GOP lawmaker: Trump has engaged in multiple actions that 'meet threshold for impeachment'
The Hill ^ | May 18, 2019 | John Bowden

A Michigan Republican and member of the House Freedom Caucus broke with his party Saturday in a rare series of tweetes accusing President Trump of "impeachable conduct."

Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) tweeted Saturday that the president's actions to potentially obstruct the now-shuttered special counsel investigation warranted impeachment by the House, and accused Attorney General William Barr of "deliberately misrepresenting" Robert Mueller's report of the investigation's findings.

"Here are my principal conclusions: 1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report. 2. President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct. 3. Partisanship has eroded our system of checks and balances. 4. Few members of Congress have read the report," Amash wrote Saturday afternoon.

"Mueller’s report reveals that President Trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment," the Michigan Republican continued. "Mueller’s report identifies multiple examples of conduct satisfying all the elements of obstruction of justice, and undoubtedly any person who is not the president of the United States would be indicted based on such evidence."

I wonder if this has anything to do with it...via Wiki:

He and his brothers are co-owners of their family business, Dynamic Source International which includes Amash Imports, Inc. (founded in 1956 and using the trade name of Amash Brothers Distributing and Michigan Industrial Tools) and others.[6][7] Their family businesses are heavily invested in China which include Trekton and other products.

Won’t matter. Doubt next time he could even get reelected in his own district.

Meanwhile, VERY interesting article here which has ramifications for polls:

We know what a RINO is, maybe now we have CINO’s also.

As I said, I believe this is a prelude to him bolting the GOP to run for President, so reelection to Congress won’t matter. He just needs to take a small amount of Republican voters with him to deliver the state to the Dems. You disagree with that, but it won’t take that much in Michigan.

As for the article, a lot of those guys were nutters to begin with.

A lot of Mid East Christians tend to be Left Wing/pan-Arabists on issues over there. This means they’ll side with their “fellow” Arabs and take positions that are opposed to US interests. Not all, or necessarily even the majority, but some. Off the top of my head, this is a list of a few (non-US citizen) anti-American Arab Christians,

He is a Palestinian and he is showing where his loyalty lies.
