The media thought it had hit the jackpot on Friday. Here was a Republican Congressmen saying he supported an impeachment inquiry. Do you know what that means?
BI-PARTISANSHIP!! The Holy Grail of impeachment!
Rep. Mark Amodei of Nevada said on Friday, "I'm a big fan of oversight, so let's let the committees get to work and see where it goes," Amodei continued. "Using government agencies to, if it's proven, to put your finger on the scale of an election, I don't think that's right, If it turns out that it's something along those lines, then there's a problem."
That, of course, is the number one prerequisite for Democrats and the media who want Trump gone. They absolutely need the cover of a few Republican apostates to gain public support for impeachment.
Alas, it was a false alarm for the Dems. Amodei came forward on Saturday to disavow what he said on Friday.
He later issued a statement after the story was published saying, “In no way, shape, or form, did I indicate support for impeachment.”
Amodei stands by his call for an oversight process, which he and his office are trying to defend as different than the House’s impeachment inquiry.
Amodei spokesman Logan Tucker told The Washington Post the difference between an oversight process and supporting “Pelosi’s inquiry” is that “then you stand with the 223 Democrats who have made clear that if we were to vote right this second today to impeach Trump, they would vote yes before any sort of process has transpired."

the actual, for real “whistleblower” in this whole circumstance is the President and this retributive show trial being orchestrated in the House is about Federal retribution upon a whistleblower (President Trump) for having shone the light of day upon their treasonous, seditious conniving
Amodei should take himself out for 2020 but he won’t.
He may have gotten a knock on his door late at night from some people who are not happy with him.
Primary this cretin.
The third senator from Massachusetts masquerading as a senator from Utah ought to be reading the comments on his social media posts . . . I subscribe to the Mittwit's posts just to have fun reading the comments.
I thought that at first but I am watching the big picture and it looks like a large multi dimensional action is going on right now.
Only because most are lying to act like they are impartial.
POS attempting to cover his ass...
