Rep. Ted Lieu: If Trump fired Rosenstein and Mueller, "I believe Congress would begin impeachment proceedings." https://t.co/lqJ0JTg1l6 — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) June 17, 2017

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) said Friday that Congress would come together and “begin impeachment proceedings” against President Trump if he fired special counsel Robert Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

“All Americans, regardless of party, agree on the fundamental principle that no one is above the law,” Lieu said on MSNBC. “And if President Trump were to fire Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein, and then [get] special counsel Mueller fired, I believe Congress would begin impeachment proceedings.”

I think that was the objective of the attempted assassination of Republican House members. Take out enough of them, and suddenly the House becomes Dem controlled, and can vote to impeach.

“All Americans, regardless of party, agree on the fundamental principle that no one is above the law,”

James Comey disagrees with that statement. He laid out all the violations of the law that Hillary Clinton committed, then let her walk away.

Hypocrisy reigns.

Mr. Trump should charge headlong into the fray. He should demand impeachment and a trial in the Senate. Those fools would look like idiots. He would win. They need to put up or shut up. Throw down on the bastards.

Male bovine solid eliminatory residue. The Clintons have been above the law for over a generation. Trump has done nothing other than become the President by legal means.

Bullshit! Where was your impeachment of the thoroughly impeachable Barack Hussein 0bama? Where is your investigation and prosecution of 0bama and Hillary Clinton?

Ted Lieu is a lying sack of fecal matter.

Where are the damned republicans!? It’s time for citizens to do something... since the “intelligent educated elite” are so corrupt there is no one left to do the right thing.

How many of you ordinary folks know someone that can get you on a TV program or radio? How many of you can write a piece for the newspaper? How many of you do twitter regularly? How many can post on FaceBook?

When Trump was campaigning, I had my records ready to post on FB when the younger people who were only quoting what they hear.. I answered them with recorded records of who hillary was/is. They’d usually stop at that point, and I figured others read what I posted. We have to do something to send a message to the dems that they are blowing smoke .. that we won’t stand for them to do what they think they can do... and we’ve already let them go this far, thinking they will quit when they can’t find anything. Trouble with that... they are ALL corrupt. God help this nation to ever overcome this much downright devil’s work in the raw. The enemy is having a hey day out there and no one is stopping them.

I guess if it were me, after that announcement, I’d fire them all immediately! I would not go down without a fight!

Impeachment is the indictment and the trial is in the Senate. Call their bluff because they got nothing.

“No one is above the law”…except Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Loretta Lynch, Eric Holder, Lois Lerner, James Comey,all the illegal aliens in this country...


So true. Aided by a compliant MSM they skate while someone who is focused on restoring pride and accountability in the country is persecuted.

The President should file conflict of interest complaints against both of them. Force them to resign or be disbarred.

“...Saturday Night Massacre....”

So what if the demonrats want to make a Saturday Night Massacre comparison.

President Trump is not Nixon. President Trump needs to fire Rosenstein and Mueller immediately - history does not repeat itself exactly ever. It is a false premise and threat by the demonrats that firing these two in charge of the witch hunt would end up with the same outcome as Nixon had.

This “news” is nothing more than the democrats and the media (sorry about the redundancy) trying to contrive a watergate 2.0 in order to force the President out of office.

Trump should arrange an investigation into muller and comey , if he already hasn’t already had Sessions sift through the stash out of comeys office as leads and evidence. The reports of Muller lawyering up with democrat hacks may seem like they are going after Trump, but it could be the other way around, the deep state is on defense against Trump”s own investigation which would be conducted legally and ethically, without leaks so we don’t know whats going on.
