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.”

It is almost if not impossible because once they get elected and find where the money is no conservative can compete and the Party always backs the incumbent. America may have to have another Revolution and start over but I do not think we could handle it.

The goal of all this Trump-Russia-etch stuff is as you said to disrupt, slow his (Our!) agenda. However don’t forget it keeps the prosecution of the Hillary-Slick-Clinton Foundation-Obama axis from happening. Any action taken to investigate/prosecute will look like obstruction/revenge to the “low-info/Non-cognitive” section of the voting demographics.

The order is:

President
Vice President
Speaker of the House
President pro tempore of the Senate
Secretary of State
Secretary of Treasury,etc.

I will have you note that NO WHERE on that list is the candidate from the opposing party that LOST in the last election allowed. I swear that Snowflakes think that is how the succession goes. They want do overs.

Mr. Trump is being stymied. He can’t get funding for the wall, his signature promise, from the Repugnants in congress so he might as well punch them all in the face(figuratively).

Why do you find it necessary to swear?

No I do not hope Trump gets impeached. In fact I call all on all true patriots to support our president. Let’s demand his agenda be passed and get this country going again.

I also understand the DC political class and how entrenched they are and how evil

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...

President Trump's tweets don't change the narrative for the better, and therein lies the problem.

Have you or anyone else who's responded to my post noticed that when President Trump puts the twitter box down and does what he says he was going to do, his poll ratings actually go UP?

See Rasmussen today? President Trump is sitting at 50% approval for the first time since shortly after he took office. That's a big win, and it ought to tell him something about acting and letting his actions speak for him.

The thing the Dummycrats and the Lying Liberal Lamestream Media fear most, is a President Trump with an approval rating over 50%. They laugh at his tweets.

It's pretty damn' hard to impeach, convict and remove a President who's over 50% approval rating - ask Slick Willie and the Republican Controlled Senate in 1998 about that.

I agree - and some probably do think they want civil war - I believe they will regret it if they get it.

It may very well have been a message to scare them. IIRC, the majority whip had just made a statement regarding a bill introduced to stop human trafficking.
