CNN: Trump's Aides Warning Him There's A Real Chance He'll Be Impeached

Source: TPM




October 1, 2019 8:46 am


President Trump’s aides and allies have warned him in recent days that there’s a real chance he might be impeached, according to CNN.

CNN’s Jim Acosta reported on Monday night that aides have “cautioned him just in the last few days he faces the real likelihood of impeachment,” adding that others close to Trump are “divided” on the gravity of House Democrats’ impeachment efforts.


“(Some aides are) reassuring the president that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is just placating Democrats and won’t ultimately drive the process toward an impeachment vote,” Acosta said.

Even if his support totally collapses, why would he give up his best protection?

he will resign right away and in fact he may stay on if Moscow Mitch (a.k.a Putin's Bitch) lets him know that the vote will be rigged so that he will not be convicted beforehand.

and most likely Ivanka (and perhaps Tiffany) because the other 2 oldest are totally full of themselves and the youngest is probably in another world given what he was thrust into.

anti-social personality disorder types always uproot whatever they encounter - marriages, workplaces, business dealings. Always. Beware. They ARE out there.

He will not go down alone. He will take the top echelon with him. Pence, Pompeo, Barr, Moscow Mitch, Leningrad Lindsey and others. Gym Jordan and Kevin McCarthy did a very poor job on the Sunday shows, so they will go too. Great times ahead. Clearing the swamp is upon us. So much damage has been done in a short time. Disgraceful that this is happening. The gop knew he was a loose cannon, but as long as they got their tax breaks, and destroyed healthcare, they were fine with it. Now what???

then he will have cleared the swamp, or at least the swamp he brought with him. Also, good news, Nipples and Jared, the two boys, and Melanie will go with him.

Isn't just a name of a river in Africa.

Yes Impeachment is a certainty and removal from office is a small but growing possibility.

Civil War is not going to happen? How does one convince him that support for impeachment is growing? He’ll be left with only his family for support and even that is iffy.

So yes, Trump will be impeached

Just curious. I’m thinking ahead to a good President needing to resign maybe due to health issues... setting precedent, etc. Just thinking out loud. I don’t have answers.

Of course, Trump has also surrounded himself with people who just tell him what he wants to hear.

a get out of jail free card. They’re plotting the exact steps he’d need to take to get out unscathed. Resign. Pence becomes Prez, and pardons tRump (his excellency) and tRump and his family take a powder ASAP, thus avoiding prosecution for their many crimes. Also need to make sure all of their ill gotten gains are safely tucked out of reach of officials in the US. Details. So many details to arrange. Bet they’re burning the midnight oil plotting it all out and figuring out how to get the big guy to go along with it.

that tRump and as many of his gang of thieves that can be rounded up are punished. He must not be allowed to get off with any “mental illness” excuse they try to use. No pity due to his age. No excuses. Period. No matter what. He (they) must pay for their crimes.

And people around the world must know the truth of what they have tried to do. Put it in plain terms. Even the faithful base must be informed that they were had, duped, scammed. They may not accept it, but they still need to be told.
