Summary of what we know about Trump and Russia

This article is a very comprehensive overview

 

Trump’s bad comments on NATO and World War I

The US spends more on the military because it chooses to do so.  Trump still doesn’t understand defense spending and NATO.  He is right in saying other countries could contribute more to NATO but he doesn’t appear to understand the funding.

His comments on World War I and II were tasteless and wrong.

 

Trump makes political comments at a presidential event

This happens so often nobody comments on it.  It’s still wrong.

Trump addressed the Project Safe Neighborhoods National Conference in Kansas City on December 7th.

See this CNN article.

It points out that he talked about the elections but doesn’t say it is inappropriate at a non-political event.

Other articles didn’t even mention the political stuff while they noted his error about where he was.

Headlines or tweets that don’t point out that Trump is lying

I am starting to see articles pointing out that if media outlets just quote Trump, they are not showing that he is not telling the truth.  This applies to headlines and tweets.

I want Trump to be indicted

I think it’s obvious Trump is a felon.  If Michael Cohen committed felonies over Stormy Daniels/Karen McDougal, how is Trump not guilty too?  Plus he could be guilty of other crimes depending on what Mueller and the Southern District of New York find.

I don’t want impeachment.  It will fail in the Senate if the House brings charges.  Do you really think 20 Republican Senators would vote for conviction no matter what the evidence is?  I doubt it.  Then Trump will say he is vindicated.  The Clinton impeachment process certainly didn’t hurt his popularity.

There are different opinions on whether a sitting president can be indicted.  If it has to wait, there are issues concerning the statute of limitations.  I am posting tweets with links to articles by legal and political experts.
