Rep. Ted Lieu: If Trump fired Rosenstein and Mueller, "I believe Congress would begin impeachment proceedings." https://t.co/lqJ0JTg1l6 — Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) June 17, 2017

Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) said Friday that Congress would come together and “begin impeachment proceedings” against President Trump if he fired special counsel Robert Mueller and Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

“All Americans, regardless of party, agree on the fundamental principle that no one is above the law,” Lieu said on MSNBC. “And if President Trump were to fire Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein, and then [get] special counsel Mueller fired, I believe Congress would begin impeachment proceedings.”

Here’s a thought re: The Upcoming Mid Term Elections - gives Pres. T the lever he can use against the Never-Trumpers on BOTH sides of congress.

Fire the all the guys involved in the witch hunt and prepare for the fallout .... which will probably be impeachment by Congress. The Congress Never-Trumpers will unite against him and that gives Pres. T the reason to go and personally campaign against each one of the them, especially the Republican ones. He can go to each of their states and do what he does best, persuade the voters to ignore party lines and vote for the congressman that will stand with him.

Might work to rid the congress of the swamp critters.

It hearings to impeach President Trump were opened Monday, the Congressional Republicans would be there with bells on.

However, that is not important, because they will do as they please and at the moment it pleases them to impeach President Trump. The important to extremely important question that remains to be answered is what we [collectively] will do. Will we remain docile with our tails tucked between our legs like whipped puppies? Or will we put our foot down, rise with one accord and say, Enough is enough, and put a stop and end to it?

That is the question. What they intend to do is no mystery. The mystery is what we are going to do?

“Can anyone name one other who would vote for impeachment?”
___________________________________________________________

Seriously? Those dirtbags Ben sASSe, Linda Graham, Susan Collins, Juan McCain, Jeff the Flake, amongst others, would be happy to “reach across the aisle” and join their RAT “friends.”

It doesn’t bring them to the “24” magic number, but I wouldn’t trust those snakes I mentioned as far as I could throw them.

Yeah. Or if he farts. This week has seen a Leftist nut bag attempted to kill a Republican Congressman and the Lame Stream is trying that nauseating tripe about ‘’we all have to stop the hateful rhetoric’’. BS! The Left started this and I have been saying here more months the violence of Occupy/BLM/Antfia was going to bring this about. It is WAY past time these groups were tried under the RICO statues . This crap has got to STOP!!

——*Why is that Hillary Clintons family and Dems dealings with Russia are not looked at, but my non-dealings are?*——

The statement is foreshadowing, a premonition of what is to come. A few words to strike terror and create panic. There is no cabash, but rather strategic timing.

Remember, the Sessions nomination was delayed. That fact is likely involved. But, I am certain that there are very secret actions in progress that when revealed as offensive action will cause all hell to break lose.

Everybody knows it. The hope is that the current attacks will destroy Trump before he reacts.

The tweet in question is a forewarning

Count on it. Unfortunately the D.C. Political class has enough votes to get rid of him

Eisenstein should tell Mueller to recuse himself or resign. Then rosendtein should recuse himself. Then let the number three who is pretty conservative oversee any investigation

Trump needs to ignore all of this and start hard driving his agenda

If it is a Democrat , they do. However, in their view, President Trump [how I like to write those words] does not even have the right to use the restroom, or breathe. Anything he does will be wrong. Every thing he does not do will be wrong. The Democrats feeling that way, I can understand. The Republicans having those feelings, I can’t understand.

Every time I see this graphic posted on here I cringe at how much of a pussy whipped weasel Mueller is. And to think Bush was stupid enough to appoint him in the first place...

The congress doesn’t need a reason. They can drum up whatever they want. Did you forget Watergate? Or the spineless effort against Clinton

The GOPe will be right up there with them starting impeachment, they all will at some point.

No, they won't. There's absolutely no political will for impeachment, except among the most strident Democrats and NeverTrumpers. That isn't enough to do jack sh!t. It would be political suicide.

You'd see loyal Trump supporters—such as myself and millions of others—put an end to such masturbatory Leftist fantasies, if they were to be attempted.

So it's time for Democrats—and those wishing to indulge their NeverTrump impulses—to calm the f--k down and bid a fond farewell their whimsical wet dreams.

As usual, rumors of President Trump's demise have been greatly exaggerated...

In politics, public approval is political capital, and coin of the realm. Even the approach to begin the process of impeachment would scorch any politician who makes the attempt. So long as the president continues to implement the will of the American people, he is untouchable.
In my view, he needs to fire Mueller NOW, in the wake of the vile Hodgkinson. Despite all the yelling and screaming, he can do it, but he can’t wait much longer.
Even so, I’m certain that just like Ronaldus Maximus, he will serve two terms, and leave office with very high approval numbers.

Exactly. The establishment Dems and Pubbies (swamp critters) don't want the swamp drained.

Honest Pubbies with a back bone would not be going along with these investigative charades - they would be demanding a grand jury for the Crimes committed by the prior Administration.

And why is it that so many are concerned with Russia all of a sudden? We know for a fact that Russia, China, and Israel all got access to classified data through Clinton's illegal unsecured data. Is China our bosom buddy? Hasn't China said that the American Century is over, and it's time for China to lead this century?

Why is there zero concern about the data that was leaked, and the wrongdoing that those leaks revealed?

Russia supplies Europe with a great deal of fuel. Could that be part of this? Didn't the Saudi’s want to build a pipeline through Syria? Aren't there some large corporations wanting to sell supplies to Europe that have begun shipping some sort of fuel through Texas ports to Europe?

Seems like I read that somewhere or other. Could this be part of the Russia hysteria? Clearly, Clinton and Podesta were playing ball with Russia. How else did they get 20% of that Uranium deal?

Why would Russia want to get rid of Clinton when she was so willing to be convinced with donations to the Global Fund?

When the gimme dats outnumber the working class, and the majority votes for the swamp critter that promises the most goodies, the result is that the country collapses over irresponsible fiscal policy.

In the history of the world, such has been the fate of Empires and in general there is lots of debauchery to go with it. This is followed by dictatorship.

Per Alexander Tyler, this is the sequence: From bondage to spiritual faith, from spiritual faith to great courage, from courage to abundance, from abundance to complacency, from complacency to apathy, from apathy to dependence, from dependence back again into bondage.

Where is the USA currently-in this sequence? Unless things change, we are closer to bondage than I would like. Pray for the USA. Pray for restoration of our Nation's faith, and pray that the swamp critters are replaced with people of great courage and faith. Pray to God to be delivered from evil that is running rampant throughout our country.

And write your congress critter to tell them you are mad as all get out and they better stop with all this crap and get down to working with our President to MAGA. Flood their office with phone calls, with such volume that the system can't even handle it.

Infiltrate those safe districts, and run honest people against the swamp critters in the primary. Get out there and run for committee chair-take back your party from the swamp critters/establishment by becoming the reformers of the establishment.

Committee Chairs get to vote for the party leadership. What has been the Dems strategy? Top down and bottom up. That has to be met by honest people not just at the top, but from the bottom up.

Maybe even send a few spies into the belly of the beast. Get an honest person to register as a Dem Committee Chair, take notes, and figure out how to take them down. There is an unholy alliance between communists and other dissident groups being stoked to try to destroy this country from within.

The establishment funded by International Corporations has followed policies that have weakened the USA, shipped our manufacturing base overseas, and enriched our enemies. Every dime we spend on Chinese products finances improvements to their military.

It's insanity or Treason and in some cases, maybe both.
