shoe: There won't be any email from the President. He doesn't use email. There is unlikely to be any recorded phone call of the President admitting collusion. Thus, the Don Jr. email is probably the biggest shoe that CAN drop. It is likely that the only way to establish collusion by the President himself is via circumstantial evidence. Thus, the only realistic way to impeach is via obstruction of justice wrt Comey as was introduced today in the House by a Democrat...but will go nowhere.

If the Republican Senate can just hang in there a little longer, the country will be renamed "American SSR."

I don't understand all this talk about a shoe. Why has Donald Trump's prick of a son been sending emails about shoes?

huh, have you not heard of the expression "waiting for the other shoe to drop"? Look it up.

Never heard that before.

So... what is the second shoe that we are waiting for?

LOL nothing prevents a private citizen from meeting a Russian LOL stretch much hahaha?

I feel sorry for those of u in la la land

@Jam, the 2nd shoe we are waiting for, but which will never appear, is the President emailing someone about Russia collusion.

@ND, meeting with a Russia is cool. But conspiring with them to defeat an American government function is a crime. I know you know that.

"I'd like to apologize to Eric Trump," Colbert said of another of the president's sons. "We always thought you were the dumb one... We were wrong."

Lol ever hear of opposition research it's pretty common in politics

Really ND? Hiring a private investigator is different then dealing with an adversarial foreign power.

Also Hauta-- I'm pretty sure there is going to be a money laundering show dropping at some point in the next year or so.

He met with a private lawyer lol

....who was introduced as working for the Russian gov....

She was s private lawyer lol

The illegality was Trump Jr. thought he was dealing with the Russian government. His emails specified he was going to meet through her with them. So he expressed clear intent to violate the law. Only because he was lied to prevented him from committing a crime.

ND really knows how to obliterate any small hope for reason unity patriotism and hope in fellow man.

Just imagine if Chelsea Clinton meeting had met with a Russian lawyer to get dirt on Trump. Hillary would've been impeached in March and we'd have President Paul Ryan.

guys... you do realize there's no legal standard for impeachment? it's a purely political decision.

also @SamWest the Clinton campaign DID meet with some people connected in the Ukrainian government for information on Trump

do people forget this?

@yanik, even if Hill is guilty, that doesn't absolve Trump. Wouldn't it be more just if both were investigated?

@Hauta

oh yeah, i agree. i just want to have some consistency here

also James -- Hillary is not president. The Ukraine thing should be investigated of course, but the possibility of Russian blackmail controlling our current foreign policy seems a bit more pressing. I find the insinuation that we can only investigate Trump if we investigate Hillary at the same time to be a frustrating false equivalence. And if Hillary WAS president I'm sure we would be knee deep in investigations on the matter.

It doesn't matter when Democrats meet with foreign agents! Only matters when Trump is involved hahhahahahhaha

....that's not what i said. man, it must be a pretty dark cave you are hanging out in.

I think people were less disturbed by the notion of any arbitrary world power influencing our election as they were with a nefarious russia interfering.

Ukraine is not a super power. Ukraine has like .0000000001% ability to influence a US election. Hillary could bribe every member of ukrainanian media and parliament and itd never come close to the capability of Russia at meddling. Idiotic comparison

The comparison would be like if Joe murdered someone and Larry murders 1000 people and you said "while durt durr theyre both murderers. Lock em up hurr durr. These two are equivalent obv. *smokes crack pipe*"

The other problem with the argument is that desire to collude is not the same as actuly doing it

FFS, Clinton has been investigated for decades by the right wing conspiracy machine and never a damn thing has ever been shown.

As the saying goes "I am building my Mexico wall out of Hillary Clinton's emails, the one substance in the universe apparently no one can get over."
