What the law requires is irrelevant now.

As long as there is no will to enforce, democracy is an ongoing joke.

Why is anyone surprised by what this tyrant does.....including his chief minions, the republicans in the senate, the Barr DOJ, the Supreme Court, etc etc

I see your law and raise you 2 crimes.

"Fuck you" - We'll do as we damn want to , or told to do

Except for the Second Amendment and Article II.

Trump operative goons were tailing our Ambassador in Ukraine. What was Pompeo's role in that?

The "furious" need to do something. Don't hold your breath.

where the Rule of Law still seemed to be embraced by most citizens that would be significant, but in the lawless, hellscape of this administration it ultimately means very little to Dear Leader and his cultists.

we don't live in a democracy, we don't have a president. We live in a kleptocracy and have a dictator. We're at the "well, make me" stage.....and no one who can stop these behaviors is going to, they are part of the power structure.

helping 45 out at the ballot box. Outside of urban and suburban areas 45 is still overwhelmingly popular and rural people vote in way higher percentages than urban and suburban people. We forget thar 45 only needs the electoral college and red, rural states can provide him with that.

will be effed, but 'overwhelmingly popular', is simply not true...and the urban and suburban thing vs. rural is hooey as well. That is if you count votes. Getting set up for the fall?

"I want my 911! I want MY 911! Get me my 911!"

it's criminal, mobster, Pompeo.

walks out of it when it comes to light that an associate of the president's lawyer was secretly engaged in surveillance of the Ambassador to Ukraine, and that her security was at risk.
Fortunately there came a point where Ambassador Yovanovich was warned to come home "on the next available airplane". Someone probably felt she was in physical danger.
No wonder Pompeo got out of that meeting. He had to know what was going on in that whole sordid affair, and he certainly didn't want to field any questions about it.

Embassy/consulate security is only important to Republicans when a Democrat is President.
