Andrew McCarthy: Trump has committed an impeachable offense
Fox News ^ | Jan 10, 2021 | By Andrew McCarthy | National Review

Posted on 01/10/2021 12:46:05 PM PST by conservative98

I took a beating on Twitter Thursday night for making what I thought was a commonsense observation that President Trump should be negotiating favorable terms for resignation "if there are 20 GOP senators who’d vote to impeach."

In our current climate, this was taken as a call for Trump’s impeachment. But it wasn’t a value judgment. It was a mathematical calculation.

As it happens, I do think the president has committed an impeachable offense, making a reckless speech that incited a throng on the mall, which foreseeably included an insurrectionist mob.

These rioters ended up overwhelming security forces and storming the Capitol. They shut down a solemn constitutional proceeding, endangering the lives of the vice president and the people’s representatives. They ripped through the facility, causing not only significant property damage but grave injuries.

I can literally see the fear in the eyes of some of the republican talking heads lately. I was watching Maria B this morning and Rubio looked nervous....even scared.


The Dems are going to arrest Trump. Nobody wants to say what that means for the country (it will burn) because that means supporting Trump now. The GOPe has gone this far not supporting Trump against the coup. They’re not going to start now.

So disappointing that he has said this. Another one bites the dust that I once had respect for.

McCarthy simply made a calculated decision. Attack Trump and keep your job, support him and be fired. Right or wrong no longer mean anything in public life. Survival is all that counts.

This guy just sucks. All the time. As shown a year ago, anything is an impeachable offense to Pelosi and the scumbag rats, even an ordinary phone call.

This was set up for the usual democrat tactic of deflecting attention away from their crime. Now they are not talking about the fraud election. GOP is in on it also.

is this the “reckless speech.”

www.c-span.org/video/?507744-1/rally-electoral-college-vote-certification at which this occurred. I can’t find it.

Go to 2:19:10 - 2:24:50 for Rudy Guilliani.

Go to 2:24:50 - 2:27:30 for Prof. John Eastman.

Go to 3:31:20 - 4:42:45 for President Trump

— at 3:47:40 Trump says: “I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol Building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard.”

— at 4:03 he begins to discuss the details about the illegal nature of the election for a few minutes

Either he is a traitor, or a Low Information Congressperson. I tend to compare him to SCOTUS Chief Justice Roberts. Both corrupt and ignorant... of the truth. I would add to that ignorance of the devastating ramifications his ill thought out comments will have.

Hey Andy, there’s a timeline that proves Trump’s speech had nothing to do with the Antifa-led attack.

President Trump needs to immediately pardon anyone and everyone on his list including his family and himself.He then needs to immediately release all the information on the criminal activity of Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton and Barrack Hussein Obozo. Finally he needs to issue a call to his army of supporters to swarm the cesspool known as Washington DC .Last Wednesday was just a dry run, a shot across the bow.President Trump needs the backing of all of us.God bless you President Trump.We stand behind you 100%

I guess front gunner McCarthy doesnt know that President Trump was still speaking when the Capital police started opening up the doors/barricades.

Thanks for posting.
