House Democrats plan to make former Trump attorney Michael Cohen’s payments to two women alleging affairs with President Trump a “major investigative focus” this fall, according to a new report.
The Washington Post reported Tuesday: The House Judiciary Committee is preparing to hold hearings and call witnesses involved in hush-money payments to ex-Playboy model Karen McDougal and adult-film star Stormy Daniels as soon as October, according to people familiar with the plans who spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe internal discussions. Democrats say they believe there is already enough evidence to name Trump as a co-conspirator in the episode that resulted in his former attorney, Michael Cohen, pleading guilty to two campaign finance charges. Cohen, who is serving a three-year prison sentence, has claimed that President Trump directed him to make the payments, although federal prosecutors declined to bring any charges against the president. Trump’s attorney Jay Sekulow said in a statement to the Post, “No campaign violations were engaged in by the president.” The Post described the plans as “a new chapter” in House Democrats’ consideration of whether to draft articles of impeachment against the president. The House Judiciary Committee is already looking at whether the president obstructed justice and should be impeached — which Chairman Jerry Nadler (D-NY) has claimed constitute “formal impeachment proceedings.” But with a recent poll showing that 59% of American voters oppose impeachment, Democrats who back impeachment may be feeling the pressure to come up with more to sway public opinion. Progressive activists fear that Trump may win another term, and have been pushing their representatives to pursue impeachment before that happens. However, even if a majority in the House voted to impeach Trump, two-thirds of the Senate would have to agree in order for Trump to actually leave office. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), aware of that reality, has pushed back against impeachment. https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2019/09/03/house-democrats-major-investigative-focus-stormy-daniels-karen-mcdougal/ |
| While there is much pu-shawing here about the communists attempt at Impeachment, it must be realized the democrats WILL Impeach Trump. There is no way around it and they will do it if they all want re-elected and to be able to stand on the "moral" high ground. Does not really matter to most of them if in the end Trump is not convicted, they just need to be able to say "the Impeached President Trump!" at every turn. Also, it is not a lock that the Senate won't convict. There are shit loads of in-the-closet anti- and never-Trumper RINO's so anything could happen. |

Now, if he isn't reelected in 2020 and various state level entities try and prosecute him and convict him, I imagine it might be safer for them to do another "Bush was a RINO, we never liked him" bit, but we'll see on that. |

They'll keep trying different angles against Trump not because they'll win, but simply to push more Anti-Trump propaganda and hysteria in preparation for the elections. Basically you think the country overall is doing better than it was 4 years ago and will vote for him, or you were never going to vote for him anyways so all the extra hysteria doesn't matter. |
