The Time for Impeachment Is Here
Rolling Stone ^ | APRIL 19, 2019 | Jamil Smith

Posted on 04/19/2019 2:29:49 PM PDT by conservative98

Think about what happened here, about what is described in that report. The country’s elections were attacked by a foreign power. Russia is a vote suppressor. Understanding that,what motivation would this President have to move a finger to stop them? Or the Republican Party, for that matter? Theonly hope for accountability, perhaps before a court of law after Trump isno longer President, is theDemocratic Party that has the power to start impeachment proceedings.

Should Democrats take impeachment off thetable, they would let Trump get away with it. It is that elementary. There is no guarantee that he will not repeat the very same encouragement of those Russian efforts, all the while playing dumb so as to avoid legal culpability.

If Democrats were smarter,they would understand that initiating the impeachment of Trump might actually galvanize their base because it would demonstrate that leadership was willing to take the obvious, the logical and the constitutional step once presented with such an abundance of evidence. They would grasp that the visual of their party standing up to a president wedded equally to corruption and to his assortment of bigotries would be appealing to an electorate where black voters are increasingly driving the conversation.Democrats would seize upon the Mueller Report as a flashpoint for organization and recruitment, rather than take the task of prosecution that the Constitution assigned to Congress, hand it off to voters and call that “democracy.”It is up to us as citizens to choose our elected officials, not to do their jobs for them.

All this anger from theseearly Democratic soundbites, I do wonder where it is going and whether it will ever find a more productive home than a cable news segment or my inbox. Impeaching Barr for performing as Trump’s defense attorney would be a good place to start

Exactly what I was thinking. Is it possible to impeach Obama at this point?

The country’s elections were attacked by a foreign power. . . .it was all under 0bama this happened, while 0bama said there was nothing happening!

Impeach 0bama!

The rabid lib press always shielded Obama from the many impeachment threats that bubbled just under the surface of his traitorous administration.

Now that same pack of mad dogs are foaming at the mouth for the baseless impeachment of President Trump.

The battle will be a very bloody one.

I would welcome this move, but the Dem leadership isn’t as stupid as the writer, unfortunately.

Normal people are burnt out on this subject and will ignore or dislike it from now on.

“”The only hope for accountability, perhaps before a court of law after Trump is no longer President, is the Democratic Party that has the power to start impeachment proceedings.””

Hmmmm - “after Trump is no longer president” - “”start impeachment proceedings?””

That sounds like a winner!

Aside from the obvious TDS, the writing in this article is terrible.

...they would let Trump get away with it. It is that elementary. There is no guarantee that he will not repeat the very same encouragement of those Russian efforts...

Awkward and a bit pompous and that is just one example.

The writer sounds like he was an affirmative action graduate of an Ivy league university.

Oh well then I stand corrected because I thought FR was to keep people informed not just fish for comments as you stated is your desire.

“The Time for Impeachment Is Here”

On the other hand, the time for the arrest of leftist traitors for treason is also here.

Let us meet with these impeachment weenies and lock and load on a street, in a field or a dark alley and see what happens.

That’s not fair to say that to me. Posting it let’s people address it. And it’s just what people are interested in right now. This one post has more comments than your last 10 posts combined. What do Mark Levin and most conservative commentators post on their twitter and talk about on radio most of the time? Propaganda from the left and they addresses it with it comments.

Does Romney really have this kind of power? I thought he was spanked pretty badly after his op-ed in the WaPo. I am not challenging you at all, I am just really curious as to why this is so.

“Is it possible to impeach Obama at this point?“

It is permissible under the Constitution. Is it possible? Probably not.

Anyone with a name like Jamil is immediately suspect to be dumb as a box of rocks.

Then he goes and proves it in less than 50 words.
