How in the hell, can Trump be impeached for actions taken BEFORE he was President? This crap makes no sense. Trump better nuke this and fire Mueller or Sessions better get his ass in gear.
Because, Deep State Rosenstein gave Mueller wide latitude to investigate anything and everything.
THAT was the game plan from the beginning. No serious Deep Stater believes the collusion BS.
Fire both of them. Mueller is making it up as he goes along and Sessions has no clue what his job is supposed to be to protect the president. Get rid of both. I would.

Impeachment is, at heart, a political and not a legal thing. And the House of Representatives has unchecked power to impeach. It doesn’t matter what Mueller says. Mueller can say that Trump is 100% squeaky clean, and the House can still impeach him for whatever reason it wants.
All the House would need is some flimsy cover. And constitutionally, no one can challenge that.
So I predict that should the Democrats take the House this year, Trump will be impeached. It will be done just to embarrass him. But Trump will not be convicted in the Senate as that takes a 2/3 vote.
They don’t need an impeachment. They just want him un-electable
Even more obscene is the notion that somehow “justice” was at risk in the alleged cover up. Unless you figure that the $130K was peanuts compared to what the slut thinks she could score by going public in interviews, TV mini-series, a book, a movie, etc. Please read sarcasm into the last sentence.
Found it.
Office of Legal Counsel
“The OLC memorandum concluded that all federal civil officers except the President are subject to indictment and criminal prosecution while still in office; the President is uniquely immune from such process.
... we agree with the 1973 conclusions that indicting and prosecuting a sitting President would “prevent the executive from accomplishing its constitutional functions” and that this impact cannot “ be justified by an overriding need” to promote countervailing and legitimate government objectives.”

That does not preclude Congress from determining what a President can or cannot be Impeached for.
Been saying this for months. Believe it is now too late and Trump will be set up for impeachment. With the problem of RINO Republicans in the Senate such as Flake, McCain and a few others it will pass with the necessary 60 votes. It will be close. As far as the House, a tossup.
Two crisis at the juncture and I can’t decide which is the most serious - California’s acts of treason, or the need to stop Mueller.
