GOP lawmaker: Trump has engaged in multiple actions that 'meet threshold for impeachment'
The Hill ^ | May 18, 2019 | John Bowden

Posted on 05/18/2019 1:43:59 PM PDT by jazusamo

A Michigan Republican and member of the House Freedom Caucus broke with his party Saturday in a rare series of tweetes accusing President Trump of "impeachable conduct."

Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) tweeted Saturday that the president's actions to potentially obstruct the now-shuttered special counsel investigation warranted impeachment by the House, and accused Attorney General William Barr of "deliberately misrepresenting" Robert Mueller's report of the investigation's findings.

"Here are my principal conclusions: 1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report. 2. President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct. 3. Partisanship has eroded our system of checks and balances. 4. Few members of Congress have read the report," Amash wrote Saturday afternoon.

"Mueller’s report reveals that President Trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment," the Michigan Republican continued. "Mueller’s report identifies multiple examples of conduct satisfying all the elements of obstruction of justice, and undoubtedly any person who is not the president of the United States would be indicted based on such evidence."

He needs to clear up the Mueller nonsense.

People think he is a Russian agent. I’m serious.

The average American watches these foolish news programs, the View, etc.

He needs to clear this crap up once and for all, stop tweeting and address the nation before people tune out during the summer and focus on the economy. Period.

To go after Trump for THIS nonsense shows he is no friend of the American people. He can take his fake libertarianism and go to hell.

He speaks his mind.

Yeah, so does AOC. So what? He doesn't belong in the Republican party.

Very possible that he’s compromised. Or he’s just a jackass. Take your pick.

I bet you this is about Israel - he’ll just never admit it.

The way to clear this up are indictments and arrests. Trump giving a speech on this will never be seen as anything more than self serving, especially after the media gets done with it.

Amash is not a new white-anter*... he's been one for a while.

He loves illegal immigration. He voted against a resolution supporting ICE, voted against funding for the wall, and co-sponsored a resolution to block Trump’s executive action regarding wall funding.

Some people rise to their level of incompetence.

Others rise do to their level of disloyalty.

I would not want to be in a foxhole with any of these people.

Wiki agrees his father is palestinian but states that both parents are Christian.

" accusing President Trump of "impeachable conduct.""

If they believe in this so strongly, why the HE@@ are they not proceeding?

These bastards are simply throwing that out there in an attempt to use it as a political wedge that keeps the independents and more conservative dems from voting for Trump in 2020.

They're traitorous attempts better not work.
