A new Politico/Morning Consult poll released on Wednesday found fewer people currently believe the president should be impeached compared to this time last year. The results also showed the president’s approval rating experienced only the slightest fluctuation following Daniels’s widely-viewed 60 Minutes appearance.
Trump’s approval rating currently stands at 42 percent, just two points lower than his approval rating a week earlier, showing no significant shift in attitude towards the president following the Daniels interview.
Meanwhile, 39 percent of voters believe Congress should start the impeachment process against Trump—four points lower than in May 2017, when 43 percent were keen to see the president impeached. This is compared to the 48 percent who do not think Congress should impeach Trump.
One thing is certain. We have entered an age where the American electorate no longer see impeachment as just a tool to remove an elected official over "high crimes and misdemeanors". Many, apparently see the tool as a means to undo the results of an election, simply because they are unhappy with who won.

Trump Asks to Review Material Seized from Cohen
APRIL 15, 11:45 pm
“President Trump asked a federal judge Sunday night to allow him to review documents that FBI agents seized from the office of his longtime lawyer before criminal investigators have a chance to see the material,” the Washington Post reports.
“The request underscores the high stakes in an ongoing legal fight in federal court in New York, where Michael Cohen, Trump’s lawyer, is also fighting to get a chance to review material seized as part of a criminal investigation of his business dealings.

”Trump Is Much More Worried About Cohen Than Comey
APRIL 16, 8:29 am EDT
Jonathan Swan: “The main game for Trump — and the reason his agitation levels went through the roof the last two weeks — is what happened to Michael Cohen. Trump allies are exponentially more worried about the New York feds’ probe and the prospect of investigators poring over Trump’s business dealings than they are anything Comey is saying.”

Comey rips Obama for comments on Clinton case: He 'jeopardized' DOJ
But in a portion of the interview that did not air during ABC News’ Sunday night special, Comey also criticized Obama with regard to his comments on the Clinton email probe.
“We had the problem that President Obama had twice publicly basically said, 'There’s no there, there.' In an interview with—on Fox, an interview on '60 Minutes,' I think. Both times he said that. So that’s his Justice Department,” Comey said, noting that it “really did surprise” him.
“He’s a very smart man and a lawyer. And so it surprised me. He shouldn’t have done it. It was inappropriate,” Comey said.
Of course it didn't air.
President Trump's Million plus man/ woman March off of food stamps (snap).
Comey unrepairable Damage done to the FBI and DoJ.
Comey said he did not vote in 2016 for Pres. Yet he wants to Nullify all votes FOR President trump?
Comey is certainly an equal opportunity offender. Although more equal to Trump than Obama.
What a sanctimonious, pompous, self-serving ass he is.

Faux desperately trying to change the subject again...If I am not mistaken, Obama and Hillary have been out of office for well over a year, and you with faux a still fixated on them instead of the current embarrassment in chief...Time to bring honor back to the oval orafice....The damage being done to the US is being led by your idiot in chief and his BS attack of the FBI.....Idiots..
James can't read plain English and he's too cowardly to use his name.
Sen. Orrin Hatch (R-UT), criticizing the effort by Sen. Thom Tillis (R-NC) to protect special counsel Robert Mueller from being fired by President Trump:
“It’s not good politics in the end. It says you don’t trust the president.”
LMFAO
Who does?
James Boswell of Normal, Illinois is a pedophile.
A person who sees moral equivalence in Charlottesville, who talks about and treats women like they’re pieces of meat, who lies constantly about matters big and small and insists the American people believe it — that person’s not fit to be president of the United States, on moral grounds. And that’s not a policy statement. Again, I don’t care what your views are on guns or immigration or taxes.
There’s something more important than that that should unite all of us, and that is our president must embody respect and adhere to the values that are at the core of this country. The most important being truth. This president is not able to do that. He is morally unfit to be president.

Comey in one part of the interview said he wasnt making decisions based on political fortunes. Then in another he admits that he did ( when he reopened the hillary case).
What a liar he is.
Razor @hale_razor
Shorter Comey: I felt the extremely careless candidate was leading, so I drafted her exoneration figuring she’d beat the morally unfit candidate, against whom I have evidence of obstruction, which I did nothing with for 11 months but buy my book

"James can't read plain English and he's too cowardly to use his name."
He's the last one here to speak of someone else's morals.
Just not normal for a grown man to find 11 year old kids sexy.
The challenge of this president is that he will stain everyone around him. And the question is, how much stain is too much stain and how much stain eventually makes you unable to accomplish your goal of protecting the country and serving the country? So I don’t know.
James Boswell of Normal, Illinois is a pedophile.
You’re about to lead a country that has an adversary attacking it and I don’t remember any questions about, “So what are they going to do next? How might we stop it? What’s the future look like? Because we’ll be custodians of the security of this country.” There was none of that. It was all, “What can we say about what they did and how it affects the election that we just had.”
James Boswell of Normal, Illinois is a pedophile.
You cannot have, as president of the United States, someone who does not reflect the values that I believe Republicans treasure and Democrats treasure and independents treasure. That is the core of this country. That’s our foundation. And so impeachment, in a way, would short-circuit that.
I think impeaching and removing Donald Trump from office would let the American people off the hook and have something happen indirectly that I believe they're duty bound to do directly. People in this country need to stand up and go to the voting booth and vote their values.
James Boswell of Normal, Illinois is a pedophile.
How do you know when trump surrogates are lying......whenever they open their mouth!!!! Another complete pile of bullshit from the alternate fake fact speaker....kelly the bitch....
The White House painted ex-FBI Director James Comey as a power hungry bureaucrat who relished private meetings with President Trump.
“This man, Jim Comey, loves to be within the proximity of power and having dinner alone with the President,” Kellyanne Conway, counselor to the President, said on ABC News’ “Good Morning America.” “He loved being alone in the Oval Office, and wanted a piece of it.”
I bet comey would rather have a prostate exam......
Why are we polling "impeach" before we have the grounds for impeachment stated?
That 39% of the people want Trump impeached, on general principle apparently, is not very encouraging for his stature as President.

Oh please.
You democrats were calling for impeachment the day he was ignaurated.
You know, the same day you democrats boycotted?
Actually, what Democrats are saying is that any thought or talk of impeachment should come only after Mueller has completed his investigation, and then only if there is evidence calling for impeachment.

‘Very unpopular with most people’
During a joint news conference with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, Trump said that, as FBI director, Comey “was very unpopular with most people.”
During a joint news conference with Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos, President Trump called former FBI Director James B. Comey "very unpopular with most people."
Trump was responding to a reporter who asked if the president had done anything that could warrant criminal charges, presumably in connection with his firing of Comey.
“I actually thought when I made that decision — and I also got a very, very strong recommendation, as you know, from the deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein — but when I made that decision, I actually thought that it would be a bipartisan decision,” Trump said. “Because you look at all of the people on the Democratic side, not only the Republican side, that were saying such terrible things about Director Comey.”
"The effort to impeach President Donald Trump is already underway.
At the moment, the new commander in chief was sworn in, a campaign to build public support for his impeachment went live at ImpeachDonaldTrumpNow.org, spearheaded by two liberal advocacy groups aiming to lay the groundwork for his eventual ejection from the White House."

Of course not.

There are always people calling for impeachment, just as there were those calling for impeachment of Obama from day one. (Not a citizen, you know.)
"Actually, what MOST Democrats are saying is that any thought or talk of impeachment should come only after Mueller has completed his investigation, and then only if there is evidence calling for impeachment"
Bullshit.
"the American Civil Liberties Union said it has taken legal action to obtain government documents that may show Trump’s potential conflicts of interest."
Weird how people can re-invent their own memories to justify their opinions. I for one have never called for impeachment, although I would support it if crimes sufficient to warrant it are uncovered.
It seems like those who are constantly claiming that it's all about politics, are themselves so bound up in partisanship that they can't imagine anyone being objective about it.
Sure.
Roger - this is what the Constitution states:
"The President, Vice President and all civil officers of the United States, shall be removed from office on impeachment for, and conviction of, treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors."
But in typical fashion, a liberal doesn't care what the constitution states. You just see it as however you want it to be seen.
A mirror moment.

Trump's personal lawyer names mystery client in court: Sean Hannity
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump’s longtime personal lawyer Michael Cohen revealed in court that Fox News host Sean Hannity was one of his clients after a federal judge overruled his effort to withhold the client’s identity.
Cohen, Trump’s fiercely loyal and pugnacious lawyer, was in court to ask a judge to limit the ability of federal prosecutors to review documents seized from him last week through a warrant as part of a criminal investigation.
Cohen has argued that some of the seized documents are protected by attorney-client privilege or otherwise unconnected to the investigation, but Judge Kimba Wood rejected his efforts to mask a client Cohen had said wanted to avoid publicity.
“I understand if he doesn’t want his name out there, but that’s not enough under the law,” Wood said, before ordering a lawyer for Cohen to disclose the name.
Whatcha been doin.' Sean?
But in typical fashion, a liberal doesn't care what the constitution states. You just see it as however you want it to be seen.
the alky thinks max scene waters and adam schiff define the high crimes and misdemeanors that lead to impeachment.
Comey is a central witness in that part of the investigation, having documented several troubling encounters with Trump before his dismissal in which the president allegedly demanded his "loyalty," urged him to drop the Flynn investigation and to publicly assert that the investigation did not involve Trump.
"I never bought the stuff that I was being fired because of the Hillary Clinton investigations," Comey said in an interview with USA TODAY, referring to the president's earlier claim that he was dissatisfied with Comey's handling of the investigation into Clinton's use of private email server while secretary of State.
"It always struck me as a pretext, from the first moment that I saw it. But I took him at his word from what he said in the days thereafter, that in some respect, I was fired because of the Russia investigation..."
That investigation, however, could be threatened if Trump moves to dismiss Mueller or Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, who oversees Mueller's work at the Justice Department.
Trump, meanwhile, has repeatedly criticized both for their roles in the inquiry, most recently following last week's raid on Cohen's office in New York.
Rosenstein has offered unwavering support for Mueller's work, most recently in an interview last month with USA TODAY. "The special counsel is not an unguided missile," Rosenstein said then. "I don't believe there is any justification at this point for terminating the special counsel.
"If the president can fire a independent prosecutor whose working within the chain of command in the Justice Department because he doesn't like the result they may be headed toward, that is a fundamental attack on the rule of law."

ROFLMFAO !!!

The funny thing about that is that Hannity says that Cohen was never his lawyer, never retained, never represented him. Might have paid him $10 once to talk real estate, he said. i.e, Cohen was fibbing about his "three clients" that needed to keep "thousands of documents" confidential.
That's a LOT of paperwork for $10 LOL.
