Trump Is Using the Obstruction of Justice Accusations That Could End in Impeachment to Fundraise

 

At 5:22 p.m., the New York Times published its history-bending story on James Comey’s memo chronicling his January meeting with Trump and the lengths the president went to in order to put an end to the FBI investigation into Mike Flynn. It was a bombshell of a story that cast serious doubt on the integrity of the president, the soundness of his legal standing, and the firmness of his grip on power. On TV emboldened Democrats began ratcheting up demands for further investigation and floating terms like obstruction of justice and impeachment. It was as serious a moment as you can have in a presidency and it required a serious response, if not some soul-searching, to save not just what remains of the Trump agenda (whatever that is), but the remainder of his term in office. Given the stakes, it had to be played just right by the administration.

 

How did the Team Trump respond? They denied the story (obviously) and then less than an hour after the Times story that all but accused the president of obstructing justice, laying the most significant groundwork to date for impeachment, Team Trump used the accusations impugning the president’s ethical core to, you guessed it, raise money.

Republicans control both chambers of Congress. They are unlikely to pursue impeachment against Trump without overwhelming evidence of wrongdoing in light of how much damage it would do to their own party.

 

Indeed, the only time a party controlling Congress sought to impeach a president in its own ranks was in 1868, when Andrew Johnson warred with “radical” Republicans over how to treat the defeated Southern states after the Civil War. In the cases of Nixon and Clinton, the opposition party controlled Congress.

 

“The allegations against Donald Trump are not legal issues per se,” said Greg Valliere, chief global strategist at Horizon Investments. “Rather it’s all about the number of votes he can muster in the House and Senate — where, we believe, he has enough support to prevail.”

I think he is doing a phenomenal job.

So you are pleased and as of now if he were running again, you would likely vote for him in the Republican primary?

Absolutely! What did he do wrong? The left are out to get him and it's all false allegations. It's actually getting to the point where it's ridiculous. Both Obama and Hillary or both criminals and their completely protected by the lame stream media. Donny is trying to make America great while Obama did his best to destroy and divide the country. Liberalism is a sickness!
