David Brock Memo Lays Out Plan to Defeat Trump Through Impeachment
PJ Media ^ | January 23, 2017 | Debra Heine

Progressives mapped out ways to combat newly sworn-in President Trump at a liberal confab at the swanky Turnberry Isle resort in Aventura, Fla., over the weekend.

The confab, organized by Media Matters founder David Brock, attracted more than 100 well-heeled progressive donors who came to plot and scheme ways to neutralize Trump, The Washington Free Beacon reports. The tireless Clinton defender is reportedly aiming to build a liberal donor network for the left that rivals that of the Koch brothers.

A confidential memo from Brock, obtained by The Free Beacon, outlined plans to use his numerous organizations to defeat President Donald Trump through "impeachment" or at the ballot box in 2020.

“No other progressive organization has the resources and assets that American Bridge has amassed over the past several election cycles to hold Trump, his administration, and the politicians accountable,” the 44-page confidential memo states.

“Only Bridge stands ready with staff already hired, Trump’s web of business ties mapped out, and a massive video archive at our fingertips.”

“The right will bolster Trump aggressively and deceptively. The campaign to stop him must be nonstop. At American Bridge, it has already begun.”

Brock’s group claims to have more than 20,000 hours of video, 289 candidate research books, and the largest available archive of Trump research in the Democratic Party. Within weeks of the election, Bridge launched a “Trump War Room,” which has already scrutinized Trump’s transition team and will continue to watch the personnel, policies, and practices of the administration.

The “state-of-the-art Trump War Room” will strive to “uncover details of Trump’s affection for Russia and Putin.” They are tracking Trump’s foreign and domestic business partners, construction projects in foreign countries, and negotiations on potential future projects that he “could use to put personal profit ahead of our national security.”

“With so many opportunities for foreign governments and corporations to gain influence over Trump, American Bridge will use every means at its disposal to hold Trump and his administration accountable—including FOIA requests, lawsuits, and regulatory complaints. As the progressive movement’s political research clearinghouse, we will arm our allies to join us in taking on the administration through paid advertising, earned media, grassroots efforts, and legal recourse.”

Brock seems to be operating under the assumption that Trump will be just as dishonest and corrupt as his political idol, Hillary Clinton -- a case of liberal projection if ever there was one. Of course, the danger with ethically challenged people like David Brock is that they have no scruples whatsoever and will lie, cheat, and steal as much as they can get away with. Brock isn't called a "psycho dirty-tricks hitman" for nothing. Even among Clinton's campaign team he was described as "bat-sh*t crazy" and "kind of a nut bar" in emails released by WikiLeaks.

So it should come as no surprise that some on the left are not impressed with Brock’s fundraising efforts.

“Anybody who gives money to him is pissing down a rathole,” said John Morgan, a big Clinton donor who is considering a run for governor in the state of Florida.

Question - according to this page, the standard for impeachment is pretty steep - and if some are going to be honest - Obama shifted that bar even higher by both committing and ordering pretty vast violations of the law as well as directly impeding law...

So - exactly what high crimes and misdemeanors has Trump committed as POTUS?

David Brock and his “100 well-heeled progressive donors” need to be thoroughly investigated and politically neutered,
if not indicted.

Brock was a conservative crusader, back in the day. Friend and ally to Matt Drudge in the early days. The Milo of the 90’s.

Brock wrote exposé after exposé. He wrote “The Real Anita Hill”.

He got what is called FU money to write the Hillary bio.

He said FU and turned. Never went back.

Congress has to begin the process by submitting formal charges to the Senate. Good luck with that.

Another Ed Schultz, Erick Erickson, Arianna Huffington or Glenn Beck?

The left have collectively shat out their brains. We’re watching insanity on a scale we’ve only hitherto joked about.

I seriously believe that the next stop for the left is straight up jihad style terrorism. They’ve got nowhere else to go, but Sanity, and we know they ain’t goin’ there for love or money.

Being hated by irrational brats is not actually a “high crime or misdemeanor”.

If ever there was a place that needed an incident of “workplace violence” it is Media Matters.

I’m just saying. . .

It wasn’t Brock’s friends buying those millions of guns and billions of rounds of ammo the last ten years.

Trump should go after the evidence that Obama was born abroad and his birth certificate is fake - then drop the bomb on them.

Have his whole Presidency voided and him thrown in prison.

They want to play rough? Obama’s birth certificate is a well known fraud and he should have never been sworn in.

None of this will amount to anything. Brock is headed for a rubber room one day, and Trump won’t even notice him.
