Raskin: More House Democrats Are "Signing On" To Impeachment Every Day
RCP Video ^ | 5-28-2019 | Tim Hains

Posted on 05/29/2019 5:07:34 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Monday on CNN's "Outfront," Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, a member of the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees, said that

(snip)

Inside the Democratic caucus "there is a lot of momentum towards an impeachment inquiry, even as people go home over this break, they are hearing more from their constituents about it and more people are signing on to it. But I think we should be very clear about what they’re signing on to. I think that whatever divisions are in the caucus have really been overstated. I think that there’s a convergence of view that we need everything on the table at this point, including the 25th Amendment, including the Impeachment Clause, including the Speech and Debate Clause, including the Emoluments Clause."

TOPICS: Issues; Parties
KEYWORDS:
So far Democrats love to talk about 'impeachment inquiry'. Which, by the way, Democrats emphasized as not an impeachment.

As we can expect Pelosi leading the Trump not stable charge (i.e., 25th Amendment) because she knows there's not much there for the 'obstruction of justice' nor for the Emoluments charge. As well the Speech and Debate Clause is a real stretch.

Even with the 25th Amendment charge, there is no hope of furthering the removal of Trump. And all it creates is chaos inside the country, aid and abet our foreign enemies. They (Democrats) know that, but they don't care. As they made it very clear, when it comes to removing Trump (except by election), everything is on the table.

They have no choice. They are boxed into it now.

They can’t pass anything. Even if they wanted to, it would require them to give up some things that Trump wants. So they’ll never do it. And they already know they are going to get sized up as the small house circus that got nothing done, in the next election. The only political game that they have, and they know it’s very very risky, is to impeach, or at least make a huge decoy rouse out of impeachment.

They still can’t get past the fact that they lost the election.

Pathetic.

Their grounds for impeachment are he is a white guy. Up until recently you had to be a rich white guy but the new rules say you merely have to be a white guy.

They want to see Trump going into the re election campaign as an ‘impeached’ President.

They are going to find that it won’t stop Trump supporters one bit.

Liberal challenges to this President have all been smoke and mirrors.

The blizzard of groundless and unsupported allegations has only covered Liberals with crap and diminished THEIR status as credible or professional leaders.

The President grows in stature and HIS supporters are becoming MORE dedicated, with every single challenge that Liberals throw at him and his administration.

Liberals have certainly dug themselves into a hole!

BTW-Liberals have got themselves “joined-at-the-hip” to the American MSM. When that marriage was working in their favor, they gratuitously abused every instant of media time and attention their privileged association assured them.

Now, it’s apparent to EVERYONE that their wholly dishonest and patently foul ‘deal with the devil’ was NOT without risk.

THAT’S the reason Liberals are so desperately casting all logic and caution to the wind. It also explains why media personalities are fidgeting like whores in church. THEY know full well that they are going under the bus right along with the political creeps they abetted for so long. Because, depend on it, no Liberal would have dreamed or attempted any of this stuff without the ASSURED-constant, unreserved, unconditional and wholesale co-operation of the MSM.

“ALL the Democrats will sign on when Barr EXPOSES all the Criminality and TREASONOUS activity of the FBI, CIA, DNI, JUST US DEPT, etc!”

This is a good thing. It will strengthen Barr’s resolve to get all of the treasonous folks “smoked out into the open” where they can be effectively prosecuted. I just hope that we have the stomach for a few executions for treason, coupled with dozens going to Federal prison for decades, perhaps for the rest of their lives.

The fact this is CNN is real suspect. They are NOT getting the news accurately, maybe they are misinformed, as people are trying to poke them in the eye. But CNN, is NOT a reliable source and I doubt this... is misinformation again.

CNN is actually fun to watch when some event happens that is hurtful to the Democrat party, before they have their orders downloaded into their brain chips. They sputter and spew and have no idea what to say, think or do.

It’s funny

These so called ‘journalists’ are all Hollywood wannabe’s and the Hollywood clowns want to be ‘journalists’

None of the people in the MSM (including entertainers) have one iota of credibility or honesty.

These nitwit DIM/LIB losers have lost many elections; however, many of them they cheated enough so that they “won”. Losers and criminals all.

Raskin was born and raised for this. His father founded the Institute for Policy Studies, a hard left think tank which opposed American initiatives around the globe.

It doesnt really matter. People are ambivalent if not openly skeptical of the democrats motives here. It will fail spectacularly as McConnell has already stated that the Senate would swat the impeachment away in quick fashion. Unless Mueller rearranges his opinion on his own report today the Dems have nothing at all to lean on. The more time goes by the more Barr uncovers only helps Trump. The word backfire comes to mind.
