Top House Democrats on Sunday raised the prospect of impeachment or almost-certain prison time for President Donald Trump if it’s proved that he directed illegal hush-money payments to women, adding to the legal pressure on the president over the Russia investigation and other scandals.

“There’s a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him, that he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, the incoming chairman of the House intelligence committee. “The bigger pardon question may come down the road as the next president has to determine whether to pardon Donald Trump.”

Rep. Jerry Nadler, the incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, described the details in prosecutors’ filings Friday in the case of Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, as evidence that Trump was “at the center of a massive fraud.”

“They would be impeachable offenses,” Nadler said. …

I don’t mind if they get Hillary for espionage.

We executed the Rosenbergs for espionage.

She was willing to sell our children into slavery and slaughter just to put some money in her purse.

This is happening because We The People refuse to do anything whatsoever about voter fraud. This is a totally illegitimate congress. We did not vote for these evil people, why are they here?

Brace yourself. I don’t even know if Trump makes it. The Democratic Party wants war. Trump may not make it. Pence or Hawley or some other brawler will get in.

Congressman can use their own secret stash of taxpayer money to pay off the women they have harassed. And they get off scott free.

Now they plan to impeach Trump, who didn't even harass the women he paid off with his own money.

Of course they wil do jail time themselves because they have their own slush fund (paid by us) to buy off their own hookers.

Adam Schiff is a grandstanding blowhard though. It’s hard to take seriously anything that comes from his worthless mouth.

They seem to have a “if he doesn’t go to jail, we will be” approach.

I have a Christmas want wish. Please, President Trump, please reveal one of the many felony charges you have against one of the congress idiots (notice I did not say man or woman) to the justice system. That would achieve two things. It would strengthen the deporables’ view of you and it would put the Dims on notice that you will fight back against their stupidity. Thank you. MAGA!!!

Wouldn't the US Senate have to agree? If the HOR does impeachment, gridlock will follow.

Which would seem foolish politically. At this point, I suspect a vast majority of voters blame Paul Ryan for the HOR not passing anything that benefits us little folk and for being a total hypocrite about a responsible budget. If the Dems squander the opportunity to pass a responsible budget and get too hateful about Trump, they'll alienate their new voters.

If one ever looks up the word “scu&bag”, one will see the pictures of the members of the Democrat Party and their constituent revolutionaries intent on undoing a legitimate presidency.

It seems that the revolution is ongoing with the objective of manufacturing whatever distorted facts are needed for impeachment, trial and the inevitable declaration of guilt.

(If they get rid of the President and Vice President, Ms Pelosi will be President, or maybe Hilary if they can finagle it.)

Democrat scu&bags, one and all.

IMHO

Trump did something illegal
Trump will be impeached
Trump will go to jail
If you tell a lie often enough people will begin to believe it.
