This One Tweet May Lead to Donald Trump’s Impeachment
Washington Free Beacon ^ | June 8, 2017 | Matthew Continetti

Posted on 06/09/2017 10:23:43 AM PDT by detective

Twitter helped make Donald Trump president. It may also lead to his impeachment.

The president values Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram as ways to bypass a hostile media and express his thoughts directly and authentically. But there is a difference between tweeting as a candidate for president and tweeting as the president. And there have been plenty of times since January when his Twitter habit has diverted President Trump from his message and agenda.

Impeachment/Removal is a purely political act.

It has NOTHING to do with whether or not statutes were broken, or upheld. The POTUS is such a powerful position under our government that it is, quite literally, above the law.

“It’s not illegal if the President does it” - Richard Nixon

There will be no impeachment.

I like it. Let’s make it go viral.

NothingGate was revealed for what it was in Comey’s testimony yesterday.

So if you tell a cop, “I hope you drop this case eventually”, it constitutes obstruction of justice?

Isn’t it the cop who can also be accused of obstructing justice for trying to trap an innocent man to let the real perps paying him go?

I don’t want to hear liberals and Black Live Matters after this. Liberals live by these totalitarian games

If the president has the option of cancelling the special investigator, he should do so posthaste.

The howling and screams for impeachment by the left and the media (I know, that's redundant) will only be slightly louder than they already are.

Look, the way Trump and Flynn were being haunted by the FBI wiretaps, UNBEKNOWNST TO THEM, under Obama during the transition period, and then under that Sally Yates plant, also early on in the Oval Office, there is every reason to believe that TRUMP was thinking of a Comey spy tape, not a tape by Trump, himself.

Cunning Comey may have forgot that Trump was STILL UNDER A WIRE TAP on these occassions— dinner time, and even the phone conversations Comey had with Trump.

TRUMP NEVER SAID THAT IT WAS HE WHO MIGHT HAVE A TAPE OF THEIR DINNER MEETING AND CONVERSATIONS.

Idiot Comey has never said the FBI EVER stopped wiretapping White House conversations. THAT is why Comey woke up in a cold sweat to do a CYA leak to the NYT.

Trump was talking about “tapes” that goofy Comey himself may have left in place. After all, during that period Comey was listening to Trump’s calls to foreign leaders in the WH, and possibly still listening to Flynn..

I always took Trump’s “Tape” remarks to mean Comey’s own wiretapping apparatus.

The ultimate end to the investigation could be a Presidential pardon. There is no question whatsoever of that right. (Remember Ford's pardon of Nixon before any charges were actually filed, post the resignation.

Other examples would be the outrageous pardons issued by Clinton & Obama, against those who really did not deserve them.

As I have been posting, the President's expression of "hope" to Comey was nothing but a courtesy. The Flynn investigation was never likely going to serve any useful purpose.

True the Author looks like a pajama boy punk but this Mueller business has a stench to it. So how does Comey know leaking his memo will get his ally appointed Special Counsel? Then he is allowed to postpone his show so he can huddle with Mueller. It just reeks.

I did not know that Trump had to justify firing Comey for a “legitimate” reason.

I also didn’t know it was illegal for Trump to just tell Comey to drop the Flynn investigation - for whatever reason.

What am I missing here?
