    • WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Maryland and the District of Columbia can proceed with their lawsuit accusing President Donald Trump of unconstitutionally accepting payments from foreign and state interests through his Washington hotel. The decision clears the way for the plaintiffs to seek financial records and other materials from the president's company.


      I'd like Kiddy try to explain his way out of this one.

          House of Representatives conservatives have filed articles of impeachment in an effort to oust Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

          The measures were introduced on Wednesday evening by Representatives Mark Meadows and Jim Jordan.

          They accuse him of stonewalling their inquiries, which his department denies.

          This should go nowhere.

          And more fun stuff,
          The president's phone calls with foreign leaders are no longer any of your concern.

          • It won't pass in the Senate so it is just pointless posturing. I do wonder if Trump will use this as cover to try to kill the law enforcement investigation during rhe August recess though.

              Trump is a petty sack of **** and you can't even see that. And yes, Trump is definitely guilty of treason. Conspiring with the enemies of this country and engaging in illegal business dealings with those enemies is treason.

                You're in the wrong thread. This thread is about newsworthy real news. Not fake news, and not about your silly agenda against the great state I live in.

                Oh and it still is illegal, but you don't know half of what is going on in this state.

                      As much as I'd enjoy for Trump to be charged with treason, this just makes him a common criminal.

                      And technically, since we're not actually at war with Russia, it isn't conspiring with an enemy.

                      But it doesn't make it any less douchy.

                        Politifact says the same
                        https://www.politifact.com/truth-o-m...putin-meeting/

                        Trumps behavior in Helsinki may be called treasonous, but he didn't commit the criminal act of "treason", as the USA aren't in a formal state of war with russia

                        • Some say otherwise.

                          https://www.newsweek.com/did-trump-c...rs-say-1027643

                          Treason, however, doesn't carry the sentence some may think. Five years in prison.

                          Money laundering and financial crimes carry far heavier sentences.

                            The US is at war with NK. Did Trump have secret talks with their leader, or military leaders?

                          • Hmm from the article you posted.

                            "No matter how repugnant one might consider the president’s statements in Helsinki, they do not meet the constitutional definition of 'treason,' which is very narrow and addresses providing aid to an 'enemy,'" Garber told Newsweek. "Russia is not technically an enemy because we are not at war with it. These matters are far too important to allow partisan aims to diminish serious constitutional analysis."
                            I don't think John Brennan's tweet counts as proof.
