The official "let's impeach Trump" thread

On Wednesday night, Fox News host Tucker Carlson actually agreed with many media outlets and admitted that President Trump has been less than truthful with the American people. According to the Washington Post, as of last month, Trump had told over 13,000 false or misleading statements since taking office, including claims by the president and those in his administration that his was the largest inaugural crowd in U.S. history. After nearly three years, Carlson refuted that claim.

“We’re not gonna lie to you, that was untrue,” Carlson said. “The crowd at the 2017 inauguration was not the largest ever measured at the National Mall. Sorry, it wasn’t. Why did the president claim that it was? Well, because that’s who he is.” Carlson went on to say, “Donald Trump is a salesman, he’s a talker, a boaster, a booster, a compulsive self-promoter. At times he’s a full-blown BS artist.”

And though it may seem Carlson was trashing the president, he was actually making the case that it’s okay for Trump to be untruthful because “that’s who he is."

Not much of a surprise here, although I was assured that the IG report was going to be damning for the Russia investigation.

There is some factual basis in the Fox business that some young "turks" are assuming more control from the old guard. Fox is moving liberal, to be cool and with it generally. This is nothing but what anyone should expect, it's "The Way Things Are". However, some other conservative platforms are gaining steam and filling up the slack.

I think Carlson is the BS artist, as much as anyone.....

Conservative organization Republicans for the Rule of Law has called out President Donald Trump with yet another critical ad.

In its new 32-second clip released online Wednesday, the group questions the White House’s refusal to allow key witnesses in the Ukraine scandal to testify before Congress in the impeachment inquiry that targets Trump.

“These witnesses must testify,” the voiceover says of Trump’s personal attorney Rudy Giuliani, White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and former National Security Adviser John Bolton.

“What is Trump afraid of?” the narrator adds.

The ad is slated to air on Fox News’ flagship morning show “Fox & Friends” for several days.

Republicans for the Rule of Law executive director Sarah Longwell said in a statement that the House impeachment hearings “have presented startling evidence” that Trump “abused his power, strong-arming a foreign government to interfere on his behalf in the upcoming election, and damaging national security in the process.”

“The president denies the allegations, but won’t let key administration officials ― including Vice President Mike Pence, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Energy Secretary Rick Perry, and White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney ― testify to Congress,” Longwell added. “If the president did nothing wrong, what does he have to hide? If they tell the truth, what is he afraid of? Most importantly, will Republicans in Congress allow the president to simply ignore their constitutionally mandated oversight role?”

no evidence that the FBI spied on Trump's campaign

There it is.

Google it


False. Extremely False.

You aren't a lawyer, you haven't worked in law, apparently.

The MSM liars used some very careful words, and then deliberately converted to an actual falsehood.

The true statement was that the FBI did not actually implant agents within the Trump campaign. What they did do was criminal misconduct in their official actions. They lied to the FISA court, to get the warrant to listen in on email and phone to Carter Paige..... and then by the one hop rule, to anyone they ever contacted. That one hop meant they were listening in to everyone on Trumps team.

The next criminal thing they did was illegally confide that information to persons who could use it in the DNC campaign.

Look, Harambe. I know of quite a few criminal actions by federal employees in their official actions. It's an extensive problem we have got to prosecute. It affects people in the BLM, even. Damn straight.

The Republican party does not have a Pelosi cracking the whip over marginal or dissident loyalists. Many Rs are involved in and willing to go along with a lot of the more progressive agenda.... and generally with the deeply convinced believers in stuff Trump just says no way to. So I don't give them credit for being objective or truthful. Let alone loyal.

as his true believers swallow hook line and sinker, his propagandist tells it like it is.

evidence or is this just more lies?
 
When people criticize the impeachment hearings for failing to persuade Repubs to turn on Great Leader, keep this in mind:
