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

Posted on 05/18/2019 1:43:59 PM PDT by jazusamo

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."

The Dutch Reformed Church snobs just keep rotating in a new Jerry Ford clone to win an easy seat. Before him it was Vern Ehliers, and before that it was Ford.

The Grand Rapids Democrats just put up some no name activist from the hipster part of town that phones it in.

That is why this dope goes off like this. He is in a job for life.

Another day, another back-stabbing deep state never-Trumper.

So why do the clowns on OUR side continue even to TALK to people this vile - who are supposed to be on OUR side, not the RATS???

If I was in Congress, I’d turn my back to him whenever he got near to me.

Let's use The Simple Test:

Justin Hogwash is OK with Democrats being appointed as judges to the Federal courts.

If you're OK with a Democrat being appointed as a judge to the Federal courts, you're a Democrat.

Justin Hogwash is a Democrat.

Work against the Democrat Amash next election, mombonn - even if you need to vote for the other Democrat in the race.

Between Tlaib, Detroit, the ever growing muslim population in Dearborn and surrounding areas, and now this moron, I don’t think it’s hard to say that Michigan is done.

But, if Amash thinks that, then let him grow a pair, get with the 4 Horsewomen of the Apocalypse and submit the paperwork. We’ll see how it all works out for him.

Amazing how so many back-benchers have come to the conclusion of guilt, when a two-year investigation by a huge team of partisans with unlimited funds and power couldn’t find that conclusion.

Amash is a complete embarrassment and absolutely needs to be removed with severe prejudice. He is an ass of the worse kind.

Damn good point. Covered his tracks is likely what he thought. But remember the old adage. Keep your friends close but your enemies closer.

What “mess” is Trump in?

Trump hasn’t done a damn thing wrong, so what mess are you talking about?

His political enemies commit treason all around him but it’s his mess?

Wow.

Mueller can go out there anytime and dispute Barr. He hasn’t.

Ain’t that the truth! They spew this BS every minute of every day. But they never give us an example of what the heck they’re talking about.

Truth to them is tangible.
