Harvard's Tribe on CNN: To impeach Trump, 'you have to shoot to kill'
The Hill ^ | 05/22/18 | Joe Concha

Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe cautioned Democrats who are looking to impeach President Trump if the party takes back the House of Representatives, telling CNN on Tuesday, "If you’re going to shoot him, you have to shoot to kill" with "overwhelming" bipartisan support on an impeachment vote.

Tribe, a staunch critic of the president going back to his candidacy, appeared on CNN's "New Day" to discuss his new book, "To End a Presidency: The Power of Impeachment."

Isn’t there a law against making threats like that?

And, because of his “stature”, nobody is knocking on his door?

Only when a Republican like Sarah Palin uses a map with location identifiers — that’s a threat. “Shoot to kill” with reference to Trump? No big deal!

OMG! I’m stunned.

Imagine if Sarah Palin had said this back in 2008.

Trump has really made the enemy show themselves.

rather unfortunate choice of words. He’s generally right though. Impeachment is insane without overwhelming evidence of guilt. And no one knows what Mueller has, so it’s all just wankery until his report comes out.

LIB losers are pathetic in their desperation. Their failed ideas and their being lunatics doesn’t help their putrid cause.

"If you’re going to shoot him, you have to shoot to kill"

Straight for the heart
And Tribe's to blame.
He gives law
A bad name.

The original quote goes something like this: When you set out to overthrow the King, you must ensure that you kill him. Make no doubt of the goal of the Democrats, they want to overthrow the legitimate and Constitutionally elected President of the United States. All because he was not their choice and they cannot accept to decision of the voters and the States.

The arrogance of this gang of criminals is beyond belief. They are boldly publishing their plan to commit treason against our government and to do so with the resources and infrastructure of that government. They think that we are in Bananastan.

Sounds like a threat—Can’t get Trump out with a hoax Russia Probe—Try a bullet. Trump better watch out—Its him or them. They are desperate now and like a cornered rat—they will fight with a savage fury.

A veritable "dog whistle" to prompt violence against the President, from anyone who is listening. This so-called professor needs to be arrested for inciting violence against a sitting President.

How about a bit of word-smithing, like the media does:

Harvard’s Tribe on CNN: “you have to shoot to kill (Trump)”

'unfortunate' ... Tribe knew exactly what he was saying... liberals are 'free' to speak their minds.
