Fux Noise - Kellyanne Conway: Trump can't be impeached by an investigation Democrats started

As thousands gathered on the White House lawn for the annual Easter egg roll on Monday morning, Kellyanne Conway criticized House Democrats latest impeachment push, calling it "a ridiculous proposition."

News broke on Sunday that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., plans to hold a private conference call with fellow Democrats to discuss the possibility of impeaching President Trump.

The issue was raised again after a redacted version of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report was released last week, which Dems argue provides evidence to the contrary of Attorney General William Barr's summary that the investigation found no evidence that President Trump obstructed justice.

However, Conway pushed back.

"You can't impeach a Republican president for something the Democrats started, which is this ridiculous investigation that has cost us $25 million, over 2500 subpoenas," Conway told "Fox & Friends" host Ainsley Earhardt on Monday morning.

"The special counsel provides a report to the attorney general who, in concert with the deputy attorney general and office of legal counsel, decided there was no obstructive conduct. They could not bring obstruction charges - they made that decision," she continued.

Conway may feel that dems started (no) and investigation is ridiculous. The facts are:
Charges, pleas, and convictions:

-Number of people indicted: 32
-Number of Trump associates indicted: 5
-Number of companies indicted: 3
-Number of charges: 100+
-Number of people who have pleaded guilty (total): 6
-Number of Trump associates who have pleaded guilty: 4
-Number of Trump associates who have been found guilty: 1
-Special counsel Mueller's record on getting guilty pleas or convictions against Trump associates: 100 percent

Of course the numbers above of indicted people, etc. is bound to go up with the other 14 investigations going on too.

Yes, indeed, the House can impeach Trump. It can impeach any federal officer. There are no limitations on the House of Representatives in that regard in the Constitution. Do read it, won't you?

This country has impeached two presidents based on investigations started by the other party. To say the same thing can’t happen to the village idiot is ridiculous.

And last I checked, Mueller’s investigation has earned more in fines and forfeitures than it’s spent. We didn’t task Mueller to show a profit, but he’s doing it.
