the Interwebs. Your 15 minutes of shame won’t rehabilitate you, because selling out your Trump-world cronies can’t erase your original sin: selling out your country.

So peddle your fictional nonfiction. Write your anonymous op-eds. It won’t matter. For a year, or two, or more, you stood athwart history yelling: “Thank you, sir! May I have another?” You served a man bent on division and distraction. You helped him make America grate again. Even after he leaves office, you won’t be able to live it down.

Leaked schedules show Trump has spent more than half of last 3 months in 'Executive Time': Axios

Yelling at CNN... Freaking disaster.

If not for Fox & Friends and Hannity, he'd have no advisors he listens to.

Remember when a team was actually honored to meet the president at the White House? Seems like so long ago...
