'I feel bad that I left': John Kelly warned Trump he would be impeached
Washington Examiner ^ | October 26, 2019 | David M. Drucker

SEA ISLAND, Georgia — John Kelly warned President Trump that hiring a “yes man” to succeed him as White House chief of staff would lead to impeachment and, in hindsight, regrets his decision to resign.

House Democrats launched an impeachment inquiry into Trump less than a year after Kelly departed the administration. The retired, four-star Marine general suggested the blame lies squarely with acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney and other advisers who are unable, or unwilling, to keep the president out of trouble.

Trump would be impeached by this house no matter what he does.

Truman said it first and said it best: “If you want a friend in Washington, get a dog.”

They planned on impeaching him the minute he won the election. If all they have is a phone call then they will fail yet again.

“I don’t believe that was a random question”

I think you are on to something. This whole thing seems to have been carefully orchestrated over a long period of time, replete with the usual rigged conversations. The “whistle blower” was merely the trip wire to get the show on the road. That is why Schiff no longer has any need of him. He is truly Steele Document II.

The ‘impeachment inquiry’ is about getting out in front of the coming indictments.

The Ukraine hoax is to cover-up the Russian Collusion Hoax.

Now, when the indictments start coming, they will say ‘Trump and Barr are just doing this for political revenge.

I’ve already heard those opening salvos.

This is hilarious.

People pretending that there’s even a nod to actual cause and effect in the dem’s bullcrap is just amazing.

The “impeachment” play is all about narrative theater. It doesn’t make a lick of difference who was on the staff or not, what Trump did or not, it was going to happen.

The scumbags would have played this theater over the “two scoops” if they couldn’t come up with anything else.

This is all pretend to churn up their rabids.

And That. Is. All.

I believe this setup goes back at least to George Stephanopolos June 17th interview with Trump.

I believe Trump spent something like two full days -- maybe 12-16 hours total -- staging that interview with Stephanopoulos.

I don't know if he's his own worst enemy, but that seems like an awful lot of effort for an interview with a TV network that Trump derides constantly as "fake news."

I don’t believe that was a random question. I also believe that Trump can be his own worst enemy. How did he not see this coming?

Oh, but he did see it coming...and they played right into his hands...he will expose each and every one of them...started with Biden Sr.& Jr, and will continue on through the line from there...sit back and enjoy...

Kelly just not a big picture type of guy. There’s a lot of that in the Republican ranks.

If the Democrats thought they had a valid case, Trump would already be impeached.

Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!

Hmmmmm. I’m accustomed to senior naval officers full of themselves. I think this Marine general gives himself a bit too much blame or credit for events. Like there was this House takeover. Perhaps he is familiar with it.
