In the court filing, Democrats accused the Department of Justice (DOJ) of essentially engaging in a cover-up to protect Trump, claiming that the DOJ took an “extraordinary position in” the Democrats’ impeachment investigations by not “disclosing grand-jury material needed for the House’s impeachment of President Trump and the Senate’s trial to remove him from office.”

Democrats’ insistence at continuing to investigate the findings of the Mueller probe comes after Attorney General William Barr said last week in an NBC News interview that “there was and never has been any evidence of collusion.”

House Democrats have said in recent days that there is no limit to the number of times that they can impeach the president

Hopefully a few will pay the price when they’re voted out of office.

Oh, I think there is. In this case, the number is 1.

I’m a computer guy, so I could rig the Democrats an automated system that spews out 49,604 Impeachments a second.

Is it time to use the 2nd. Amendment?

The fact that The SupremeCourt and all the Inferior Courts refuse to even recognize the 2nd Amendment bars them from making any laws that allow them to take your weapons from you as long as you are free man, doesn't speak well for the courts. Seems they are willing to just make stuff up.
