Trump’s personal CPA has just been subpoenaed by Bob Muller! ????
This man has worked for the Trump company since the Trump company started!
This man is the CPA who has done the personal tax returns for every member of the Trump family!
This shit is getting exciting!
Trump is going down! ??Fuck Trump ??
Go get them! Mr. Muller ??
I love it and always believed it would come to be. Trump is a low life scum bag and it is just a matter of time before he goes down but to think Pence is also not a good thing. I believe Mueller will show the entire election to be a fraud and that alone will alter the succession.
Wishful thinking. You would have real trouble showing Pence colluded, even if it were proven that Trump did (which I don't truly expect, it's the lying since taking office that's worse). Even then, nothing "changes" the succession. We have a constitutional system. Speaker of the House comes after the VP, and so on.
@Paul4747 Perhaps but he did purger himself and lie about what he knew. He believes he is related to jesus and that is his problem. The entire election will be shown to be fake. It was rigged and the outcome is not factual. The midterms will produce a democrat speaker of house and from there we dream
@EMC2 Sorry, but once again this is wishful thinking. There was no "rigging". That would mean manipulation of the actual vote count. What did happen was apparently influence through social media on Trump's behalf by bots, set up and controlled by Russian hackers. That's a far far cry from "rigged".
Due to the peculiarities of the Electoral College system, Trump, with fewer votes than Clinton, nevertheless won the election. This is a fact. Why voters in those states and districts voted for him, is a matter of multiple interconnected factors. He lied, about 75% of the time. His voters were eager to believe his lies because they pandered to their pre-existing world view. Trump offered easy solutions in a complex world; solutions that, it turns out, don't work and can't even be implemented in many cases, but nevertheless cater to people who want a "strong leader" to "save" them from having to think about and make hard choices. Trump pandered to people who feared the changes in American society, and promised a return to simpler times, when America was "great"; i.e. when it looked like white middle class heterosexual Christians. Trump ran a nativist campaign, based on fear of the Other, the immigrant, the Outsider. He ran a smear campaign backed by countless internet volunteers who repeated his lies for him (some of which were certainly Russian bot accounts). The media did not hold Trump accountable; their attempts to do so were portrayed as "left-wing bias", which is a myth that the Right has sold for 40 years.
In short, of all the reasons Trump won the election, fraud was not one of them. It was a legitimate result, as much as I could wish it otherwise. Crying that it was "rigged" is taking a page from Trump's playbook.
Trouble is.... then you get Pence. He scares the shit out of me. He actually knows what he's doing.
Maybe Trump's removal from office will help keep Pence honest? If not there's always more in the line of succession. Fuck the constitutional crisis bit. We'll survive.
YAY! Perhaps this year will turn out OK after all.
