Liberals will be shocked to hear this. Yes, I finally agree. You’ve won over Wayne Root with evidence and common sense. It’s time to impeach the president.
However, it’s not President Trump I’m talking about. It’s time to impeach former President Barack Obama. And of course, prosecute him too.
Many are starting to come to this conclusion. Tom Fitton, the legal genius behind Judicial Watch (the number one government watchdog in America), has come to the same conclusion. Fitton said this week that amidst a climate of impeachment fervor, the actual evidence points to Obama’s actions warranting impeachment far more than Trump. Fitton reports that ordering surveillance and sending spies into the Trump presidential campaign are all grounds for post-Presidency impeachment and more importantly, prosecution.
None other than greatly respected former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer said this week, “I guarantee the answer is yes” as to whether Obama knew the FBI had planted spies into the Trump campaign. He says no FBI Director would dare infiltrate a presidential campaign without the direct approval and authorization of the sitting president.
Welcome to my world. I’ve screamed about Obama’s illegal actions for years. Starting of course with his attempt to use the IRS to destroy my life. But I’m just one of thousands of victims. I have always understand the lengths Obama would go to, to destroy his political opposition.
Obama didn’t just authorize illegal spying, surveillance and FISA warrants based on fraud, paid for by Hillary and the DNC. He ordered it all.
Somehow this must all be getting through. Despite 93% negative news coverage from the mainstream media, President Trump is sitting pretty at 50% approval at Rasmussen (the most accurate pollster of the 2016 election). More shockingly, Reuters generic Congressional poll has shifted from Democrats winning by 16 points back in February, to Republicans up by 6 points this week. YES, I said Republicans are now leading by 6 points.
That’s a 22-point swing in a matter of months. And a 9-point swing in a week. The supposed “blue wave” is finished.
Why do you think this is? Because the average American now understands what happened. It isn’t Trump who did anything wrong. He was clearly framed by Obama, Hillary and their minions in the DC Swamp (FBI, DOJ, CIA and NSA).
But far worse is the reason for the framing. First, Obama had a personal hatred and obsession with Trump- for daring to ask questions about Obama’s birth certificate, place of birth and college records. Second, Obama was on the hook for his own crimes: spying, surveillance, criminal weaponization of government agencies like the IRS. And he was also on the hook for allowing Hillary’s crimes, including the Uranium One deal, where the Clinton Foundation received $140 million in donations from Russia.
But that was only one of many corrupt deals while Hillary served as Obama’s Secretary of State. Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice reported days ago his organization has uncovered THOUSANDS of docs showing Pay-to-Play between Hillary’s State Dept and the Clinton Foundation. He called Hillary’s State Dept a “favor factory.”
Sekulow found 30,000 emails between Hillary, her top staff and the Clinton Foundation. This is crime on a massive unprecedented scale. The State Dept became a division of a private company (a charity scam), using taxpayer money to dole out government contracts to Hillary's donors.
How much money changed hands? Billions? How many crooked deals? Hundreds? How many other members of Obama’s administration got cut in on the bribes? Could President Obama have had a piece of the action? Obama desperately needed Hillary to win, or he’d face criminal prosecution. Remember what Truman said, “The buck stops here.”
And then there was this news: Wikileaks reports Obama was a veteran of illegal spying. They claim to have proof Obama ordered the CIA to spy on all of France’s presidential candidates.
Who else did Obama spy on? What other world leaders did he try to frame just like Trump? How about American politicians, like his 2012 opponent Mitt Romney? Obama and Hillary tried to fix the 2016 election. Is it possible Obama fixed the 2012 election with spying and surveillance vs. Romney?
Yes, the media is right. It’s time to start talking about impeachment and prosecution of a president.
Obama.
I agree with the premise that Obama and his cabal should be charged with the crimes they committed, but impeachment is for sitting federal officers, not a private citizen. Obama is now just a private citizen. Admittedly one who got very, very rich sucking at the government teat, but private citizen nevertheless. And yes, I despise everything about Obama.
Detroit, Watts, Jackson, Flint, NO, Montgomery.....will burn if Odunga was prosecuted. Not necessarily a bad thing.
I’d prefer a more severe punishment than just impeaching odumbo.
I could care less... much less
nobama, the Greatest Fraud Ever, should face Justice. However, I believe the penalties for what this criminal fraud did are beyond “prison time”.
It should also now be revealed who in the hell he really is and who paid for him
To what end? Hope for something useful: clean out the Senate.
Waterboarding...on pay for view.
Going after 0 would be a YUGE mistake, because it would INSTANTLY unite his “base” and allow them to claim he was now a “victim” of those “mean rascally Republicans”.
And I’m sure Trump understands this.
So—I hope and pray—Trump is exposing every rotten limb that provided cover for 0 until 0 is so fully exposed that people can see for themselves how rotten he is.
Then, Trump can leave him alone and watch (with a bemused smile) how desperate 0 is to convince an increasingly disinterested and disgusted public that his there was not a “smidgen of corruption” in his administration.
I would just LOVE it if Trump got Obama’s college records opened up & we found out that he received FOREIGN AID-—which would prove he wasn’t born in the USA.
I don’t believe he was EVER eligible to be President.
I agree. And I say, “Bring it!”
Root is about 11 years too late. Soetoro should never have been on the ballot.
... is impeachment possible for a PAST-sitting President?
Agree...jail all politicians who helped Obama, yes that includes Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Jeff Flake, John ‘the Cryer’ Bonehead.)
Under the reign of Obama, the USA went from a Republic to a banana republic.
Obama will not be prosecuted.
Too many people responsible for the Kenyanesian Usurpation are afraid their own culpability will be exposed.
Both parties colluded to violate the Constitution.
So, what burns if the people see incontrovertible evidence of high crimes and misdemeanors and he isn’t prosecuted?
Impeachment and removal are an exclusive function of the Legislative branch. Neither the Judiciary nor the Executive can put limits on it. If Congress wants to, they can impeach and find guilty past officers as a punishment.
“If an official is impeached by the House and convicted by the requisite vote in the Senate, then Article I, Section 3, Clause 7, provides that the person convicted is further barred from any ‘Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States.’ The convicted official also loses any possible federal pensions.”
I was just starting a response to Kaslin which began, "it won't be long before somebody shows up claiming that you can't impeach a private citizen", and here you are!
Of course you can impeach a private citizen. Impeachment by Parliament was started to REMOVE ministers of the King who carried out policies that Parliament did not want, AND to designate individuals whom Parliament did not wish to allow the King to appoint. Parliament did not then, and does not now, have the authority to advise and consent to appointments, so impeachment provided a mechanism to achieve a similar result.
There are TWO punishments which the Senate can impose on an impeached and convicted person - the first, removal from office, does not apply to Obama. But the second, "disqualification to hold and enjoy any office of honor, trust or profit under the United States" is a FUTURE sanction which could be applied against anyone (Hillary Clinton, for example) who might seek office at a later time.
In the case of Obama, that would block President Kamala Harris from making him an ambassador, or appointing him to the Supreme Court.
