Trump is an unindicted co-conspirator in criminal case involving his hush payments to women he slept with right after his 3rd wife gave birth to his 5th child. He, Ivanka, Don Jr, and Eric are under investigation for fraud and tax evasion.

So no, they are not like the Kennedys.
LOL. @nytimes just deleted this tweet after getting ratio'ed to hell.

By regulation, it was bound by [DOJ] policy ..Charging [Trump] with a crime was, therefore, not an option we could consider.”

"The opinion says the constitution requires a process other than the criminal justice system to formally accuse a sitting president of wrongdoing."

Mueller just issued an impeachment referral to Congress, in case his report was not clear.

2-"President Trump watched on television, increasingly angry as House Speaker Paul D. Ryan criticized his handling of the deadly white supremacist rally in Charlottesville. He held the remote control “like a pistol” and yelled for an assistant to get the Republican leader on the
3-"phone. “Paul, do you know why Democrats have been kicking your a-- for decades? Because they know a little word called ‘loyalty,’ ” Trump told Ryan, then a Wisconsin congressman. “Why do you think Nancy [Pelosi] has held on this long? Have you seen her? She’s a disaster.

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.
