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.”

The Deep State wants Civil War II.

They think they want civil war......

That sometimes happens but all too often it doesn’t. Mclame being a prime example.

I never said for Trump to stop twitter.. just don’t complain when not doing anything about his complaints. I, as a citizen, do not have much to fix things ... but the President of the United States has been given great power. With all that power and ways to do ... with all his lawyers... to complain on twitter sounds like someone who is ‘woe is me’..

Use twitter as much as he likes, but don’t talk about things that make him sound weak and can’t do squat. Use those one liners in a positive manner that puts the left on the defense... words make impressions... use them wisely.

Follow Trump..listen to him.. watch him.. know him as well as a person can... and you end up with an impression of who the man is. Different ears hear same words differently.. and the dems are sometimes hearing a downer and it eggs them on.

You can disagree with me.. and I was not jumping you on anything... but I am right about the complaints and negatives that Trump should not be tweeting about.. or talking that way either. Go after them... use that fight I saw in him the first day.. and why I voted for him. I wanted someone to fight for us for a long time.

GW abandoned us out here and let obama lie for 8 years. I saw Trump as the opposite... I don’t see that right now.. he’s doing a lot, but he’s being bush whacked every day and I hate it! He’s not fighting back yet.. I sure hope he has something in mind that we have not heard yet. I am sick to see what the left has become... it’s from the adoration of the past president who did not deserve anything but jail... every time he got before the cameras he gave permission to be angry and hate this country.. his adorers then took it out on Trump who is trying to fix things and sometimes he is not helping himself... Women have a better instinct as to how to say it and what to say... Kelly Ann could advise him? or Melania? But surely there men who could point it out to him.. I’ve heard Newt and he could be an adviser..

The Deep State wants Civil War II.

Proof that the Deep State lives in an echo chamber with no functional connection to reality.

The day the Good Men get fed up with tolerating the existence of The Deep State, everyone even vaguely connected to it dies.

All the Feds, leftists and all those union thugs masquerading as LEOs can’t even hope to stop the slaughter once the rage breaks.

Congress damn well needs a reason and evidence of ‘’high crimes and misdemeanors’’. Nixon was a crook and his attempts at covering up were worse than the break in. Clinton did have sex with ‘’that woman’’. The blue dress proved it.

[Okeydoker]

Couldnt agree more. If ole jeff sessions doesnt wake up and start doing what we elected trump to do he needs to resign so that someone can.

[frnewsjunkie]

You read it that way and I didn’t. but it’s good to see it can be translated into a positive threat.

How do you reckon the dems read it?

[frnewsjunkie]

I put quotes around it, which means it’s my word..

[FreeReign]

Even talking about this or thinking about this is a waist of time. Mark Sanford would probably vote for it. That would mean 24 other Republicans would have to vote for impeachment to make it happen. Can anyone name one other who would vote for impeachment? The Republican know they would be turned out of office for voting impeachment where the “high crime and misdemeanor” was Trump’s exercising his Constitutional powers. I doubt if more than 180 Democrats would vote for a flimsy bill of impeachment.

Yup. 230 CD's voted for Trump. 205 CD's voted for Clinton.

Twitter, however he chooses to use it, is one of his few effective weapons.

Hardly anyone is defending Trump. Why hasn’t he called on his staff to “circle the wagons” and make strong public statements and do interviews with the hostile media? It seems no one is even trying to help him. Let him continue to use Twitter any way he wants to. It is unfiltered and provides direct communication with the people.

Lawyers didn’t get Trump elected President. Twitter, and his willingness to use it frequently, made him President. Why not continue to use it at every opportunity? It drives the left nuts. And I like that!

[9YearLurker]

I don’t know about Pence. He seems to be in on it.

[boycott]

These have been the Left’s strategy points since the day after Trump was elected.

Trump is our leader. He won’t go peacefully. And neither will we.

[Blue Highway]

Well what do you suggest in the aim of a solution.

[FreeReign]

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.

Six honest Republicans were targeted for assassination by Hodgkinson...or was that note in the pocket of the assassin planted by the Deep State to scare any honest Republicans.

[duckman]

That’s the one. In my opinion NOTHING will happen to any of the people you have mentioned. I would like to see just one of them in cuffs and an orange jump suit. It would restore my confidence, just a little, in the Justice system

Every chance I get, I do that. In fact, I met a guy that was a little younger than me at the doctor's office last week. We were conversing and he made the remark of how things were messed up in Washington and finished his statement with,”At one time being a Democrat meant something”. I responded with,”Yes sir it did, and does, It means that you hate God. It means that you love murdering unborn babies in their mother's womb. It means that you are for protecting the guilty[against capital punishment. And are for punishing the innocent, abortion, and essentially hate America.” He then went on trying ti extol the virtues of Bill Clinton. I responded with: The mess in North Korea and other places we are in is because Bill sold our secrets and technology to the Chinese who in turn either sold or gave away to our enemies. This he agreed on. That ended the conversation because at that time the nurse came to take me to the holding cell [examining room].

I reiterate... Use twitter... just don’t complain. Don’t whine .. with all the power of the President, use it!

Words send a message even though it was not intended.

I read for writers and tell them what they said in a paragraph.. did they aim to say that? Usually they didn’t recognize it said what I “heard”.. and after they saw it, they usually agreed.

Trump should give positive and strong words in his twitter. Sometimes it’ whining...

I never said to not use it... just use it wisely and it would help him get the message out that would work for him.

[Nifster]

They will say that by firing he was obstructing justice

You really aren’t paying attention

[Blue Highway]

Come to think of it, where has KellyAnne gone to? Haven’t heard a peep from her in a while.

[Always A Marine]

Nothing else has succeeded against Trump for the past two years. What makes them think the next scheme will succeed? Batter up!
