Dems’ House takeover to usher in wave of Trump investigations, indictment and impeachment could follow

35

This has been their whole mission from day one of Trump’s triumph, our triumph of the people throwing off the noose of the ruling elite, refusing to accept the American “aristocracy.” Trump said in his Inaugural Address that he was going to take the government away from the elites and give it back to the people, and from that very moment, the Democrats have been on an obsessive and insane quest to destroy this man and, by proxy, the American people, free will and the rule of law. This is a showdown for our very survival as a free society and a proud independent nation.

They’re about to get subpoena power – and they plan to use it.

As Democrats officially take back control of the House when the new Congress is seated Thursday, newly empowered House Committee chairmen are preparing to launch a slew of Trump administration investigations.

Those Democrats armed with subpoena power include Rep. Jerry Nadler, the incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee; Rep. Elijah Cummings, D-Md., incoming chairman of the House Oversight Committee; and Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., incoming chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

In a press release Wednesday, Cummings said his committee plans to “investigate waste, fraud, and abuse in the Trump Administration,” as well as “other issues that affect the American people every day.”

The looming congressional probes amount to another front in President Trump’s ever-expanding battle with institutions ranging from the mainstream media to Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation — all coming as Democrats flirting with a 2020 bid also train their political sights on the administration. Areas of interest probed by these committees could cover everything from Trump’s ousting of Attorney General Jeff Sessions to Trump’s past tax returns as a businessman to Trump’s relationship with adult film star Stormy Daniels.

House Democrats campaigned on using a new majority to push back against the Trump administration. While their most pressing issue will be trying to find a way out of the partial government shutdown that’s been in effect for nearly two weeks, scrutiny of the Trump administration will be next up on the list of priorities.

For his part, the president kicked off the new year expressing optimism, even as he faces the new political reality of divided government.

“2019 will be a fantastic year for those not suffering from Trump derangement syndrome,” the president tweeted Tuesday. “Just calm down and enjoy the ride, great things are happening for our country!”…

“Pelosi parts with DOJ on whether sitting president can be indicted: ‘Open discussion,'” by Brooke Singman, Fox News, January 3, 2019:

White House not expecting to hear from Democrats again on border funding negotiations until Pelosi locks up speakership

Speaker-designate Nancy Pelosi said Thursday that a longstanding Justice Department policy protecting sitting presidents from indictment is “not conclusive” and represents an “open discussion,” in a fresh warning to President Trump amid Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe.

In an interview with NBC News’ “Today,” Pelosi was asked repeatedly whether she believed Mueller should “honor and observe” Justice Department guidance that keeps sitting presidents off limits from indictment.

“I do not think that that is conclusive, no I do not,” Pelosi, D-Calif., told NBC’s Savannah Guthrie.

Guthrie asked Pelosi whether it was possible Mueller, in his investigation into Russian meddling and potential collusion with Trump campaign associates during the 2016 presidential election, could recommend indicting Trump.

“Let’s just see what Mueller does. Let’s spend our time on getting results for the American people,” Pelosi said, as she prepares to lead the Democrats upon reclaiming the House majority Thursday afternoon.

Trump’s attorney, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, said in May that Mueller has assured the president’s legal team that he will follow the Justice Department guidance protecting a sitting president from indictment….

“Democrat Plans To File Articles of Impeachment IMMEDIATELY After House Takeover,” by Emily Zanotti, Daily Wire, January 3, 2019:

California Democratic Rep. Brad Sherman wasted no time in introducing articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump, filing them as his first order of business in the new, Democrat-controlled House of Representatives.

Sherman, who authored the resolution and has introduced it once before, in 2017, told the Los Angeles Times that he does not believe there is any compelling reason that Congress should waiver or delay in taking action against Trump. To that end, Sherman preempted his own party leadership and filed the resolution calling for Trump to be removed from office.

“There is no reason it shouldn’t be before the Congress,” Sherman told the paper. “Every day, Donald Trump shows that leaving the White House would be good for our country.”

Sherman’s resolution calls for Trump to be impeached for “threatening, and then terminating” former FBI Director James Comey because Comey was “conducting one or more investigations into Russian state interference in the 2016 campaign,” the Daily Mail reported.

He says he may add additional articles later, but wanted to file the first document as a challenge to his Democratic colleagues who have yet to express their support for pursuing impeachment. “Every member of the House will have to address whether there are formal articles of impeachment pending,” he told the LA Times….

Here’s a delayed partial victory!

Appeals court sides with Trump on transgender military ban
BY REBECCA KHEEL – 01/04/19 10:41 AM EST

A federal appeals court on Friday overturned a lower court’s ruling blocking President Trump’s ban on transgender people serving in the military from taking effect.

The ruling hands Trump a win in a case that has seen several courts block the policy. But the policy still cannot take effect because of those other injunctions, which applied nationwide.

The ongoing Democrats’ wanting to usurp Trump is a given. Reading tea leaves or a crystal ball is not needed to divine this, an accelerated witch hunt to impeach Trump is a known and obvious fact. There are, also, Republicans, RINOS, who are of the same perfidy who, like the Democrats, are hell-bent on wresting the Presidency from Trump. It started with the Republican nomination and continued unfettered to this day.

The Republic’s citizenry will either rise-up against this conspiracy set upon Trump or whimper in obedience to the totalitarian, anti-Republic subversives. The time is nearing when patriotic Americans will inform the world; they are not whimpering quitters like the EU and others of the alleged democracies.

I doesn’t. He has been clear he never had n affair with “horse face”.
Michael Cohen’s job for 75K a year was to take care of garbage and he offered her some money to go away, she signed the check, cashed it and signed an NDA. These nuisance law suits happen all the time. Trump’s money was used and had nothing to do with campaign money. It’s ridiculous.

What I’d like to know is details about the DC SEX SLUSH FUND!

All this circus against Trump only benefits Trump while the people suffer:
Social media for example Saudi Arabia controlling Twitter, media & education. These are substantial issues.
This is Muhammadist indoctrination trying to usurp knowledge of truth.
Trump won’t change these issues. He sells weapons to Saudi Arabia.
In Saudi Arabia Africans are enslaved & in the UAE, Oman, Yemen, Kuwait, Lebanon, Bahrain, North-Sudan, Libya, Algeria, Mauritania, Niger, Somalia, Nigeria in emulation of unjust Muhammad who started the global African slave-trade by saying his unproven deity had turned Africans black so Africans’ descendants would be slaves to Arabs & Turks.

Mueller Grand Jury Term Extended Another Six Months…
(It will never end…unless documents are exposed….and Mueller is not letting go of them now due to needing them for their fake ongoing investigations and he is destroying evidence. The excuse of not disclosing truth and hiding behind “sources and methods” is wearing thin.)
Posted on January 4, 2019 by sundance

In December we began to construct the anticipated timeline, and structure, for the weaponization of House committees toward the larger resistance objective to remove their political opposition, namely President Donald Trump.

When the DERANGED “person’s” attempt at destroying the American Constitution fails, should face consequences. THAT “person” should be shown the six-by-ten foot solitary confinement cell for about 50 years. The solitude will not adversely affect the “person” considering that “person” is already inept and has abdicated their OATH of OFFICE!

The capture of the House may well turnout to be a disaster for the Commiecrats. Let’s remember that most of the flipped seats were taken from RINOs who were lukewarm or never Trumpers,and the seats were taken by many Commiecrats posing as “moderates.” The media spectacle that is already unfolding will alienate a large number of voters who were blinded by the Trump bashing of the past years and expose their radical agenda which is to turn the USA into another Cuba or Venezuela. Trump, I am sure will emerge unscathed and triumphant. He has proven that he is a man who can overcome adversity, which only makes him stronger.

The man, President Trump, has courage and a spine of steel.
There are moderate demokkkratic voters that switched to supporting President Trump.
They are finally seeing the arrogance and absolute
disregard demokkkrats like nancy pelosi has for the American, hardworking taxpayers.
We want the WALL, BARRIER, OBSTACLE, INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH FENCE or call it what you
want. Give us the entire $$ 25 Billion. Nancy pelosi is on the losing end on this. I speak as a former
moderate democrat.

So the Democratic leaders refused to listen to a security briefing thus showing that once again they put illegals and criminals over country and citizens. Then they start talking about messing with medicare and want to give it to those who have not earned it and will cost the taxpayers billions of dollars on another insurance scam that Pelosi pulled last time she was speaker of the House. Then they are going to continue to try to make up some case against the President and ignore everything else. The Democrats keep playing these games and their will be no DNC by 2020! .

These people were not elected to run this country, they were elected to take revenge for Hillary’s defeat, so we have to be prepared for the next few years to see gov’t doing nothing they were elected for, but for sure doing much harm to all of us. I cannot predict what will happen, but if Republicans do not do what needs to be done, and the voters do not kick all dimmocraps out of congress we are doomed, we are going to become just another Venezuela. If I wanted to live in such a country I would have moved there on my own,

Well said.
I wish we would have someone on this forum that could inform persons/us of the catastrophic
events that led up to this tragic end (in Venezuela). I try to explain to people the danger of socialism/communism and how it ends up being a tyrannical dictatorship instead of utopia.
Perhaps hearing from someone that lived through it will be more effective.

Cuba will serve as a perfect example, first you change free market to socialism and then to dictatorship because socialism does not give anyone enough power over people. The Soviet Union was a good example, they became communist and then they had to develop the gulags to remove those they called “agitators” and then they put many innocents in those gulags.
In Cuba they went straight to communism and to a regime of terror. There is nothing in between – you either have socialism then Venezuela or freedom and free enterprise.

This useless, but very, very expensive (for taxpayers) political class, the SWAMP, was NOT elected to
go to Washington D.C. to waste money on fabricated investigations of innocent people.
If investigations is want they must do, I absolutely want nancy pelosi investigated. I want to know where
every penny she earned since arriving in Washington D.C., came from. The madwoman maxine waters
must also be investigated etc. There are literally hundreds of politicians, demokkkrats and republicans
like paul ryan, mitch mcconnell and others that has become multi-millionaires on “government salaries”.
