Breitbart News editor slams House Republicans who filed articles of impeachment against Rosenstein

[DonViejo]

Breitbart News editor Joel Pollak, a staunch backer of President Donald Trump, slammed House Republicans who this week filed articles of impeachment against Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.

Reacting to impeachment articles filed by Reps. Mark Meadows (R-NC) and Jim Jordan (R-OH), Pollak questioned not only whether such a resolution would be successful, but whether it was even wise to consider in the first place.

Pollak isn’t the only conservative to question the wisdom of the impeachment resolution against Rosenstein, as Fox News legal analyst Andrew Napolitano called the effort “embarrassing” during a “Fox & Friends” appearance on Thursday.

“The constitution says that there’s a very very narrow basis for impeachment and that’s intentional,” he said. “If it were a broad basis people would be getting kicked out of office left and right. Treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors. When Bill Clinton was impeached, it was obstructing justice by lying under oath so it has to be something of that magnitude.”

1. the wonderfull thing about batshit crazies? They don't know they are batshit crazy and we can all

point at them and say...see, you can't trust any republican on corruption

2. Good point - the GOPers could be helping to hoist Trump on their own petard, as it were,

by trying to impeach Rosenstein for nothing more than doing his job in a way they don't like. If that's the standard, impeaching Trump should be a no-brainer and they wouldn't have a credible argument against it.

5. But the letters "s," "e," and "n" appear in "Rosenstein" twice, and at all in "Trump," so

it's completely different. Anyone can see that.

6. Exactly! Lowering the bar (and anything with Jim Jordan's name attached...

is taking a nose dive into foul, wretched-character waters) for impeachment standards is opening the door wide for action against the Cretin.

These complaints from conservatives and Republicans are just attempts to cover the ass of the most vile sociopath in Presidential history.

9. Republicans want it both ways when it comes to Impeachment

They want an extremely HIGH bar when it comes to Trump and other GOP Presidents and an extremely LOW bar when it comes to people perceived as enemies.

3. Over and over and over,

the extreme RWers (which these days is all of them), repeatedly reveal that they are little martinet dictators, who if they could, would simply wipe out anyone and everyone, who disagrees with them. They don't know it, but they are self-righteous Fascists. Without a shred of personal honor or compassion. Or the willingness to exercise thoughtfulness and make consciously moral decisions.

They are filled with the negative emotions of pride, greed, and hatred. It's a great tragedy for our country.

4. Wasn't it proven that Jeff Sessions lied under oath?? ...

Not once but at least 3 times.

7. Questioning the wisdom???

There's not a lick of wisdom between these republican halfwits and nincompoops.
But please by all means... proceed.
