Time For Trump To Follow The Law!
Quote:
The White House has instructed Carl Kline not to testify before Congress. He’s the guy who supervised getting a security clearance, over the objection of the intelligence agencies, for Jared Kushner.
Similarly, Steve Mnuchin has ordered the Internal Revenue Service to defy the law and not give Trump’s tax returns to the House Ways and Means Committee. These are all simple and straightforward violations of the law and naked attempts to obstruct justice. This is the behavior of an authoritarian dictator, a person who doesn’t believe in our Constitution or even the simple concepts of democracy.
Elected officials should not tolerate this behavior and prosecute Trump and his co-conspirators to the fullest extent of the law, including impeachment where appropriate.

Is Impeachment A Remedy For Hate?
Quote:
Since Trump took office, we have seen several hate-filled, Fox news watching, Donald Trump cult following "very fine people" try to damage the entire leadership of the Democratic Party.

His supporters are making Americans unsafe. And now Trump supporter Franklin Graham is going after Pete Buttigieg for being gay.
Trump campaign rallies have increased hate crimes by 226% in the places they were held. Donald Trump is spreading disease in America, and a small part of the cure for that disease is to disgrace and discredit him through a comprehensive impeachment investigation.

The Mueller Reports Mishandling By Media Misled Most Americans
Quote:

Impeachment would mean that everything in the Mueller Report, and everything Trump has done, would become public record and the media would have to cover it.
