Wow just wow i never thought i would see the day but i guess this one conscience started to bother him. Or possibly TDS which the intellectually lazy would say.

GOP Rep. Amash becomes first Republican calls for Trumps impeachment

GOP lawmaker: Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct
said Saturday he had concluded President Donald Trump committed "impeachable conduct" and accused Attorney General William Barr of intentionally misleading the public.
Amash's comments recommending Congress pursue obstruction of justice charges against Trump were the first instance of a sitting Republican in Congress calling for Trump's impeachment.

Justin Amash is the loneliest Republican in Congress


Amash is a rare GOP critic of Trump and previously said Trump's conduct in pressuring then-FBI Director James Comey could merit impeachment. In a Twitter thread on Saturday, Amash said he believed "few members of Congress even read" special counsel Robert Mueller's report and that the report itself established "multiple examples" of Trump committing obstruction of justice.

"Contrary to Barr's portrayal, Mueller's report reveals that President Trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment," Amash said in a string of messages on Twitter.


While many Democrats have called for impeachment proceedings against Trump, many members of the GOP have agreed with Trump's assertions about the Mueller report and defended his conduct. For his part, Barr said the report established no conspiracy between Trump and Russia and that he and then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein did not believe its findings sufficient to charge Trump with obstruction of justice.
Amash's comments on Saturday with regard to impeachment went further than even many members of House Democratic leadership. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said last Thursday that "every day gives grounds for impeachment," while at the same time arguing that she doesn't want to impeach, though she did not rule out the possibility.
Dive deep into the Mueller report
• Read and search the full report
•CNN found 77 instances of lies and false assertions in Mueller's report. Trump told the greatest number
• 77 lies and falsehoods Mueller called out
• What Trump associates told the public vs. what they told Mueller
• 4 times Barr twisted and cherry-picked Mueller's report



Amash -- a libertarian conservative elected during the Tea Party wave of 2010 -- was a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus, a key bloc of Republicans who worked to shift the GOP caucus to the right on many issues, but in the Trump era, he has found himself breaking with his conservative allies who have embraced the President.
Amash said on Saturday that he made his conclusions "only after having read Mueller's redacted report carefully and completely, having read or watched pertinent statements and testimony, and having discussed this matter with my staff, who thoroughly reviewed materials and provided me with further analysis."
He said Barr misled the public in a range of venues regarding the Mueller report, a charge Democrats and others have made repeatedly that the attorney general has disputed.

just read this in the Washington Post and was ready to post it. R with a backbone and the balls to tell the truth are rare, but we have a few. the WP article claims he said Barr "deliberately misrepresented" the facts. And this is a tea party R.



but this is all "palace intrigue". lol let it ALL play out. this guy could shit on the constitution (literally) attempt to destroy the bill of rights, fight against rule of law, and even commit treason and the fckin crazies would claim--everything is just fine, geez I pay $14 a week less in taxes. you can buy the assholes for the price of a box of chocolates.

How about Mitch and that other asshole saying "we need to move on from the Mueller report" Like somehow Barrs word should be final.

[Thor4140]

wow this guy was was a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus. I wonder how that is going to go over with those fukface Koch brothers

right, move on the assholes. At least a huge number of R during the Nixon fiasco left him. that is what must happen here, once the heat becomes too hot (if that ever happens) then the rats may jump ship. naturally this is all about money and all about power. the asshole party will do everything they can, including corruption, lies, BS and everything else to keep their jobs (with a few honorable exceptions)

I still believe time is on the side of justice, that is all normal people want just justice. the people who oppose all of these investigations they don't want justice. But it was perfectly okay to hound the Clintons for decades and produce zero, nothing. Their head inquisitor said the same, we got nothing. That was perfectly okay.

[d2bets]

I don't agree with his views, but I respect his principled consistency to his views rather than just party.

[deplorable]

Amash has been one of the biggest disgraces to my state of Michigan for a long time. He's just the house's Jeff Flake.

Because he isn't willing to compromise his principles for King Trump? Because he isn't a member of the Cult?

[DwightShrute]

what a snowflake. Barr did his job properly. All the rest is background noise by dishonest politicians and the dumb people on TV.

Trump will be your POTUS until January of of 2025. Period. Pace yourselves accordingly.

[dustyy]

From NBC:

Amash isn't exactly a staunch Trump supporter. He's a libertarian who in February voted with Democrats in Congress in a failed attempt to overturn the president's declaration of emergency at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Meanwhile, dozens of Congressional dems strongly oppose the impeachment route. Hopefully this one "Republican" and the far left wing of the party win out and they take the impeachment path, all but assuring another 4 years of your current president, Donald J. Trump

Hello. The Koch brothers hate Trump too.

Justin Amash is the Jeff Flake of Bob Corker's

Flake and Corker voted with the shitgibbon 81 and 84% of the time, respectively.

More than enough to cause decades of damage.

Look what we have here . A family tool business heavily invested in Chinese manufacturing . Wouldn’t he love to see Trump removed from office .



In his 2017 financial disclosure forms (pdf here), Representative Amash reports income of between $100,000 to $1,000,000/yr. for his ownership stake in Michigan Industrial Tools. Michigan Industrial Tools is the parent company, manufacturing in China, that produces Tekton Tools, Justin Amash’s Michigan family business.



Dynamic Source International and “Michigan Industrial Tools” (financial disclosure) appear as same corporation doing manufacturing in Hangzhou, China. The finished product is then shipped/sold in the U.S. by the Amash family (Justin and his brother Jeff) under the name Tekton Tools.

Dozens of dems against impeachment and they get wood over a Palestinian Libertarian. Let's hope that they can build on this ground swell of opposition from the Pubs because we both know that impeachment would mean reelection for DT

Bashing Republicans now huh “JT and Dustyy”....lol

Don the con is a massive failure, a dope and a criminal.....just face the facts already.

Don't think we have anything to worry about. If there is a way to fuk up an election you guys will do it. Impeachment is just one of the dozens of ways Trump's re-election will be assured.

Do you realize the powers in the dem party are against impeachment. I mean, are you watching any of this stuff or just watching the AOC network known as Fox.

There is nothing to fuxck up. Trump has lost pa, mich, and wisc.....those states are deciding the entire election. The midterms were the clue that should really have made the light bulb go on for you. Believe me, I’m running a republican state rep campaign right now for 2020 in a Republican district in pa.....we know it’s an uphill battle....especially if Biden gets the nomination ....and it’s an R seat. Trump is a terrible drag for us.

Mueller/Vitterd Report was just what I said it was. Trump camp with Russians and trump obstructing. I wrote the Mueller report.

Can you see the enthusiasm from the AOC wing of the party running to the polls on election night for Sleepy Joe ?

Justin Amash is perhaps the most libertarian member of Congress. He would make a good President.

A Biden-Harris ticket could be problematic for the Pubs because they need the urban vote that did not turn out in 2016.

The far left wing of the party will hijack the platform and settle for nothing less than a Harris-Biden ticket or a similar version, something that will never happen.

They will screw it up like they did in 2016. You have to remember, we are dealing with people who actually believe that Comey and the Russians screwed them in 2016. They will never accept the fact that they ran the worst possible candidate and campaign in the history of US history.

Not sure why they are considered Progressives when they keep looking backwards.

He's just another never-trumper who puts politics ahead of logic. America last. He's part of the swamp. Always pretending and talking a good game but when push comes to shove, his true colours get exposed.


Flake, Ryan, Amash, Pelosi, Schumer, Clinton, Beto, Biden, Sanders. Same shit.

Now the Speaker is obligated to bring an impeachment bill to the floor, you would think she has the votes, I wonder what is holding her up.

Politics. Impeachment is bad politics. And the R's will vote against it, so ultimately it won't be sustained. It's the correct thing to do, but it's bad politics. A pandora's box.

actually no he doesn't. not at all.

Obviously he does. You just don't like it because it means he dares to challenge King Trump.

You want Republicans who are subservient to Trump and willing to change their long-held positions to match the King.
