Democrats’ latest impeachment line: Investigating corruption is ‘election interference’
NY Post ^ | December 09 2019 | Andrew C. McCarthy

Posted on 12/09/2019 11:22:14 PM PST by knighthawk

Here is what you need to understand the House Judiciary Committee’s impeachment hearings on Monday: According to Democrats, any investigation of possible Democratic corruption, or of Democratic collusion with foreign officials to interfere in our elections, is itself impeachable interference in our elections.

Seriously.

Numerous problems mar the impeachment process — not least the rush to judgment. Democrats have been rushing congressional proceedings until they catch up with the judgment that the president must be impeached, a judgment House Democrats have already drawn. The haste rubs many Americans the wrong way.

One question I have not seen anybody ask is the following, "Which people are on the list of people who are immune to investigation by the Trump administration?

If Warren is found to have committed crimes, is she immune from investigation? How about Bernie? At one time there were about 20 potential candidates for Democrat nominee. Are they all immune from investigation?

I read recently that about eight members of the Gambino crime family were arrested. Should they have simply declared that they were running to avoid prosecution?

Could Epstein have avoided his "suicide" by simply running for office? Is it only the Presidency or does running for any office entitle one to immunity?

How long does such immunity last? If somebody besides Biden is nominated does that put Joe in jeopardy again or does the immunity last a lifetime as appears the case for the Clintons?

Projection.

Obama spied on Donald Trump’s campaign and the Democrats are engaging in a partisan witchhunt because by their own admission Donald Trump is the likely preferred candidate in 2020.

Any democrat or anti-American.

Democrats are exempt from all laws and are sticklers at holding them against republicans. That’s the way it works in all 3rd world dictatorships too.

Yeah, welcome to the party, NYP. Investigating and prosecuting Dems is illegal. It’s disqualifying and an impeachable crime. It started becoming official policy during AG Sessions’ confirmation when he was forced to swear he wouldn’t investigate Hillary, then again when he recused from the Russia hoax.

Before visiting the grave of the DOP (dumb, obsolete party), drink plenty of beer. Beans, too. You may want to break wind.

“Which people are on the list of people who are immune to investigation by the Trump administration?”

According to Alan Dershowitz, Hillary is immune. He said we would be a “banana republic” if Trump’s administration ever prosecuted a former political opponent.

Over the years, the clinton’s have proven the best criminal defense is to run for public office.

Biden is validating this dem defense strategy again this year.

As soo as indictments are directed to hildabeast, she’ll declare her candidacy again this year.

ps: glad to see NYP still has some semblance of good journalism today.

Jesse James robbed a train in Canada right before announcing his candidacy. Unfortunately for him, while straightening a picture, his candidacy for POTUS ended before it began.

This entire Democrat impeachment process is election interference.

Even as shoo-in 2016 candidate Clinton underhandedly tied Trump to Russia and blamed both for the DNC server hackings,
the Obama admin cunningly downplayed Russian interference in the election so as not to taint Clinton’s widely-expected victory.

But, after Trump won, a clearly peeved Obama vindictively retaliated. In late December 2016:
<><> Obama expelled Russian diplomats,
<><> Obama closed Russian diplomatic facilities,
<><> Obama imposed sanctions on Russia’s military intelligence service (GRU)
<><> Obama sanctioned four of GRU’s senior officers.

LONG READ HERE https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2019/10/07/not_all_about_the_bidens_why_trump_has_ukraine_on_the_brain_120635.html

The retaliation by Obama seems to be an attempt to bury all traces of evidence with savage presidential power.


The Trump apparat needs to explore this information.

I did a double take here. I "skim read" that line as
HILLARY shows that no one is immune to the guillotine.

Thought she had a new way of eliminating "problems"

Well worth the time to read. Thanks for posting. With so many players in this saga will anyone be brought to justice? Or will Lindsey make it all go away?

I can see the alphabet soup fake news stations scrambling around like cockroaches trying to figure out how to spin all the crap that’s going to be coming out. In a bald-faced lie, McCabe was on CNN yesterday saying the IG report exonerated him and the FBI!!!!! Even the woman interviewing him looked on in shock. This is going to get way uglier.
