Disturbing. Impeachment.

Impeachment is now the only play the Left has
By Steve Grammatico

"I have had it up to here with the Democratic Party, now investing all its energy in destroying Donald Trump even if it means doing irreparable harm to the country and the presidency. And it's about to get worse.

Color me unsurprised. Schumer, Pelosi, their congressional cohorts, their peevish billionaire backers, their unserious presidential aspirants, their angry base, their media sycophants, and their Deep State allies — none of them gives a fig about the damage their cause is doing to America's tradition of constitutional governance. It's about power, not principle.

Plenty of ordinary people who inhabit the Left's echo chamber believe they're on the side of the angels. You know them — the cousins, siblings, friends who refuse to entertain any information that contradicts their beliefs. The Progressives' pawns. In their millions, they're about to be enlisted in the Democrats' last-ditch attempt to nullify Trump's election.

Mueller was probably told by Barr to wrap it up and stuck his finger in the A.G.'s eye by devoting half the report to obstruction porn. They'll deny it, but House committee chairs Schiff, Nadler, and Cummings are now prepping the ground for impeachment hearings. Every Dem in the House, including the "moderates," will vote to impeach because they live in Nancy's world. Against conventional wisdom, it will happen sooner rather than later. Why?

As Mueller and collusion recede, as the economy keeps chugging along, Trump's numbers are likely to tick up. He must be stopped before he reverses the progressive train wreck the left plans for the rest of us. Impeachment — not conviction, which is not going to happen — might constrain Trump from pursuing his agenda and perhaps render him unelectable in 2020. Consider:

• The instant the president is impeached, he will be proclaimed tainted and unworthy of holding the office. Hillary's charge that he is an illegitimate president will become the new narrative, the inescapable truth.

• Deathly afraid of Ruth Bader Ginsberg's passing, Schumer will declare that an impeached president has no business making appointments to the Supreme Court. Thousands of left-leaning lawyers and academics will sign petitions. The news will be about nothing else. In this climate, McConnell might be unable to herd all his cats and get a Supreme Court nominee through.

• On immigration, trade, Iran, Venezuela, and a host of other matters, squishy Republicans in the House and Senate will determine that Trump is weakened and desert him to bask in the praise of Colbert, Schiff, and the New York Times for abandoning partisanship for the good of the country. (Barf.) I'm thinking of you, Senator Romney.

• Impeachment in the near future obliterates coverage of the DOJ's I.G. report, the Huber inquiry, and anything Bull Durham has come up with since he began his investigation. Smoking guns? Brennan, Clapper, Comey indicted? Who cares? Section B, page 13, maybe. Trump's impeachment is the only story.

Loyal opposition, my butt. The Left and its enablers are disloyal opportunists messing with the greatest document — aside from the Bible — in human history: the Constitution of the United States. And more's the pity: millions of Americans who love this country and its institutions stand with the people who are trying to shred it. These I don't forgive for they know not what they do, because they've chosen ignorance.

With Mueller done and hell about to descend on the Deep State, Pelosi must pull the trigger on impeachment. That's all the Dems have. And, not being entirely convinced about the wisdom of the American electorate, it may be enough."

 

I hope, but, the last sentence of the OP article has me nailed: "not being entirely convinced about the wisdom of the American electorate".

 

Elections are all about government of the electorate, by the electorate, for the electorate. Unless they're lied to and deceived the majority gets what it wants. I've little confidence that a moral majority exists anymore.

 

Pelosi Schedules Emergency Meeting With House Dems to Discuss Impeachment

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has called an emergency meeting with Democrats Wednesday morning at 9 a.m. to discuss their demands for impeachment proceedings against President Trump, per Fox News.

"The pressure is actually real," as Dana Perino noted.

Pelosi just had a closed door meeting with members of Congress in which she reiterated that now is not the time to consider impeachment - it's time for them to turn to other issues. You know, issues that got them voted in in the first place.

Still, she faced push back from her own leadership team and from some of the more progressive lawmakers.

POLITICO on Twitter

At tomorrow's meeting, will she stand her ground or succumb to peer pressure?

This divisive debate appears to have been renewed after Rep. Justin Amash (MI) became the first Republican lawmaker to call for Trump's impeachment over the weekend."

 

House Judiciary Chair Nadler Subpoenas Hope Hicks

"...Hicks, along with other members of the president’s circle, have been given until June 4 to submit all requested documents. She is expected to testify before House Judiciary lawmakers on June 19. The panel has also issued a subpoena for Annie Donaldson, a former aide in the White House counsel’s office, for documents and a private deposition for June 24.

Donaldson was a top aide to former White House Counsel Donald McGahn, who on Tuesday defied a subpoena from the committee to testify. President Trump had directed McGahn not to appear.


“The redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report documented alarming misconduct and obstruction of justice by President Trump. Donaldson and Hicks were critical witnesses to this behavior,” a statement via the committee reads.


The subpoenas come as Democrats debate how to respond to Trump’s declaration that he will fight “all of the subpoenas” from Congress.
More Democrats are calling for impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump after he blocked McGahn from testifying.


A growing number of rank-and-file House Democrats, incensed by McGahn’s empty chair in the hearing room, are pushing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and other leaders to act. Their impatience is running up against the speaker’s preference for a more methodical approach, including already-unfolding court battles.


Pelosi has summoned them to a meeting Wednesday to assess strategy.


Some other Democratic leaders, while backing Pelosi, signaled that a march to impeachment may at some point become inevitable.


Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) said if a House inquiry “leads to other avenues including impeachment … so be it.”..."

She's realistic enough to know two things, that there's no way that the Senate will convict even if the House impeaches, and, impeaching Trump is NOT popular and will come back and bite the Dims in 2020.

I expect she will cave to pressure from the moonbats this morning though.
