Top House Dems raise prospect of impeachment, jail for Trump [they can’t hold back]
Dissociated Press ^ | December 9, 2018 | Hope Yen

Top House Democrats on Sunday raised the prospect of impeachment or almost-certain prison time for President Donald Trump if it’s proved that he directed illegal hush-money payments to women, adding to the legal pressure on the president over the Russia investigation and other scandals.

“There’s a very real prospect that on the day Donald Trump leaves office, the Justice Department may indict him, that he may be the first president in quite some time to face the real prospect of jail time,” said Rep. Adam Schiff, the incoming chairman of the House intelligence committee. “The bigger pardon question may come down the road as the next president has to determine whether to pardon Donald Trump.”

Rep. Jerry Nadler, the incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, described the details in prosecutors’ filings Friday in the case of Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, as evidence that Trump was “at the center of a massive fraud.”

“They would be impeachable offenses,” Nadler said. …

While I don’t see any practical possibility of an impeachment and conviction, were it to happen I would be 100% in favor of armed revolt.

The Democrats openly stated during the campaign that if Trump was elected they would try to impeach him. They are admitting that they believe it should be illegal for elected Republicans to hold office. That’s the “impeachable” crime.

If they are able to do it, they will have established legitimate grounds for armed rebellion.

I feel like we are almost living People’s Republic (2014) by Kurt Schlichter - read it.

Dems are making a huge huge mistake if they think the American patriot is going to sit back and act as complacent and neutered as the RINO party. If they go down this road of impeachment and indictment for something so innocuous as paying off a slut, hell is going to be unleashed upon them the likes they have never seen. Try to imagine a couple million armed and ready pissed off patriots descending upon Washington for starters. They are severely underestimating us.

The GOP are complicit, not “complacent and neutered”.

What about Congress using taxpayer money to hush up claims. Let’s disclose all involved.

Such payments are not illegal to make, not even for a candidate for office (who gives up no rights just because of that); it is, however, illegal to extort/blackmail someone to make one.

If the Democrat/Left thinks they have nothing to lose by continuing their persistent and increasingly vile attacks on President Trump, on his family and on his associates, they are wrong. Donald Trump is not your typical "professional politician"; he is an accomplished street fighter who, I think, will not hesitate to destroy them if they dare push too far ... and I think they will ... they simply cannot help doing so.

Only then will they realize what hell they have brought upon themselves and their socialist movement by their relentless attacks on our Republic, on our Constitution and on American citizens.

And I believe that day is not too far off.

n marked contrast, though, when it was discovered that Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign was guilty of violations involving nearly $2 million – an amount that dwarfs the $280,000 in Cohen’s case – the Obama Justice Department decided not to prosecute.

Well of course, they are trying to redefine them as “illegal” by claiming that they somehow “influenced an election”. Highly tenuous. Nobody voted for Trump based on whether they knew about Stormy Daniels or not.

[Full scale war is upon us. ]

Pretty much.

We live in .... (wait for it) .... “Interesting times”.




Mueller must be laughing his ass off. All he has to do is release heavily redacted "sentencing memos" or heavily redacted "indictments," sit back, and let the evil news media take it to President Trump and his administration, while the likes of every Demonic-rat pile on!

Evidence? None of the aforementioned need any stinkin' evidence!

They can't wait for evidence, because all concerned know that evidence doesn't exist.


President Trump will be forced to release all the documents, but he is playing for time ... his own time... but that might have to come sooner than he's been planning on.

It's all in Mueller's hands for the time being ... Mueller could decide to drag his "probe" into 2020. THINK ABOUT THAT!

also this one by Rex,

“Mueller’s Capitulation & General Flynn’s Ambush - The Tide Has Turned”

Drunk on power, Obama’s arrogant goons thought they could ambush Lt General Michael Flynn. As Rex explains, they never realized that they were General Flynn’s quarry, the entire time. And they’re about to learn the hard way what happens, when you try to frame a genius in military intelligence...

Hillary’s “basket of deplorables” speech steeled the resolve of the Trump base and pushed the election past the Democrat cheating point.

A failed impeachment on thin grounds (especially something technical that is hard to explain), will ensure Trump’s second term.

Pelosi knows this and that is why she is trying to shut her caucus down on the issue.

They probably realize that getting to two-thirds in the Senate is impossible, and Trump would never resign like Nixon, so they are hoping this will all contribute to his defeat so he can be jailed (after a travesty of a trial) in 2021.

Several Presidents have done things while in office which arguably should have sent them to prison, but so far the unspoken rule is that you don't go after former Presidents...even if Ford had to issue a pardon (which probably was the main reason he lost in 1976) in Nixon's case. The Democrats are chomping at the bit to flout that tradition, just as they refused to accept the legitimacy of the outcome of the election in 2000 and 2016...never true in the past (except for the man who was later the first Democrat President, Andrew Jackson, crying foul over his loss in 1824/25).
