Top Democrat donor pushes for Trump impeachment
The Hill ^ | 6/10/17 | Josh Delk

Posted on 06/10/2017 7:04:30 AM PDT by markomalley

Leading Democratic Party donor Tom Steyer is asking lawmakers to begin the impeachment process for President Trump.

Steyer, whose superPAC NextGen Climate Action poured about $100 million into the 2016 election, penned a letter Friday to Congress persuading them that Trump had obstructed justice and asking them to begin the impeachment process.
  
In the letter, Steyer argues that the “clear and undisputed facts about Mr. Trump’s attempt to impede an FBI investigation demand an immediate impeachment inquiry by the House of Representatives.”
 
The letter was first reported by The Huffington Post.

According to Steyer, Trump’s alleged interference into the investigation of his campaign’s possible ties to Russia “clearly meets the standards of impeachment” as set by the articles drafted against former Presidents Richard Nixon in 1974 and Bill Clinton in 1998.

Most Democrat lawmakers have publicly avoided talk of impeachment even as controversy swirls around Trump.

In a press conference Wednesday, Reps. Al Green (D-Texas) and Brad Sherman (D-Calif.) announced they are drafting articles of impeachment against the president.

Democrats have been milking this guy with impeachment dreams. It’s all just fundraising after hillary blew a billion.

“I hope you can see your way clear to letting the Flynn thing go” is the max position on this - and only if you believe Comey’s telling of it 1000%. Every other fact contributed will only soften the most extreme take and impeach Comey’s credibility until he seems a lying mass of jello.

Time to move on. It’s all over.

“Having invested all that money into Hillary, he is unable to get over his losses and should go after her.”

The guy being a billionaire is probably used to getting his way and people kissing his backside. He is undoubtedly dumfounded as to why things have changed for him and he is flailing. Pitiful.

Steyer's a real winner. This is the company he keeps- Moonbeam on the left and Pablo Gomez Jr. On the right (http://www.breitbart.com/california/2017/04/03/berkeley-activist-arrested-for-murder-wants-to-be-referred-to-as-they/)

Trump was not under investigation, so it is impossible for him to impede an investigation. He is in charge of all investigations. They work for him. He doesn’t work for them.

That said, he let Kelly go for lying to the VP. And it obviously did not stop any investigation.

He can’t impede an investigation into collusion because everyone has said ther is no collusion.

He fired Comey for doing a bad job with the Clinton email announcement. No investigation has stopped because of that.

So this is NothingGate.

Steyer’s business interests and associates need to be targeted and destroyed.

DummiComs have been pushing for the first term (even first year!) impeachment of EVERY Republican president since 1969.

People have held back, taking back America, waiting for a constitutionalist.

We got real close with Trump. If the scumbag, Marxist, Gore-bull warming useful idiots impeach Trump....... It’s time to hold back, no longer.

Trump didn’t interfere with the investigation, there were no links between Russian (Soviet) hacking and the Trump campaign, and blah blah blah.

Sour grapes Demcorats.

It certainly would be nice to see a witchhunt directed at the left for a change.

“Reps. Al Green (D-Texas) and Brad Sherman (D-Calif.)”

A black guy and some retard from California.

That way the Dems can tell the base they tried, while sane America will naturally think these guys are just the low on the branch types that would do something so stupid, and thus not hold the entire DNC responsible.

>>Based on what exactly?

Common progressapoodle triggers...

Rolling eyes.
Crossing arms.
Eating garlic for lunch.
Farting.

OMG, The Horror!

Doesn't matter as long as they "feel" threatened.  The herd will always bleat and tremble sympathetically, on cue.


"PIP seems to have become a popular tool to the new generation middle managers for the purpose of a "homogeneous team".  That is, PIP has become an acceptable and common practice to get rid of the "black horse" employee that is typically high-skilled and highly productive, thus at odds with a team of mostly mediocre members (including the manager) and hard to terminate based on pure work performance."

In this case, the "black horse" target is the POTUS.

Ryan should censure these morons if they bring articles of impeachment...

They are abusing a very important aspect of our Constitutional process to remove real scumbags
