Trump impeachment countdown is on
The Boston Herald ^ | December 18, 2018 | Joe Battenfeld

The impeachment countdown is on. Democrats are lurching inexorably toward trying to dump President Trump, even if they won’t admit it now.

Conventional wisdom says that the Dems, who are about to take over the U.S. House, are proceeding cautiously, and will be reluctant to launch into impeachment proceedings. Nancy Pelosi is trying her best to restrain herself.

Don’t believe it.

Democrats would like nothing better than to oust Trump. If Robert Mueller provides them with the ammo, the party won’t be able to resist. Left-leaning voters are pressuring lawmakers to act, thinking about the months long torture that impeachment will inflict on the president.

Who is the most popular Democrat in the country? You could argue it’s Beto O’Rourke, the failed Texas Senate candidate and current White House wannabe celeb....

Of course they're gonna impeach DJT.

Why? Because they can!

On what grounds? What "high crime" or "misdemeanor" has he committed? He carried FL,NC,PA,OH,MI,IN,WI,IA and the 2nd Congressional District of Maine.Crimes don't get much "higher" than that at Rat Party Headquarters.

Problem is the stock market right now. The stock market is no longer the playground of the rich, lots of people rely on it for retirement now that pensions are extinct. With the markets tanking, interest rates continue to being raised (Wednesday is the day this week) I have been seeing there’s many people beginning to turn on Trump. Is it being manipulated? Don’t know but it sure seems strange when the economic news is positive. Something stinks. Rush mentions this on his programs that it’s another way of taking him out. People will crash the market they are so desperate to remove him. I am wondering when this theory will catch on.

"Once the Democrats start that, release the full FISA report, unredacted and all information on the JFK assassination, also completely unredacted."

Nope, it's too late for that now. Doing those things after impeachment has started will look like obstruction.

Time to use the hammer only lasts so long. You can't play nice with these people for even one second otherwise you lose the chance to play hardball.

I don't know why the President did not release the FISA documents. Why did he wait so long to fire Sessions? Why does Rosenstein still have a job? Why are Hillary and Comey not facing prosecution? The President must have had a reason but these are the things the HAD TO HAPPEN to save this nation.

I hope I'm wrong but I believe it's too late.

Trump will be convicted and removed.

That's when the shooting begins. Any Dem who doesn't take steps to increase their personal security, or drop out of site will be a target for the lunatic fringe of the Trump supporters. And there are lots of them. It could be the match that sets the tinder alight. Weirder things have happened.

If the Left/Democrats dare go after Donald Trump -- and I think they will because they simply cannot help themselves and they have an insane, out-of-control base to appease -- they will regret it.

Donald Trump is clearly a streetfighter of extraordinay skill and will fearessly and effectively crush them ... hopefully without mercy.

I’m stunned that Freepers seem to have given up and sound so forlorn.

Trump is not the kind of man to roll over and let these evil POS destroy him and take the country over.

He has a plan.

Bank on it.

He will fight this and he will expose whomever he needs to expose to destroy their hate-based attacks against him.

******

My fellow Freepers, if you must wine and dine with liberals and leftists this holiday season, give them hell. Do not smile and play nice with these Stalinists with sympathetically knitted brows.

Make them as miserable as they have tried to make us.

Bullshit! The Democrats are foaming at the mouth to impeach President trump. The only question is how long will they be in session before a motion to impeach is made.

They will do it. Tonight fake news report and the inevitable Mueller report to follow will clear the decks for impeachment. Its just a matter of time.

Without a doubt, bet on it.

muller is waiting for the democrats to be firmly ensconced in their seats in the house, and then he will release what he has been dying to release — something that they can impeach Trump on.

First week of January. From then on, it will be non-stop talk of impeachment all over the media.

The privileged government class will not allow their permanent position as our rulers-for-life to be threatened in any way.

However, they’ve shown us clearly that electing a president that challenges them will not succeed in removing from permanent control. It will take much more serious action to remove them than merely electing office holders.
