GOP Rep. Amash becomes first Republican to call for Trump's impeachment

This is just the start of the Republicans jumping ship steered by the most crooked President in the History of the Whitehouse:

Michigan GOP Rep. Justin Amash 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.
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.

Here are my principal conclusions:
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.

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.

Democratic Rep. Rashida Tlaib, also of Michigan, responded to Amash's Twitter thread later Saturday and invited him to join her impeachment resolution.

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.
"Barr's misrepresentations are significant but often subtle, frequently taking the form of sleight-of-hand qualifications or logical fallacies, which he hopes people will not notice," Amash said.

Amash said "contrary to Barr's portrayal," Trump's actions "meet the threshold for impeachment" and that anyone without the unique legal protections of the presidency would be facing an indictment.
He argued that it was Congress' role to move forward with impeachment and accused people on both sides of the aisle of political motives, saying they had shifted "their views 180 degrees ... depending on whether they're discussing (former President) Bill Clinton or Donald Trump."
"Our system of checks and balances relies on each branch's jealously guarding its powers and upholding its duties under our Constitution," Amash tweeted. "When loyalty to a political party or to an individual trumps loyalty to the Constitution, the Rule of Law -- the foundation of liberty -- crumbles."

Funny how he doesn't mention what specifically is an impeachable offense. Why hasn't Mueller been brought in front of Congress yet? Why haven't any Un Democrats taken up Barr's offer to read the mostly unredacted version of the Mueller Report?
I think Amash may be doing this to set up himself up for a potential presidential run. He's been a vocal critic of Trump and his policies since the beginning. .
What I find most sickening is that Barr is being dragged through the mud. He's one of the most respected legal minds in the country period.

It took a long time for Nixon to get impeached as well.
This is the first, there will be others.

Some more tidbits on this open border illegal loving Palestinian Rino. There's way more but I won't bore you with it all. Just a sample

According to Justin Amash’s financial disclosure forms, Amash is a co-owner of Dynamic Source International, a Chinese company that supplies Michigan Industrial Tools.

Dynamic Source Int is located in Hangzhou, China.

No wonder Justin Amash’s been attacking Trump’s Tariffs! Just another RINO scumbag getting paid by China. Nothing to see here foilks.

Amash was one of the founding members of the House Freedom Caucus in 2010. Pretty sad to see what he has morphed into.

Tell that to the ones who said get behind Clinton to the Sanders Supporters.

And who are now saying the same thing about criticizing Biden's previous policy positions as "hurting the party".

Remember Republicans did impeach Nixon. But Dems refused to impeach Clinton.

Amash was literally the ONLY Republican to vote with DemoKKKrats to allow illegals to vote. He's a communist loving rino which is why the left is now embracing him. The left loves them their commies.
https://thepoliticalinsider.com/house-democrats-just-voted-in-support-of-allowing-illegal-immigrants-to-vote/

Literally nothing honorable about him at all. Allowing illegals to vote is UN constitutional nevermind the fact that he's nothing but a paid Chinese vendor in the United States

Everyone has read the Mueller report. Expert Constitutionalist have read that whole report with a fine-tooth comb. Every Republican member on the Senate Intel Committee has read that report. News Flash - NO COLLUSION and NO obstruction to a crime that never took place to begin with.

They are running scared. Amashs' business is going to go down the tubes once Chinese tariffs kick in and we already know what the dirty dems are running scared for.

He also tried to oppose Trump for his 2020 run. What a dreamer! Nobody knows who the hell he is lol.

What had that to do with the rule of law or constitution?
Your quote was about nation over party. At this point neither party has the moral authority to make that argument.

There are no allegations that the dems are breaking the law or the constitution, only Trump.
Your argument is nonsense.

LOL... Barr is a paid schill who lies for Trump. His legal mind has been purchased and there is nothing respectable about that.

Amash has a lot more credibility than Trump. Funny how the right wingers are trying to put him down by calling him a Communist etc etc. If he had Chinese connections so did Ivanka Trump and her line of products that received trademarks etc from China. Obviously she had to close the brands after their failures.

Barr should have recused himself from that investigation, as his extreme and ridiculous attacks on Mueller and his investigation prior to being appointed as the AG was disgusting. It is a good thing that Amash has the balls to call him out for what he is unlike the rest of the Banana Republicans that know in their hearts that Trump was definitely crooked in all his dealings. Mitt Romney agreed with Amash on most matters, except that he did not go as far as saying that Trump should be impeached.

Huge difference between what Nixon was due to be impeached for, and how Clinton was impeached.

Biden is gaining more and more support, even from the Republican supporters. Opinion polls has put him even around ten points ahead in primaries that Trump had won handily in the 2016 elections.

You love making your case for the corrupt Banana Republicans. When are they going to use their conscience, and agree to impeach this criminal POTUS??

When there is reason too? Not liking politics and tweets is no reason too. Clinton committed Perjury and wasn't convicted. Past business deals are not cause either.

So what's left?

Why further polarize the nation? Let the election happen. He will more than likely be gone.

Allegations are nice. Still no proof. So the argument that the GOP isn't following the constitution is nonsense.

The argument is that Trump obstructed justice and likely conspired with Russia.
Why do you think Deutsche Bank flagged Trump and Kushner's accounts for suspicious foreign activity?

Clinton did a lot more than just commit perjury. She obstructed justice. She violated the Espionage Act.
