Himes: Trump’s Abuse of Power, Corruption ‘Makes the Nixon Impeachment Look like Child’s Play’
Breitbart ^ | 11/12/2019 | Pam Key

Posted on 11/12/2019 6:13:15 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) said President Donald Trump’s abuses of power made former President Richard Nixon’s impeachment “look like child’s play.”

Himes said, “We are looking at abuse of power and a level of corruption here that makes the Nixon impeachment look like child’s play. Remember, Nixon wasn’t the guy who actually broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters. He just knew about it. Nobody died in Ukraine because Nixon held up aid to a very vulnerable nation. Nixon didn’t fire any ambassadors because Giuliani didn’t like that ambassador.”

I firmly believe this impeachment crap is to blunt the coming indictment for Democrat crimes

"Himes said, “We are looking at abuse of power and a level of corruption here that makes the Nixon impeachment look like child’s play."

The Marxists and Socialists that make up the Democrat party these days keep blathering on about how Orange Man Bad Blumpf! I can't however keep from noticing that they never get around to specifying exactly what he is supposed to have done wrong. Funny how that works eh. You would have thought with this much investigating they would have been able to pin something on Mother Theresa by now let alone Donald Trump.

That is exactly what all this is for, their nutcase base.

And to throw shade on the upcoming FISA report and indictments, which will be portrayed as ‘revenge’ and ‘politically motivated’, and therefore illegal and not worth reporting in the DNCMSM.................

“Oh look, he used “Nixon”, “Trump” and “impeachment” all in the same sentence.

How creative!”

The media has been looking to recreate the glory days of Watergate ever since. Every Presidential scandal since then has been *something*gate. They are going to be unbelievably butt-hurt when Trump comes through this without a scratch. They are going to absolutely plotz when he drops the hammer on the DS.

Hines’ only beef here he doesn’t like Trump’s conduct of foreign policy.

Not a crime and even if it were, it still doesn’t rise to the level of an impeachable offense.

What else do Democrats got?

How come these Commie boot-lickers never compare Trump's phony "impeachment" to Clinton's actual impeachment?

“Abuse of power”? What abuse? The President has plenipotentiary power in many facets of his office.

The power may be granted to an ambassador while representing the nation in the meeting with the top authority of another country, but it is to be used sparingly and with relative certainty that the President will support the ambassador later on. No ambassadors are involved in dealing with purely domestic matters of state.

So many stupid people have said so many stupid things about Trump, that it’s hard for the next stupid person to think of something even stupid-er to say so they get noticed by stupid people in the stupid media

Have recently met a former left wing loon that couldn’t take it anymore, and is now an adamant Trump supporter and over the last two years has come to realize the evil of the left. I wasn’t sure that these people really existed until I met this person.

Sounds like a fascinating story.

Here is the problem for the Democrat Fascists and their toadies in the Fake New Media. We will let them assume EVERYTHING is true and accurate in the “transcripts. We allow this nonsense of hearsay, feeling and assumptions to be allowed as “evidence”.

There is still no crime here. Nothing in the “transcripts” displays a crime

If Quid Pro Quo is a “Crime” Joe Biden is guilty of one while VP. Watch the video of him bragging about it.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2019/09/27/flashback_2018_joe_biden_brags_at_cfr_meeting_about_withholding_aid_to_ukraine_to_force_firing_of_prosecutor.html

The President would have a legal obligation to investigate this “crime” So if it is a crime, Trump was doing his duty, it is is NOT a crime what Biden did, neither is Trump guilty of anything.

It is either a crime or it is not. It cannot be a crime for Trump but not for Biden. If it is a crime, Trump is legally obligated to help investigate Bidens actions. .

Either way there is no legal standing to this continuing farce in the US House.

Hines must think Clinton and Biden corruption makes every other case of political corruption look like child's play. These stupid democrats like to ignore their own corruption while they make up fake corruption charges against the president. Himes should crawl back up Schitt’s ass and shut up.

Schiff is making a mockery of a real impeachment process, and it has become an exercise in parliamentary masturbation.
