The crimes basically amount to treason, selling out our country to a hostile foreign power so you
could personally make money (and then lying about it). What is likely to be sad to watch or listen
to are all the voters who will try to rationalize their support for someone they were widely advised
had 'issues' which should have precluded any thought that he should be POTUS.
Impeach, then indict!

When Trump nearly went personally bankrupt in the early 1990s, he left a handful of major U.S. banks on the hook for about $3.4 billion in loans he couldn't repay (and about $900 million of which he had personally guaranteed). Hotels, casinos, real estate, an airline and other parts of his debt-ridden portfolio went into bankruptcy protection. In the wake of that collapse, Trump became a pariah among major U.S. banks, and he had to find unique ways of lining up money for the infrequent and small-bore
deals he pursued thereafter. That left him borrowing money from labor unions and small, local lenders. Deutsche, keen at the time to make a name for itself in U.S. investment banking and commercial lending, was less hesitant to do business with Trump.
...
Deutsche's private banking arm has hung in there ever since, with Rosemary Vrablic as the Deutsche banker serving as Trump's primary liaison there. She also has helped Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and a White House adviser, as well as his mother, arrange multimillion-dollar loans and lines of credit at Deutsche. In recent years, Deutsche's private banking unit has loaned Trump money — about $300 million, according to Bloomberg News and Trump's government financial disclosure forms — for such projects as his Washington hotel and the Trump National Doral golf course.
What's likely now, however, is that Trump's dealings with Deutsche — which have represented, at a minimum, a serious and long-standing financial conflict for him given the influence he wields over law enforcement and financial regulation as president — are about to draw greater scrutiny.
The House Financial Services Committee, which Democrats will take control of in January, has the power to subpoena Deutsche for banking records and other information regarding its relationship with the president, the Trump Organization and the Kushner family. It seems almost certain that the committee will deploy that power — especially given the news that Deutsche has landed in the middle of yet another money-laundering probe.

It truly is remarkable. We had a dude on the CA board, Red Sox Fan, who was the embodiment of this. He'd rail about her, and yet when you'd bring up stuff like Trump U and his documented, decades-long history of ripping off contractors and banks he'd just shrug his shoulders and say that's how business was done in those particular fields. Like outright stealing from private citizens and small business men was just no big deal. We're all hypocrites to a certain degree, but this whole line of thinking is particularly egregious.

IF Trump perjured himself while answering Mueller's questions, does that change your opinion?
Just want to get everyone on the record.

I'd like a response to this please.
Thanks.

And there’s the quid pro quo. The whole time we thought Russia was trying to help them win an election, meanwhile it just Trump selling out the country for his own personal gain?

It’s not surprising when all these people read are right wing news sources. We even see evidence of this on our own boards. Speaking of which, I’d like to see what the CA board is looking like right now.
