"John Bolton, fired White House hawk, is negotiating impeachment testimony in new hammer blow to Trump."
Roger Stone, a self-described “dirty trickster” and longtime adviser to Donald Trump, was found guilty on Friday of obstructing a congressional investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
The verdict makes Stone only the latest among a growing list of people once in the president’s inner circle who have been convicted on federal charges. News of Stone’s convictions came as dramatic testimony at the public impeachment hearing unfolded on Capitol Hill.
A jury found Stone guilty on all seven counts, including lying to lawmakers about WikiLeaks, tampering with witnesses and obstructing a House intelligence committee investigation into whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia to tip the 2016 election.
The President’s unscheduled stop at the Walter Reed military hospital on Saturday involved a battery of tests to determine whether the President was exposed to a chemical agent that is suspected of being introduced into his food, says a White House connected source who shared details with Alex Jones of InfoWars.com.
Something I've wondered since he took office is what's to stop him exploiting/leveraging any classified information he was privy to once his time's up?
His own stupidity and hubris? Or rather, it wouldn't necessarily stop him, but he'd probably give himself away almost instantly. He is wholly innocent to the concept of discretion, remember.
I doubt this is true. His mentors have been high level operators. Leveraging compromising information. The Roy Cohns of this world.
I didn't mean he'd do it in secret. I meant he could just say "I'll sell this to the Russians" or whoever "unless you pay/give me what I want". It's not as though the GOP or any of his supporters would care and any attempt to arrest him would cause all sorts of shit.
