    It’s pretty obvious the judge found the legal claims by trump to be ridiculous. But everyone who doesn’t get all their news from RW blogs would have no idea.

    Justice Roberts will agree with the judge's interpretation; it is in the Chief Justice's wheelhouse

    And you don't see anything F'd up about this, at all my fellow American? The courts basically pissed away the 4th Amendment in my view. This is beyond Trump, it's amazing that Congress has not yet abused this horrible idea of a ruling which spits in the face of the constitution.

    You want to pretend the president is both a regular citizen and above the law at the same time, it doesn’t work. You and me can’t violate the emoluments laws. He can.

    Why do you call someone who has never been convinced a “criminal”? Is it because you JUST KNOW?

    But it is your Liberal buddies who have permanently assumed bent over position and grabbed the ankles. Trump is having you any which way he can.

    Enjoy.

    Not sure why it's any judge has a say in this.

    There's no law being broken if he doesnt, so why this concerns the judicial system...

    Bineg arrested and charged with obstruction for one. Ordering someone to refuse to cooperate with law enforcement is felony obstruction of justice.

    I admit that it is rare, but punishment is well within the rights of Congress for contempt. He could face up to one year in prison. He could also be charged a fine of $100,000.

    I think that they need to hold folks responsible for their choices/actions if they are to be taken seriously. Political games should be set aside and act upon their words and threats.

    Well, whatever happens to him, the process needs to start today if he doesn't appear... should be an immediate committee contempt vote (with no debating like last time). I would get the Ways and Means committee to vote Mnuchin in contempt as well, then the full House can vote contempt on all 3 (plus Barr) at the same time...

    It's not much, but it's a start...

    Ahhh... here's a new article on the topic... that sounds like the plan.

    And you call yourself an American.................

    No, contrary to your disgusting and totally false claim, the President is not a king and is not above the law.

    We are in complete agreement. Threats, to this point, have proven hollow. Dems are thinking about 2020 rather than doing the right thing.

    I was just laughing at the stupidity of the idea that the president can ignore the judiciary.

    No president is above the law, the histories are going to severely tarnish his reputation, and if he live long enough, he will be in the dock for his crimes.

    What are you talking about man? You can do business with foreign nations as a private citizen.
