GOP throws up impeachment shield around Trump
CNN ^ | May 20, 2019 | Stephen Collinson

Republicans are moving fast to squelch Justin Amash's rebellion against Donald Trump before his conclusion that the President "engaged in impeachable conduct" -- the first by a GOP lawmaker -- can gather momentum.

But Democrats who want a more hardline strategy against the President are seizing on the Michigan congressman's sudden intervention to pile pressure on their own leaders for tougher action.

Amash's act of conscience on Saturday sparked immediate speculation over whether a tiny leak in the Republican dam could grow into a torrent of support running away from the President.

CNN is so full of crap. The GOP is doing nothing to combat impeachmemt. They know that the left has no impeachable charges against President Trump and that any attempt would fail. That is why the democrats keep sounding like Maxine Waters. This is a fake news article.

“Republicans are moving fast to squelch Justin Amash’s rebellion against Donald Trump...”

I don’t condone violence of that sort, but if there’s nothing I can do to stop it, I’ll watch.

If I wanted to hear what CNN had to say, I’d watch CNN.

Why FReepers post and read fake news like this is beyond me. Is it like rubbernecking at the scene of a bad pile-up on the freeway? Can people not resist looking to see if there is some blood and gore?
