#1 Right now, these are merely wet dreams of the unhinged left. They will enlist all the Donks as usual and try to peel off enough RINOS to bring about an impeachment on some B.S. charges such as Russian collusion. Either that or they will wait and try to win the House back and do the same.

Trump needs to turn this around and go on the attack. The Donks are not busy enough. He needs to go after the abundant real corruption/criminality/venality of the last ~~administration~~ gangsta government. If he doesn't drain the swamp it will suck him in and drown him.

#2 He needs to go after the abundant real corruption/criminality/venality of the last administration gangsta government.

Good idea. If they can dig for dirt on him then he should be able to do the same to them and with them there is undoubtedly a helluva lot more dirt to be found.

#4 I nominate a California Senator -
Blum's wife, Senator Dianne Feinstein, has received scrutiny due to her husband's government contracts and extensive business dealings with China and her past votes on trade issues with the country. Blum has denied any wrongdoing, however.[9] Critics have argued that business contracts with the US government awarded to a company (Perini) controlled by Blum may raise a potential conflict-of-interest issue with the voting and policy activities of his wife.[10] URS Corp, which Blum had a substantial stake in, bought EG&G, a leading provider of technical services and management to the U.S. military, from The Carlyle Group in 2002; EG&G subsequently won a $600m defense contract.[1]

In 2009 it was reported that Blum's wife Sen. Dianne Feinstein introduced legislation to provide $25 billion in taxpayer money to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp, a government agency that had recently awarded her husband's real estate firm, CB Richard Ellis, what the Washington Times called "a lucrative contract to sell foreclosed properties at compensation rates higher than the industry norms."[11]

#5 Di would be a good start too. Might wanna look into Feinstein's and Pelosi's connections to Moonbeam's train to nowhere too.

#6 Might want to talk with them quietly and warn them. Stop the bullshit and help me run the country or I will drain the swamp starting with these corruption issues. You might suddenly find cooperation in Congress.

#7 They believe their own rhetoric. There is nothing to impeach him for...

#8 49, I think that some Democrats seem to think that "stealing" the election from Hillary amounts to a high crime. They've been talking impeachment from before Trump was even inaugurated.

#9 Impreachement doesn't even remove the person from office, judging by the Clinton impeachment it can turned the impeached into a martyr (even if guilty).

#10 It's conviction, the next step, that removes from office.

#11 The left has never been a fan of the rule of law. That is why the left packs the court with judges who pointedly ignore the law. And why college campuses ignore free speech and due process (Duke lacrosse team anyone?).

#12 The left is desperate. Over at Drudge and in WAPO, the headline reads "Mueller Probes Obstruction." So Meuller is expanding his investigation beyond the Russian collusion probe. The Russian collusion probe was based on a lie. Comey leaked information to a friend at Columbia Law School to then be leaked to the NYTs to try to set up a Special Counsel. Later, Comey met with Mueller before he testified before the Senate committee.

It would seem appropriate for Mueller to recuse himself from further investigation. It would also seem appropriate to pull the plug on this B.S. ~~investigation~~ fishing expedition and witch hunt. If there is a Special Counsel is established, it ought to be to investigate all the Machiavellian back-biting that is going on to undermine Trump. Another ought to be set up to investigate Obama/the Clintons'/Soros criminality.
