It’s not every day when a former White House chief of staff implicates a former president — under penalty of perjury — in an impeachable offense.

Over the weekend, the allegations returned to the fore, and for good reason. The New York Times reported on Saturday:

John F. Kelly, who served as former President Donald J. Trump’s second White House chief of staff, said in a sworn statement that Mr. Trump had discussed having the Internal Revenue Service and other federal agencies investigate two F.B.I. officials involved in the investigation into his campaign’s ties to Russia. Mr. Kelly said that his recollection of Mr. Trump’s comments to him was based on notes that he had taken at the time in 2018. Mr. Kelly provided copies of his notes to lawyers for one of the F.B.I. officials, who made the sworn statement public in a court filing.

    Oh fuck off

    The persecution complex that both parties have inculcated is fucking ridiculous. I say, “fuck the GOP” I say reps are more corrupt than dems and you’re out here with the, “you only complain about democratic corruption bc you hate democrats.”

    People like you on both sides of the aisle are why the rich are looting this country. Wake the fuck up you simple bitch.

    Straight up just calling me a Republican. The idea that people can just be principled and against partisan hackery and corruption is just to alien for your pea brain to fathom, huh?
