At long last, Special Counsel Robert Mueller has submitted his report to the attorney general. What does that mean for Congress — and the question of impeachment?
For 21 months, leaders of both parties have found one consistent area of agreement: the ongoing Mueller investigation provided a convenient excuse to duck, deflect, and delay discussion of impeachment. With each new revelation of impeachable conduct, the bipartisan response from Congress has been that impeachment talk was “premature” until the Mueller report was complete.
That excuse is now gone. The question is whether the House of Representatives will begin an impeachment investigation, or manufacture a new excuse.
There has never been a principled reason to wait. Even aside from the matters covered by Mueller investigation, there have long been ample independent grounds for an impeachment investigation in parallel with the Mueller probe. For example, since the day he took office, Trump has been lining his pockets with federal taxpayer dollars and unconstitutional payoffs from dubious foreign governments. The Framers specifically named that an impeachable offense. He has repeatedly directed federal agencies to target his political “enemies list.” That was part of the articles of impeachment against President Richard Nixon. And, appearing under the stage name of “Individual-1,” Trump directed his personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, to make illegal payments to influence the 2016 election — a federal crime for which Cohen will report to prison in less than two months.

Well...bring it. Let’s pop this bubble.

Because the commie left KNEW there was ZERO collusion, you cant steal an election, people go to the polls and VOTE..but to the commie left, they were so close to turning America full commie, open borders, no more private insurance, etc etc..and Trump winning destroyed all that. They know they cant beat him in 2020 so they want him gone by any means necessary
Raving lunatic moonbats.
Stay clear or you may get hit with bodily fluids.
democrats need a severe beat down next november. No sane person caring about the country could vote democrat after clinton and the rat pack which is now in there
Getting close to lock and load time.
Damn, project much? I don't think "accuse Trump of everything 0bama did and impeach him" is much of a plan but it's apparently where they want to go. Somebody needs a cold shower here.
Looks like Trump will be impeached for being cleared of collusion and wrong doing by the Special Prosecutor.
Now it’s lawsuit and prosecution time for this 2-year-long defamation campaign.

Well, that is one point of view. Another is that it is time for coup plotters to meet their fate. The raving Democrats had best think about the consequences and reactions to any attempt to overthrow the government.
Interesting how leftists have coordinated the response by doing what they do well, ignoring what doesnt work for them, and staying on message for what they wants.
The essence of advertising.

All for sedition in attempting a coup to depose a sitting duly elected president, because their puppet lost, and they have no other recourse in mind.
Mueller time is over. It’s time to erect the gallows on the commons and The People to take to their wagons and head to DC. We seek medieval retribution for what has been done to our country. And we will cast a wide net on this one.
There only needs to be a Sumter event.
Lois Lerner, I’ll never forget that smug bitch.
