President Donald Trump has expressed concern that he could be impeached when Democrats take over the House, a source close to the President told CNN Monday. The source said Trump sees impeachment as a "real possibility."

But Trump isn't certain it will happen, the source added.

A separate source close to the White House told CNN that aides inside the West Wing believe "the only issue that may stick" in the impeachment process is the campaign finance violations tied to former Trump attorney Michael Cohen's payouts to Trump's alleged mistresses.

Impeachment talk has ratcheted up in recent days following a blockbuster filing from prosecutors in the Southern District of New York. In that filing, prosecutors directly alleged for the first time that Cohen was being directed by Trump when he broke the law during the 2016 presidential campaign.

Well duh.

Doesn't need to be impeached, the Democrats in Congress just keeping it newsworthy through Nov 2020 may do damage enough to make him a one term President.  Bumpy road ahead.

There’s zero chance of 67 Senators voting for removal, so who cares?

Jim Acosta huh?  Well, it must be true then.

Has there been a presser since he got his pass back?   I'm guessing he is making things up now because he hasn't been on TV lately.

CNN is now a credible source?

"Unnamed sources"... "Jim Acosta"...

Two phrases that veritably scream veracity when the topic is Trump.

 Republicans impeached Bill Clinton "for sex"  and paid the political price.    The Dems seem to want to ignore the lessons of history.   Of course, Clinton did more than diddle an intern on the White House rug; he committed perjury.   In Trump's case,  the issue isn't perjury but whether there is a "campaign finance violation" when one pays from his own pocket to tamp down money-driven threats to personal reputation.     Seems to me that Trump didn't lose the right to address blackmail just because he was running for President.

Did they ask Trump for money? It is my impression they wanted tabloid money instead. And that isn't blackmail. It was Trump trying to prevent them from selling their stories. And in one case (that we know of) the tabloid bought the story for the purpose of burying it during the campaign for Trump's benefit and their loss - and that is a major campaign contribution which wasn't legally claimed.

Considering his popularity went up after impeachment and he wore it like a badge of honor for the rest of his term, I’d say he didn’t.

The only thing Clinton ever cared about was where is next piece of ass was coming from.

Mueller being sued for trying to FORCE FALSE TESTIMONY  from Corsi.

IT ALL stinks to high heaven.  We knew it all along. 
-------------------------------------------------
“The special counsel and his prosecutorial staff threatened to indict Dr. Corsi, who is now 72 years old, and effectively put him in jail for the rest of his life,

unless Dr. Corsi would provide the false testimony that they demanded,

even after being informed that the testimony desired would be false,” the 78-page document said, according to NBC. “This is criminal.”=ARTICLE

The National Enquirer made a practice of buying celebrity stories and burying them,  apparently for its own benefit since it gave the tabloid great leverage to obtain other stories and gossip from those celebrities.   It had bought and buried Trump stories going back 20 years - long before Trump ran for President.    Link

Nobody would be happier to be 'impeached' than Trump himself.
He thought he was in charge of a functioning government.
Instead, he wound up being a kindergarten teacher.

China, Russia, Mexico, come on in. Every dynasty comes and goes. What the hell? There is no one here to stop you.

Yea.
Unfortunately, Life doesn't work that way. We will all pay for their ignorant stupidity. The same thing was said in 400B.C.

He's relevant whether we like it or not. I think he's worth paying attention to at least. I'm not saying I believe anything he says.

Only long enough for us to mock and then point and laugh.
