In a sane country, this SHOULD trigger the end of Trump's presidency

Denying Due Process To Anyone Is Denying Due Process To Everyone

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert
Published on 25 Jun 2018



Here we have violations of TWO of your constitutional amendments. This, in and of itself, ought to cause immediate Articles of Impeachment to be filed TODAY. But we all know this will not happen because of the disgraceful cowardice of your Republican party!

Perhaps you think this foreign newcomer to your website is posting too much. If so, you're probably correct. But I am driven by urgency: you've not a lot of time! The country all of the free world looks to for leadership (whether we admit it or not) is being dismantled, piece by piece, by a monomaniacal arsehole, and I feel compelled to speak out against him as long as I am able. For if your country goes down, mine will surely follow. I hope that I'm not seeming selfish.

Now, if you'll please excuse me, I've not slept on the night just past, and shall now lay down to snatch as much rest as might be possible.

Sincerely yours,
Malcolm

Because of how many stupid individuals support this man. Once you scramble the brains from birth to the boob tube that is Faux. You can't go back. You follow the mentality of Jonestown. Truly insane times we live in.

the Mueller investigation, because Paul Wood seems to think your government has been holding back.

I was hoping the rest of the western world might help us right this ship -- out of its own self interest if for no other reason.

So how might Britain be sucking up to Trump? A Labour MP, Ben Bradshaw, thinks that the government has not always done all it can to assist the Mueller inquiry into whether Trump’s campaign colluded with Russia. Bradshaw was the minister in charge of the Secret Intelligence Service, known as MI6, and has doggedly pursued allegations about Russian meddling in other people’s elections. ‘I’m told that Mueller’s team were over here late last year and they weren’t happy with the level of cooperation they were getting,’ he said. Another source, with links to the ‘intelligence community’, said this was continuing, even after the Skripal poisoning.

These claims — of a decision to go slow with Mueller, driven by expediency — have not been confirmed, but if true, the government may have miscalculated. Britain is trying to get a free-trade deal with the US as we leave the EU. And Theresa May was the first world leader through the door of the Oval Office to see the new president. But whatever promises she wrung from Trump will depend on a follow–through and focus he has not shown. This is a president who could not get his own healthcare bill past a Republican Congress.

SNIP

After President Trump’s shock election victory, I’m told that Steele briefed his old colleagues in the British intelligence apparatus. His material was taken seriously and then handled at an ‘appropriately senior level’ within the government. But once the dossier was leaked and published in January 2017, he appeared to have been sidelined by the government, his friends say, ‘for political reasons’.

Those who know him say that he still appears bruised by his treatment. Nevertheless, when he subsequently spoke to Mueller’s team, the meeting — in the UK — was set up ‘through official channels’. Mueller has so many British leads to follow, there must have been many requests to the authorities here. Ministers, including the Prime Minster, have been coy about how much help he is getting. Perhaps it is a case of appearing to go slow with Mueller, rather than actually failing to cooperate.
