A group of freshman House Democrats are on a private crusade to get Rep. Justin Amash (I-Mich.) appointed as an impeachment manager, according to a new report.
The group, led by Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.) and consisting of about 30 freshman Dems, has asked House leaders to consider Amash as a potential manager, the Washington Post reported.
The now-independent congressman was formerly a member of the GOP and the House Freedom Caucus until earlier this year, when he publicly argued that President Trump had committed impeachable offenses based on former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report.

LOL — You and some others picked up on the smell of this turd before most of us did. And you had him nailed. I was wrong about him.
It’s always frustrating when you’re trying to convince your political allies that someone or something is rotten and they don’t believe you. I had that gift of insight on others ahead of time (like Flake in AZ, whose Senate candidacy I opposed in 2012, or Willard the Rat going back to 2006, or Ah-nold the Austrian Socialist in 2003... etc.), but would, alas, frequently take years before folks mad at me for going after them then would come back around and say, “you were right.” Of course, not much of a gift to know and not be able to change minds at the time — more of a curse. :-\
