Rudy Giuliani: Americans Would 'Revolt' If Trump Impeached
newsmax ^ | August 23, 2018 | By Cathy Burke

Posted on 08/24/2018 7:14:44 AM PDT by Jim Robinson

Rudy Giuliani said Thursday "the American people would revolt" if President Donald Trump was impeached.

In an interview with Sky News, the president's lawyer claimed there was "no reason" for an impeachment and called Trump's former attorney, Michael Cohen, "a massive liar.”

"You could only impeach [Trump] for political reasons, and the American people would revolt against that," the former mayor of New York City told Sky News.

Cohen pleaded guilty to paying hush money to a porn actress and a Playboy model at the request of a "candidate" — whom Cohen's lawyer, Lanny Davis, said was Trump — in order to influence the election campaign.

But Giuliani said he believes Trump has been "completely cleared" by Cohen's testimony, scoffing at whether it would be inevitable the president was impeached.

"Hardly," he said. "I think it's inevitable he won't."

"You have this Cohen guy, he doesn't know anything about Russian collusion, he doesn't know anything about obstruction, he's a massive liar," he added.

You are at least two election cycles behind in thinking that political activism alone is going to change jack.

American patriots are fed up.

Impeachment proceedings is a guaranteed revolt.

Bigly.

That you don’t recognize, at this point, that your 2 scenarios are the same thing is amazing.

Certainly, he could be lying.
His selective service card and birth certificates are forgeries.
He used 042-68-4425 as his SS#, among others, and it did not belong to him.
He’s a fraud and so is everyone who went along with the fraud.
Biggest fraud in human history.

>>But as much as I admire Trump, I admire the Rule of Law more.

Politicians are political. They are not jurists. What if they legally impeach him for some vague Russia collusion where he spoke to a Russian and they put up fake FB posts? There’s your Rule of Law that you eloquently hide behind. Do you love that?

I get it. You only “lean” right. I would not assume that you are in the 3% or even in the 30% that would lend assistance later. The Revolution had more Tories than Patriots.

More than 20 million living Americans took an oath with no expiration date. I imagine many of us would react appropriately in case of a coup against our lawfully elected President of the United States.

There is no need to throw everything away for one man. I’m sorry.

Twenty years here and that is the most ridiculous comment I have ever seen.

Congratulations.

“Become a civil and civic activist. Change things. Expose and campaign against prosecutors who are political hacks.”

That worked out so well for the White Rose.

Some people, like Mr Robinson, have been in revolt for years against the government....which gave rise to the Tea Party....and the original mantra of drain the swamp. These like minded people, against daily nasty insults and vicious lies, propagated by the media, RINOS and Democrats.....continued their revolt by voting in Patriots, who would take the fight to Washington. This happened long before Trump ran for office....and most of the Congress Critters fighting against the swamp NOW, wouldn't be there without these people's work.

Trump is a continuation of that revolt against government as usual. What's extremely interesting is that it evolved, to include BOTH political parties, and Independents, to defeat Hillary Clinton. That should scare the heck out of the present idiots talking about impeachment. They won't be invalidating just Republican votes.....and it won't be just Republicans that will be furious next time they head to the ballot box.

Then you have the WalkAway movement, which shows that there are many within the Democrat party that are in revolt against the Socialist's hatred/violence....and I think that number will continue to grow, because the party didn't understand it's base still has too many true Americans, who have no desire to see our country destroyed and turned into another Venezuela.

Or maybe the Socialists do understand they jumped the gun in their long game.......and they are betting that they can get enough open borders illegals voting for them to make up the difference? Sorry, but that will only GROW the revolt against them, because even the brain dead won't appreciate having their homes/communities taken over with the likes of MS 13, etc.

The propaganda media can black out what's going on, but you only have to talk to the man on the streets or read posts online to know that America's revolt is continuing.......and growing.

If they accomplish their goal of legally impeaching Trump? It will only make what's happening now speed up. We joined their long game a little late......... but we ARE seeing positive results from our fight.

Since you chose to insult me personally via my screen name, I suppose there’s no point in continuing our conversation. And that’s a shame. Because I usually enjoy the give-and-take here on Free Republic.

In case you haven’t been paying attention, it isn’t for one man. It’s for the very existence of the Republic. Get with the program, or get out of the way.

~~~

All these people who seem so willing to talk about upheaval rarely (if ever) mention what their vision for fixing things will entail when (OR IF) they win out. Is there any plan at all for that?

... and none of that speaks to the blood soaked regret that I think most will feel (and probably quite personally) when the violence starts. They only approach the idea with arrogance and naivite. It is almost impossible to conceive of the collateral damage and un-intended consequences. I’m sure of it.

It may well be that you can do a lot of damage. You may even be a lot more organized than I know of. But I think that winning will be much more difficult than you can imagine, and the aftermath (which will take a long time) will NOT be something you clean up with a broom.... and then there is the monumental task of actually trying to do a better job than the ‘fore-fathers’ at putting in place a system that actually limits power & corruption without limiting freedom.

So I could suspend my tendency at a knee-jerk reaction of assuming people who speak of revolution don’t care about throwing the baby out with the bathwater or who gets stuck in the middle, but it certainly SEEMS that (like the radicals on the left) the revolutionaries on the right really just fantasize about how to blow up it all up and have no real genuine plan about how to make that happen the way they think it should, or in a way that wont leave our formerly sovereign soil covered by size 7 boots made in the sweat shops of Shanghai Provence with UN logos on them.
In fact, it would posit that from the outside, the left seem to be very well funded (a lot of it from foreign sources I suspect) and very well organized, and the chaos they start (and may have not started) is an actual means to an ends, politically. I’m not reading that from the right. Just a kind of blood lust.

So no, I have no intention of ‘standing in the way’. When radicals of any side start sh1t, I have no intention of getting into the fray. I am posting on a political board about political topics that should (perhaps I am a naive optimist in this regard) have a political solution.
