(16,726 posts)Trump will use impeachment as a reason why he needs another 4 years to AVOID prosecution and a pardon for crimes he committed as President. He is not sitting happily as more investigations around him take place in all the other venues Mueller farmed them off to. The SDNY, EDNY, NY AG office, and other States where Trump does business, etc.
Then there are the Tax Laws that state that when requested, tax returns must be turned over to a House Committee. Defiance of those requests cannot be disputed. The law is clear.
Trump will be as defiant as if he were a King. It is up to us as voters to resist those claims that NO ONE is above the law, not even a King or President. We must also paint any Congressional Republican who is loyal to Trump as an AIDER and ABETTOR of a Criminal, thus a TRAITOR to the very US Constitution they swore to uphold against enemies of the US be they Foreign or Domestic. I doubt Republicans running for State and Federal offices will like the moniker of TRAITOR. We must make our voices loud and clear as the Election approaches however we can.
