GOP throws up impeachment shield around Trump
CNN ^ | May 20, 2019 | Stephen Collinson

Posted on 05/20/2019 6:18:44 AM PDT by Innovative

Republicans are moving fast to squelch Justin Amash's rebellion against Donald Trump before his conclusion that the President "engaged in impeachable conduct" -- the first by a GOP lawmaker -- can gather momentum.

But Democrats who want a more hardline strategy against the President are seizing on the Michigan congressman's sudden intervention to pile pressure on their own leaders for tougher action.

Amash's act of conscience on Saturday sparked immediate speculation over whether a tiny leak in the Republican dam could grow into a torrent of support running away from the President.

The Democrats are gonna do anything to get the squishy Repukes to turn on the president. We know there are a number of Repukes who are in bed with the RATS in the Deep State so this move by that turd Amash is not a shock! It’s all coming to a head now! The globalists are cornered and they have to drive Trump out of office NOW! We’re in for a tumultuous time between now and Election Day next year, maybe the roughest stretch in our nation’s history!

A GOP lawmaker?

Where?

There is a point where antiTrumpism disqualifies you from the GOP. Just ask Jeff Flake.

Justin Amash is going to get primaried. He’s a halfass Libertarian that shouldn’t be in the Republican tent anyway.

LOL. Follow the money. That’s what this is all about with Amash.

> The media did not steal the documents.

In at least one known case, a thing of value (sexual favors) was traded for classified information, on a regular basis.

That’s not journalism, that’s espionage. A journalist can receive classified info free and clear, but buying it is a whole ‘nother ballgame.

In that case, they could be prosecuted, then. And if the Rosenbergs fried for espionage, so theoretically could they. But Aldritch Ames is still getting fat in jail. Personally, I don’t have as much animus for the media as I do for Hillary. She clearly was using her office as SOS to traffic in state secrets. She clearly obstructed justice by erasing incriminating e-mails. She is clearly still sowing discord and undermining the government, which is typical of spies. Hang the bitch.

Amash's act of conscience

Does he also have to perform 3 miracles, or does he automatically get canonized by the lamestream media?

How about we look closer at Justin Amash’s deals with China?

The author is a white male (& ugly as hell). CNN has taught me not to read or listen to white males. I am passing on this article.

I turned on Glenn Beck’s radio show for less than a minute this morning.

Long enough to hear Beck’s side kick say, regarding Amash, “There was no obstruction. He (Amash) is wrong about that.”

But then the sidekick said, “Amash is a solid conservative.”

BS. A “solid conservative” would not be trashing one of the most solid conservative presidents, aka Donald J. Trump, in American history.

The actual “solid conservatives” who were weak on Trump early on (such as Mark Levin) have long since come around.

This guy is about as “solid conservative” as Morning Joe.

Damned straight! They’ll be FIRST up against the wall; hunted like rabid dogs.

AND — for what it’s worth — they ought to all be fervently praying that happens BEFORE Revelation 19 when they stand to be personally assassinated by a returning, and justly vengeful Christ.

They will dream one up. If they have to do so, they will get some state like NY to dream up a charge.
