Trump is facing a fast-moving impeachment inquiry due to his repeated efforts to pressure Ukraine's leaders to open an investigation into a debunked conspiracy theory that Democrats conspired with Ukrainians to interfere in the 2016 presidential election, as well as to probe unsubstantiated allegations that Democratic presidential candidate and former Vice President Joe Biden acted corruptly toward the Eastern European nation to benefit his son's business dealings.
As Cramer pointed out, Trump and his personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani have been very public about their efforts to use the power of the presidency to pressure Urkainian officials, as well as the Chinese, to investigate a political rival. Meanwhile, they have dismissed the impeachment inquiry as overtly"partisan" and a"witch hunt."
President Donald Trump offers a handshake to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a meeting in New York on September 25, on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assemblyabout the president's calls for foreign governments to investigate his political opponents. Under federal law, it is illegal for anyone to seek out, accept or receive anything of value from a foreign national in connection with a U.S. election.
Despite the growing criticism, and numerous opinion polls showing that a majority of Americans now support the impeachment inquiry, Trump has doubled down on his insistence that he did nothing wrong. While many Republicans have continued to back the president, or simply remained silent, others have been highly critical.
"No foreign government should ever be involved in a U.S. election in any way," Representative Adam Kinzinger, a Republican who represents Illinois' 16th District,
Breaking the law & committing treason out in the open doesn't make it less wrong.
Great.. Let's loot, set kittens on fire, and do drugs in the streets. I want to be praised too.
Amazing. This is like extolling the integrity of the robber for admitting he held up the bank.
Being transparent about breaking the law is still breaking the law. It's called telling on yourself.
This is what’s wrong with the Republican Party.
Seriously?
Speechless.....
'I AM THE GREAT SATAN MYSELF!!!' 'There is great integrity in admitting that you are absolute evil. Follow him and be wicked alongside him!'
Same language used for immigrants.. 'GTF outta here'
These guys are unbelievable, it's like they have all had some kind of brain damage and now they are really simple. They should not be in government.
I am truly surprised that any GOP Congressman even knows such words exists and obviously what they mean!
Just because you commit a crime in broad daylight doesn't make it less of a crime.
Yes, because being so stupid as to admit to a crime you swear isn't a crime is something to be admired 👀👀👀
Only after he was busted for it and it was illegal either way
So Kevin Kramer has a transparent cranium? It’s empty.
Put the damn kool-aid down😲snap out of it😡
WTF? How ignorant is that?
The GOP is getting weirder and weirder!
Kevin Kramer, LIAR of the day.
Law breaking is now a virtue to the GOP. Someone with great moral authority once said, “If you sow to the wind, you will reap the whirlwind.” These corrupt caricatures of Senators have abrogated their oaths of office. Those of us that were there remember we chose law over Nixon
To be fair, defending Trump is really really hard.
What is this guy, poorly educated?
Just because he did something illegal out in the open doesn’t mean he’s being transparent. That’s just stupid.
Anyone who continues to follow trump has blood on their hands. The massacre in El Paso, a massacre inspired by trump, children in cages, allies murdered, the lies, name calling, hate, self-serving criminal ways. He's a danger to the world's environment and the world's people.
Sychophants
🤣🤣🤣
That’s some seriously warped logic.
Advising all recipients to ignore subpoenas and don't show up for hearings or submit documents? That is transparency
Dude, he got caught. It's a crime. btw, why those transcripts moved to a secret computer? why is WH forbidding everyone to talk to Congress? SenKevinCramer Impeach
Jokers🙄
What a fool this guy is!
You know who else was open about committing a crime....
🤣💦🤣
This is what's the matter with Trump.
Because he thinks he is above the law.
Huh
Integrity? Really? I would say, integrity is in short supply in the current administration.
Only stupid. Doesn’t even rise to the ridiculous level.
You just admitted that Trump asked for foreign interference in our election 🤫
Tell the municipal/county judge 👩⚖️ 👨⚖️: “Your honor, but I was being ‘Transparent’ therefore, dismiss this Red Light Camera Ticket 🎫“ or “I snatched that purse 👜 👛 in a broad day light at the 5th Ave and E. 79th St. — and I was being “Transparent’; find me not guilty” cnn
Stunningly stupid.
That’s an interesting way to spin it.
And this ball licking by Republicans is why I am no longer a Republican. They have become the bottom.
Opaque is more like it. ImpeachTheMFTraitor
This was the tip of a huge Investigation stemming from the Mueller work
Great integrity when you break the law privately, lock down the transcript then refuse to release the whistleblower complaint.
What the hell has happened to the GOP? They are now praising trump for committing treason on national TV. He openly asked china and Ukraine to investigate a political opponent for his personal and political benefit. That's not how our democracy is supposed to work. MAGA RESIGN
Get real. We aren't going to fall for the crap that trump is transparent or that he has integrity. Lies, lies and more lies.
Sure.. it’s ‘great integrity’ when the corrupt are transparent about their corrupt behavior, (and their supporters dance and shout in praise at the wonder of it all). 🙄
What kind of idiot is Senator Cramer He praises the DRAFT DODGER for being transparent about committing a crime. Of course he may not be smart enough to know the law.
So overt crimes are okay! Are you kidding me?!
That’s the talking points they’ve been told - listened to two different Republican senators and both kept stressing that transparency was most important! Makes you shake your head! B
LOL yeah transparent treason.
Transparent? That’s why they are resisting providing documents and blocking people from testifying? I need a new dictionary. These guys have made the story of Pinocchio irrelevant now. Embarrassment, shame, self respect all alien to these people
The GOP Senator is a fraud
A guy walks onto 5th Avenue in broad daylight. He yells “I’m going to shoot someone”, and then does it. It’s transparent so there’s great integrity. Now everyone just go about your business.
He is standing on 5th Ave., shooting people. As long as he does it IN THE DAYLIGHT, IN FRONT OF EVERYONE, the ComplicitCorruptGOP is O.K. with it
Has drop award.
Trump was caught. He’s about as transparent as a cinder block.
Nobody really care because he just caused a humanitarian crisis in the Middle East.
So it's now okay to be corrupt if one discloses that they are being corrupt? Strange time in the era of the T-RUmp's Kleptocracy.
Somebody has a few skeletons in the closet.
