Well I believe that the political spectrum resembles a circle more than a line, and therefore, there's not a lot of difference between Far Right and Far Left.

And he gets elected with virtually noreal opposition.

He got his very own article on CNN


Maybe he could list the most important justification for impeachment, in his mind.

CNN?   He is totally NOT A REPUBLICAN.  I say anti-American.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Looks like Rep Amash must have read the Mueller Report.

Justin Amash @justinamash

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.
12:30 PM - 18 May 2019

I offer these 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.

In comparing Barr’s principal conclusions, congressional testimony, and other statements to Mueller’s report, it is clear that Barr intended to mislead the public about Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s analysis and findings.

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.

Under our Constitution, the president “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” While “high Crimes and Misdemeanors” is not defined, the context implies conduct that violates the public trust.

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.

In fact, Mueller’s report identifies multiple examples of conduct satisfying all the elements of obstruction of justice, and undoubtedly any person who is not the president of the United States would be indicted based on such evidence.

Impeachment, which is a special form of indictment, does not even require probable cause that a crime (e.g., obstruction of justice) has been committed; it simply requires a finding that an official has engaged in careless, abusive, corrupt, or otherwise dishonorable conduct.

While impeachment should be undertaken only in extraordinary circumstances, the risk we face in an environment of extreme partisanship is not that Congress will employ it as a remedy too often but rather that Congress will employ it so rarely that it cannot deter misconduct.

Our system of checks and balances relies on each branch’s jealously guarding its powers and upholding its duties under our Constitution. When loyalty to a political party or to an individual trumps loyalty to the Constitution, the Rule of Law—the foundation of liberty—crumbles.

We’ve witnessed members of Congress from both parties shift their views 180 degrees—on the importance of character, on the principles of obstruction of justice—depending on whether they’re discussing Bill Clinton or Donald Trump.

Few members of Congress even read Mueller’s report; their minds were made up based on partisan affiliation—and it showed, with representatives and senators from both parties issuing definitive statements on the 448-page report’s conclusions within just hours of its release.

America’s institutions depend on officials to uphold both the rules and spirit of our constitutional system even when to do so is personally inconvenient or yields a politically unfavorable outcome. Our Constitution is brilliant and awesome; it deserves a government to match it.

Specifics?

Well....well...well......

Amash was born in Michigan to a Palestinian Christian father and a Syrian Christian mother who had immigrated to the United States. He grew up in Kentwood, Michigan, and was the valedictorian of his high school class. He studied economics at the University of Michigan and then earned a law degree from the University of Michigan Law School, then worked as an attorney at his father's business before beginning his political career. He and his brothers are co-owners of their family business, Dynamic Source International which includes Amash Imports, Inc. (founded in 1956 and using the trade name of Amash Brothers Distributing and Michigan Industrial Tools) and others.[6][7] Their family businesses are heavily invested in China which include Trekton and other products.[8]

   Yep, @rustynail they got him, this time. 
   As much as I dislike his discombobulated twitter feed, brought to me by @Right_in_Virginia daily, I do love the fact that he trolls the dems so well just begging them to try and Impeach him.

Well, if you don't like it @corbe  I'm out of it.  I'm sick and tired of being trolled by you.

The walls are closing in.

@rustynail

There is another post on TBR about this guy that exposes the fact that he makes up to a million a year from his company business dealings with China,and how he would stand to lose that money if Trump's policies with China are implemented.

Unbelievable.  I'm having trouble believing Amash said this.

@Sanguine

Why? The company he owns pays him up to a million bucks a year,and the products (garden tools) his company sell are made in China.

Selfish self-interest at work here.

He's rated as one of the top conservatives by 'Conservative Review' and he normally votes conservatively.  I'll wait to see what happens, but I'm somewhat surprised by his suggestion of impeachment. He's one of the last GOP that I'd expect this from.

@libertybele

If Trump shuts down imports from China he stands to lose up to a million bucks a year because his company imports all the garden tools they sell from China.

Maybe Rep Amash thinks U.S.-imposed tariffs are taxes on Americans, and President Trump is boasting that he loves collecting big taxes on Americans.

Odd that they all say Trump is guilty...worthy of impeachment, yet never give an example of wrong doing.
Mueller and his 16 Democratic lawyers could find nothing in 2 years and $30,000,000 later.
This is nothing short of persecution & attempted coup of PDJT. 

Dear Dems and Amash,
Give one example, just one...

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

I wouldn't call any of it ethical but I stop short of impeachment.  I am for a return to Constitutional government.  People of good character who don't need Russian help to get elected.  Who wants to be indebted to Russia?  People shouldn't need Russia to realize that Hillary Clinton is unelectable.
