Himes: Trump’s Abuse of Power, Corruption ‘Makes the Nixon Impeachment Look like Child’s Play’
Breitbart ^ | 11/12/2019 | Pam Key

Posted on 11/12/2019 6:13:15 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

On this week’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) said President Donald Trump’s abuses of power made former President Richard Nixon’s impeachment “look like child’s play.”

Himes said, “We are looking at abuse of power and a level of corruption here that makes the Nixon impeachment look like child’s play. Remember, Nixon wasn’t the guy who actually broke into the Democratic National Committee headquarters. He just knew about it. Nobody died in Ukraine because Nixon held up aid to a very vulnerable nation. Nixon didn’t fire any ambassadors because Giuliani didn’t like that ambassador.”

Do these morons even think about what they say before saying it? Seems to me they throw these keys words out to feed their base.

LOL - Ambassadors serve at the pleasure of the President - any President.

This used d-nozzle wants to make the fact that the ambassador was removed to be some form of a crime.

Oh good grief this crap is nonsense... the average person in the US today is utterly sick of this impeachment bs.

The old saying of “if you are going to kill someone, don’t miss” comes to mind.

These left wing loonies prove their insanity daily.

Have recently met a former left wing loon that couldn’t take it anymore, and is now an adamant Trump supporter and over the last two years has come to realize the evil of the left. I wasn’t sure that these people really existed until I met this person.

All they are doing is reading a script handed to them by the deep state.

Yes. It's not easy to come up with such 'in your face' lies. It takes time to craft those sentences.

Oh look, he used “Nixon”, “Trump” and “impeachment” all in the same sentence.

How creative!

This is kind of amusing.

They have to know the hyperbole is going to bite them.

I think what they did is go on the offense because they had no choice — top Democrats are going to go to prison for Russia gate corruption.

Their only chance is to claim retribution and to create a massive storm for a distraction.

You have it backwards. The corrupt and complicit MSM crafts the words for these people, then films them speaking the words.

Homes needs to take a break from the hate fest and go down to the local Planned Parenthood with his fellow democrats, and suck the brains out of the skulls of innocent babies. He needs to breathe it all in so that the power of murder will continue to give him the strength to finish the job of destroying what goodness remains in America.

I know this guy. Used to campaign in our area. Called him a communist once. Told him to get off my lawn. Complete smarmy prick. Even his grade school teachers thought he was a dishonest schemer.

Yo, Himes, familiarize yourself with the Mutual Legal Assistance in Criminal Matters Treaty. It was passed in 1998 when Biden was a Senator and signed into law by B.J. Clinton which requires the President to root out corruption before giving financial aid to Ukraine. In other words, President Trump wasn't breaking the law, he was OBEYING it.

Learn it, live it, love it.

When in doubt, scream “Worse than Watergate!!”

Or just add “gate” to the end of a word or two and make the most innocuous of things seem illegal. Hellogate, goodbyegate, eatinggate, sleepgate, drinkgate, breathgate, anygate, everygate, allgate, all the timegate.

Then bring in Carl Bernstein to give the official “it’s just like Watergate” seal of approval and there you go.
