The House Gets Critical Impeachment Evidence As Matt Whitaker Admits That Trump Obstructed Justice

<snip>

Link to tweet

The House has eyewitness testimony that Trump obstructed justice

Rep. Nadler laid out how Trump interfered in investigations that involved himself, his associates, and his family. Trump tried to get US attorneys who are investigating him fired and replaced with allies. These are textbook attempts to obstruct justice. Trump abused his power as president to try to get investigations into his criminal behavior shut down. - PoliticusUSA

Democrats,

tRump has taught them that they don't have to even have a bit of truth in anything they say any more. They used to think they had to at least have a little bit of facts to back them up. Now they know they can even have TV footage and say it isn't real. Thanks tRump...

He's the epitome of the suck up that would do or say anything to get ahead. I don't think he has an original thought in his brain. Whatever makes him money is OK with him. Sad human being, if he is human...

LOCK HIM UP NOW! The sooner the better for the country's sake. A pundit on MSNBC said earlier, "It will take generations for this country to get back the respect we once had". I agree with that assessment.

Certainly in normal circumstances this would be enough to impeach but this is not normal.

They have to have documented proof that Trump actually acted to obstruct justice.

Anything less will have no chance at all of being supported by enough Republicans in the Senate.

That should not stop us. We are a nation of laws and presidential criminality keeps getting worse because we fail to hold them accountable. "Forget about it" with Bush brought us Trump
