Five Times Democrats Didn't Care When Obama Committed Obstruction of Justice
PJ ^ | December 6, 2019 | MATT MARGOLIS

Posted on 12/08/2019 2:36:18 AM PST by gattaca

Listening to Democrats make their “case” for impeaching Trump is like watching a child make excuses for why they should be able to stay up late or not have to eat their vegetables. It’s an endless evolving list of explanations and excuses. We’ve seen them allege a quid pro quo, bribery, extortion… basically whatever polled well on a given week. One fairly new angle they’ve been pushing is that the mere pushback against subpoenas is tantamount to obstruction of justice—an impeachable offense.

Professor Jonathan Turley destroyed this argument during his testimony this week before the House Judiciary Committee. “He’s allowed to do that; we have three branches, not two. If you impeach a president, if you make a high crime and misdemeanor out of going to the courts, it is an abuse of power. It’s your abuse of power,” Turley said, referring Congress. “You are doing precisely what you’re criticizing the president for doing.”

Democrats don't care about obstruction of justice. They don't care about justice! They don't care about crime, corruption, mendacity, rape, intimidation of witnesses, perjury, the intimidation of witnesses, voter fraud, or the destruction of the USA. In fact, if their leaders or minions commit such acts, they celebrate! They consider themselves privileged and anointed, their luxuries to be their right.

The Democrat Dream is a super-rich oligarchy (themselves, of course) wallowing in luxury and privilege, ruling over the dependent, obedient masses.

Professor Jonathan Turley destroyed Democrap's charge that Trump going to the courts is impeachable.

TURLEY: “He’s allowed to do that; we have three branches, not two. If you make a high crime and misdemeanor out of going to the courts, it is an abuse of power....... it’s the House's abuse of power. You are doing precisely what you’re criticizing the president for doing.”

its a principle that in dealing with the left they ALWAYS accuse you of exactly that which it is they themselves are guilty of. ALWAYS

Just FYI, not a big deal. It just tells them where the link was clicked. Can be twitter, facebook etc or in this case, email/newsletter campaign. Looks a whole lot nicer without it though

Bringing up the past is irrelevant. The left cares about one thing and one thing only and that’s power at any cost and the hell with America and the Constitution.

They’re communist plain and simple.

Trump won’t be President forever. If Republicans haven’t learned to fight back by then and instead go back their “reach across the aisle” surrendering, there’s no reason (for me, anyway) to vote for one.

Presidential Legal Obligations 101:
Art 2, Sec. 3 of the US Constitution obligates the President to investigate and ask for investigations of corruption in countries we provide funds to.

If you can’t vote for a Democrat, but don’t want to vote for Republicans who won’t fight back, then that seems to leave only one solution. That would be to abolish the party system & vote for whoever is (seemingly) the best man. Needless to say, if that were actually done, it would change campaigns & campaign funding a bit. It might give some that are now Independents a little better chance.

I have been amazed the GOP would never fight back. I thought they were just afraid of being called racist. Then it dawned on me the whole “good guys/bad guys” thing has been a ruse. It is almost like a new party is forming around Trump. I’m fine with that. It is time.
