Impeachment 2.0? Democrats line up possible new charges against Trump

By Rowan Scarborough - The Washington Times - Thursday, February 6, 2020

Democrats already have lined up possible charges if they choose to pursue impeachment 2.0.

 

Still pending is a wide-open probe launched by Rep. Adam B. Schiff, California Democrat. Mr. Schiff has been investigating President Trump, his family and businesses, the Trump Organization, over the congressman’s suspicions of blackmail, money laundering and bribery.

 

Republican staffers say the inquiry was put on hold last fall pending the Ukraine impeachment proceedings led by Mr. Schiff. But there is no sign Mr. Schiff has given up trying to prove Mr. Trump is corrupt, and if the president is impeached again, the charges would likely come from this probe, informed sources said.

 

Mr. Trump alluded to a new impeachment push Thursday.

“So we will probably have to do it again, because these people have gone stone-cold crazy, but I have beaten him all my life and I will beat him again if I have to,” Mr. Trump said at a post-Senate acquittal celebration at the White House. “But what they are doing is very unfair.”

 

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, California Democrat, said Thursday that Trump investigations will go on.

 

Meanwhile, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler of New York said after Wednesday’s Senate acquittal that it’s “likely” the Ukraine probe will go on. His committee also has been investigating any Trump-Russia election conspiracy.

 

Mr. Trump said of Mr. Nadler: “I always beat him, and I had to beat him another time and I will probably have to beat him again because if they find that I happen to walk across the street and maybe go against the light or something, let’s impeach him.”

 

“Of course, they’re going to try again,” said Pam Bondi, a former Florida attorney general and member of the president’s Senate trial defense team, on Fox News.

 

“The unwillingness of the Democrats to accept the results of their gross abuse of their constitutional power is a crime against the public trust,” John M. Dowd, Mr. Trump’s former defense counsel, told The Washington Times.

 

Mr. Schiff, chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, announced an anti-Trump staff investigation on Feb. 6, 2019, upon taking control of the committee. Some of his allegations mirror claims pushed by opposition research firm Fusion GPS and its co-founder Glenn Simpson — organizers of the discredited Democratic Party-funded dossier spread all over Washington.

 

Mr. Schiff’s Trump plans came one month before former special counsel Robert Mueller released an extensive report whose bottom line was: no Trump-Russia election conspiracy.

 

Mr. Schiff’s allegations, which remain under investigation:

 

• Money laundering. Mr. Schiff said: “During the prior Congress, the Committee began to pursue credible reports of money laundering and financial compromise related to the business interests of President Trump, his family, and his associates. The President’s actions and posture towards Russia during the campaign, transition, and administration have only heightened fears of foreign financial or other leverage over President Trump and underscore the need to determine whether he or those in his Administration have acted in service of foreign interests since taking office.”

 

The Mueller report didn’t mention any financial ties between Mr. Trump and the Kremlin. Mr. Trump’s former attorney, Michael Cohen, told the committee he knew of no Russia money flowing into the Trump Organization, the president’s real estate development firm.

 

• Russia conspiracy. Mr. Schiff said: “The extent of any links and/or coordination between the Russian government, or related foreign actors, and individuals associated with Donald Trump’s campaign, transition, administration, or business interests, in furtherance of the Russian government’s interests.”

 

• Blackmail. Mr. Schiff said: “Whether any foreign actor has sought to compromise or holds leverage, financial or otherwise, over Donald Trump, his family, his business, or his associates.

 

“Whether President Trump, his family, or his associates are or were at any time at heightened risk of, or vulnerable to, foreign exploitation, inducement, manipulation, pressure, or coercion, or have sought to influence U.S. government policy in service of foreign interests.”

 

In the year since Mr. Schiff released this road map, there have been no leaks to the media, perhaps an indication he had not found evidence before he shifted to impeachment.

 

Mr. Schiff’s spokesman didn’t respond to message seeking comment.

None of these allegations surfaced in the Mueller report nor during the Schiff-led impeachment drive.

 

‘Nothing stopping them’

GOP staffers say that Mr. Schiff has not given up on proving money laundering, which supposedly revolves around his bank, Deutsche Bank, and Russia, or perhaps around an aborted bid to build a hotel in Moscow in 2015-16.

 

“Schiff will try to redeem himself by continuing his investigations, accompanied by the usual slew of misleading leaks to masochistic reporters, into Trump’s connections to both Russia and Ukraine,” one Republican staffer told The Washington Times. “He’ll probably go back after Trump-Russia money laundering, which is one of Schiff’s favorite conspiracy theories. He doesn’t know if it’s Russians laundering money for Trump through the NRA, Trump properties, Deutsche Bank, or the Trump Tower Moscow project, but he’s convinced that somewhere, somehow, something happened.”

 

One of Fusion GPS’s allegations is that Russians provided illegal campaign donations to the National Rifle Association’s political action committee. The NRA denied this in letters to the Senate.

 

Meanwhile, Mr. Nadler put together a legal staff that has accused Mr. Trump of transgressions outside the Ukraine storyline. Lawyers Norman Eisen and Barry H. Berke have depicted Mr. Trump as a criminal and liar involved in a number of conspiracies. They wrote that Trump people could be implicated in Russian online trolling and for “aiding and abetting” computer hacking.

 

In announcing Mr. Eisen, a former Obama administration attorney, and Mr. Berke, a longtime Democratic donor, as consultants, Mr. Nadler released 81 letters to Trump associates demanding various documents.

Mr. Nadler also has been investigating whether Mr. Trump obstructed justice in the Mueller probe, but did not include that offense in his impeachment articles.

 

Mr. Nadler has not announced an end to these probes.

 

Mr. Mueller brought no conspiracy charges against any Trump ally.

“Just because President Trump has been acquitted by the Senate, paradoxically that doesn’t mean the congressional investigations will end,” J.D. Gordon, a Trump campaign national security adviser, told The Times. “The House committees will keep on pursuing obstruction allegations related to Trump-Russia, and keep digging for new details on Trump-Ukraine. That’s in addition to their wide-ranging probes on his taxes, bank loans and financial history. Plus anything else that might help build a case in the media for a historic second impeachment. There is literally nothing stopping them.”

Honestly????!!! Get your flabby @$$ed butts back to work Congress. I'm sure those who voted that group in must be so proud of all the work getting done. Blah blah blah impeachment and that's my tax money being wasted on the dems continued push to oust Trump before next election. They've sold their collective souls. I'm so tired of them and we've about 9 months of this crap ahead. 

[Synopsis]

Going back to 2015-2016???!!! Wasn't THIS the same time as the Russian Collusion Hoax???!!!

 

WHY, pray tell, were THESE "charges" NOT "investigated" AND "included" IN THEE Impeachment Articles THEE FIRST TIME AROUND???!!!

 

If at first the Democratic Criminals DO NOT Succeed, TRY, TRY AGAIN???!!!

 

 

Well, OK, a little graphic THERE.

 

However, WHY, pray tell, are the Congressional Democratic Leadership SO foolish???!!!

 

After the first time around, the "holes" in THEIR "tactics" are exposed and will NO longer work. LIKELY bringing criminal charges AND prosecution.There may be precedence for submitting the new Impeachment proceedings to a court making it's way to the Supreme Court rightfully delaying this past November 3, 2020 while the culpable are indicted and summarily prosecuted even being removed from office prior to THEIR initiation of due process.

 

Several California House Of Representative seats were stolen due to voting irregularities, ball harvesting, etc. With the Executive Order in place, I suspect THERE WILL BE a MAJOR SHIFT in the House Of Representatives to Republican based on ACTUAL legitimate The United States Of America Citizen votes nationwide.

 

Many Democrats are bailing for OTHER parties.

 

Could not only be a Presidential Landslide in favor of The True The United States Of America Patriot President Donald J Trump but Republicans and Independents as well who will caucus with the Republicans in the House Of Representatives AND Senate.

I believe it’s time to go after the Dems for trying to manipulate the outcome of an election to their benefit.  They haven’t learned their lesson, the more they go after Trump the more voters will side with the Republicans.  The ABUSE of power and the one tracked mindset to “Get Trump” while nothing gets done in the House has voters frustrated and infuriated.  

 

 

[MyLadiesDaddy]

There's only one way to deal with this kind of evil, but sadly I doubt Americans have the balls and fortitude to do what is necessary to silence the evil that wishes to destroy America. 

It's time to put them in their place.

Sorry but your wrong.

House Democrats have passed nearly 400 bills. Trump and Republicans are ignoring them.

Trump may want to look to the Republican-controlled Senate instead. Democrats in the House have been passing bills at a rapid clip; as of November 15, the House has passed nearly 400 bills, not including resolutions. But the House Democratic Policy and Communications Committee estimates 80 percent of those bill have hit a snag in the Senate, where Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is prioritizing confirming judges over passing bills.

Yes, caddieman, you can agree with what we ALL know.

 

It is ACTUALLY safe to agree based on ACTUAL Facts AND Truth!!!

Canddieman, thanks for the article.  I’m glad to see the Dems working on something besides Impeachment.   I’m not going to read the article but if you wouldn’t mind could you let us know what the top 4-5 bills are and who they impact.  Thanks

[coorslite21]

Congress can pass a million bills.....the key is before they pass them.....they need to be sure they have a bipartisan flavor.........or a win/win..

 

Ram a bunch of only partisan Bill's thru the House......knowing they have zero chance of being passed......with the idea you can then impact punishment on the opposing party is sadly what US Government has become.....    CL

[Pitcher]

BTW, I will read the article in a few days when I’m not so busy.

Couldn’t find the top bills but they posted this pic of all the bills that are stuck in the senate. 90% which are bipartisan! Wow!

 

Democratic senators have been taking to social media to share photos of a pile of hundreds of bipartisan House-passed bills that still await action in the Senate as tensions continue to flare over the pace of legislation in the chamber. 

“This is the pile of House-passed bills, 90% bipartisan, dead on [Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell’s desk in the Senate #LegislativeGraveyard,” Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) said in a Wednesday morning tweet that featured a photo of a stack of papers labelled “Bills stuck in the Senate.”

Usually when the house passes a bill they have so much pork added that the Senate will not allow it to pass.  Example: money so a shrimp can run on a treadmill and more nonsense that cost you and me the taxpayers.  There are real reasons why these bills are not passed without consideration.  If it were bills alone to be passed then we should object to them being held up but the attached garbage should always be rejected.  I for one am thankful that desk are made of solid, sturdy wood to hold the pile of garbage they try to push thru.  The pic above is probably more trash and pork than actual bills.

And I could post a picture with a pile of paper and say it is a bunch of bills people owe me. Doesn't mean it is true. 

True statement on the pork.

Doesn't explain the 18 months of delay on the U.S.M.C. treaty.

After three years of the sham they were trying to pull they all of a sudden are worried that their efforts are being delayed.  😄
