The mask is off: Democrats get right to work to impeach Trump
American Thinker ^ | November 12, 2018 | Monica Showalter

Posted on 11/12/2018 8:52:47 AM PST by jazusamo

Having taken back the House, Democrats aren't waiting around to get seated. They're getting down to business, and sorry voters, it's not the moderate legislation with Medicare fixes they ran on.

Nope, they're out to Get Trump.

Mike Allen of Axios quotes an insider who describes a coming " subpoena cannon :"

House Democrats plan to probe every aspect of President Trump’s life and work, from family business dealings to the Space Force to his tax returns to possible "leverage" by Russia, top Democrats tell us.

What they're saying: One senior Democratic source said the new majority, which takes power in January, is preparing a "subpoena cannon," like an arena T-shirt cannon.

So they're going to go for impeachment right out the gate, looking to expose President Trump's tax records, his firings of this or that official, the creation of the Space Force, Puerto Rico hurricane relief (good luck with that one), White House security clearances, White House email use (amazing hypocrisy on that one), pretty much anything they can throw to the wall and see if it sticks. They've got 85 of such subpoenas in the works.

Guess the moderate schtick they got elected on is kind of over. They haven't even been seated yet and already they're going for the frenzied crazy stuff.

As Axios reports:

Top Democrats, who had largely avoided the subject during the campaign, now tell us they plan to almost immediately begin exploring possible grounds for impeachment. A public report by Robert Mueller would ignite the kindling.

Now they tell us! In other words: Gotcha.

And some a@@holes bought the notion that they weren’t gonna do this and voted dem.

You know what?

#### it.

Bring it on and let the battle begin.

I’m putting my money on Trump.

i’ve doubted him too many times only to be wrong in the end.

I’m not doing it again.

#### answering the subpoenas, like hillary did.

And make sure the new AG DESTROYS EVERY SINGLE DEM HE CAN.

I think this fight is long overdue anyway.

The key phrase here, is that “Trump is not a politician”...

We’ve needed someone like this for a LONG time...

This is why Trump needs to appoint a very aggressive AG. To go after all of the Democrat corruption.

Dear Dhimmicrats,
Pursuing impeachment is tantamount to a declaration of war. Are you certain that this is really what you want to do? Have you really thought things through to their ultimate resolution?

Please let me know as soon as practical as I have a reserve on another 10K of ammo pending.

Sincerely,
American Nationalist

Also, a STAGGERING number of Rs in the senate would have to vote to impeach.

Take away the lightweight Rs, and I still see NO WAY EIGHTEEN Rs vote on kicking him out.

Not with this bull #### “crimes” that dems are throwing out there.

The 'thank you' belongs to the Republic Party that hasn't figured out a way to stop this massive voter fraud.

I think the "subpoena cannon" is a trial balloon, to see how it plays with the base, the media and fundraising. It will excite the goober hardcore left, but it will be a wet firecracker with the rest of their constituents.

They will let Schiffty have his fun, but it will be a sideshow.

If they're smart, Pelosi will reach out to Trump to see if there's some agenda items they can work together on. If she doesn't, or if Trump doesn't play along at all, they will be right back out of power in two years.

The house can impeach Trump without a single repub. Only a simple majority is needed. The senate takes 2/3 to convict and remove. With repubs like collins, romney, gardner and others, it may be possible. But the fallout would exceed their expectations, I think.

This is just more proof to the American people that the liberal leftists care more about power than they do helping America or the American people...
