Stuck on stupid, the Democrats will never drop their ‘Impeach the President!' craze.
As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claims "Impeachment is FOREVER!"
To Pelosi and her demented sidekicks Chuck Schumer and Adam Schiff, Impeachment is really forever—forever and a day—whatever day opens the way for another Impeachment investigation, when off they go."Federal prosecutors on Monday had recommended a sentence of between 87 and 108 months in prison for Stone's conviction on seven counts of obstruction, witness tampering and making false statements to Congress on charges that stemmed from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation.Criminals who gain access to the U.S. illegally, charged with rape and murder, get away with a lot less.
"But in a stunning reversal, as Fox News first reported, leadership at the Justice Department overruled the prosecutors on the case, scaling back the proposed sentence for Stone, which immediately led Democrats to accuse Trump of interfering in the process by tweeting about his displeasure with the DOJ. Trump denies it, and the case lately has been complicated further by questions over possible juror bias. (Fox News) "During an interview with CNN on Wednesday, Swalwell, D-Calif., was asked whether Democrats would look to launch a new impeachment inquiry on the new controversy."
"You know, we're not going to take our options off the table," Swalwell, a member of the House Judiciary and Intelligence Committees, told CNN. "We don't wake up in the morning wanting to impeach him." (Fox News)Wrong! Not only do Democrats "wake up in the morning wanting to impeach" Trump, they fall asleep at night wanting to impeach him. For Democrats impeaching Trump has become a not-so-magnificent OBSESSION.
"He added: "We want to work with him on prescription drugs, background checks, and infrastructure, but we're not going to let him just torch this democracy because he thinks that he's been let off once and we're not going to do something about it." (Fox News)More outrageous Swalwell lies! Had "we" wanted to work with the president "on prescription drugs, background checks, and infrastructure", they would have done so during the past three years. In short, Democrats don't want to legislate or work, they want to IMPEACH!

"Swalwell's comments come as several Democrats on Capitol Hill have demanded investigations -- and even the resignation of Attorney General Bill Barr -- after the move to scale back the Stone sentence. (Fox News) "Congress must act immediately to rein in our lawless Attorney General," Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., tweeted Wednesday. "Barr should resign or face impeachment." "Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., also slammed Barr, saying he "ought to be ashamed and embarrassed and resign as a result of this action directly interfering in the independent prosecution of Roger Stone." He also said the controversy was yet another example of "political interference by the president to alter the independent decisions of the Department of Justice." "House Judiciary Committee Chairman Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., didn't answer a question on whether Barr should resign but said: "I think the behavior is extremely egregious." "The latest Democratic fervor comes after four career prosecutors withdrew from the Stone case, including one quitting outright, after leadership at the Justice Department (DOJ) overruled them.
"Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.; Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., immediately called for an investigation into Trump's alleged political intervention into Stone's sentencing. "Schumer also took to the Senate floor and torched Senate Republicans who acquitted Trump on two articles of impeachment for enabling Trump's conduct. "Republicans thought the president would learn his lesson," Schumer said in a veiled jab at Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine. "It turned out that the lesson he learned was not that he went too far -- not that he needed to rein it in. The lesson the president learned was that the Republican Party will not hold him accountable no matter how egregious his behavior. Not now, not ever."Meanwhile, "not now", "not ever" add up to the "FOREVER" Impeachment Pelosi wants for President Trump. The world has turned upside down ever since the Democrats began using the Impeachment option as a political tool they can use to claw back the power they lost in 2016. Nor will impeachment remain as a means to get rid of only their political opponents. At this rate, citizens will one day be impeached for jaywalking.
