President Trump, as of today, is being implicated as a co-conspirator in a federal election crime.
His impeachment might come a lot sooner than we thought.

Trump's lawyer Michael Cohen is pleading guilty to Campaign Finance Violations today. Looks like the sharks are circling in on Trump and his boat full of lies and deceit.

How do you know evidence for that wasn't found in Cohen's seized documents?

A curious point of view MeanMrMustard
Do you think it was a mistake for Nixon to have resigned?

It is illegal for for foreign nationals to seek to influence our elections. Which is why Robert Mueller has indicted two dozen Russians.
It is ALSO illegal for campaigns to accept help from foreign governments and agents. I can cite the specific laws again if you like Simon.

Simon doesn't understand that it's illegal for a foreign government to be involved in our elections. He tries to brush it off as "every candidate seeks to influence the result of the election".
False equivocate much?

The Democrats don't give a rats ass about democracy. The whole thing is falling to pieces and is clearly a political invention
You can't see the wood for the trees can you? It's not about Democrats and Republicans
Facepalm
None of this is above water. Russia sought to influence our election so that Clinton wouldn't be able to check Russian aggression. And Trump's campaign was instrumental in facilitating that.
We need people in office that are chosen by the electorate. Not an illegitimate President appointed by Putin.

Funny how when Trump brought Mueller to the White House to offer him a job as Comey's replacement to lead the FBI he was a "great guy". But now that his Special Council is picking up steam suddenly Mueller is the enemy.
Muller is a Republican appointed by a Republican who was appointed by Trump. Trying to blame the whole thing on Democrats is beyond stupid. Don't waste your time even reading Simon's posts - it's all deflection, obfuscation, and outright lies. The Russian troll farms should offer him a job.

There are two possible avenues for impeachment:
1: If Trump obstructed justice (this is what Nixon got kicked out of office for)
2: If Trump broke the law
The first one, to me, seems to be blatantly obvious. But we'll have to see what Mueller says. Concerning the second one, "collusion" with Russia could potentially break several laws including:
- Accepting a contribution from a foreign government (52 USC 30121)
- Gathering or delivering defense information to aid a foreign government (18 US Code 794)
- Conspiracy to defraud the United States (18 U.S. Code § 371)
- Fraud by wire, radio, or TV (18 USC 1343)
- Benefiting from corrupt foreign practices (15 U.S.C. § 78dd-1)
- Failure to disclose campaign finances ( The Federal Election Campaign Act)
If Muller brings evidence for either of this claims I think impeachment proceedings will begin. And if Democrats take the Senate than I have no doubt Trump will be impeached. Otherwise, with Republican's in power I'd say the odds are 50/50. But all this really hinges on what the Mueller investigation turns up.
We'll have to wait and see.

Supreme Court Rules in Favor of Baker Who Refused to Bake Cake for Gay Couple
by Simon inseems like such an obviously correct decision to overturn the previous overreach - it should never have been necessary to go to the supreme court but happened because the rights of the religious were being ignored.. as the fundamental level, no one should be able to compel you to work for them or to provide services that go against your beliefs, and certainly not have the government be able to force you to comply.. if this was allowed there would be so many unreconcilable situations that would clog up courts over nonsense.. i also have little patience for these activists that intentionally look to be offended.
it really doesn't do their cause any good to go round looking to make trouble for people.
it's also misguided because it ends up strengthening religious rights over effectively stupid issues.. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/04/us/politics/supreme-court-sides-with-baker-who-turned-away-gay-couple.html.

What you can't do is refuse to sell someone something that you are willing to sell to others simply because you don't like some identifiable trait.
-SimonBut isn't that exactly what happened? A gay couple came in asking for a "wedding cake". The wedding cake was not gay. It didn't have a rainbow flag on it. It wasn't topped with two people of the same sex. It didn't have a fabulous unicorn throwing up a handful of glitter on it. Etc.
The business owner was asked to bake a cake for a couple that happened to be gay. They WEREN'T asked to bake a gay cake. This is an important distinction.
I really enjoyed you analogy you gave about a black business owner asked to bake a cake with the confederate flag on it. I can definitely understand why they'd want to refuse. And conversely, if a Christian fundamentalist were asked to bake a cake with a rainbow flag on it I understand why they'd want to refuse as well.
But that's not what happened here.
"The case, Masterpiece Cakeshop Ltd. v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, goes back to 2012. In July of that year, Charlie Craig and David Mullins, a same-sex couple, went to Masterpiece Cakeshop in Lakewood, Colorado, to try to buy a cake for a wedding reception. The owner, Jack Phillips, refused the request, arguing that due to his Christian beliefs, he opposed same-sex marriages and did not want to do anything that looked like an endorsement of a same-sex wedding.
Craig and Mullins filed charges of discrimination in response, citing a Colorado law that prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation by public accommodations (places that are open to the public, such as hotels, restaurants, and bakeries)."
