    Bill Clinton was nailed (no pun intended) for committing perjury under oath. Last time I checked that is most definitely a crime. One in which usually involves jail time.

    I'm always still in trouble again

        Let's start with the Firing of James Comey and Trump admitting it was "over the Russia Thing." That is a good case for Obstruction of Justice.
        Violation of the Foreign Emoulents Clause Undermining the Judiciary.... I mean there's other things, but above all, Entanglements with Russia tops the list. Trump has jeopardized our security to Putin and anyone else who promises him the almighty $$

                Seriously?

                It is not criminal for a president to exercise powers explicitly granted to him in the Constitution, and even the Democrats wanted Comey fired until Trump actually did it.

                Trump has not even come close to violating the Emoulents Clause.

                "Undermining the Judiciary"? I have no idea what you're referring to.

                Finally, there is zero evidence of Russian "entanglements" to the point that Democrats are anticipating that the Mueller investigation is going to be a complete bust and are already looking for new witches to hunt.

                  There is enough evidence that Manafort just got 47 months.

                    Yeah, for something that had zip to do with the Trump campaign, and the sentence was significantly less than the 19- to 24-years that was recommended by Mueller's goon squad! Judge Ellis even made a point of saying that this case had nothing at all to do with Russia or the 2016 election.

                      Is that ALL!?!?!?! Some of the more optimistic guesses were leniency to SEVEN YEARS!

                        Actually that was all from this judge. He's going to be sentenced again in a D.C. court next week where he faces up to 10 years. The case against Manafort's bank fraud and his breaking federal laws over a decade is bad.

Most of the far right wants to over look the finance mismanagement, the directions to lie, the firing of Comey to protect the campaign's from investigation the Moscow negotiations for the Trump tower, the problems with security clearances, the issues between Trump and Kim Jong-Un, etc etc etc because they believe that putting up with All that corruption and criminality will over turn Roe v Wade.
                          If that is the case, then it seems to me the answer for liberals is obvious: Get behind an overturn of Roe v. Wade (which doesn't even require them to give up their fight for abortion "rights", it just means they have to convince state legislatures to pass laws granting such, which they have in some states) and thus remove that from Trump.

                            Not at all.

                            OTOH it is only a year after Charlottesville with its chanting slogans like “White lives matter” and “Jews will not replace us", which was not unambiguously condemned by Nationalist president Trump. In not doing so, Trump has normalized racism and anti-antisemitism in America.

                              Manafort had no more to do with Trump's campaign than Hillary had to do with Libya.....You're that deliberately blind MM....It's hard to believe the republicans have that much hypocrisy. But It's why I'm not one any more.

                                Umm ... what? Of course Manafort was involved in the Trump campaign. Nobody has disputed that, but the crimes for which he was convicted and sentenced have nothing to do with the 2016 election and were committed many years before Trump even announced his candidacy.
