Trump didn't obstruct justice or collude with Russia -- So why impeach?
Fox News ^ | August 4, 2019 | Deroy Murdock

Posted on 08/04/2019 2:26:56 PM PDT by Kaslin

Notwithstanding the catastrophic congressional appearances by former Special Counsel Robert Mueller and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's nervousness about impeachment, 118 die-hard Democrats (plus renegade former Republican Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan), are hell-bent on prying President Trump from the White House, long before Election Day 2020. But for what?

"Trump-Russia collusion” turned out to be a bad acid trip, although the attendant hallucinations still reverberate among fervent Democrats. As for obstruction of justice, there was none. Somebody should explain this to these Trump haters — perhaps with crayons and butcher paper.

Here’s what impeachment-grade obstruction looks like.

On June 17, 1972, the so-called White House "plumbers" illegally broke into the Democratic National Committee’s Washington, D.C., headquarters in the Watergate office complex to spy on President Richard Milhous Nixon’s opponents.

Nixon and his top aides unlawfully funneled “hush money” to these criminals, in cash, so they would clam up rather than sing. Nixon and his top aides also pressured the CIA to tell the FBI, in Nixon’s words: "Stay the hell out of this."

Nixon six times asserted his presidential right to executive privilege and hid incriminating materials from scrutiny (not least Oval Office audiotapes of Nixon conspiring with his henchmen). This cover-up prompted Nixon’s resignation on August 9, 1974.

In contrast, Russiagate involved no underlying crime. According to Mueller's report: "The Special Counsel confirmed that the Russian government sponsored efforts to illegally interfere with the 2016 presidential election but did not find that the Trump campaign or other Americans colluded in those schemes."

Although we have found that the accused horse thief didn’t actually steal any horses, however, he’s still guilty of trying to resist being hanged for it.

Liberals think they’re above the law... they want to impeach him because they don’t like him.

For quite some time I’ve been saying that he obstructed INjustice.

Even noticed a few national media types saying the same thing

Impeachment has never been about any actual crimes being committed. It will always be about politics. Mad Maxine was right: Impeachment is whatever that want it to be.

Of all the things said about this President, good, bad, or indifferent, none stand out more than the FACT this is a very talented business man, who can and does wear many hats, most of the time successfully, but wear them he does regardless of political popularity and it takes a big man with courage and knowledge to carry that off. However the most notable thing that keeps me standing with this POTUS is his love of country and he calls me an AMERICAN.

Just heard the top of the hour radio news (ABC). It sounded like it was written in P’yongyang. That’s why our domestic commies run around unchecked.

Because he’s a White Man who threw a black family out of the home they were squatting in for eight years.

And because he owns golf courses and played golf this past weekend amidst two mass shootings within 24 hours.

And because he’s been married multiple times and all his wives were beauty queen quality and his female children have blond hair.

Guess that’s more than enough.

Impeach? We should be arresting all who were involved in the attempted coup.

Impeach? Go ahead and suffer the consequences.

They lost for the first time in decades, probably since I was really young, and I am older now. The Left’s gigantic temper tantrum is more than un-American. It’s leading us to disaster.

We would be told to suck it up and move on, gritting our teeth. I’m done with that.

Because the DNC paid big bucks to Russia to get propaganda to interfere with the election and they want their moneys worth?
