ABC, NBC Hype President Trump’s ‘Inevitable’ Impeachment By Dems
By Nicholas Fondacaro | December 9, 2018 10:04 AM EST

According to recent court filings, President Trump’s former personal attorney Michael Cohen told federal prosecutors that he was directed by the then-candidate to pay hush money to two women to help sway the outcome of the 2016 election. Even though Cohen admitted he had previously lied under oath to Congress, ABC and NBC spent part of their Sunday morning news programs suggesting it was all over for the Trump administration.

“We now have a president of the United States who has essentially been implicated in a felony by his own Justice Department,” boasted ABC anchor Dan Harris to chief global affairs correspondent Martha Raddatz during Good Morning America. “Democrats are reportedly talking about impeachment. Does that seem likely to happen to you, impeachment?

I personally hope the democrats do impeach Trump, for two reasons:

(1) it’ll tie Congress up in knots and they’ll get nothing done, and at the end of it they’ll look as stupid as the republicans did when they tried the same stupid shit with Clinton, and

(2) unless they can come up with absolutely undeniable proof of a real crime, like video of Trump shooting people on Fifth Avenue, the Senate will never vote to convict. 

The democrats will simply blow whatever political capital they have, and become the best argument for electing republicans in 2020.

"We don't like you" doesn't quite rise to the level of an impeachable offense. Sorry, Rep. Nadler.

You're either a liar (lying about that "for electing Republicans in 2020).... or you're not too bright (since Trump's impeachment would ensure a Democrat win-win in 2020 via media-controlled public perception of voters against the GOP).  Oh wait....

it's probably both.

Nevermind.

Actually, yes, it probably would, if enough members of Congress decided they did not like the president enough to institute impeachment proceedings.

Ooh, we're sorry. No personal attacks.

Stop censoring the OC!   

Mod1 is a big meanie.

@Mod1

Really?  So being called a liar and called stupid do not count as personal attacks.

That’s good to know.  I’ll keep that in mind from now on.
