Well Elizabeth Warren who TAUGHT LAW AT HARVARD, read the Mueller Report. She is CALLING for TRUMP'S IMPEACHMENT PUBLICLY.

AND THIS IS HOW THE PATHETIC RIGHT IS SPINNING THE ANNOUNCEMENT.

U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren on Friday called for impeachment proceedings against President Trump — becoming the first major presidential candidate to take the leap after the release of the Mueller report

The 2020 hopeful’s bold, headline-grabbing push comes as she’s tanked in the polls. Warren said special counsel Robert Mueller’s report — released in redacted form Thursday — showed “a hostile foreign government attacked our 2016 election to help Donald Trump and Donald Trump welcomed that help.” Once elected, Warren said Trump “obstructed the investigation into that attack.”

Warren said, “The severity of this misconduct demands that elected officials in both parties set aside political considerations and do their constitutional duty. That means the House should initiate impeachment proceedings against the President of the United States.”

She added, “To ignore a president’s repeated efforts to obstruct an investigation into his own disloyal behavior would inflict great and lasting damage on this country, and it would suggest that both the current and future presidents would be free to abuse their power in similar ways.”

Warren issued her call for impeachment proceedings in the Democratic-controlled House on Twitter, later releasing the statement through her presidential campaign. She became the first major 2020 Democratic hopeful to actually call for impeachment in the wake of the Mueller report — though Julián Castro tweeted, “I think it would be perfectly reasonable for Congress to open up impeachment hearings against President Trump.”

Ronna McDaniel, chairwoman of the Republican National Committee, fired back at Warren on Twitter, saying Trump “was just exonerated after TWO YEARS of Democratic lies.”

“Democrats’ calls for impeachment have been bogus all along, but Elizabeth Warren is proving how truly desperate they are to appeal to their radical base,” McDaniel said.

Warren continues to lag in polls of the Democratic presidential contenders, showing single-digit support, well behind Bernie Sanders and even the undeclared Joe Biden.

U.S. Sen. Mitt Romney was among the few Republicans to speak out critically of Trump after the Mueller report release, saying Friday he was “sickened at the extent and pervasiveness” of the “dishonesty and misdirection” of individuals in the Trump administration and the president himself. Romney has had a tumultuous relationship with Trump — welcoming his endorsement in the 2012 election, then repudiating him in the 2016 election, before meeting with him to discuss possibly becoming his secretary of state. As a senator, Romney has become critical of Trump again.

Mueller found insufficient evidence that Trump or his associates colluded with Russia during the 2016 presidential election. But he did not exonerate Trump on whether the president committed obstruction of justice.

  • Teaching Law at Harvard is actually more of a hindrance than an asset. Harvard is one of those institutions living on past glory and accomplishment. Now, you must leave your common sense and reason at the door. (Along with any connections you may have had with reality). If Elizabeth Warren is what passed for an instructor in law, then Harvard is truly a place to shun. Interpretation of the law carries with it a lot more responsibility than applying your leftist ideology to determine which laws will be adhered to and which will be discarded. No, Sen Warren is no John Marshall, she doesn't even measure up to Earl Warren at his absolute worst. Sen Warren is no better nor any more disciplined  than the baying hounds that are used by lynch mobs to enforce their special forms of legal interpretation. Speaking as one of the "deplorables" of the "pathetic" right, where in Hell has Warren been for the last two years?? People have been publicly calling for impeachment at least that long. In fact, that's the excuse the Democrats have used for not having an answer or solution to anything of importance since the mid terms. That is, the things that matter to the saner segments of society.

    Hee hee.

    I got as far as the first sentence.

    Trump loves you.  He does.  You are his equal.  In strength of conviction as well as education.  Your zealotry is worthy of a Trump Medal of Freedom and just as worthwhile. 

    Sigh.

    Your user name is the same as one of the most popular present-day English idioms used to express the concept of arguing against something without actually being committed to the contrary view.

    So...do you actually believe what you post?...or are you just trolling as the Urban Dictionary defines the word:  (verb), as it relates to internet, is the deliberate act, (by a Troll – noun or adjective), of making random unsolicited and/or controversial comments on various internet forums with the intent to provoke an emotional knee jerk reaction from unsuspecting readers to engage in a fight or argument

    This is a sincere believer of what he says.  He believes he has a point.  I let him rattle on, so I can study the BASE and all it's colorful characters.  They all share the same ability.  No matter what the subject:   (a fun game.... guess which category of denial the BASE is in?  Answer, the last definition.  The bottom rung.

    Well sooner or later she will be reading the full report and with her Harvard law experience I`m sure she will find lots of things that were blacked out that shouldn't of been blacked out then she will get Barr fired or what every they do to a AG that serves for president instead of the people. Cheers and happy weekend!

    While I have a lot of agreement with Warren’s assessment of Trump, impeachment won’t get very far given the Republican Senate. It won’t remove him from office. It would cost the Dems politically. 
    The endless legal machinations would end any prospect of passing legislation the voters want, before the next election. I say get on with the people’s business,  Trump will do enough on his own to sink himself. He can’t help it. 

    It will be up to the voters themselves to oust Trump, making a referendum of his immoral character and deceitful reign of misrule. This post was edited by Don Barzini at April 21, 2019 12:30 PM MDT

    I can only be ashamed I live in the same state with such a person and with those who would elect such a person.
