    But for anything to happen, it requires enough GOP congresspeople to put America above party interests, and there are DAMN few of those.

    People aren't believing their BS with the anonymous sources anymore.

    Of course there is. Trump is selling out the American people, and it's being documented in real time.

    Confirmation of bias?

    Those 2 outlets also have a very long history in whitewashing things that dont follow their particular politics. I've already pointed out 2 of the stories they they have posted that have proven to be false. A few others on here have shown how their various "bombshell scoops" have been much ado about nothing.

    For anything to happen there needs to be actual evidence....not anonymously sourced documents that the reporting entity has not even seen to verify.

    Just rabid frothing at the mouth hysteria from those on the left at this point. This is the equivalent of the Birther movement. Lots of jawboning that is very light on evidence.

    If they manage to get rid of Trump then Pence becomes President, he's the one who signed the "Religious Freedom Restoration Act" in Indiana. I really want Pence choosing the next 1 or 2 Supreme Court Justices.

    So why not just turn this over to the special prosecutor? Hes the one that will be able to do something about it, not the wapo. I wonder what this imiginary source is getting for their faithful service to the WAPO.

    Just like the dems that put America first when we had a President that lied under oath? Dont act like politicians putting party over the US is anything new or solely a GOP thing.

    There's a reason that you ask the White House about the validity of the story...

    You should get the White House to actually claim that the story is false.

    For the NYT to say the WH lied about an unsourced story they wrote?

    Spicer is thinking about his next job. I doubt he will lie for Trump anymore.

    From what I can see the White house just refused to address the question directly. They didn't confirm or deny.

    I don't know what you mean by "the left media", but NY Times, Washington Post are respected and reliable newspapers. They don't get absolutely everything right, but they are pretty good and you can be darned sure that they don't print things like this unless they are confident it is accurate.

    You and I both know that the NY Times would not publish their denial in that manner.

    Thank goodness for this journalism. Because it is what will rid us of this atrocity passing himself off as a leader. Thank you reporters! Trump hates them and hangs on their every word because they will be the ones that sink his rat infested ship in his reptile infested swamp.

    You think they have time to address every claim of a fake document?

    Spicer immediately echoed the criticism from Trump about Comey and did not deny the validity of the quotes.
