1. Trump @POTUS has now committed, beyond any doubt, an offense of such gross magnitude that impeachment is not only called for, it is essential for preservation of the Republic. In response to Trump's incessant demands, @TheJusticeDept has now, according to the Daily Beast...
2. ...delving back into the @HillaryClinton email nonsense again. This case has been investigated and ended. In even the worst case scenario, nothing can be done because it requires intent. It has been reopened only because the President demands it. These are the actions....
3...of a Banana Republic, where the president uses the levers of power to push for criminal investigations of political opponents. This is known as Abuse of Power. It is well defined under law. President "I dont know the Constitution"'s best buddy, Joe Arpaio, was investigated...
4...by the feds for doing this EXACT same thing: Using the powers of his office to investigate political opponents. No wonder Trump pardoned his brother in crime. We CANNOT allow tribalism to blind us to the fact that we now have a man in office who believes he can break the....
5...law with impunity. The stakes here -- where a president has the power to force open a BS case, one that would require PROVING Clinton knowingly acted to reveal classified information, simply through relentless threats against his prosecutors -- are too high. We cannot....
6...simply because it is our "side" allow America to slip into the standards of Cuba. THIS is the essence of what impeachment is about. Obstruction is a bad crime, and impeachable. But this, Abuse of Power, goes straight to the heart of our Constitution and our country. If we...
7...stand by, GOP or Democrat, and allow the rule of law and the defined powers of the executive branch to be thrown into the toilet based on our politics, then we are nothing. We are not patriots. We are not Americans. We are ignorant residents of a clump of land that stands....
8...for nothing. We are no longer a Beacon on a Hill, although that was sacrificed already. We are just another collection of political opportunists, thirsty for power and willing to do anything to satisfy that desire. Abuse of Power is the single most dangerous and important...
9....impeachable offense any president can engage in. This is bigger than Hillary Clinton -- in truth, I hope Trump follows this through and gets her indicted, because the impeachment proceedings will be unstoppable even to the most spineless Congress. But we are done here....
10...we either stand for something or we stand for nothing. We are either a country that abides by the rule of law and the constitution, that celebrates the best of our law enforcement, that honors our intelligence services, or we are all joining the swill levels of the GOP.....
11...that has turned against those things. And by the swill level, I do NOT mean the GOP. There are three factions now - those who care about nothing but Trump, the spineless ones who care but are too frightened to call him on his actions, and those who speak out. It is time....
12...for the spineless ones to decide: What matters more? The Constitution, this country, or your job? Is appeasing people who care nothing and know nothing about the rule of law what you want? Cowards are not the people schools are named for. Cowards go down in history as....
13...cowards. There needs to be an immediate hearing by the House Judiciary Committee into this abuse of the DOJ to discover how far this has gone. There a special committee formed to commence charges against the president for abuse of power. We are at the crossroads. Are we....
14....captive to a dictator, or are we America? Everyone must make a choice. And if all you care about is chants of "lock her up" and other ignorant nonsense, you are no patriot. You are anti-American.
