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.

Bring us a scalp from the coup or forever endure the clamor for impeachment. If the left feared jail for their crimes they would now become silent. They are not silent because deep state crimes will be hidden in plain sight.

The real cover up has been happening in the last 24 hours as the crimes are washed away... in summary.

You are witnessing the collapse of the largest pre-planned and coordinated propaganda event in modern day history. ‘Projection’ 101.

So, Mueller found nothing, but Trump is guilty, so let’s impeach.

I wish they would but I’m afraid they know better. They will just continue to scream and make unfounded accusations.

The only impeachment should be of every elected Democrat who called for this sham investigation.

The calm before the storm? What happens when a blockade (threat) is dismantled & removed? “You’ll find out.” Children used as shields (manufactured crimes of perjury)?

And don’t forget Lois Lerners’ elite ruling bureaucrat boss Koskinen sneering before Congress basically: ‘to hell with you’.

The DOJ is irreparably corrupt. The left are in an all out do or die war against America. They’re so close to permanent control in the U.S. they can taste it. And the conditions are perfect for a complete takeover

Unless PDJT goes full pinochet(martial law, etc), I’m afraid it’ll be all out war.

You know if this was true i am sure all the networks would have been running with it 24/7/365 and actively protesting the white house. They’ve been on Trump Watch for 2+ years and complain about every single thing he does or doesn’t do, yet no peep about this stuff.

What strange “logic”: The Mueller report has found that Trump wasn’t guilty of collusion, therefore it’s time to start impeachment proceedings.
