Republican congressman Justin Amash calls for Trump's impeachment

[Soph0571]

He believes his colleagues are failing the US Constitution and the American people. He says Republicans are deliberately shirking their duty to thoroughly review Mueller’s 11 conclusions on obstruction of justice by the president. The report doesn’t clear Trump, Amash argues, but his colleagues are avoiding reading it closely because if they do they’ll be compelled to conclude as he did after a thorough consideration of the findings that Trump committed an impeachable offense. His first tweet outlines his position.

Amash points out that the burden of proof required for impeachment is lower than that required to charge someone with a criminal offense. In light of this, the lawyer didn’t hesitate to call for impeachment, writing, “Contrary to Barr’s portrayal, Mueller’s report reveals that President Trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment.” He notes that “Mueller’s report identifies multiple examples of conduct satisfying all the elements of obstruction of justice.” Amash believes that “undoubtedly any person who is not the president of the United States would be indicted based on such evidence.”

What's his trick?

1. The last Mohican..

2. He is hoping someday there will be a statue erected to the last non compromised Republican.

Given we survive this nightmare. Sort of a Schindlers list moment for the Constitution in dire peril by a member of a fascist party.

3. Interesting analogy

4. As a lot more gets exposed very soon,

The republican floodgates will open up against trump after so much is exposed and they can no longer ignore this corrupt criminal and liar in the the White House, because they're in trouble if they don't. They'll soon be distancing themselves from trump and claim some excuse why they haven't already, but it won't work for them either for what they've done. The walls are about to dramatically cave in on them all,and they can't stop it now.
