George Conway: Trump is right. We might have to impeach him again.

[Soph0571]

If this were a criminal investigation, and Alexander Vindman and Sondland had given their testimony to a grand jury, this Friday Night Massacre could have been a crime. At the very least, it ought to be impeachable: If Richard M. Nixon was to be impeached for authorizing hush money for witnesses, and Trump himself was actually impeached for directing defiance of House subpoenas, then there should be no doubt that punishing witnesses for complying with subpoenas and giving truthful testimony about presidential misconduct should make for a high crime or misdemeanor as well.
-----
And he’ll only get worse. Narcissistic leaders such as Trump always do. As we’ve now seen, his rage leads to retribution and misconduct, which beget more criticism, and more investigation, and even more rage, retribution and misconduct. Over and over again.

So America beware: The state is Trump, and he’s very, very angry. We might, indeed, have to do it again.

Emphasis mine

And again and again and again. As many times as it takes. He is an outrage.

[Iliyah]

1. Agreed . . .

but hopefully he will drive himself to a no return from a silent dark room for one.

[fleur-de-lisa]

2. I'm okay with that.

[Rider3]

3. Really?

And, he's married to Kellyanne Conway? It's hard to believe he is so mortified while Kellyanne is so jovial. Unless and until Conway takes action, he can write in opposition all he wants. No one cares at this point. The crook got off and probably will again. Trump sold his soul and the country.

[andym]

13. He has been taking action as a co-founder of Republicans for the Rule of Law group

that is running anti-Trump ads nationally. He may be a conservative ideologue, but unlike most who just play follow the leader, it appears he despises Trump's perversion of the Republican Party.

[Skittles]

18. yes

and seriously, no kind of kompromat could be worse than being married to Kellyanne Conway

[2naSalit]

30. LOL!

[jimfields33]

38. Love is a strange thing

[Thomas Hurt]

4. Sure if we knew we were going to get some ROI...did the impeachment change anyone's mind

anyone who is on the fence that is.

[TeamPooka]

26. Maybe. I think Mitt might have helped a bit at the end there too. He's a moderate's moderate.

[bluestarone]

5. I'm ALL for it!

Let's get it done!

[C_U_L8R]

6. Serial criminals deserve all the impeachments they get.

[ffr]

7. Do it and do it now!

The Kremlin's GOP is at a full-on war with the United States, like this is the last generation that will ever be alive and they're the keepers of all things white.

WTF is wrong with rePuticans???

[Marcuse]

8. Double jeopardy does not apply.

[CrispyQ]

9. And again and again.

He can brag that no other president has been impeached more than him.

[Laelth]

39. He probably would.

It plays to his martyr complex.

-Laelth

[abqtommy]

10. Let's install a revovling door in the House Chanbers!

[CloudWatcher]

11. Four.

I think we should impeach him three more times before the election. I think that's about the right pace.

[bucolic_frolic]

12. Shelf registration Impeachment-of-the-Month Club

Charges quickly and readily identifiable. Saves a bundle on overhead, and saves time. Streamlined, notary-only filing, prepackaged removal.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

14. I have my doubts about impeaching him again

unless he does something really massively egregious, although I'm very concerned about the Barr/DOJ/Guiliani revelation that came out over the weekend. I just doubt that the House, unless they feel strongly about something, are going have the political will to try again, especially with a Republican-controlled Senate that will- in all likelihood- vote down another round of AOIs. While I think that we should have been filing AOIs against him from day 1 for a multitude of things, most impeachment efforts seem to be a one-shot deal and, with an upcoming election in a matter of months- it seems rather unlikely that the House will advance something unless Trump does something so awful that even the Republicans can't ignore/dismiss/vote it down, at which point they'd likely just tell Trump to leave on his own accord, something that he didn't have the decency to afford Vindman. But I can't even imagine how bad it would have to be for the Republicans to do that.

[bucolic_frolic]

15. He won't go voluntarily

That much is a given at this point. I think we're basically waiting for infirmities.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

16. I couldn't ever see him going voluntarily either

But, short of the upcoming election, the only way Trump is leaving is if a massive number of Republicans in the House and Senate turn against him, which has such an extremely low probability of actually happening that I'm not even sure it's worth mentioning.

[EndlessWire]

19. I want him impeached again.

I'm guessing Trump told Barr to get ready for arrests, and Barr told Graham. And Graham, all giddy with excitement, told the media. My fear is, he will charge everyone with Treason under the Patriot act.

We can't sit here because we don't want to go through it again. Like it or not, a second impeachment with more charges and evidence might sway some Repubs. At the very least, it will keep Trump busy while we get business done.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

22. I don't disagree and would gladly see the House throw more AOIs against him

Realistically, it probably won't happen again unless he wins re-election and continues on his present destructive course. At this point, it's important to keep the investigations going on him and his minions and see if anything particularly nasty bubbles to the surface as potentially impeachable, but, with as cautious as Pelosi and other top Dems were about even doing one Impeachment, I can't see them rushing to do another one that would be more or less doomed to failure. Plus, another trial could put one of the nominees out of commission at an even worse time- i.e. trying to win the GE.

[usaf-vet]

20. "Unless he does something really massively egregious". Ya! let's wait until he launches a Nuclear...

.... weapon! My God, there is no telling how far this maniac would go. I'm not sure the repugs would see that as impeachable as long as the money keeps flowing to their coffers and he continues to stack the federal benches. What's a loose nuc or two that not to bigly.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

23. We can't just impeach him "just because" we think he *might* do something

If somebody comes out and says he's actually planning to do something like that, then, maybe we'd have that cause to take some action.

[usaf-vet]

25. Remember when the nation was talking about invading Iraq. Bush threaten waiting for a mushroom cloud

Tuesday, October 8, 2002

Bush: Don't wait for the mushroom cloud.

https://edition.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/10/07/bush.transcript/

Preemptive action started a war that blew up the Middle East in which we are still fighting.

[2naSalit]

32. Right?

Just tonight he was chanting the LHU thing for Speaker of the House!!! WTF?!

And Looselips Lindsey was letting slip that some of the House member will be going to jail? On teevee?


He needs to be impeached again because he at least is under a little constraint... maybe not a second time because they WANT a civil war and have expressed as much in the past.

[mr_lebowski]

31. I'd say that if he starred in a video, sitting at the resolute desk in darkness

except for candles burning at the points of a pentagram that surrounded the desk, wearing red makeup and devil horns, and proceeded to drill a hole into a screaming live infants skull, shoving a straw into the hole, sucking it's brains out, and laughing maniacally while dribbling blood from his mouth and emoting in a deep, satanic voice ... "My Names Donald Trump, and I Approve this Message!', then threw the corpse against the wall, smiled broadly and gave the thumbs up ...

Then MOST of the magats would decide they don't much care for him anymore ... if the baby was white.

If the child were black or hispanic ... he'd only lose like 50% of his support. The other 50% remaining would argue that the infant was likely on some sort of ASSISTANCE, maybe even ILLEGAL!!!1!

Since you said you couldn't imagine what it would take ... I thought I'd help out ...

[dchill]

35. I'm not so sure...

[mr_lebowski]

36. I'd be PRETTY sure that extreme of behavior would turn a lot of his followers against him ...

But I mean, that's about the level of fcuked that would be required for any serious movement away from IQ45 by his knuckle-dragging cultists.

[dchill]

37. Either way, I'm pretty sure I don't want to see...

... whatever it would be that turns MAGATs away from Trump.

[groundloop]

17. I guess the solution is to quit mentioning all the bad shit he does

That way he won't get offended, won't rage tweet, won't fire good honest Americans, and won't get any worse.




JUST KIDDING.

[matt819]

21. I had a friend for a while

I had a friend a few years ago. She was a RWer. But she was a friend, and we didn't talk politics. And that was okay(ish). And we weren't partners, so we didn't have to confront each other with our political viewpoints daily.

How does Conway do it? Go home every night to his wife. I don't about all of you, but she disgusts me.

I think he's sincere in his opinions. But with this op-ed I almost think he's trolling. I mean, I agree with him, but is it the right thing to do politically? Pelosi has already made the point. And the Senate won't change, and Trump could kill people (plural) on TV and they would still love him. Probably even more. So what does impeaching repeatedly achieve? That said, I do think the House should have tons and tons of hearings. It should start with how his spawn are making money off of their association with him and the WH. Followed by other subpoenas, refusal of which should result in jail.

[The Wizard]

24. Do it every day

Subpoena his progeny . Subpoena Malaria. Hire Mafia torpedos to scare the shit out of his closest allies. Send him airline tickets to Moscow.

[lunatica]

27. Make him the most impeached President in the history of the world!

[dalton99a]

28. Impeach and make the Senate sit and listen to his crimes. They don't do anything anyway

[2naSalit]

33. +1

And it will keep the Senate from approving more judges!

[Hermit-The-Prog]

29. it's a target-rich environment -- let's do Impeachment of the Month

[moondust]

34. Agree.

Very likely in the next year he'll commit more crimes or drop hints that he wants somebody else to commit them, as Michael Cohen explained.
