Byron York: House Democrats send message: Impeachment is on
By Byron York ~~ The chairman of the House Judiciary Committee says there is no doubt President Trump has obstructed justice.
"It's very clear that the president obstructed justice," Democratic Rep. Jerrold Nadler told ABC Sunday. "It's very clear — 1,100 times he referred to the Mueller investigation as a witch hunt, he tried to — he fired — he tried to protect Flynn from being investigated by the FBI. He fired Comey in order to stop the Russian thing, as he told NBC News. He — he's dangled part — he's threat — he's intimidated witnesses. In public."
Think what you will about the reasons — calling an investigation a "witch hunt" is obstruction of justice? — but Nadler sounded less like a man weighing the evidence than a man who has made up his mind. Given that, Nadler's ABC interview led to a question: President Nixon was threatened with impeachment for obstruction of justice. President Clinton was impeached for obstruction of justice. Why is Nadler, who heads the committee in the House that originates articles of impeachment, not moving forward with impeaching President Trump right now? "We don't have the facts yet," Nadler said — a perplexing admission for a man who had just confidently enumerated the president's crimes. "Impeachment is a long way down the road."
The timing decision is still up in the air, as is an overarching communications plan — selling impeachment to the American public, or more specifically those Americans who don't already support impeachment.... The sales campaign will most certainly be high minded. "It's our job to protect the rule of law," Nadler said Sunday, echoing the Republicans who impeached Bill Clinton in the 1990s. But whatever the stated rationale, impeachment is on.



~~~~~~
Ironically, Nadler himself has called for the firing of Comey, as reported by New York Daily News on 14 November, 2016. (See: Nadler: ‘The President Ought to Fire Comey Immediately’ :: Grabien - The Multimedia Marketplace)
Using the fact that Trump called the Mueller Fiasco a witch-hunt is obstructing justice? Please!
Trump’s crime was beating Hillary Clinton..to the left, the ONLY ones that deserve to be in power are Progressive Marxist Socialist Commies that's it, welcome to the NEW Communist Democrat Party.
I doubt that they have more than 2 votes in the Senate now, although that may be on the high side, since I haven’t heard the impeachment word out of a single Republican now.
Democrats know that Trump holds MANY CARDS. He’s not going to sit back and say “I am not a crook” and be done with it. He’s going to hit them HARD on the fake dossier and the FISA warrants (in other words, an illegal investigation), and he’ll have help from his Justice Department and from the Senate. I suspect that the ONLY THING the Democrats are doing is trying to damage Trump for 2020, since they know they can’t remove him...not even close.
I think that Pres. Trump will soon go on the offensive and begin prosecuting the bad actors in the passed election, namely Comey. McCabe. Strzok and Page. That is the reason William Barr was appointed Attorney General.
We should all begin seriously thinking 'Civil War II '. They are not going away. It’s hard to believe but the truth is the truth. Jerry Nadler is the ringleader and he will bring all 1/4 of a ton of his body weight into this fight. I wish it wasn’t so but here we go again.
Elections only work when all sides agree to abide by the results of fair and honest elections, which apparently the Democratic Party has been unwilling to do since the last election. In fact it began with the election of Bush 43 and has only become worse with the election of Donald J. Trump. I suspect 2020 elections results will not be accepted either and violence will follow.

They keep it up, the God Emperor is going to win all 57 states in 2020.

 

[S.J.]

So let's see, he tried to interfere with an investigation that found no evidence? Good luck with your impeachment, assholes.

 

[The Original Tree]

So they lied..... ALL of Them in the 2018 Election.

Good luck with an Impeachment when you launched 17 Investigations costing $100 Million Dollars and could not find a single

High Crime and Misdemeanor to Impeach The President with.

They keep it up, the God Emperor is going to win all 57 states in 2020.

Like how El Chapo could probably win an election back in his home state

 

[conserveguy877]

The desperation move because Trump is at 50% approval. Isn’t there more important matters rather than threat impeachment.

Wow, aren't you up on current events.
Here, let me help you:


Investigations by special counsel Robert Mueller:

• Russian government’s election attack (the Internet Research Agency and GRU indictments)
• WikiLeaks
• Middle Eastern influence: Potentially the biggest unseen aspect of Mueller’s investigation is his year-long pursuit of Middle Eastern influence targeting the Trump campaign.
• Paul Manafort’s activity
• Trump Tower Moscow project
• Other campaign and transition contacts with Russia
• Obstruction of justice

Investigations by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York:

• Campaign conspiracy and Trump Organization finances
• Inauguration funding
• Trump super PAC funding
• Foreign lobbying

Investigations by the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia:

• Maria Butina and the NRA

Investigations by the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia:

• Elena Alekseevna Khusyaynova, the alleged chief accountant of the Internet Research Agency who was indicted separately earlier this fall, charged with activity that went above and beyond the 2016 campaign. Why she was prosecuted separately remains a mystery.
• Turkish influence: Michael Flynn’s plea agreement includes some details of the case, and he is cooperating with investigators.

Investigations by New York City, New York State and other state attorneys general:

• Tax case: In the wake of an N.Y. Times investigation that found Trump had benefited from more than $400 million in tax schemes, city officials said they were investigating Trump’s tax payments, as did the New York State Tax Department.
• The Trump Foundation
• Emoluments lawsuit: The attorneys general for Maryland and D.C. sent out subpoenas earlier this month for Trump Organization and hotel financial records relating to their lawsuit that the president is in breach of the "Emoluments Clause" of the Constitution, which appears to prohibit the president from accepting payments from foreign powers while in office.

And there's a mystery investigation from an unknown office:

• Redacted Case #2: A second, redacted Flynn investigation could be one of the other investigations mentioned here. It could also represent another as-yet-unknown unfolding criminal case or could be a counterintelligence investigation that will never become public. """"

WHY do you guys believe in the right wing FAKE NEWS, set out to deceive you or frighten you???

Here is what Nadler actually said... and unless you believe the evidence he finds and presents to the Trump followers is sooooo overwhelming against the president, and will be believed by Trump followers, there is not going to be an impeachment.


Rep. Jerry Nadler, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, explains on CNN why impeachment "can't be partisan" and why it is too early to talk impeachment "intelligently."


NADLER: No, I don't really like that kind of language. But more to the point, I disagree with what she said. It is too early to talk about that intelligently. We have to follow the facts, we have to get the facts. That's why it is important to protect the Mueller investigation. That's why it's important to do our own inquiry. We have to get the facts. And we'll see where the facts lead. And maybe that will lead to impeachment. Maybe it won't. But it's much too early, and we don’t have all the facts now. And we must have the facts in order to say that impeachment, which is a defense, it's not an assault on the president. Impeachment is an defense of the America republic, of the separation of powers, of liberty, et cetera. Whether that is necessary can only be determined when you have all the facts, and we don't have them yet.

BERMAN: You don't have them yet. You're waiting for the Mueller investigation. NADLER: And for our own investigations, too.

BERMAN: I'm also heard you say that you would like to see some sign of Republicans feeling there should be impeachment before you would go out on a limb. Is that true?

NADLER: What I've said is that impeachment can't be partisan, and that you shouldn't do an impeachment unless you believe that you have such evidence, such great evidence of such terrible deeds that when that evidence is laid out to the American people you will probably get an appreciable fraction of the voters who supported the president to agree that you had to do it so that you don't have a situation where for the next 30 years half of the country is saying to the other half, we won the election. You stole it. You have to believe that you have such facts and such evidence of such facts that you can show that enough people will be persuaded so that you don't divide the country.

BERMAN: And today, I know it's not over, but today, do you have those facts or that evidence?

NADLER: No, we do not have that yet. And that's why I said, we're far from finishing the inquiry. We have to see what the Mueller report says. That has to come to the Judiciary Committee so that we can relay to the American people and we can look into it and we have to do our own investigations. There is a lot of smoke. How much fire there remains to be determined.

In the sense of legal trouble, yes, in the sense of public opinion he has more to lose from the House investigations.
