Dem: Congress will begin impeachment if Trump fires Mueller, Rosenstein

Posted on 06/17/2017 7:25:59 AM PDT by ColdOne

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.”

He puts down the twitter feed they would cheer it as a win. Never give in to them, they will never stop.

I sure do agree with you on this! I heard Newt say he didn’t understand why either. Mystified as to the power Trump has and not using it.

I also have been wanting anyone and everyone who is on talk radio or tv, and the left is attacking Trump... Bring in hillary and all the rest.. it’s unfinished business.. and the dems don’t want it brought up.. don’t want the public reminded.... and just maybe it would have shut them up a long time ago if they knew every time they blasted Trump, hillary’s past and present would be brought up... and all the rest of the corrupt bunch!... repeated often enough and the “half here” public would begin to repeat it too..

As long as this has been going on, it would still help if they brought to mind bill on the tarmac with loretta, hillary selling parts of the US for money... and benghazi... and her association with russia .. plus all the other countries she took money from with the promise of favors when she became president.. plus the server open to hacking.... and her delightful personality that put a sailor to shame... and her attitude toward those servants who had to work for her... and back to Arkansas, there is even more dirt that the media won’t touch...

That is what angers me the most.. it’s political and they all know it.. but won’t call it what it is. Every news person knows it’s all a lie to take out our President.. but they report it as something bad they are protecting us from once they impeach him. As Lou Dobbs said, the prosecutor can’t prosecute because he is the criminal in ht matter.

Let all of us Honorable people who work for a living and abide by the law prepare to protect Trump and those who think and act like us. I have 31 proven physical attacks on people who voted for Trump. Enough is enough. If our government cannot protect us and the ones we voted for it is time to arm ourselves and prepare to stand and fight these worthless Bozos who always speak of rights that they make up as they go along. I was a Police Officer for over 30 years and I took things from these type people that I would have been willing to prosecute those I love for. We have turned the other cheek for much to long and we have our representatives that declare crime,evil and many atrocities acceptable to the worthless in America. If it is a violation of the law it should be to all. I know for a fact there is corruption in a lot of government run entities and have seen a lot of it. At my age I know my days are numbered and I damn well care for those I love and those who believe like me. Honestly I have lost faith in what my government can do and doesnt and almost daily I see corruption in the daily news by government employees that appears no one can fire. I know there has to be millions of older folks like myself that want to leave our loved ones in decent shape and protected but yet there are only a few like Trump in politics. I do not advocate violence but the left has promoted such at will. It is time to stand or surrender to Evil.

Let’s hope that trump is smart enough to find a trusted second in command without having to resort to the usual D.C. Presidential practice of appointing a bona fide illage idiot to the VP slot.

It’s another CW trigger. The idea is to goad conservatives into attacking the government on a large scale. Think of it as the BLM attacking the ranchers. The Dems, rinos and their deep state masters want a tipping point.

Maybe they are waiting for the optimal timing which would be to maximize damage to liberals during the 2018 elections(?)

They have at least 4 more votes. McCain, Collins, Flake, Graham. They do not care if they lose both houses. They listen to their moneymasters. They would prefer to be in the minority that way they can go back to the act of we tried but we didn’t have the votes routine.

The death of an elected legislator triggers a special election in their District or State. I think some states allow gubernatorial appointments...maybe for Senators? (don’t know this for sure)

The Dems have so far this year not won a single Special Election. The information I’ve seen on GA this month has been all over the map. Districting math for 2018 favors the GOP.

The assassination attempts are designed to put fear into all R legislators. I think they will backfire on the donks. If not, we get the 3rd world country the left desires.

He can’t fire BO era federal judges.
He can fire all the BO era FedGov presidential appointees, why he has not done so I have no idea.

Congress is going to “begin impeachment” no matter what Trump does or doesn’t do.

The question is, what new second party is going to come out of this horror show, will It win a House majority in 2018, and will the military get involved?

“Congress”, by pulling on this string, has no concept of what forces are going to be unleashed.

Amen!

I grew up in a neighborhood and in a time, when we didn’t have to be afraid.. when we had a government that was half way dependable. No one burned or walked on our flag. No one took a knee in sports. Society did not allow what we see and hear today.

I have small grandchildren who have no idea what the world is like out there... and do we have to tell them one day, how bad it is? My 5 yr old grandson is the sweetest and kindest little man I know. He will go out into a world that does not treat him likewise... He will not have the life I had growing up.. at the present state, he has no idea what awaits him. After seeing my 5 kids go out into the world, it’s now grandchildren... and we can see how much has changed. It’s hard for me to let society continue to disintegrate when that little boy will live in it.... I can see how much has changed from my childhood, then my children’s and now grandchildren. It has gotten so much worse.. so much worse...

The talk I see them spew out as if it’s okay.. unbelievable in my lifetime!! I have suggested before that we need to change what is done/allowed/spoken with the name of political correctness... free speech.. It isn’t free speech to these old ears when they threaten to kill my President or to hope someone else does from their words. It’s time to make it unlawful to do such anywhere and certainly not on TV or public! It should not be allowed to threaten our officials (police included).. where and when did this become free speech!!!!!!! that nose came under the tent and grew into acceptance of such by everyone... except me!

Fine any network that allows such talk.. I find it so offensive .. where did they get the idea they can do that.. and when did society accept it?! Where did our fight go?.. when did we acquiesce in this?

If you ask me, Trump’s tweets may be a key reason why they don’t have his head already.

The reason his tweets are a problem for the usual suspects is that they change the narrative; and if the usual suspects need anything at all (to stay out of jail), it’s control of narrative. Hence the extreme hysteria - they’re losing control, they hate it, they’re lashing out.

“The GOPe will be right up there with them starting impeachment, they all will at some point.
Good. Smoke ‘em out. Primary their sorry asses”.

Every election it’s “Primary their asses”, and every election we get the same results....the game is fixed. The Globalist corporations own the board. We are not going to Vote our way out of this.

MSM who got GWB down to the low 30’s and no 2nd term.
_______________________

“The presidency of George W. Bush began on January 20, 2001 at noon Eastern Standard Time, when George W. Bush was inaugurated as President of the United States, and ended on January 20, 2009...”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presidency_of_George_W._Bush

It took them nearly two full terms to get his numbers down and the main reason was because he didn’t fight back. The other reasons had to do with being conciliatory.

Trump is fighting back AND he is fulfilling campaign promises on a political battlefield with immense force arrayed against him.

Twitter is important. It mutes the MSM narrative. It connects with the voters. It is crafted as weaponry and strategic distraction and it keeps working.

You are demanding he enter the arena in a death match against a phalanx of armed opponents, unarmed and with one hand tied behind his back.

Have you read some of the reports from those who have gotten out of the “world order group”? It’s unbelievable! They have gotten so far .. obama was one they could depend on for leeway and power.... then along came Trump from us conservatives who wanted obama stopped. They were that close... and the fury we see can be traced back to that.

Ki&&inger is a strong one in that group. They are not nice people either.. just in case ya’ didn’t know.

I agree. Let them go for impeachment. They’re going to do it anyway.

Embrace the fight. Avoid the temptation of thinking they’ll eventually quit this coup attempt...they won’t.

The war is here, now. But it’s not being fought entirely where they think it is.

I think Republicans need to initiate investigations in Clinton Foundation, email probe, her Russian connections, sale of Uranium, deals made while Sec of State.

Threaten to open the entire can of worms on Hillary and others- perhaps then they will back off.

But I know the sissy Repubs will not push back.

I wonder where Rudi is- not a word or TV interview. Pretty quiet.

I don’t think Sessions has anything of Comey’s- he probably kept everything off-site, nothing at the office.

POTUS is just giving them rope. In the end his enemies, Comey. Mueller et al, will end up proving that POTUS did nothing wrong! Brilliant.
