Wonder who the source was, and if they've got the leverage to tell everyone else on the Hill this needs to stop NOW.

At this point, our Congress is going to be so okay with what Trump does, that Trump could probably give the nuke codes to the Russians and they'd be okay with it.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Fake news but Russia is our friend anyway so it doesn't matter if he told them something which he definitely didn't do.

Already labeled as such on TD.
It's smart because it's word of mouth, Trump doesn't use insecure computers.

Very true. It's the most egregious of double standards. But he's so incompetent that I expect this type of recklessness. He shouldn't have ever been President.
Republican controlled Legislative Branch:
And the U.S. Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, has said he had no idea why Kislyak was at the meeting:

You can do that with Pence, or Paul Ryan, or Orrin Hatch....whomever the first clean person in line is that we come to. They are more than capable of pushing the GOP agenda through.
It makes no sense.

He dun goofed. Consequences will never be the same!
slightly so, but Pence also tried to mean-mug across the Korean DMZ as intimidation.

Did he break the law?
-Because, that's what this all really comes down to so far as kicking him out of office.

Imagine how shitty it must feel to be the guy responsible for giving Trump his daily briefings right now.
You want to feel a sense of accomplishment when you realize you were able to break the situation down so clearly even the short-attention-span idiot child in the Oval Office was able to digest and understand it, but it's overridden by the slow horror that while you were able to impress knowledge on him, nothing is capable of teaching him restraint or respect and he's just gonna fucking say whoever to whatever.

Not gonna lie, if I saw Pence looking through a fence at me I would be scared.
More likely said ally just stops sharing if this compromises their ops.

We're gonna backtrace it!
There would literally be an armed insurrection. Hell, we wouldn't have survived last week. Imagine Obama got tired of the email news and fired Comey, then floated replacing him with Nancy Pelosi.

I think at this point, they aren't going to care if he does anything illegal.
They'll care when he starts getting in the way of their plans to screw over the rest of us.

Trump is doing a great job exposing all the Presidential exploits for a far more competent candidate in the years to come.
This fuckery isn't gonna end with him.

Spicer is just going to stand there with a blank look on his face and say nothing
How many actual Republicans in power still have genuine concerns about the security and welfare of the the country and its citizens, and how many are in it simply to strip mine what they can while they have the ability to do so, then flee to another country should the nation collapse?

Beat EviLore at pool.
They gotta wait till they verify it and then it will be everywhere.
Conservatives will find a way to rationalize it. I'm not sure it's possible for them to get off this train. They were already warming up to Russia on election day. By the end of Trump's first term they'll just think Russia was always one of our closest allies so of course we'd share intel etc why wouldn't we?

Not actually true. You can be removed from office for any number of things called "high crimes," many of which are not actually crimes at all.
The term "high crimes" was a known term of art in the 18th century that meant something along the lines of dereliction of responsibility or betraying the public trust.
It doesn't mean high crime = serious crime. It means anything unbecoming of a president, most of which aren't necessarily crimes even though they could be crimes. Examples in English jurisprudence - misappropriating government funds, appointing unfit subordinates, not prosecuting cases, not spending money allocated by Parliament, promoting themselves ahead of more deserving candidates, threatening a grand jury, disobeying an order from Parliament, arresting a man to keep him from running for Parliament, bribery (although bribery is spelled out in the Constitution).

I'm still convinced this man had no intention of being president and is just trying to get himself impeached and Republicans just don't give a shit.
Resigning makes him look weak and a quitter, getting impeached he can push a "weak government couldn't stand me" speech at his weekly rallies where all his Trumplets eat up all the shit he feeds them

No actually the GOP response will be WELL Hillary did far worse with her emails and Huma forwarded her classified emails to ISIS why the media not call out her???The Republican response.

This is 100% incorrect.
I think it's the overall administration's incompetence worth regards to events like this that is causing them to consider limiting our canceling press briefs.
If they only do one a week or two there is only so many questions (or attention span) the media can hold them to the fire.
Somebody should tweet at him "I bet they haven't even told you ANYTHING about the upcoming aliens at the secret base" and see where it goes from there.
Edit: Beaten, this thread is moving FAST.

Not quite. Congress can impeach on the grounds of pretty much anything.

The GOP will continue to do nothing.
Oh wait, maybe they'll ask who leaked this info at the next hearing.
