Harvard's Tribe on CNN: To impeach Trump, 'you have to shoot to kill'
The Hill ^ | 05/22/18 | Joe Concha

Posted on 05/22/2018 8:13:17 AM PDT by yesthatjallen

Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe cautioned Democrats who are looking to impeach President Trump if the party takes back the House of Representatives, telling CNN on Tuesday, "If you’re going to shoot him, you have to shoot to kill" with "overwhelming" bipartisan support on an impeachment vote.

Tribe, a staunch critic of the president going back to his candidacy, appeared on CNN's "New Day" to discuss his new book, "To End a Presidency: The Power of Impeachment."

Etc...

I liked it when Trump looked like he was wearing a bulletproof vest in 2016.

We’ve been worried about this all along.

The comments from some of the nutjobs on the Hill article are just as frightening.

Imagine if a conservative professor would say “WE NEED TO SHOOT AND KILL” Obama and his Wookiee wife in order to save the republic! All hell would break loose!!

“When you set out to overthrow the King, you must ensure that you kill him.”

I had thought that was from Machiavelli, but couldn’t verify it. Tribe is right to use that quote, especially with a fighter like Trump- don’t come at someone if you aren’t overwhelmingly sure you are going to succeed because if you *DON’T* take them down you are going to be in a world of hurt.. Only a whack job (left or right) would take it as a call to violence- it’s a quote about not starting crap with a powerful man unless you are certain you will win.

The Democrats are idiots if they think they can impeach and remove; thus they will probably try.

“Evidence” is almost irrelevant. Impeachment is insane without knowing there are enough senators to convict. A House vote to censure is easier and has the same consequences if the Senate isn’t known to be going along.

“Civil War #2 being played out before our very eyes.”......

So far shots have not been fired by the “Deplorables”. Why do you think people are purchasing firearms at historic rates never seen before? It’s coming! When/if someone actually does shoot Trump, the wrath of God will fall on many. Be prepared!

Looking forward to the day it’s open season on Leftists, Mr. Tribe.

Larry Tribe hasn’t been in a fight since the sixth grade. Stay vigilant, but this lightweight wouldn’t last very long.

Tribe fits right in the other losers in life at CNN!

We don't need to see nor read anything from CNN when they employ the maggot infected mediots shown below as their premier Fake News bozos!

Why would any normal and sane person believe any fake news from CNN. Just look at CNN's top Fake News’s maggot/mediots.

Rachael Madkow and Susan Mikula dating since 1999 but still not in a hurry to get married!

CNN anchor Don Lemon stepping out on a Saturday night holding hands with his rumored boyfriend. The 51-year-old veteran journalist attended the star-studded Saturday Night Live after party at Tao Restaurant and Night Club in New York City with Tim Malone. It appears as though Lemon has been dating Malone since at least April, according to a number of photos posted to their respective social media accounts. But this is the first time Lemon has been photographed publicly with Malone, who works as a sales executive in his 30s and graduated from Boston College in 2006, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Tribe is one of the communists who thinks almost anything DJT says is a dog whistle comment directed to racists and White nationalists. Yet here he is calling for a presidential kill shot.

Voting isn't going to fix the mess we're in.

I am concerned that the globalist Left will attempt to remove our duly-elected President through impeachment without an underlying crime. If they do that, I imagine many normal Americans will think back on Tribe’s advice.
