Tom Steyer targets key House Republicans on impeachment
MSN News ^ | 3/5/2019 | Laura Barrón-López

Liberal billionaire Tom Steyer is setting his sights on two of President Donald Trump’s fiercest defenders in Congress: Republican Reps. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Mark Meadows of North Carolina.

Steyer’s Need to Impeach PAC is launching a week-long TV ad campaign in districts currently held by the two GOP members of the House oversight committee — one week after Michael Cohen, Trump’s former lawyer and fixer, presented evidence to the committee of alleged criminal conduct committed by the president.

The ads are the first from Need to Impeach aimed at specific Republican members on the issue and will cost the group a modest $75,000 in the two districts. Steyer has thus far focused his impeachment pressure campaign primarily on key Democrats, holding town halls in the home districts of the chairmen of the House Ways and Means, Oversight and Judiciary committees, urging them to begin impeachment proceedings.

The new ads are the latest turn in Steyer’s effort to impeach Trump, which began in 2017. Need to Impeach decided to target Jordan and Meadows after their comments at the Cohen hearing.

Steyer needs the application of a little sunlight on his own life & dealings.
Why exactly does he think he should be entitled to destroy people with threat & innuendo to get his way? Most attacks on POTUS damage the attacker, hopefully the same will hold for Steyer.

Why doesn’t he take his money and spend it on helping the illiterate or drug or alcohol addicted? Instead of these petty political wars aimed at creating that sort of society that is going to in turn create an underground one where most people will prefer to live in.

This is about this one important fact..the Communist Party KNOWS they cannot legitimately win in 2020, they know they cant win, so instead they will do everything in their power to get rid of President Trump, get rid of the electoral college and only allow blue states to vote, that way only Democrats win elections..if they really thought they would win legit in 2020, they would wait and have an honest election, but they cant because they know they cant win

Not that I heard. The Liar Jr. seemed to do much more to exonerate Trump. There were some things that are not illegal he did mention, but there was no evidence presented in any case. Just the words of a convicted perjurer.

I was going to ask if “testimony” is the same as “evidence.” I guess it is technically, but without anything to back out up, doesn’t testimony just amount to “allegation?”

Steyer is just another (fake) lefty elitist trying to protect his gravy train. He is training his sights on two conservatives to prove to the crazies on the left what a fine and virtuous guy he is as witnessed by his generosity toward their cause(s), but really dispensing peanuts to them while he piles billions into his own accounts.

One of the oldest games in the world.

If the real lefties ever do take real power, he will not escape their hatred of the wealthy.

Where are the very rich conservatives? Anybody ever see them destroy the commies? Hell No! The game is all set to destroy we, the people & they are doing a good job of it.

I read somewhere that the Cohens signed falsified papers for a $20 mil. loan and Mueller threatened to put his wife in jail for 30 years if he did not “comply.” I can’t vouch for the truth of it, but is was implicated that this was why Cohen turned against Trump. I don’t find that hard to believe, the Swamp being what it is.

Just as with the French Revolution and the Reign of Terror; the Committee of Public Safety eventually ended up guillotining their own members.

He presented no such evidence and was nothing more than a gas bag...

"Before you impeach somebody, you have to persuade the American public that it ought to happen. You have to persuade enough of the — of the opposition party voters, Trump voters, that you're not just trying to ... that you're not just trying to steal the last — to reverse the results of the last election." . . . Jerry Nadler (U.S. representative New York 10th congressional district)

Tom Steyer, (NextGen America, in 2017 Steyer spent $10 million in television ad campaign advocating the impeachment of President Donald Trump)

Pierre Omidyar, Omidyar's Foundation Commits $100 Million To Support Investigative Journalism

And of course Soros is in the mix . . . with "grassroot" organizing groups

Easy to see a three prong attack

1. Pay for the investigative journalists (Omidyar)
2. Pay for the distribution of the information (media purchases)(Steyer)
3. Pay for the boots on the ground and social media (Soros)

And we all wake up one day saying to ourselves " What happened?"

All he has to do is flash a picture of his old lady and they’ll fold like a cheap suit.

Jordan and Meadows won’t cave. Moreover Steyer may find he has over played his hand. Americans generally are not fans of impeachment
