Matt Gaetz, staunch defender of President Trump, is sounding the alarm bells about Democrats getting ready to impeach Trump. The Hill reports:
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) said in an interview that aired Monday on “Rising” that House Democrats will move to impeach President Trump, saying they won’t “be able to help themselves” while citing pressure from the press, progressives and Democratic voters.
“The Democrats aren’t going to be able to help themselves,” Gaetz, a member of the House Judiciary Committee, told Hill.TV’s Buck Sexton on Friday. “They’re going to impeach Donald Trump.”
“[Rep.] Jerry Nadler [D-N.Y.] might not think that now, but like, when you see already the liberal media drumbeat for impeachment, and you see that already Nadler, and [Rep. Elijah] Cummings [D-Md.] are talking about impeachable offenses, these guys haven’t even gotten into power yet, and they’re already talking about impeachable offenses,” he continued.
“Over time the pressure will mount. There will be a push from the [Rep.-elect Alexandria] Ocasio-Cortez [D-N.Y.] wing of the party to have impeachment,” he said.
If Democrats do this, breaking with Pelosi’s rejection of impeachment, it will create a huge political spectacle and tie Trump’s agenda down for the next two years. This could backfire on them politically however, as was the case with Republicans during the Clinton impeachment.
Several congressional democrats have made their intention to present a “Bill of Impeachment” against President Trump on any pretext they can create quite clear. They shall persist in this even though they must know that can not possible get the 67 votes required in the Senate necessary to get a conviction and removal from office. Obviously they expect the Senate trial to keep the President occupied and divert him from performing his official duties and thus imped him from moving forward in undoing the damage caused by the last administration. No doubt they also expect the trial to erode President Trumps support and make it easier for whomever gets the democrat nomination to defeat him in 2020. The Senate trial will require a lot of testimony and evidence to be presented on both sides. A lot of documents will entered into the public record. Certainly the democrats expect this information to be damaging to the President. But they will not be able to hide anything and much of the information presented may be more damaging to the democrat party and some individuals than it is to the President. The democrats will be taking a big gamble. They could smear the President and weaken him. They could win big in 2020. Or they could loose everything in 2020. But their puerile anger over Hillary’s loss probably overrides everything else.
We have definitely turned into a Democracy now which equals mob rule. Benjamin Franklin once said to a woman that they had given it’s citizens a Republic if they can keep it? Wow that was a mouthful and and a warning to American citizens.
It’s time we appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the high treason and felony crimes committed by the “Deep State” if heads don’t roll and people don’t end up going to the pen, then we can kiss this great country good by –as in will soon become another france or italy or maybe venezuela. move to mexico and be a tourist!
More proof my theory that stupid people continue to say and do stupid things in order to garner the attention they crave but do not deserve is alive and hard at work within the Statist/Socialist Democrat Party.
really sick people. A man who keeps his promises is going to be or try to be impeached. This country has turned into a disgrace. Just imagine if the foreign exchange student was treated like Mr. Trump.
Impeachable offense has little to do with the lynch mob mentality and orchestration of the media and the Democrats. I am not comparing the individuals, but just the situation. When you read in the gospels about the trick questions the smug and rich leaders asked Jesus, they really did not expect him to answer as well as he did. They just tried again. Finally they just crowed out a conclusion they wanted the whole time, in spite of the evidence. Whether you are lynching Trump, the son of God, or a Reconstruction era Republican caught trying to help freed Blacks stand on their own, the finding of an offense is just an excuse for what was planned all along.
Someone said (I don’t recall who), “Give me a person and some time. I will find you a crime!” Luckily, the spineless RINOs will have left the Senate, where the Impeachment Trial will be held. If the Republicans will grow a pair, the Demokratz vision of Impeachment won’t stand a chance. POTUS Trump hasn’t been in Government, lon enough, to have committed any High Crimes or Misdemeanors.
What impeacheable crime has Presid3nt Crime committed? Just another witch hunt and waste of tacpayers’ Money. If there is a person that needs impeachment, it’s
pelosi, , Schumer, muller and the director of the FBI and th3 DOJ!!!! Shame of these Dr ocrsts who are notonly sore losers but corrupt and vindictive. I’m appealing to th3 true Americans to raise their voice and demands full investigation of these topdemocrâs who are all corrupt.
liberals lie just call them out each and every time!!!!!!!
We all know what the impeachment is about. It’s Hillary and her resist movement,
If he is impeached she will claim she is now president,her everlasting goal, she will never give up. Grow a pair reps you are the ones taking our country down. We the people are not stupid we are We are Maga followers.
This impeachment threat brought on by the Socialist/ Democrats is the only way the real GOP can put them to rest and will allow the Christian minded to get MAGA back in the lead.
I support President , and believe him for everything what he do and Its time to investigate the Democraps
Our Congress has verified that they are all asses and all think they are above the law. Not so fast! We are not through with calling you in and convicting those of you who know the lies and where the blame is and all the details. This is far from over and God Almighty will prevail over the truth and be the final judge you can’t escape! You are evil and will get a return you don’t want. I can’t wait to see you all when that happens and it will I assure you!!
Yes one day these people will surely get what they deserve for the wrongs they have done .
The Democrats will regret it. They have done more to earn their own impeachment than Trump has! Time for the liberals to get their butt caught in the ringer!
Its time to investigate the Democraps, I know that they are not squeaky clean
sargentrage: The Republicans have done just as much dirt to investigate as the Democrats. Look at history..
All of history is complicated. Hillary Clinton is a unique entity in contemporary politics. No one has abused our political system and committed extortion on the scale of the Clintons. From virtually renting out the Lincoln Bedroom for political contributions and approving military technology sale to China, to selling her position as Secretary of State to Morocco for support in claiming Western Sahara phosphate mines, to facilitating sale of US uranium (Uranium One) to Russia, and many more nefarious dealings. No one has earned investigation and prosecution more than Hillary Clinton.
It looks like political correctness has over taken common sense…but even more shocking is how political correctness, group think mentality and the idiocy of the left has disregarded the truth….and has shut down reality, free speech and now censorship.
