Harvard Constitutional Scholar Calls For Trump Impeachment Probe

Harvard Constitutional Scholar Calls For Trump Impeachment Probe
The “authoritarian” president “interfered with an investigation involving national security,” writes Laurence Tribe.
By Mary Papenfuss 05/13/2017 08:59 pm ET

A top Harvard constitutional law professor is calling for an impeachment investigation into Donald Trump for obstruction of justice, branding the president’s firing of FBI Director James Comey as an “obvious effort to interfere with a probe involving national security.”

To “wait for the results of the multiple investigations underway is to risk tying our nation’s fate to the whims of an authoritarian leader,” Professor Laurence Tribe wrote in an opinion piece in The Washington Post on Saturday. Tribe added that Trump’s conduct “strongly suggests that he poses a danger to our system of government.”

After Comey’s firing last week, Tribe joined the legal advisory board of Impeach Trump Now, a campaign pushing for an impeachment probe into the president.

“It is now up to Congress to save the Constitution by initiating impeachment proceedings,” Tribe said in a statement Friday when he joined the board. “Trump can’t say ‘You’re fired’ to the House of Representatives.”

and getting as many friends involved too. Every conservative running for election or re-election for Congress and the Senate must be challenged

---letters to the editor

---tweets on their twitter accounts, facebook postings

and town hall attendance and meetings at their local offices are all a must

We need to make people understand that Trump and the republicans are damn liars and con men and are out to destroy them!

Because fox news and hate radio will be pumping them full of lies that it's all Obama/Hillary/godless democrats fault 24/7!
