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."

I don't think he's a Democrat.

It hasn't escaped the notice of anyone who is involved in national politics that over the last two years, Democrat Federal judges have been making laws and conducting executive branch functions as part of a highly partisan "Resistance".

Let's use The Simple Test:

Justin Hogwash is OK with Democrats being appointed as judges to the Federal courts, because he proposes giving cover to partisan US House Democrats to impeach President Trump, thus regaining the ability to appoint Federal judges for the Democrat Party.

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.

“4. Few members of Congress have read the report,”.

Hey genius, did you read the report? No? Then STFU and read it! Maybe then you’ll get a clue that Trump didn’t do anything wrong worthy of impeachment.

Amash is perfectly fine with handing the power to appoint Federal judges back over to the Democrats.

After watching Democrat Federal judges make laws and conduct executive branch functions for the last two years, Amash would have gotten his mind right about Democrat Federal judges if he was truly a Republican or a conservative or a Tea Party politician.

I must conclude he's a closeted Democrat.

Yeah right! Michigan voters have been doing a”great job” electing people to public office! Takes few minutes to tell us all about ColemanYoung and Jennifer Grandholm for starters.

We need more Bridgette Gabriels, Robert Spencers, and Joseph Farahs amongst the Arab-Christians and less fakes like Justin Amash and Spencer Abraham.

I don't think Democrats have anything to do with it.

Has it occurred to you that this guy probably wants Mike Pence to be the President of the United States? That thought just struck me when I read your (good) post.

It's possible - but it would show ANOTHER blind spot in Hogwash's understanding of DC power politics, in addition to his blindness about Democrat Federal judges usurping the powers of the Legislative and Executive branches for two years running.

I’m no politician, but if I was, I’d do the opposite of what this moron is doing - I’d hitch my wagon to a winner, President Trump.

His district went for Trump by 10 points. Largely white, Western MI.

I’m thinking he’s gotta have some sexual stuff, probably of the live boy variety, that he’s afraid is coming out.

Amash has just shown there's no doubt he's a Democrat.

And a dumbass and a fool.

Sorry, I guess I'm being repetitive.

But Joe Manchin would NEVER do it, because anything to further the Democrat agenda is first and it should be for us too. Honestly? I don’t care what he thinks he should keep it to himself. What does it get him? Trump will hate him, Trump is not going away. It’s a foolish comment.

Prelude to Amash leaving the GOP to serve as the Libertoonian Presidential nominee in an attempt to deliver the election to the Demonrats ?
