Mueller time is over. Now it’s impeachment time
The Boston Globe ^ | March 24, 2019 | Ben Clements and Ron Fein

Posted on 03/24/2019 10:49:08 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

At long last, Special Counsel Robert Mueller has submitted his report to the attorney general. What does that mean for Congress — and the question of impeachment?

For 21 months, leaders of both parties have found one consistent area of agreement: the ongoing Mueller investigation provided a convenient excuse to duck, deflect, and delay discussion of impeachment. With each new revelation of impeachable conduct, the bipartisan response from Congress has been that impeachment talk was “premature” until the Mueller report was complete.

That excuse is now gone. The question is whether the House of Representatives will begin an impeachment investigation, or manufacture a new excuse.

There has never been a principled reason to wait. Even aside from the matters covered by Mueller investigation, there have long been ample independent grounds for an impeachment investigation in parallel with the Mueller probe. For example, since the day he took office, Trump has been lining his pockets with federal taxpayer dollars and unconstitutional payoffs from dubious foreign governments. The Framers specifically named that an impeachable offense. He has repeatedly directed federal agencies to target his political “enemies list.” That was part of the articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon. And, appearing under the stage name of “Individual-1,” Trump directed his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to make illegal payments to influence the 2016 election — a federal crime for which Cohen will report to prison in less than two months.

I hate to tell you two Boston Glob pixies this but you can’t impeach the President of the United States because he makes you sad. Sorry boys. Read the Constitution. If it’s over your heads, have somebody read and explain it to you.

“For example, since the day he took office, Trump has been lining his pockets with federal taxpayer dollars and unconstitutional payoffs from dubious foreign governments.”

Since Trump doesn’t take a salary, we can cross federal taxpayer dollars off the list. They will have to name those “payments from dubious investors” before I believe anything these morons say.

WHAT?

Lining his pockets with federal taxpayer dollars?? What are they talking about?

And the unconstitutional payments from foreign governments....aren't they getting confused with the Clinton Foundation ...home of the slush fund for the suddenly really rich Clintons?

These people are either nuts...liars....or both.

These are not journalists. They are propagandists and should be treated as traitors.

Hell would freeze over first. Don't kid yourself. There aren't enough citizens willing to risk their lives and lifestyle even if Trump were impeached and removed.

Fake investigation, no collusion, no crime but time to impeach. These bastards need to be tarred and feathered.

There was a paid ad on YouTube yesterday from one of those left wing brain-dead billionaires, asking people to join in the campaign for impeachment.
