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.

Meh. Doubtful, but Mueller can now be terminated because of a) friendship to investigatee and b) investigatee just said no collusion, hence end of discussions.

Do these Liberal treasonous schmucks think millions of Deplorables will just say “oh well?”

I believe the DC goons and MSM need to see millions of We The People in the streets in support of President Trump.

The Democrats can’t “start impeachment hearings” except on a street-corner.

Sometimes a little perspective can be helpful. The left has been trying very hard to make the case that Trump = Nixon.

So, what do we have so far?

Trump (on Flynn): “He is a good guy. I hope you can let this go”

Hmmm...sounds pretty bad. How does Nixon compare?

Nixon (articles of impeachment):
Article 1
On June 17, 1972, and prior thereto, agents of the Committee for the Re-election of the President committed unlawful entry of the headquarters of the Democratic National Committee in Washington, District of Columbia, for the purpose of securing political intelligence. Subsequent thereto, Richard M. Nixon, using the powers of his high office, engaged personally and through his close subordinates and agents, in a course of conduct or plan designed to delay, impede, and obstruct the investigation of such illegal entry; to cover up, conceal and protect those responsible; and to conceal the existence and scope of other unlawful covert activities.

The means used to implement this course of conduct or plan included one or more of the following:

making false or misleading statements to lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States;

withholding relevant and material evidence or information from lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States;

approving, condoning, acquiescing in, and counselling witnesses with respect to the giving of false or misleading statements to lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States and false or misleading testimony in duly instituted judicial and congressional proceedings;

interfering or endeavouring to interfere with the conduct of investigations by the Department of Justice of the United States, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the office of Watergate Special Prosecution Force, and Congressional Committees;

approving, condoning, and acquiescing in, the surreptitious payment of substantial sums of money for the purpose of obtaining the silence or influencing the testimony of witnesses, potential witnesses or individuals who participated in such unlawful entry and other illegal activities;

endeavouring to misuse the Central Intelligence Agency, an agency of the United States;

disseminating information received from officers of the Department of Justice of the United States to subjects of investigations conducted by lawfully authorized investigative officers and employees of the United States, for the purpose of aiding and assisting such subjects in their attempts to avoid criminal liability;

making or causing to be made false or misleading public statements for the purpose of deceiving the people of the United States into believing that a thorough and complete investigation had been conducted with respect to allegations of misconduct on the part of personnel of the executive branch of the United States and personnel of the Committee for the Re-election of the President, and that there was no involvement of such personnel in such misconduct: or

endeavouring to cause prospective defendants, and individuals duly tried and convicted, to expect favoured treatment and consideration in return for their silence or false testimony, or rewarding individuals for their silence or false testimony.

Probably the only place President Trump can hold a private conversation is one of his own golf courses.

Which could be why they go ballistic every time he goes to Mara Lago.

I wish they’d hurry up with the new WH Commdir. With the Left reeling and trying to reload after yesterday, we should have had stuff to slam them with from the minute the testimony ended. Extremely valuable 24hr cycle just wasted.

Trump did not say there were tapes.

He said there were “tapes”. Quotes were intentionally placed there by Trump.

"Comey's testimony was a very skilled lawyer making the case by implication that the president obstructed justice by directing him to drop the Flynn investigation, then firing him after he had failed to do so.

Even if Trump had demanded that Comey shut down the investigation and fired him for that reason alone, there is no violation of the law. Trump had the absolute right to both shut down an investigation (especially one involving national security) and fire Comey and everyone currently involved in the investigation. Frankly in light of all the leaks, he should shut down the whole investigation and demand the resignations of every agent that refuses to take a lie detector test to confirm they were not the source of any leaks.

He's a NeverTrump RINO of the National Review/Weekly Standard school, and editor-in-chief of that rag Free Beacon.

Meh. Don’t even think that matters. It’s all Trump, cheese in the maze.

Things don’t work like they did. Study showed 73% of voters last election got primary election news from internet.
