“The Dam Could Break On Thursday”: Here Are 12 Quotes That Signal Democrats Are Primed To Impeach Trump

Authored by Michael Snyder via The End of The American Dream blog,

It looks like they are really going to do it.  The Democrats are actually preparing to begin impeachment proceedings, and as you will see below, one senior House Democratic aide is warning that “the dam could break on Thursday”.

That is the day when acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire is scheduled to testify to the House Intelligence Committee, and Democrats on that committee are going to make it exceedingly clear that they want the whistleblower complaint that is at the center of this latest political firestorm.  It is being alleged that President Trump repeatedly pressured the president of Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden and his son Hunter at a time when Ukraine was desperate for military aid from the United States.

President Trump has publicly admitted that he discussed Joe Biden’s corruption with the Ukrainian president, but he insists that he never actually pressured him to do anything.  Trump is offering to release a full transcript of the call in order to prove his point, but that is not going to satisfy the Democrats.  They want the whistleblower complaint, and they want it immediately.

According to Politico, some sources on Capitol Hill are saying that the possibility of impeachment proceedings is “approaching a certainty”, but so much depends on what happens later this week.

Over the course of this week, Democratic leaders are going to do all that they can to get their hands on the whistleblower complaint, and things are likely to come to a head on Thursday when acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire testifies before the House Intelligence Committee.  The following comes from NBC News

But House Democrats have been pulling together a wide-ranging case to impeach President Donald Trump on a series of alleged past and ongoing crimes against the country — a set of charges that goes far beyond the Mueller report — and all signs point to a possible public inflection point later this week, when acting Director of National Intelligence Joseph Maguire testifies before the House Intelligence Committee.

“The dam could break on Thursday,” one senior House Democratic aide, whose boss has not endorsed impeachment, told NBC News.

Previously, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had been against impeachment, but now she appears to have changed her tune.

She is insisting that the whistleblower complaint must be turned over, and if that doesn’t happen the New York Times is warning that we should expect “a serious escalation from Congress”…

The fast-moving developments prompted Speaker Nancy Pelosi to level a warning of her own to the White House: Turn over the secret whistle-blower complaint by Thursday, or face a serious escalation from Congress.

By the end of this week, we should have a lot more clarity on what is about to happen.

But at this point, all of the signs are pointing in one direction.  The following are 12 quotes that show that the Democrats are getting ready to impeach Trump…

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff: “I have been very reluctant to go down the path of impeachment, for the reason that I think the founders contemplated, in a country that has elections every four years, that this would be an extraordinary remedy, a remedy of last resort, not first resort. But if the president is essentially withholding military aid at the same time that he is trying to browbeat a foreign leader into doing something illicit, that is, providing dirt on his opponent during a presidential campaign, then that may be the only remedy that is coequal to the evil that that conduct represents.”

Congressman Jim Himes: “Of course it’s an impeachable offense.”

Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney: “I first called for impeachmemt back in June. These latest revelations re: POTUS and Ukraine are absolutely outrageous – they take impeachable offenses to a whole new level, and emphasize the urgency for IMMEDIATE action.”

Congressman Al Green: “”It is time for the Congress to do its job and start the impeachment process, not an inquiry.”

Representative John Larson: “The Director of National Intelligence must comply with the law on Thursday. If not, the Trump Administration has left Congress with no alternative but for the House to begin impeachment proceedings, which I will support.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: “The Inspector General determined that the matter is ‘urgent’ and therefore we face an emergency that must be addressed immediately.”

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff: “This would be, I think, the most profound violation of the presidential oath of office, certainly during this presidency, which says a lot, but perhaps during just about any presidency. There is no privilege that covers corruption. There is no privilege to engage in underhanded discussions.”

Congressman Al Green: “We are at the crossroads of accountability. Either we will hold the president accountable, or we will be held accountable.”

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez: “At this point, the bigger national scandal isn’t the president’s lawbreaking behavior – it is the Democratic Party’s refusal to impeach him for it.”

Congressman Dean Phillips: “I came to Congress on a mission to clean up corruption and restore America’s trust in our government. The President’s pattern of behavior is corrupt at best, treasonous at worst, and puts our rule of law at risk.”

Representative Pramila Jayapal: “It is a deeply serious time, and I think we have a constitutional crisis and I think there is only one remedy at this point.”

Congresswoman Angie Craig: “We have a responsibility to ensure that no one is above the law — particularly our elected leaders. Yesterday, the President and his personal counsel confessed to asking the Ukrainian government to interfere with a political rival. Additionally, President Trump threatened to withhold military aid to our ally if they did not comply. It is clear that the sitting president of the United States placed his own personal interests above the national security of the United States. We must safeguard our electoral process and our very democracy from outside threats. For this reason, the current investigations into corruption must continue. And when there is an abuse of power of this magnitude, it is our responsibility to stand up for what is right. This is why I am calling to open impeachment proceedings — immediately, fairly, and impartially.”

And if impeachment proceedings do move forward, they won’t just be focused on the discussions that Trump has had with the president of Ukraine.

According to NBC News, Democrats are likely to include a whole host of “impeachable offenses” in their charges against Trump…

Democrats are also gathering evidence for possible obstruction of justice charges stemming from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation — including the eyewitness testimony the Judiciary Committee received from former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski last week. Lewandowski testified that the president twice directed him to tell then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions to un-recuse himself and shut down Mueller’s investigation of Trump.

The other buckets of potentially impeachable offenses include obstruction of Congress, a category that covers a laundry list of efforts by Trump to prevent the House from obtaining testimony and documents from various federal officials, agencies and even people who do not work for the government — like Lewandowski — over whom Trump has sought to limit disclosures by asserting executive privilege.

The latest CNN count has 137 of the 235 Democrats in the House in support of impeachment, but the floodgates have now opened and more are coming out in favor of beginning impeachment proceedings with each passing day.

And with Democrats having a solid majority in the House, there is little doubt as to what the outcome would be.

But the problem for Democrats has always been the Senate where Republicans hold a slim majority.  The Republicans currently hold 53 seats, and that always seemed to be an insurmountable obstacle to removing Trump from office.

However, things may have changed due to this latest scandal.  At this point, even Senator Mitt Romney seems deeply troubled by what he is hearing…

Senator Mitt Romney of Utah, the Republican presidential nominee in 2012, was more critical, deeming it “critical for the facts to come out” and saying, “If the president asked or pressured Ukraine’s president to investigate his political rival, either directly or through his personal attorney, it would be troubling in the extreme.”

If push came to shove, it is probably likely that Mitt Romney would vote to remove Donald Trump, and if Trump was removed from office that would open up the door for him to make a run for the White House in 2020.

In addition to Romney, there are several other “moderate” Republicans that will be critical to the outcome of any push for impeachment.  Many of them are not particularly fond of Trump, and Trump knows it.

We have reached one of the most critical moments in American history, and it was probably inevitable that the Democrats were going to come for Trump eventually.

Now we are on the verge of a constitutional crisis that could shake America to the core, and either way the end result is likely to leave tens of millions of Americans deeply angry.

Political tension has been rising to a breaking point for a long time in this nation, and this could be the spark that unleashes chaos that nobody is going to be able to control.

So let us hope for peace, and let us hope that the Democrats are not really as serious about impeachment as they appear to be at this moment.

*  *  *

Pelosi has scheduled a meeting Tuesday afternoon with the chairs of the six committees conducting investigations into Trump, according to a source familiar with the plan. House Democrats have also scheduled an unusual caucus meeting at 4 p.m. Tuesday in the Capitol. The topic remains unclear, but aides speculated it would focus on a path forward on impeachment.

I quit paying attention to CONgress back in January.

Something about 424-0 for Israel.

Mitt Romney was one of the piece of shit fixers hired (installed as Massachusuetts governor) to help bury atrocities, extortion, and dozens of murders committed by FBI-DOJ-Whitey Bulger-Mueller-Bush-Mafia-CointelPro conspirators.

Oh well, Pence becomes President upon impeachment, and can legally serve out two full terms after, so roughly 9.5 years of Pence is within the realm of possibility.

Or the man who faked his death 20 years ago and has been the hidden President for 20 years could suddenly reappear. Hint: His father also faked his death and became the hidden President. Much easier to govern a nation when people think you’re dead.

22 you had me up until the faked deaths part. Hillary took out Jr’s plane. I said that when it happened because he was a brick wall for her plans of running. He would have crushed her so she took him out.

Didn’t Obummer ask russia for help also UK for the steel dossier? He also asked many country’s help. DJT was reviewing what seemed to be Biden corruption of using his office for personal gain. But msm refuses to discuss this. DJt has a right to investigate and also ask other country’s that are part of it to investigate

something that was scripted and storyboarded by a hidden media mogul?

The Bushes were hired pretend bad guys, while the Kennedys have ruled since 1945 after disappearing Joe Jr. in 1943.

Every President since Truman has been a mouthpiece for hidden Kennedys.

The business plot succeeded in ’45, just not the way we are told.

Appropos of nothing. Trump should not be impeached but he is going to be impeached….simple, Dems have no policies, completely discredited and their current 2020 candidates are lilliputians compared to Trump so they will lose 2020. Their only option is to remove Trump from office before 2020 thus impeachment. Even if the odds are long and the likelihood of “boomerang” is very high the Dems will go for it.

The Ukraine phone call is completely fabricated, President’s represent the country and they pressure other countries all the time (sort of like China or Israel pressures us.) That’s the job. In this case, it will be shown that in fact, the Ukrainians were asking for help, that Biden is much more corrupt than anybody thought and Trump is clean as a whistle. Won’t matter it is all the Dems have.

Remember this is the 4th Turning so the shit is getting more “real” every day and expect this to continue to escalate. Say Trump is convicted in the Senate and refuses to leave the WH or if not convicted in the Senate he arrests the Dem leaders……either is plausible and led to the same violence, unrest, and civil war.

Of those 12 comments, the two most important are from Dean Phillips and Angie Craig – both freshman reps from the suburbs of Minneapolis and St. Paul. That’s because theirs are swing districts that flipped in 2018 to democrat for the first time in recent years. Schiff and AOC and others in heavily democrat districts are safe advocating for impeachment, but if swing seat Dems start to go for it, it’s different.

There is no whistleblower. There is someone on the government who heard a rumour not related to their work and decided the tell someone about it. When the ‘whistleblower’ admits they have have no direct knowledge of what they are saying they are not a whistleblower – they are a gossip.

Then, why are the dems so upset at Trump if he did pressure Ukraine to do something or lose aid money when Biden did the same exact thing and bragged about it. Their total and complete lack of even pretending to have any principles is astounding. They should at least pretend to have some principles.

The House D’s are blowing smoke, but the dangerous part is that they are beginning to believe their own B.S. If they pull the trigger, this goes to trial in the Senate. Standard rules for Discovery are used, which could be a great venue to bring lots of swamp things into the lime light.

Anybody here, whether or not you like Trump, think he’d go down alone?

Hmmmmm?

My response to the D’s is “If you’re feeling froggy….go ahead and jump.” IMHO, this’d be the end of the D party, at the least, probably the R’s too depending how noodle spine they go.

Excellent news. Trump can possibly be impeached but he can’t be removed from office. The Republicans control the Senate. The only thing impeachment will do is make the Democrats look like the subversive lunatics they are and – this is the good thing – give the Senate the opportunity to tear them to shreds on everything from Russiahoax, the Mueller report, the Squad, to this latest non-story about Ukraine. Joe Biden is toast and his son may go to prison. The Trump base will be enraged and many independents will be disgusted.

Ask yourself what the point of impeachment is? Certainly no removal would be ordered by the Senate, so this is all theater. Remember when Clinton was impeached? His approval numbers went up, and he got re-elected. So, the way I see this is an Impeachment by the house is merely Dems throwing red meat to their base all while ensuring Trump stays in office another 4 years. They are going to pull all the stops to keep people on the edge of their seat (in the uniparty plantation.)

this is bad 4 the country in many ways but if the reps have have the smarts & stones to do so they could turn this to their own advantage–
the reps are defending far more senate seats next year than the dems & will probably lose the senate–
if the house actually does impeach,mcconnell should have a prime time show trial & force the dems to vote on it–
there would be lots of campaign material there–

In other words NO. Lindsay doesn’t have any gonads and don’t expect him as judiciary chairman to question his good buddy and his meth head son with rotting teeth who received 15 billion in this deal. This would just be in bad taste for Lindsay I believe. Notice how Lindsay or the moderator didn’t mention to you the dollar amount in the conversation that meth head Hunter recieved. Screw Americans and America but hail the Bidens for taking advantage of us all. Is this not Lindsey’s motto?

So Obama and Biden nearly started World War III six years ago with all kinds of fuckery in Ukraine, but Trump and his former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, will pay the price while the pizza-eating pedophile Podesta brothers enjoy a fine life of first-class luxury complete with super fun spirit-cooking parties!

What a deal!

Justice Department ends investigation of Tony Podesta, Vin Weber without charges

The investigation by the Southern District of New York, which focused on whether several prominent Washington lobbyists violated foreign lobbying rules, grew out of special counsel Robert Mueller’s inquiry into the finances of Manafort, a former Trump campaign chairman who is now serving a 7.5 year sentence in federal prison.

See how that works?

But, seriously, trust the plan.

Any day now. Just you wait. It’s gonna be glorious!

“Trump confidant Roger Stone loses bid to get evidence tossed”

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson rejected Stone’s arguments, meaning evidence collected under the search warrants can be used in the upcoming trial. She said Stone had failed to prove that anyone in the government had “played fast and loose with the truth” or knowingly mischaracterized the facts

Amy Berman Jackson was appointed by Barack Hussein Obama in 2011, of course.

Sep 24 at 9:43 PM

Dear MoveOn member,

The dam has finally broken. Over the past 24 hours, dozens of members of Congress have announced their support for impeaching Donald Trump, and this afternoon House Speaker Nancy Pelosi finally announced the framework of an official impeachment inquiry.1

Here’s the problem: Congress is about to go on a two-week recess, and we cannot afford to lose momentum, which means we need to act right now.

MoveOn is launching an emergency fundraising drive right now. We need to raise $250,000 in the next 72 hours to fund a campaign to push so that every single Democrat comes out in support of impeachment by Friday. Charlie, can you rush $3 right now to help us meet our goal?

Yes, I’ll make an emergency donation to help MoveOn flood Congress with calls, run ads, pound the pavement in D.C., and do whatever it takes to get Democrats to support impeachment by Friday.

The need to impeach Trump has been clear for a long time—MoveOn called for his impeachment over two years ago—so what has changed over the past few days to open the floodgates? News reports have mounted suggesting that Trump withheld nearly $400 million in congressionally authorized military aid to the nation of Ukraine in an effort to force their government to aid Trump’s re-election effort and attack his political opponents.2

The details of Trump’s attempted blackmail are so flagrant that they deserve a thorough examination. Here is what we know:

Earlier this month, news broke that a whistleblower in the intelligence community had initiated the official process to lodge a complaint they believed met the standard of violating either the law or constitution, and the Intelligence Inspector General agreed that this complaint rose to the level of “credible and urgent,” a legal standard that requires the complaint to be given to Congress within 7 days.3
Instead of following the law, the acting Director of National Intelligence informed Attorney General William Barr, and together they refused to give any details of the complaint to Congress.4
Thanks to dogged reporting, we now know that the information the whistleblower shared was that Donald Trump withheld nearly $400 million in congressionally authorized military aid to Ukraine in an attempt to force their government to investigate sham accusations of wrongdoing against the Biden family—all as part of an effort to influence the 2020 election and boost Trump’s chances for re-election.5,6,7,8
That’s right: These reports say that Trump used the power of the presidency to withhold aid meant to stop Russian incursions into Ukraine in an effort to force a foreign government to interfere in our elections—and then suppressed the turnover of whistleblower documents required by the law.

This is not only an earth-shattering level of corruption, it is also the textbook definition of an impeachable offense, and it has finally forced Democrats off the sidelines and into the fray.

Now, we must do everything we can to support the impeachment process in the House. That’s why MoveOn is holding a major event in Washington, D.C. this week, flooding Congress with calls, running ads, and gearing up for a huge national week of action in districts across the country next week to ensure that impeachment moves forward without any delay.

Chip in $3 right now to our emergency 72-hour campaign to fuel the impeachment efforts in Congress.

MoveOn has already been leading in this fight. We called for Trump’s impeachment back in 2017, and just last month we led “Impeachment August,” holding events and calling on lawmakers to take a stand—which led to the most new support for impeachment from members of Congress in a single month since the start of Trump’s presidency. Now that Congress is finally poised to take definitive action, we will continue to pound the drum for impeachment by driving calls to members of Congress who remain silent, hosting events in D.C. and around the country, running digital ads, and more.

At the same time, MoveOn is getting ready to announce our 2020 plans. This could be the biggest year in our 20-year history—and we will be holding Mitch McConnell and other Republicans like Susan Collins who have aided and abetted Trump’s schemes accountable.

But to do all of this, we need your help right now. Charlie, will you chip in $3 to help us meet our $250,000 goal in the next 72 hours?

Thanks for all you do.

My God, these people really do want a civil war, too bad they don’t want to be part of it but that just may come to pass also. We want prison or death for the major felonious crimes committed against this country by Comey, Mueller, McCabe, Stroyk, Page, Clintons, Biden and his son, Obama, whoever killed Epstein, Brennan, Clapper, Rosenstein, Schiff, Ohr and his wife, Fusion GPS, an extradited Chris Steele, Mifsud, Halper, that Australian who tried to set up the conspiracy, and on and on. And not yet one of these people has had a finger laid on them. Does that make, at this point in time, Wray, Barr, Horowitz complicit as well?

I wouldn’t trust Wray as far as I could throw him but I also see this stunt today as an indication of just how terrified they are. In addition to Trump outperforming everyone who has gone before him for the last 30 years at least while they tried everything to obstruct him, Horowitz and Durham and some other investigations are delivering the goods to Barr shortly. It seems interminable but it will come. The crooks know what they did so they know what they will be charged with. They are scared shitless and the party people who are not criminals see their party imploding and disintegrating.
There are also DOJ prosecutors working on this you never hear about. In addition I have learned there is an FBI band of patriots that did its own investigation and gathered evidence while the top dogs were engaging in their sedition because they knew something illegal was going on. If I know this the MSM and many Dems know it too which makes their actions and attempted coverups and false accusations unforgivable.
