Louie Gohmert: ‘This Came Very Close to Being the First Successful Coup’ in U.S. History
Breitbart ^ | 12 May 2019 | ROBERT KRAYCHIK

Posted on 05/13/2019 1:21:12 PM PDT by detective

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) warned that America “came very close” to suffering its “first successful coup,” describing Robert Mueller’s operation — marketed as an “investigation” by authorities — as an attempt to usurp a duly elected president. He offered his remarks in a Friday interview on SiriusXM’s Breitbart News Daily with host Alex Marlow.

Gohmert said, “It’s time for Republicans to say, ‘Enough already. You have put this country through hell. You have let these ridiculous allegations that we now see are totally bogus get you the majority in the House.’ But if the American people will wake up, and I hope that they will, I think that they are, it seems like things are indicating that, then it’s time for anybody with an R or D beside their names that’s going to preserve the Constitution — make no mistake, we are in a constitutional crisis — to stand up and say, ‘Enough already.'”

Don't use the past tense yet Rep Gohmert.

They are still trying to impeach President Trump and they are not even close to being finished.

Sad to see there are so few vocal prominent republicans supporting POTUS. Where are Rubio, Cruz, the Turtle and the like?

No. The critical phase is over. They can impeach him but they can’t remove him. They can still procure one of the more traditional methods to remove a Ruler or Head of State but they might well lose the blowback from that and it is probably too dangerous to themselves to try it. And the level of Security around this president is probably higher than with any previous president.

Actually the second. The first one was in 1963. And was successful.

That’s right.

Lincoln, McKinley, Kennedy, Reagan (unsuccessful) . . .

There’s a movie called ‘Executive Action’ that was made quite a while ago that is chilling to watch. Essentially, the movie shows the Kennedy assassination as a CIA op.

They are finished and the counter offensive has begun which will dump so much on them it will make your head spin. Just watch how officials are starting to walk away from the Democrats because they don’t want to get implicated. Facing the combined patriot military/LE force is a scary proposition.

Don’t say enough already. Prosecute and imprison the culprits.

And it is still working. Trump, Barr, and the useless Republicans are still reeling backwards. Where the hell are he indictments? Waiting, waiting, waiting, in the meantime talk talk talk. WTF

Indeed, and if no one pays for this, they will try again. My question is what is the answer for what to do with the 3 agencies that took part in this. I have heard all are too powerful for anyone, even with political capital, to take apart.

So what is the best strategy to deal with them?

Hi.

And the President’s approval ratings continue to rise. The trend is there no matter the poll.

Amazing, given the negative coverage by the MSM.

Rubio, McConnell and maybeeeee, perhaps Cruz, are still the GOPe, that’s why!

Why else were the Swamp rooting for JEBe and or Rubio in 2016!

They were/are the officially One World Order/New and improved UN allowed GOP(e) candidates!

That’s why the official RNC mouthpieces are trolling for an “attractive” candidate to run an end run around Pres. Trump to the so-called third party to pull enough never-Trumper voters away to allow whomever the Socialist DNC candidate will be to win in 2020!

That same tactic is run here in KS most election years, at least the ones for Governor!

The Liberal/Eisenhower wing of the KS GOP would much rather have a dim than any conservative as we (conservatives) are “dangerous!”

Well said and worth driving home. Rep Gohmert may be a good man and patriotic American but one wonders if he appreciates your point.

Does he realize real Americans are not going to support a snowflake Rino political party, a party that barely, if even then, acts in opposition or supports America's choice of presidents?

As Gohmert acknowledges, the dems stole their way into a House majority and also corrupted some of our most sensitive branches of government all with the intent of reversing a fair election and seizing power.

Can he possibly not realize Americans want those actors to go to jail for that theft and that corruption? Just because they seemingly got away with it doesn't mean it is politics as usual.

The question is, "What serious effort is he making in this regard?"
