Liberal Media Scream: Together now, networks preach 'impeachment’......
washingtonexaminer ^ | 12/10/2018 | Paul Bedard

This week’s Liberal Media Scream features the media jumping on the impeachment bandwagon, with CBS and ABC leading the way, even in their intros.

Displaying identical news judgments, the ABC and CBS evening newscasts on Sunday night offered a matching way to frame the day’s news as both used the very same phrasing for their on-screen teases, with corresponding narration from the anchors: “Impeachable Offenses?”

“A fine example of how major national media outlets see the world through the same prism. No conspiracy, but the journalists at two networks forwarded the identical terminology to frame what they saw as the day’s top political news story. So much for ‘diversity’ of viewpoints within the national press corps.”

Basically...but it’ll go nowhere. He wasn’t president then even if he did the deed..I really don’t care. The mans been married three times so anyone who thinks he keeps things at home is nuts in the first place.

Of course the media jackals will push impeachment as the loonies are now in control of the House. Despite the media telling us Trump has committed a laundry list of crimes worthy of impeachment and parade a bunch of experts who assure us there is unshakable evidence of Trump’s crimes, the Democrat leadership at least for now will not allow impeachment as they know there is no evidence. Instead there will be unending hearings and investigations to further fuel the media’s Trump hate. The Kavanaugh hearing backfired and the public was sickened to see that a single decades old accusation without any corroboration or witnesses and no less than six negative FBI background investigations was used to smear and nearly destroy an innocent man. Pursuing impeachment with nothing more than innuendo and lies would not play well with the public.

NY Democrat Jerry Nadler's comments were striking in part because he was on the Judiciary Committee that voted
to impeach Bill Clinton......at the time Nadler said that vote was tantamount to an attempted coup and a
gross abuse of the House's impeachment power.

NADLER'S INCIPIENT ALZHEIMERS?

freebeacon.com BY: Jack Heretik, August 26, 2018

NY Democrat Jerry Nadler was confronted about his comments–made during former President Bill Clinton's impeachment–saying a president can't commit obstruction of justice. NBC's MTP's Chuck Todd asked Nadler about his past comments, in which he was defending Clinton during the impeachment proceedings against him.".......back in 1999, during the debate about whether or not Bill Clinton obstructed justice, you said at the time you were not convinced that a president could obstruct justice," Todd said. "Do you feel that way, that it's not one of the quote ‘might not be impeachable,’ put it this way, that obstruction of justice might not be an impeachable offense?"

A DEMOCRAT-INDUCED MEMORY---- "Well, I don't remember saying that, but if I said it, I said it, but no, I don't agree with that today. A president, anybody can obstruct justice," Nadler said. "Obstruction of justice under certain circumstances might be an impeachable offense. Remember, there is a very big difference between a crime which may or may not be impeachable and an impeachable offense which doesn't have to be a crime."

=================================

Nadler has been a member of Congress since 1992 and was part to the Clinton impeachment proceedings. In a 1998 floor speech, Nadler said Clinton perjuring himself was not an impeachable offense."Perjury is a serious crime and, if provable, should be prosecuted in a court of law. But it may or may not involve the president’s duties and performance in office. Perjury on a private matter, perjury regarding sex, is not a great and dangerous offense against the Nation. It is not an abuse of uniquely presidential power. It does not threaten our form of government. It is not an impeachable offense," Nalder said.

At the time Nadler said Clinton's perjury with regard to a private sexual affair did not threaten the Constitutional order; it is a crime but was not an impeachable offense. Perjury regarding an attempt by a president to subvert the Constitutional order, to aggrandize power probably, would be an impeachable offense."

======================================

That was then:
Nadler defended Clinton "eloquently," arguing the lewinskied Clinton shouldn't be impeached for lying to conceal his affair with an intern.

This is now:
incoming chair Nadler is itching to impeach Trump using discredited witnesses like porn star Stormy Daniels and her sleaze lawyer Michael Avenatti.

.........”The Leftists sure have a great platform for 2020”....

Keeping their base in a hyper-state of anger and warfare so they can get them to the polls in 2020.

The more corruption and improprieties get uncovered, the more the facts point to the Clinton machine’s connections and friends around the world.

As the noise grows louder from the Left to “impeach” Trump... for accusations that are minuscule compared to the Clinton and Left’s high crimes...

If there were ANY justice still available in this nation - Hillary would be literally in an orange jumpsuit, behind iron bars.

Why all the hysteria? They can’t even make a dent in President trump. He has widespread public support after the $.2% GDP growth this last quarter.

Money talks and bul$hit walks. PDJT’s popularity os over 52% and would be around 80% without the massive propaganda of the liberal fascist left.

They haven’t even mussed up his hair!

“Someone” controls all of the media. Every night the networks “report” exactly the same “news”. And so do the local stations. It’s as if one person was deciding what to cover each day.
