House Democrats claimed Friday afternoon in President Donald Trump’s Senate trial that his comments on Twitter, in press conferences, and at campaign rallies criticizing the impeachment inquiry were impeachable “obstruction.”
Rep. Sylvia Garcia (D-TX), opened the impeachment managers’ case on the second article of impeachment, for “obstruction of Congress,” noting that the president had told reporters that “there should be a way of stopping it, maybe legally, through the courts.”
She played a clip of him saying that, then continued:
Soon after, President Trump took the matters into his own hands. The president used his authority, and his office, to wage a relentless and misleading public campaign to attack the impeachment inquiry. The president spent time at rallies, at press conferences, and on Twitter, trying to persuade the American people that the House’s inquiry was invalid and fraudulent. Here are just a few of the President Trump’s comments about the impeachment inquiry. He called it a “witch hunt”; a “coup”; an “unconstitutional power grab”; a “fraud against the American people.” He said, “It’s the phony impeachment scam”; “the phony impeachment hoax”; “the Ukraine hoax”; and “a continuation of the greatest scam and witch hunt in the history of our country.” And those are probably some of the ones I can repeat here. And it didn’t stop.

P
Impeach Trump for claiming the right to defend himself. How dare he!
That’s how you know the Soviet State has arrived.
Let’s just say there’s enough filthy traitors in the Senate that they get enough votes to convict/remove.
Could Trump run for president again 2020?
No. Once disqualified, he couldn’t run for federal office again. Democrats are anti-democratic, but that’s just the way they like it:
Something tells me that the Republican lawyers are loaded for bear.
The fun may finally be about to occur.
Oh, no! The twitter police!
And don’t forget in the background, the Durham probe is waiting to drop ... and when it does, the narrative changes 180
Dems better get in their chops while they can
Odd... they didn't feel that way about Slick Willy screaming from the roof tops in 1998-9. (I've got to write you a PM.)
Every single baseless charge is impeach because “we hate Trump”, they just can’t come out and say it directly.
Babylon Bee?
Sadly true! The past few years the Dems have practiced a frightening form of justice - Justice Kavanaugh, Jussie Smollett, Prez Trump ('he must prove his innocence'; complaining about lack of due process and proclaiming one's innocence is obstruction of justice.)
A pox on the Dems. God save the Republic!
So? (These people are end stage TDS.)
The butthurt flowing from the ‘rats is approaching the level where it can no longer be measured with existing technology.
It’s time for these useless tw4ts to fck right off.
