COUP UPDATE: Dems Abandon Charge of Bribery, House Democrats File Two Articles of Impeachment on Trumped Up Charges of ‘High Crimes’

21

Articles of impeachment against Trump on Tuesday

They got nuthin. Like Russia, iit’s all subterfuge – fodder for the enemedia to impeach the American people.

From the story: This strategy would indicate that the House Democrats are taking a focused approach toward impeaching the president, one that leaves out potential bribery charges based on a quid pro quo over the requested Biden investigation and withheld military aid as well as obstruction of justice charge drawn from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report (Mediaite).   From Daily Mail’s David Martosko: What happened to bribery? It was all the rage a week ago (Twitter). From Sean Davis: What happened to bribery and quid pro quo and extortion and criminal violation of campaign finance laws? Those Democrat claims had no basis in reality, so Democrats are now back in their happy place: Impeach Orange Bad Man Because Orange Man Bad (Twitter).

The facts haven’t changed. And that’s bad news for the do-nothing obstructionists:

  1. There is no evidence of wrongdoing by the President. Despite weeks of hearings, Democrats have not produced a single piece of evidence showing that President Trump committed any criminal, impeachable offense whatsoever.
  2. Ukraine has said there was no pressure. President Zelensky and other Ukrainian officials have explained repeatedly that they never felt pushed.
  3. Lethal aid to Ukraine wouldn’t even exist without President Trump. For all the Democrats’ posturing about national security and aid, it was President Trump who made the decision to provide Ukraine with lethal aid. The Obama Administration had rejected doing so for years.
  4. This is an unfair, unprecedented impeachment stunt. House Democrats have continually broken with precedent and implemented an unfair “investigation” in a desperate attempt to ram impeachment through Congress.

NBC News is dancing naked in the streets:

House Democrats unveil two articles of impeachment, accusing Trump of ‘high crimes and misdemeanors’

Democrats are expected to move swiftly to hold a committee and floor vote before the holiday break.
By Rebecca Shabad and Allan Smith, NBC News, 

WASHINGTON — House Democrats on Tuesday unveiled articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump about two and a half months after Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., first announced a formal impeachment inquiry into the president.

Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., announced that his committee will consider two articles of impeachment — one for abuse of power and the other for obstruction of Congress — charging Trump “with committing high crimes and misdemeanors.”

Nadler said the articles of impeachment were being filed in response to Trump allegedly soliciting foreign interference in the 2020 election, compromising national security, threatening the integrity of the upcoming election and concealing evidence from Congress and the American people. Trump, he said, violated his oath of office.

Trump, Nadler said, exercised “the powers of his public office to obtain an improper personal benefit” and engaged in “indiscriminate defiance of the impeachment inquiry.”

Pelosi and Nadler were flanked by House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, House Financial Services Chairwoman Maxine Waters, House Ways & Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal and House Oversight Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney.

The announcement comes a day after the Judiciary Committee held its second public impeachment hearing, in which lawyers for Democratic and Republican members took turns summarizing the cases they’ve built.

NBC News reported Monday night that Democrats had settled on bringing two articles of impeachment against the president: abuse of power and obstruction of Congress, according to five people familiar with impeachment discussions.

Democrats had been wrestling with whether to make the articles narrow — focusing only on the president’s alleged misconduct in Ukraine — or to make them broad — expanding them to not only include Ukraine but also obstruction of justice raised in the Mueller report or violations of the emoluments clause, for instance.

In a televised statement Thursday, Pelosi said the House would move forward with drafting articles of impeachment against the president, adding “the president leaves us no choice but to act.”

“Sadly, but with confidence and humility, with allegiance to our founders and our heart full of love for America, today, I am asking our chairmen to proceed with articles of impeachment,” Pelosi said in a brief televised statement from the Capitol.

Once the articles come to the floor, they are expected to be adopted by the Democratic-controlled House. Once that happens, the process moves to the Republican-held Senate, which is then expected to hold a trial on whether to remove Trump from office. So far, Senate Republicans have shown no sign they will break with the president on impeachment.

This is a communist style show trial put on to try to stop Trump’s re-election. The traitor Dems know they can’t stop Trump with any current or potential candidate so they came up with this Star Chamber indictment. This is a stunt and nothing more.

THIS IS A VERY SAD DAY FOR AMERICA!
FISA REPORT
PAGE 186
1, the Primary Sub-source said he/ she made it clear to Steele that h’e/she had no proof to support the statements from his/her sub-sources and that “it was just talk.” WFO Agent 1 said that the Primary Sub-source explained that his/ her information came from “word of mouth and hearsay;” “conversation that [he/she] had with friends over beers;” and that some of the information, such as allegations about Trump’s sexual activities, were statements he/she heard made in “jest.”341 The Primary Sub-source also told WFO Agent 1 that he/she believed that the other sub-sources exaggerated their access to information and the relevance of that information to his/her requests. The Primary Sub-source told WFO Agent 1 that he/she “takes what [sub-sources] tell [him/ her] with ‘a grain of salt.”‘
In addition, the FBI interviews with the Primary Sub-source revealed that Steele did not have good insight into how many degrees of separation existed between the Primary Sub-source’s sub-sources and the persons quoted in the reporting, and that it could have been multiple layers of hearsay upon hearsay.

PAGE 190
As discussed in Chapter Eight, Carter Page FISA Renewal Application Nos. 2 and 3 advised the court that following the January interview with the Primary Subsource, “the FBI found the Russian-based sub-source to be truthful and cooperative.”

The FBI LIED TO THE COURT!

The DOJ and FBI are hopelessly corrupt.
Horowitz showed his BIAS and lack of LAW ENFORCEMENT in the summary of his IG report.
Horowitz tried to white wash and protect those who are guilty. Obama appointee, Horowitz should be disbarred for that.

House Democrats Unveil Two Articles of Impeachment Against Trump
By JOSHUA CAPLAN
10 Dec 2019

The charges — abuse of power and obstruction of Congress — stem from second-hand allegations brought forth in a whistleblower complaint by a partisan CIA officer, who alleged President Trump attempted to pressure the leader of Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter Biden, in exchange for U.S. military aid. Both President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky have both vehemently denied any pressure was applied during their July 25 telephone conversation at the center of the impeachment inquiry. The White House released a transcript of the president’s call with Zelensky as evidence that no wrongdoing occurred.

Schiff spoke after Nadler, explaining that Congress had no choice but to pursue impeachment expeditiously because the 2020 election is one year away.

Here is some very good advise for Democrats, on how to prepare for Wednesday, November 4, 2020. the day after the night before! Chuck Todd will need Fire Dept. “Jaws of Life”, to pry his eyes down from the ceiling.

The Coast Guard will be on standby with pollution barriers to stop Savannah Guthrie’s mascara runoff!

Three Survival Tips
1.) Save enough ca$h for bail after arrest for vandalizing police squad cars.
2.) Book now for an appointments with a qualified psychiatrist because there will be none available after Nov 4.
3.) Don’t go near office windows because unlike the “Crash of ’29” they won’t open!.

If any one thing should prove just how thick the skins are of those self promoting anti democratic leftist sore losers with their fabricated charges, that display should prove it, their “virtue signalling” sickening display proves that they have no virtue at all, they’re just trying to stage a coup by using the courts, of pussy hat opinion.

Investigate, charge, prosecute, convict and imprison, nothing less is going to do.

If the Democratic representatives who vote for impeachment get re-elected, they will try again in 2021.

More dirt and more OFFENSE is needed against the Dems; and their journalists. they need to be distracted too. big time.

“By their own admission its about the 2020 election”

Which is more documented proof that this is a COUP.
A coup changes the context of impeachment.

“NO coup for you” ! is what we should put on signs outside congress and at rallies.
