Forget impeachment. Tee up prosecution.
Washington Post ^ | June 6, 2019 | Jennifer Rubin

Posted on 06/06/2019 2:45:30 PM PDT by detective

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has surmised that polls showing overwhelming opposition to President Trump’s impeachment may reflect a misunderstanding as to what “impeachment” means. At her weekly press conference on June 5, she said: “Do you know that most people think impeachment means you’re out of office? Did you ever get that feeling or are you just in the bubble here? They think if you get impeached, you’re gone, and that is completely not true.”

In fact we’ve never removed a president after impeachment and trial in the Senate. Although Richard M. Nixon resigned before a full House vote, the case laid out by the Senate Watergate hearings and then by the House Judiciary Committee was so powerful that Nixon’s guilt was definitively established, and Nixon resigned before the Senate could convict him. In doing so, Congress reaffirmed red lines — obstruction of justice, defiance of subpoenas — upholding our democratic and constitutional norms.

The Washington Post and the rest of the media want President Trump in prison. They want him destroyed. They want to make an example of him and teach the American people never to vote against the corrupt Washington establishment ever again.

President Trump is helping Israel and is respectful to American Christians.

That makes him the enemy of the spirit of antichrist.

These people are rabid wolves.

Pray for President Trump.

Well her boy Swallowell tweeted yesterday that he would be the only candidate who would “try” the President in impeachment. So he obviously flunked high school civics too.

He must mean he will be one of the House Managers acting as prosecutors in the Senate.

Absolutely spot on!

This is nothing short of an all out political war.

Right, cause apparent disagreement with leftist tyrant scum can only spring from either ignorance or stupidity. Thank God SF Nan is on the case to tell us what words mean! (and help us find out what's in bills she's pushing)

I guess America isn’t entitled to an HONEST President. It screws up the whole corrupted system.

My favorite Oliver North quote was that he read both the Holy Bible and the Washington Post every day so he could tell what both sides were thinking.

“They want him destroyed.”

What does the right want? To be comedians? I see lots of failed and foolish attempts.

Totalitarianism edges closer.. there must be a meme!

This country will get what it deserves. No fight - No excuses.

My favorite Patton quote was when reporters asked the General if he read the bible on his night stand:

“Every god damned day!”

The election of President Trump cost a lot of people a lot of money. How? From kickbacks, bribes, payoffs, and shakedowns from other Countries for all types of illegal and immoral activities they would had gotten had Hillary [as planned] been elected President. For this, someone must pay.
