A Horse Named Stranger Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 That story was covered in the original NYT story linked a few pages back. He basically admitted to it, but that's not the kicker tho. The kicker is... this happened in Brazil, while he claimed to have attended college in the US (for which no records exist; for obviously reasons a cynical observer might add).

Seriously, I think it's telling that that's the only thing he bothered to deny - rather unequivocally. Watergate was "follow the money." Here it's "follow the the one lie he's not willing to cop to."

No, there is no mechanism for recall elections among US House (or Senate) members. And any effort to do so would almost certainly be deemed unconstitutional.

Martell Spy Posted December 28, 2022 Share Posted December 28, 2022 Trump tax returns to be released by House panel on Friday https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/27/politics/trump-tax-returns-release-friday/index.html Quote The House Ways and Means Committee will release former President Donald Trump’s tax returns Friday morning, a source familiar confirmed to CNN. The returns will be placed into the congressional record on Friday morning during a House pro forma session. That pro forma session will occur around 9 a.m. ET on Friday. There will also be a formal announcement Friday from the committee. The highly anticipated release comes after the panel last week asserted that the IRS failed to properly audit the former president’s taxes while he was in office.

The fact that they closed ranks after Jan.6 is all the evidence you need of their guilt- hang them one by one every day while you hold a drill/marksman competition among active and reserve NCOs from all branches to form the President's new personal guard As Commander in Chief I bet it wouldn't even be that hard to get the right people working on the problem Fuck campaigning in 2024, put that game show on in the early Fall programming window and you'll cruise to reelection.
