Not even a month....damn that was fast.

We can only hope the rest of Trump's appointees resign as quickly.

Any chance they'll actually get him for violating the Logan Act?

I'd like to imagine that "violating the Logan Act" somehow involves offending the Wolverine.

*Prays quietly Bannon is next*

Honestly, this Administration is a mess.
It's hard to believe anyone still supports Trump, and I hold out hope his popularity plumments and his supporters see what he really is. Then again, I have said that after every Trump scandal.

They'll just keep pointing fingers at Liberals and say Hillary would have been worse, since that seems to be the only thing the political extremes seem to know how to do.

Unfortunately they will keep saying that until the nukes fall.

He should be arrested.

He should be arrested.

Wouldn't amount to much. Trump would probably pardon him, in the unlikely event that charges were pressed.

For a pardon to happen a conviction would need to take place. I would think a pardon for that type of crime would be pretty bad a PR move, especially since it will convince people Trump really is in the pockets of Russia.

Say what you will about Hillary Clinton; at least she knew how to be the President.
Trump knows how to slap his name on things.
If the last few weeks are a for telling of the next four years, Democrats should be pretty excited.

It's not likely to be Cuomo imo, he is a solid Governor, but his ties to the ever so maligned establishment are very very deep.
More realistically, Democrats can hope for a strong Warren, Newsom, Booker, or Gillibrand campaign, though my pet candidate is the always funny Al Franken.

Nixon was pardoned without a conviction, and the Trump administration is proving extremely able at obfuscating the truth.

What? No it doesn't.

Ford pardoned Nixon before Nixon had been convicted of any crime.

I'm not an expert, but issuing/accepting a Pardon us tantamount to admitting there was a crime, correct?

It is exceptionally hard to sympathize with them and the issues they care about when the embodiment of their political will is a man like Trump.

In the same way that settling out of court when you're being sued admits guilt, a process which Trump is all too familiar with. You think he'd give two shits?
