Trump Supporters' Response to Impeachment? Make It Rain Money on Trump.
Vice ^ | 11/11/19 | Liz Landers

Posted on 10/11/2019 4:52:34 PM PDT by Libloather

President Trump on Thursday held his first rally since Speaker Nancy Pelosi announced that the House would launch an impeachment inquiry. The scene outside was raucous, and included a Trump supporter getting spit on during an interview with VICE News.

The scene inside was just as strange, as Trump went off script for pretty much the whole speech. All hour and forty minutes of it.

Though he might have sounded more than a little concerned about the prospect of impeachment, there is one way that the impeachment inquiry is not hurting him right now: fundraising. Campaign manager Brad Parscale told the Associated Press that in the 24 hours after the impeachment inquiry was announced, the campaign and the RNC raised $5 million online.

VICE News talked to a number of the president’s supporters outside the Target Center in downtown Minneapolis. Many of them were consistent donors to his re-election, and said that the impeachment inquiry has only motivated them to give more.

But President Trump is banking on this to motivate his base, telling his supporters, “The Democrats’ attempt to overthrow the government will create backlash at the ballot box the likes of we have never seen before in the history of this country.”

RATS try to stop the Trump train.

If Trump is impeached, maybe it should be for sending more troops to Saudi. “America First, unless they can pay!!”

I don't see a whole lot of leaks about Marie Yovanovitch's testimony today.

My guess is that it didn't go that well for the democrats.

Main points from her so far:

Oh and this.

Trump wanted her removed after she insisted that Giulani's corruption investigation go through official channels,

I can certainly see why Trump wouldn't want Giulani's defense work going through official channels, given the way the official channels have been used against him.

What I don't understand is why she was so insistent that the President's personal defense lawyer needed to go through official channels.

As a Tea Party supporter you surely know that troops in Saudi are about Iran.

he's hollowed out the State Department career officials.

Less leakers to the MSM and Congressional Democrats--oh the horror! ;-)

Between the long standing claims that the state department was full of communists, and Obama gaying the state department, I would have supported Trump cleaning house completely and starting completely over.

Simply because if he does it through the “official channels” all of his work is open to FOIA and could be leaked. He would lose attorney client privilege and attorney work product privilege. Rudy has been clear that his efforts ceased prior to the release of the Mueller report so that anything that he was doing could credibly be attorney client defense investigation, not subject to discovery.

Rudy is no dummy. He knows the law and knows what the Dems would attempt to do to pierce the attorney client veil, (as they did with Cohen).

What impeachment?

The little farce Pelosi is currently dancing around with?

With at least one glaring exception.

For reasons unknown, Trump has never fired the State Department Inspector General, who was appointed by Obama.

As long as the Obama-Clinton IG is at State, there will never be a legal reckoning for Hillary Clinton.

Probably true.
I think you need to build an excellent case before firing one of the IG’s, because that will draw Congressional review.

Seems like the stuff Judicial Watch has found should be sufficient.

No.

It's exactly like firing Obama’s Secretary of State or firing all of Obama’s U.S. Attorneys.

Trump spent the whole campaign calling Hillary crooked.

But he won't fire the IG who helped Hillary conceal the evidence?

Incomprehensible negligence by Trump.

So? What about the 1400 year war the Sunni’s and Shia’s have been engaged in? Tea Partiers support getting in the middle of this shit?

If you’re so concerened about Saudi soil, pack up your guns and go defend them, leave America out of this.

It’s not Saudi, it’s Israel, is our troops in the Middle East that haven’t been pulled out yet. Think beyond your narrow view and try to see the big picture.

Yeah, I’ve been following US involvement in the Middle East closely since Bush I and the first Gulf War.

Either A) Build a wall around the entire Middle East and fill it with water or B) leave them to their own devices.

Isn’t it interesting that two people can look at the same Sky and still disagree on the Color?

That would be great but I’m still carrying a grudge against Iran and their hizbullah puppets.

If a Trump supporter had spit on a Biden supporter it would have been on a 24/7 loop... every American would have seen it on CNN and MSNBC every hour for a month...
