Even though he's the first Repub outta the gate to call for impeachment, Amash is just another grandstander who's eyeballing the Oval Office, and certainly would like to see an implausible impeachment before immigration reform cuts off the deep state's illegal alien spigot, of which he's a supporter (to the point of allowing non-citizens to vote!).Here are my principal conclusions:— Justin Amash (@justinamash) May 18, 2019
1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report.
2. President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct.
3. Partisanship has eroded our system of checks and balances.
4. Few members of Congress have read the report.
Well, Amash couldn't even muster Mittens to jump on that bandwagon. But the President is a big boy, and handled it as usual...
McCarthy also gave similar GOP response, also alluding to Amash's libertarian sights. He might as well, because his odds of being reelected to the House are shot with a primary challenge coming less than 48 hours after opening his mouth.Never a fan of @justinamash, a total lightweight who opposes me and some of our great Republican ideas and policies just for the sake of getting his name out there through controversy. If he actually read the biased Mueller Report, “composed” by 18 Angry Dems who hated Trump,....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 19, 2019....he would see that it was nevertheless strong on NO COLLUSION and, ultimately, NO OBSTRUCTION...Anyway, how do you Obstruct when there is no crime and, in fact, the crimes were committed by the other side? Justin is a loser who sadly plays right into our opponents hands!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 19, 2019
As one of my buddies pointed out, no one who has a shred of integrity can take Amash seriously...Michigan state Rep. Jim Lower made his intentions known Monday morning, announcing that instead of seeking a third term in the state legislature, he will run against Amash for their party’s nomination for the 2020 election. Amash has served as the representative for Michigan’s Third District since 2011.
“Congressman Justin Amash tweets yesterday calling for President Trump’s impeachment show how out of touch he is with the truth and how out of touch he is with people he represents,” Lower said...
Amash has done great damage to his chances for reelection and there are no doubt many in his district quite disappointed in him. GOP Chariwoman Ronna McDaniel points out that Amash’s district strongly supports Trump.
Voters in Amash’s district strongly support this President, and would rather their Congressman work to support the President's policies that have brought jobs, increased wages and made life better for Americans.— Ronna McDaniel (@GOPChairwoman) May 19, 2019
How is it that he can look past all the spying on and lying about the Trump campaign, which began before he was even elected? The Obama administration and the Democrat Party willfully and unlawfully used the DoJ under AG Lynch, the FBI under Comey, the NIA under Clapper, and likely the CIA under Brennan to spy, undermine and defame a private American citizen who happened to be up for a presidential election. They colluded with foreign parties, deceived the FISA court, unlawfully leaked information to the media, lied under oath to Congress, failed to follow government policies and procedures, and improperly used government offices in a conspiratorial and nefarious operation to illegally influence and later endeavor to undermine a U.S. election. These deep state actors have committed multiple crimes in bad faith against the Constitution in what can be described as a silent coup against a legitimate and duly-elected President.But, no, let's overlook ALL of that to target one of own who happens to be the President?! You not only have to question this guy's motivation, but there's a concurrent observation to note: This is the kind of crap that continues to illustrate the internecine struggle that handicaps the Republican Party every time, handing power back to an even more corruptible bunch among Dems.
