This much is certain. The days of peaceful transition are over, if they ever, actually, existed. After what the Rats have done for the last year more and worse will be done in the future. Unless the criminals behind all this are prosecuted.
Articles like this are not helpful.
They should address the idea of impeachment for what it is, absolutely idiotic.
Trump hasnt done one thing to warrant it. End of story.
Time to attack mercilessly any who even suggests it.
Good sober analysis of what can happen this year.
Probably will be an “obstruction of justice” charge against Trump, Mule-er is that full of hate. But firing Comey was justified (more info will come out to support that), so the charge is a mere formality. And like the article says, it could even boost Trump, like the way impeachment in 98 helped Clinton.
Dems got nothing, and are going nowhere but backwards.
dems will keep introducing motions to impeach. If only to give the media the chance to say “impeach” and “Trump” in the same sentence, to give the folks the idea that it will happen.
Kaslin, quit posting this kind of crap. Thanks.
Impeachment is purely a political process. High crimes and misdemeanors in the political realm could be as simple as the House impeaching Trump for the smell of his farts.
Trumps risk for impeachment awaits this coming November. If the Republicans hold or strengthen majorities, there is virtually no chance he will be impeached regardless of what Mueller finds. If the Rats get the majority, there will be articles of impeachment the first day of the new congress.
Mueller has no doubt found some process crimes and possibly some minor offenses committed by Trump Campaign Team, but the idea Trump obstructed justice by firing Comey doesn’t pass constitutional muster. Even if he were to try, Mueller does not have the constitutional authority to indict the chief executive.
Between now and the 2018 election, the amount of dirt that oozes out about the previous administration and their attempt to steal the election for H*****y will destroy any chance that the Rat party might have to gain the majority in either house. And if any of those criminals are actually brought to justice, that will just be icing on the cake.
The average voter will, at that point, compare the obvious corruption of the Rat party with some nebulous charge of “obstruction” against Trump, and they will reject any attempt at impeachment.
Even hard-core never-Trumpers are slowly but surely coming to understand the reality that the Trump administration is the best thing to happen to this country in many, many years.
That quaint notion has been out the window for a few generations.
The government runs on brute force of numbers. If the DEMs get a majrity, the paperwork will assert that Trump obstructed justice. The constitution has nothing to do with it.
Trump has got to not make any immigration deal...keep that as a 2018 “issue”, plus make impeachment an issue too....his voters will come out in droves. I still say Republicans will keep the House...they add to their Senate margin too. The economy is just red hott.
He would shut that $#*! down.
Equally possible, though, in my opinion, is that Mueller will proceed with a recommendation that the president be charged and/or impeached based on allegations of obstruction of justice
Impeachment is a political process not a legal one.
Are the Democrats so out of touch with Americans they really believe they can “create” crimes and remove President Trump from office via impeachment without there being a backlash.
The American people for the past 50 years have been abused by the Democrats and the election of President Trump was their response to that abuse.
The past year has shown that the left do not respect elections. If successful in overturning the will of the people there will be a price to pay.
We are entering dangerous times. The left have got away with lot but I am not sure if the American people will passively go along with a coup d’tat.

While despise the cold civil war, it may serve our nation far better than a “hot” civil war. I question this to a point though, those who are oblivious will remain oblivious in a cold civil war.
Make no mistake: Obama meant what he said when he promised to fundamentally change America. He set the groundwork for lawlessness and rule by political whim, and Hillary was supposed to deal the death blow to the Constitution and deliver us into dictatorship as bad as any we've seen from Mao, Castro, Stalin, Hitler. The non-stop blathering from the Democrats about Russia, collusion, impeachment, etc., are their howls of frustration at being denied their dream of what they consider a perfect society: one in which the little people are animals to be cared for, subsisting on crumbs while the caring elites enjoy lives of ultimate luxury.
Good article. Surprised more commentators didn’t read it to the end. Well, maybe I’m not surprised.
1861 - Not trying to impeach Lincoln but leaving to set up a regional new government.
Today trying to remove Trump to take over full control of the national government.
Agree. As the cajun lizard said: “It’s the economy stupid.”
The only way we would potentially lose the House is by giving some kind of amnesty.
I would be OK with citizenship for DACA if it was deferred for 10 years and the recipient had no criminal record and were not receiving any government benefits.
One of the many reasons Gowdy is out of there, it is a pit of vipers and is affecting him.
Or he knows his skills as a prosecutor are needed elsewhere...
