    LOL guy is a Snowflake/Rhino/Communist/Terrorist take your pick. Probably was tricked into this interview, thought it was off the record. Has anyone checked whether or not the Clintons threatened to kill him if he didn't say this?

    Trump continues to make a mockery of the presidency while protecting himself from criminal prosecution...

    Trump personally interviewed US attorney candidates in New York: report

    Im not really understanding how these prosecutors will all the sudden be able to supersede the special counsel and the grand jury that is already picked by Mueller. However it’s still no shock that he’s brazenly so open about fixing the rule of law to get away with murder when and where he can.

    Virtually everyone said Trump would test the limits of the presidential power and they were right. If you think you’ve seen corruption now, just wait if the Dems don’t win back the House next year. This should be a warning to us all but unfortunately most the country just cares about black NFL players kneeling, and how someone died on This Is Us.

    You guys know that positions of US Attorney throughout the country are appointed by the President of the United States and serve at his pleasure, right? Well, apparently not.

    And your continued obsession with Donald Trump's supposed collusion with Russia, when no evidence has been produced supporting that partisan conjecture even after nearly a solid year of multiple investigations and the entire leftist media on the hunt for ANYTHING they could use to substantiate that, and now the evidence shows that there apparently were payoffs and collusion between Hillary Clinton while Secretary of State (and therefore the Obama administration) and the Russians relating to the Uranium One scandal, demonstrate just how detached from reality many of you have become.

    Don't think that's the concern. The issue here is yet again, a clear conflict of interest. Trump has business in NY so personally interviewing NY US attorney is a clear example of conflict.

    Conflict of interest and corruption is something that all sides used to agree is a bad bad idea. Not anymore.

    You do understand that nobody would have had a problem with Trump interviewing the AG had he actually given up his business interest right?

    Obviously the appearance of conflict of interest doesn't mean anything to you. And has Mueller released the results of the investigation yet? No? Then how do you know what evidence was found? Of course, we do know that Trump Junior and other members of the Trump campaign met numerous times with Russian officials and intelligence people. And lied numerous times about those meetings. Last, numerous fact checking organizations have already debunked that.

    Listen, I get it it, your hyperpartisan support of Trump and everything he says and does guides how you post here. But rather than a "rush to judgement" we are simply watching what happens.

    I'm so dumb that conflicts of interest for those in power are troublesome to me. Most of the time, I'm still able to breathe. Does that answer your question about how some posters here 'ap'?

    Jeez... seventeen states have to file suit against Trump's education secretary and department. Shameful times... 2020 can't come soon enough.

    I bet this will shock you... her husband (Joe Craft) owns Alliance Resource Partners, L.P., the third-largest coal producer in the eastern United States, and they donated $2 million to Trump's campaign.

    Gee, I wonder why Trump disbanded the office responsible for sanctions? Like the sanctions Trump was supposed to enforce against Russia?

    Apparently, her biggest qualification is she is a member of two Trump golf clibs: Mar-a-Lago and West Palm Beach. But hey, she speaks "basic Spanish"...

    Regrettably, a lot of these ambassadorships have been handed out as political candy long before Trump. It is essentially official corruption.
