Can't the judge find him in contempt for this? I can't think of a better reason for contempt than trying to influence the investigations by withholding funding.
Sure. But that just proves she’s political!
(In reality not doing so is political. Like how not knocking in his door with a full fbi tactical raid the moment the documents were discovered missing is inherently political.)
Waiting 2 years to prosecute this dipshit was political. They should have brought charges sooner. Instead, they drag their feet into election year, making it appear intentional.
Our government is so fucking incompetent. Dude admits to a crime openly and they still manage to fuck it up.
Merrick Garland 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Is a coward 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Seriously, they should indicted him right when he took his first step out of the White House door.
They should have indicted him right when he took his first step in to the White House door, for violating the Emoluments Clause. Fuckwad was a criminal from day 1, even ignoring the crimes committed before the election.

Shouldn't this result in more charges for obstruction and another RICO case if any Representatives go along with it?
Should?
yes.
Will it?
LOL no

What a pathetic creature. I hope he gets a jumpsuit as orange as his spray-on tan.
Then he'll look naked. Ew.
If there's one thing I want above all else taken away from him assuming he's convicted, it's luxury. Trump should be forced to live like he's in an army barracks, or, well, a prison!

All of these obstructionist assholes should be in prison.
Can donnie just flee the country already or something? So sick of this asshat.
I remember when he said he'd leave if he lost, still waiting I guess
He didn't lose, remember? He totally won.
I keep dreaming to see a world where a fascist dictator attempts to run for president of the United States while exiled and hiding somewhere like North Korea or Russia.

Yeah I don't want to go to jail for overthrowing the government so let me go and sabotage the government to avoid just that...
Meanwhile, if I steal a bread and try to run I'll get shot in the back.
Awesome difference
I'm reading this from a different stand point....
I think that he believes that there will be a shutdown anyways so that in his mind he can claim credit for the shutdown.
As in, I told them to shut it down and they did. Look how powerful I am.

Where's all the evidence against Hillary and all the evid the My Pillow guy has and all the evidence of yada yada yada? When are they dropping these bombshells?
They're going to do it tomorrow. Everyday they are going to do it tomorrow.
Tomorrow is so much closer than Trump's Healthcare plan. That's two weeks away.

He hates Qevin McCarthy. Imminent govt shutdown will be a lose-lose situation for Qevin: either face prolonged shutdown to appease the nut jobs or pass the budget with the help of Dems and get booted by FreeDumb cucks.
Trump is simply taking credit for of Kevin’s inevitable downfall and making it all about himself, as usual.
I smell desperation. It smells like spray tan and meat sweat. Get fucked lil Donny
That’s not a wrench; dear god, these headlines.
Donald Trump demanded they use the opportunity to “defund” Special Counsel Jack Smith and his team.
That’s not how any of this works, lol. This idiocy will be denied like all similar gambits he’s flailed into under the advice of incompetent counsel.
It’s two hours since they hit the iceberg, and they’ve commandeered all available lifeboats. Many are taking on water. Some of them are bailing frantically, some are taking the opportunity to stick their hands up the skirts of women trying to bail water or vomiting over the side, and some are boring more holes or denying they’re in a lifeboat to begin with.
Meanwhile, though they can all see the rescue ship right in front of them, trump is facing the opposite way, demanding they row away from help because he knows better. McCarthy dressed as a woman to board the first lifeboat, but he’s been discovered and is trying desperately to explain why he should be there.
I’ve tortured this metaphor enough, but the ship has sunk and we’re witnessing the cutthroat mess as survivors begin fighting each other for space on the door. It’s sad and frightening in equal measure.
e: I’d love to see this scene as a Garrison-style comic. Seems like a thing AI could do.

Nothing to see here. Nothing to hide. They certainly have all the evidence that Trump is innocent. They're sure to release it any day now. This only proves what he's been saying all along.
He needs to be in jail until the trial(s) and then prison.
I'm no political or legal expert but I don't think that is even possible without defunding all of the DOJ.
Yeah, shouldn't and disastrous to do, but had they the power cult45 would absolutely do it.
Generic Trump stuff.
THINKS he is throwing a wrench into the machinery.
He's sweating Mac sauce.
Were the negotiations ever in good faith to begin with?
Keep racking up those charges Donnie.
