Forget impeachment. Tee up prosecution.
Washington Post ^ | June 6, 2019 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 06/06/2019 2:45:30 PM PDT by detective

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has surmised that polls showing overwhelming opposition to President Trump’s impeachment may reflect a misunderstanding as to what “impeachment” means. At her weekly press conference on June 5, she said: “Do you know that most people think impeachment means you’re out of office? Did you ever get that feeling or are you just in the bubble here? They think if you get impeached, you’re gone, and that is completely not true.”

In fact we’ve never removed a president after impeachment and trial in the Senate. Although Richard M. Nixon resigned before a full House vote, the case laid out by the Senate Watergate hearings and then by the House Judiciary Committee was so powerful that Nixon’s guilt was definitively established, and Nixon resigned before the Senate could convict him. In doing so, Congress reaffirmed red lines — obstruction of justice, defiance of subpoenas — upholding our democratic and constitutional norms.

We are definitely well in the Church of Laodicea stage.

I believe the man from Revelation 6:2 will be revealed before too long, or so it seems.

The “world” is clamoring for a “peace deal”.

The United Nations already called for a “man of peace” to rule for “seven years”. (in 2016)

And now....the article is missing

“Obstruction” as outlined in the Mueller Spittle, according to the writer.

Yeah, that’s all they’ve got.

They wanted to prosecute Nixon even after they ran him out of office. Hence, Ford pardoned him. Leftists have bee unhinged for a long time. They hound their enemies relentlessly.

That was great.

And that is exactly how the courts will look at it.

If a Conservative is having doubts about Trump, they should consider candidly the actions of the Leftists in this nation and how they view him.

That should get them back on track.

Democrats are insane. They are the ones who need to be locked up.


Screw that, unless they’re forced to pay for their own incarceration. What’s preferable is exile them, and forbid reentry to the U.S. including short-term visits.

Forget speakership. Tee up commitment to assisted care at a dementia facility.

They run and control the media agenda. Hut, they are being exposed more and more.

They are definitely blinding the minds of millions.

Frankly, I never thought days like this would be seen before the Tribulation.

But the Two Witnesses haven’t shown up yet.

My guess is they are both in the on-deck circle...because both of them must arrive at the same time, prophesy at the same time, die at the same time, resurrect at the same time, rapture to Heaven with each other at the same time.

It’s pretty obvious now that a criminal enterprise has gained control of the House of Representatives. They took power illegally — by stealing the 2018 midterms — and now are plotting a coup. The Senate is not much better. It’s time to surround the Capitol with tanks until we can sort out what’s going on.
