The only thing that can bring down Trump in the next two years is him being too stupid to realize he can issue pardons.

Fortunately that's entirely possible.

Nah that would definitely be an impeachment brought on by light treason.

Actually, pardoning his administration/campaign officials would be a kiss of death, since that removes their ability to plead the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination and forces them to either testify or perjure themselves.

This is basically it. It's all just like the cries about finding the "leakers." The unmasking, which as Clapper described thoroughly in multiple committee hearings, is basically a specific request from someone to unredact part of an intelligence report that typically just contains US Person 1, US Person 2, etc. There were multiple legitimate intelligence intercepts of Trump's people talking to monitored ruskies. Certain ones of these were requested to be unmasked by senior Obama officials and were then disseminated along with the rest of the trump/russia intel to make sure that this didn't get completely squashed after the change of office. Any requests regarding unmasking are partisan attacks trying to make it appear like Obama admin was specifically targeting/monitoring trump people.

Posted here first because I don't know if the intercept is legit or not, but they apparently have released some NSA documents that detail out GRU activity to penetrate voting systems and compromise emails of a number of candidates. Straight up state level attacks. It does not say how much of these attacks were successful.

Conspiracy time:

The DEEP STATE wants this info out. Winner is the fall-guy. She gets convicted (confirming the document's authenticity) sentenced to prison and conveniently dies in prison.

A week later, she's sitting on a beach in the Mediterranean with a new name, bank account full, sipping drinks with umbrellas.

You also have to run "deep state" as it's being used now through bullshit-to-English translation. There is a definition for it but that has as much to do with what Donnie says as my left elbow does with a hundred dollar bill.

A "proposal" for the "wall" to have "solar panels"


Edit: jfc https://twitter.com/PeterSullivan4/status/872204397190590464

quote:

In the meeting at the White House today with Republican Congressional leaders, President Trump spent some time talking up his latest idea for the border wall. According to 3 people with direct knowledge of the meeting, Trump floated the idea that the wall could be covered in solar panels and the electricity generated used to pay for the cost.

Trump said his vision was a wall 40 feet to 50 feet high and covered with solar panels so they'd be "beautiful structures," the people said. The President said that most walls you hear about are 14 feet or 15 feet tall but this would be nothing like those walls. Trump told the lawmakers they could talk about the solar-paneled wall as long as they said it was his idea. One person cautioned that the President wasn't presenting the solar-paneled wall as the definite solution.
