Trump Reacts to Impeachment and Issues a Warning to Democrats; Trump Tears up the Clinton Impeachment Playbook; Dems Trying to Impeach Trump Still Show up to His Christmas Party

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Townhall. Speaking from the Oval Office Friday afternoon during a meeting with Paraguay President Abdo Benítez, President Trump reacted for the first time to Democrats on the Judiciary Committee approving two articles of impeachment against him.

“It’s a witch hunt, it’s a sham, it’s a hoax. Nothing was done wrong. Zero was done wrong. I think it’s a horrible thing to be using the tool of impeachment, which is supposed to be used in an emergency and it would seem many many years apart, to be using this for a perfect phone call where the President of that country [Ukraine] said there was no pressure, didn’t even know what we were talking about, it was perfect, the relationship was perfect, I’ve done much more for them than Obama did for them,” he said. “It’s a scam, it’s something that should not be allowed and it’s a very bad thing for our country and you are trivializing impeachment and I’ll tell you what, someday they’ll be a Democrat president and they’ll be a Republican house and I suspect they’re going to remember it.”

“When you use impeachment for absolutely nothing other than to try and get political gain, now with that being said, as you know my poll numbers have been through the roof. Fundraising for the Republican Party has gone through the roof, we’re setting records…because the people are disgusted. People are absolutely disgusted,” he continued. “I’ve watched these Democrats make fools of themselves. Absolutely fools of themselves.”

President Trump also noted that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was “duped” in an interview during POLITICO’s Women Rule Summit in Washington D.C. this week. During questioning she admitted House Democrats have been trying to impeach him for nearly three years. (Read more from “Trump Reacts to Impeachment and Issues a Warning to Democrats” HERE)

Trump Tears up the Clinton Impeachment Playbook

By Politico. After the House Judiciary Committee voted to approve articles of impeachment, the president strode to a White House microphone, declared “profound remorse” for his actions and begged forgiveness.

“What I want the American people to know, what I want the Congress to know, is that I am profoundly sorry for all I have done wrong in words and deeds,” he said.

The year was 1998. The president was Bill Clinton. A banner headline in The New York Times the next day read “Panel, on party lines, votes impeachment; Clinton voices remorse, invites censure.

Twenty one years and one day after that print edition, the same committee again voted along party lines to impeach a president. But this time, the man in the Oval Office sent a different message. (Read more from “Trump Tears up the Clinton Impeachment Playbook” HERE)

House Dems Attend Trump’s Holiday Party Amid Impeachment

By Axios. Half a dozen House Democrats attended the White House Congressional Ball last night while their colleagues on the Judiciary Committee worked late into the night on articles of impeachment, according to two sources familiar with the event. . .

Antonio Delgado (NY-19): Trump won the district in 2016. Delgado is a first-term congressman and defeated a Republican incumbent in a close contest. Delgado is also the first African-American or Hispanic representative from upstate New York. His staff did not respond to requests for comment.

Susie Lee (NV-3): Trump won the district in 2016. Lee is a first-term congresswoman who managed to keep the seat in Democrats’ hands in a close general election race. Lee’s staff previously said she’s undecided on impeachment. A spokesperson confirmed that Lee attended the ball, saying it was a way to demonstrate that “she’s committed to being a bipartisan problem solver through and through.”

Elaine Luria (VA-2): Trump won the district in 2016. Luria is Navy veteran and a first-term congresswoman who unseated a Republican incumbent in a tight race. Her staff did not respond to requests for comment.

Fox News Host Chris Wallace Escalated the Network’s War With Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Fox News host Chris Wallace says US President Donald Trump has launched the most sustained attack on press freedom in the country’s history.

“I believe that President Trump is engaged in the most direct sustained assault on freedom of the press in our history,” Wallace said on Wednesday night, according to The Guardian.

He made the comments at the Newseum, a museum about the media industry and free expression in Washington, DC, at an event celebrating the First Amendment. The event was also a farewell for the Newseum, which is closing at the end of the year.

“He has done everything he can to undercut the media, to try and delegitimize us, and I think his purpose is clear: to raise doubts when we report critically about him and his administration that we can be trusted,” Wallace said.

He also discussed “fake news,” a phrase that originally referred to intentionally false information but was co-opted by Trump during his presidential campaign to disparage the legitimate news media. (Read more from “Fox News Host Chris Wallace Escalated the Network’s War With Trump” HERE)

WATCH: 14-Year-Old Boy Brutally Beaten on School Bus Over His Support for President Trump

/0 Comments/in , , /by

A 14-year-old boy was hospitalized last month after being beaten by multiple suspects on his ride home from school. According to a parent of the unnamed victim, he was attacked for voicing his support for President Donald Trump and for wearing a “Make American Great Again” hat. . .

In a Twitter post from Nov 21, an individual purporting to be the boy’s parent wrote, “I am sitting in the hospital with my 14 year old kid because he was just jumped by 8 black kids on the school bus, I guess that’s what happens when a kid wears a #Trump hat to school.” The parent added, “earlier in the day they poured milk all over his head.”

In a follow-up tweet on Thursday, the parent posted video footage of the beating, saying, “My attorney @FoyeWalkerPA said it’s okay to release the video,” and warned that it is graphic.

Liberal Media are Fearing Democrats Might Have Blown Up Their Impeachment Circus (VIDEO)

/0 Comments/in , /by

I mean this is just great, but it’s also a tad disturbing. The media is so desperate to boot Trump and they’re making it known that they think Democrats might have blown their chances at doing it successfully. I don’t get why; there was no way 67 senators were going to remove Trump. And now that the formal articles have been released, there’s no way. Abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. What weak sauce nonsense is that? And this is on top of the fact that this impeachment push has trashed Democrats in the polls. Not a single top-tier 2020 Democrat is beating Trump in key swing states. In fact, impeachment was never popular in these states, especially in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and Michigan. No one is watching this garbage. No one cares.

And this has triggered the liberal media. From hosts saying that this impeachment moment reminds them of how O.J. Simpson allegedly got away with murder to saying that Trump had brought the nation to the edge of destruction, the feeling that the moment to impeach this man has passed them by is palpable.

Democrats Filing Two Articles of Impeachment Against Trump; Here’s What’s in the Long-Awaited Inspector General’s Report on FISA Abuse

/0 Comments/in , /by

By Daily Wire. House Democrats are expected to reveal two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Tuesday that will be voted on later this month, thus cementing their attempts to remove him from office.

The two articles of impeachment will focus on “abuse of power” and “obstructing Congress,” The Washington Post reported.

During Democrats’ impeachment hearings last week on the House Judiciary Committee, liberal Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz noted that the idea that a president could be impeached for “abuse of power” was an absurd notion. . .

Noticeably absent from The Post’s report on what Democrats will introduce articles of impeachment on was “bribery,” which is what their entire impeachment effort has centered around as they have claimed that Trump engaged in a quid pro quo with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a July 25 phone call.

CNN reported that Democrats were debating adding a third article of impeachment for “obstruction of justice.” (Read more from “Democrats Filing Two Articles of Impeachment Against Trump” HERE)

Trump Will Be Impeached, but Will Get Reelected Because of It, Oliver North Says

By Fox News. Retired Lt Col. Oliver North revealed his 2020 predictions on Monday as Democrats move forward with the process to draft articles of impeachment against President Trump.

“Here’s my prediction: Number one, the president is going to be impeached,” North said. “Number two, the Senate will not convict him. Number three, he will be reelected in large part because of what they’re doing today, and what they’re about to do with the articles of impeachment. And, number four — it means the Republicans will recapture the U.S. House of Representatives,” North said.

On Monday, the House Judiciary Committee held a hearing for committee lawyers to present evidence in the impeachment case against Trump after House Speaker Nancy Pelosi last week called on lawmakers to proceed with drafting articles of impeachment.

On Fox Nation’s “Deep Dive,” North said Trump’s impeachment was inevitable, though the Republican majority in the Senate would ensure he’d remain in office for the remainder of his term. North also said impeachment will lead fed-up Americans to reelect Trump in 2020.

“They have made a terrible mistake,” he said, warning Democrats that their continued impeachment efforts would have significant ramifications. (Read more from “Trump Will Be Impeached, but Will Get Reelected Because of It, Oliver North Says” HERE)

IG Report Notes Serious Problems in FISA Warrant Process — but No Evidence of ‘Political Bias’ — in Origins of FBI Trump-Russia Probe

By The Blaze. After months of anticipation, the Department of Justice Inspector General’s office released its report on its investigation into the origin of the FBI’s investigation of the Trump campaign in 2016.

In short, the 476-page document report says that Horowitz’s team did not find evidence of political bias in the decision to open investigations into the Trump campaign, but did find some serious problems with how FBI personnel went about obtaining warrants under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, also known as FISA, in the process of conducting the investigation. . .

U.S. Attorney John Durham, who is conducting his own investigation into the origins of the FBI investigation, responded to the release of the report with a statement that took issue with Horowitz’s conclusions.

“Our investigation has included developing information from other persons and entities, both in the U.S. and outside of the U.S,” Durham said. “Based on the evidence collected to date, and while our investigation is ongoing, last month we advised the Inspector General that we do not agree with some of the report’s conclusions as to predication and how the FBI case was opened.”

After the report’s release, House Oversight Committee Ranking Member Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) said after the release that “there are many lingering questions” and called on Democratic House leaders to “convene hearings with Inspector General Horowitz as soon as possible.” (Read more from “IG Report Notes Serious Problems in FISA Warrant Process — but No Evidence of ‘Political Bias’ — in Origins of FBI Trump-Russia Probe” HERE)

The Next Democrat President Must Be Impeached

/0 Comments/in , , /by

I am of the opinion that the next Democrat president must be impeached.

That’s the only way to stop this.

If the Republicans control the House, they must impeach the next Democrat President to ensure this sort of thing is never repeated.

The next Democrat President must be impeached? What are grounds? It doesn’t matter.

With Trump, they were talking impeachment when he was a candidate. They were talking impeachment the day he got elected. I told you, this is all sham. It’s a scam. It’s a ruse.

The only way to stop them is to turn the political and impeachment guns on them.

The next Democrat president must be impeached.

The Republican Congress can take a page from Nadler, from Waters, from Engel, from Schiff and all the rest.

They should issue scores and scores of subpoenas. Scores of subpoenas, for financial information, for bank records, for tax information; all kinds of communications with, around and about the president; issue subpoenas for the president’s White House Counsel, Chief of Staff, National Security Adviser, and other people who are closest to the president so he ceases to function.

You want to burden this Democrat president as much as possible. You want to undermine him as much as possible.

And you can wave around the Pelosi doctrine, the Schiff doctrine, the Nadler doctrine, and all the rest of them. Use their rules and take him down.

Do the Republicans have the guts to do so? I doubt it, but they must.

It is the only way to fix the Constitutional order when it comes to impeachment, because the Democrats are creating this precedent.

Now let them eat it.

Joe Biden would be the perfect Democrat president to be impeached.

Start subpoenaing all of his records; all of his phone calls with Ukraine, all of his phone calls with Red China.

You bring Hunter Biden in for 30 hours of secret testimony, like they brought Don Jr. in.

You create a special counsel, the way they created a special counsel against President Trump.

You demand Joe Biden testify in person and, when he refuses, you claim he has something to hide.

Imagine using their tools and their rhetoric against their guy. Or gal, it could be Elizabeth Warren, another liar. She’s another one with interesting finances. Well, we want to get to the bottom of it.

The next Democrat president must be impeached.

And Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff and Nadler and the others; CNN, the Washington Post, the New York Times, ABC and the others; they have all laid the foundation.

And the only way to stop this is to destroy their foundation with their guy or their lady.

WATCH: President Trump Tells Large Crowd That Jesus Christ Is the True Meaning of Christmas

/0 Comments/in , /by

On Thursday night, President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump told a large crowd gathered in Washington, D.C., for the lighting of the National Christmas Tree that the biblical story of the birth of Jesus Christ is the true meaning of the holiday season.

“In 1923, President Calvin Coolidge lit the first National Christmas tree,” Trump said, according to a transcript of his remarks shared by LifeSiteNews. “Later that night, African-American community centers held an outdoor worship service on these grounds, and during that service the Washington Monument was illuminated with a beautiful cross, a powerful reminder of the meaning of Christmas.”

As the president noted, the tradition of lighting a national Christmas tree began in 1923 when President Calvin Coolidge lit a 48-foot fir tree as a quartet from the U.S. Marine Band performed, according to the official ceremony’s website. This year’s 30-foot evergreen tree is located in the northeast quadrant of The Ellipse near the White House and decorated 450 white star ornaments and over 50,000 lights. . .

In his remarks, Trump also recognized the efforts of volunteers and military service members who serve American families during the Christmas season and highlighted the work of the Salvation Army. “Each year through their Angel Tree program, the Salvation Army brings new gifts to more than 600,000 children,” he noted before concluding the ceremony.

Trump added: “At Christmas we remember this eternal truth: Every person is a beloved child of God. As one grateful nation we praise the joy of family, the blessings of freedom, and the miracle of Christmas.” (Read more from “VIDEO: President Trump Tells Large Crowd That Jesus Christ Is the True Meaning of Christmas” HERE)

Democratic Lawmaker: ‘I Am Struggling’ to See a Case for Impeachment; Trump Declines to Take Part in ‘Baseless’ House Impeachment Inquiry; Trump Rips CNN Report About Device He Uses for Official Calls

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By Washington Examiner. Several moderate Democratic House representatives are balking at impeaching President Trump as they worry doing so will have severe political consequences.

One anonymous member said he is “struggling” to see the case for impeachment and expressed concern that all of the information being used to draft articles of impeachment is “secondhand,” according to CNN.

The anonymous admissions from Democratic lawmakers comes nearly two weeks after Democratic Rep. Brenda Lawrence of Michigan told a local radio host she favors censure over impeachment. Lawrence walked back that statement after it hit national news, and she pledged to support impeachment.

“I would say, ‘Look, I am concerned about not knowing what the articles will have in them. I am concerned about the timeline of this whole impeachment process,'” one Democratic lawmaker said. “For me, right now, I am struggling to see how the evidence supports impeachment at this point.” (Read more from “Democratic Lawmaker: ‘I Am Struggling’ to See a Case for Impeachment” HERE)

Trump Declines to Take Part in ‘Baseless’ House Impeachment Inquiry

By NPR. President Trump has decided to stay out of the impeachment inquiry being conducted by the House of Representatives.

White House counsel Pat Cipollone rejected an offer from House Democrats that would have allowed the president to send counsel to represent him at future impeachment hearings.

In a short two-paragraph letter to Democrats, Cipollone said the impeachment inquiry is “completely baseless and has violated basic principles of due process and fundamental fairness.”

“House Democrats have wasted enough of America’s time with this charade,” Cipollone said. “You should end this inquiry now and not waste even more time with additional hearings.” (Read more from “Trump Declines to Take Part in ‘Baseless’ House Impeachment Inquiry” HERE)

Trump Rips ‘Fake News’ CNN, Demands Retraction over Report He Still Uses Personal Cellphone

By Fox News. President Trump went after CNN on Friday night after the anti-Trump network reported that he still uses a personal cellphone, which he insisted is “totally false.”

CNN reported on-air during “Out Front with Erin Burnett” that “multiple officials” from the Trump administration have told the network that the president continues to use his personal device to make phone calls “despite repeated warnings” by his staff and that he “doesn’t care.”

White House correspondent Kaitlan Collins told CNN anchor Erin Burnett that Trump had been repeatedly warned that his calls could be vulnerable to “foreign surveillance,” which had been a concern of the staff “since he took office” and how the ongoing impeachment inquiry has “revived” such concerns.

Moments later, the president took to Twitter and blasted the report.

The Supreme Court Temporarily Blocked Trump’s Bid to Restart Federal Executions

/0 Comments/in , /by

The Supreme Court dealt a temporary setback Friday to the Trump administration’s bid to revive the death penalty after a 17-year hiatus, refusing the government’s request to clear the way for four federal executions a lower court judge put on hold.

The high court did not disclose the vote count or its reasoning, as is typical of orders of this nature. However, the justices did instruct the lower courts to speedily process the dispute.

“We expect that the Court of Appeals will render its decision with appropriate dispatch,” Friday’s order reads. Justice Samuel Alito put a finer point on that directive in a statement accompanying the decision, which Justices Neil Gorsuch and Brett Kavanaugh joined.

“The Court has expressed the hope that the Court of Appeals will proceed with ‘appropriate dispatch,’ and I see no reason why the Court of Appeals should not be able to decide this case, one way or the other, within the next 60 days,” Alito’s opinion reads. “The question, though important, is straightforward and has already been very ably briefed in considerable detail by both the Solicitor General and by the prisoners’ 17-attorney legal team.”

The Trump administration resumed executions after a near-20 year reprieve in July. Attorney General William Barr directed the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to use a single-drug pentobarbital lethal injection protocol for capital punishment, which was at issue in the case before the high court.

WATCH: Dem Rep. Says They’ll Never Stop Trying to Impeach Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Democratic Texas Rep. Al Green said Thursday that House Democrats could impeach President Donald Trump multiple times.

Green said in a C-SPAN interview that a “president can be impeached more than once” and that there is “no limit” to the number of times the House can vote on impeachment.

“I think that the Mueller report has some issues in it that ought to be considered. I think the obstruction of the Comey investigation has issues that should be considered, and I think the invidious discrimination that I have called to the attention of the public ought to be considered,” Green said. . .

“My hope is we will expand this and take up additional issues. I would also say this for your viewers, for edification purposes — a president can be impeached more than once. So we can do this — we can move forward with what we have on the table currently. We can take this before the Senate, and we can still investigate other issues, and when the president has committed additional offenses — and my suspicion is that he will — we can take those before the Senate,” he continued.
