A real conspiracy is afoot?

Does the GOP have a plan in hand to impeach Trump, right after he signs their impatient legislation?

Do they have a plan to wait until after inauguration so they can, by technicality, put a Republican Vice President in to replace him?

Do any Democrats know of such a plan? Probably not?

The Republicans had the Russian information and it didn't phase them a bit. They are proceeding with their plan to swear him in on January 20th.

Is this too conspiratorial?

They have the white house for the next 4 years and pence is more favorable than trump.

Trump is a pain in the ass to them and it's very easy to ask democrats to help them get rid of him.

7. But they can get a lot done while Trump has the media distracted.

All Trump has to do in his day job is sign bills passed by Congress into law and sign off on Executive Orders prepared by his staff and cabinet.

Otherwise, Trump is free to be entertainer in chief.

Pence is who they want and offers a "controlled" approach to their agenda. Rather than the loose canon approach.

Trump is a useful idiot. They kick him out of office and the whole country will be too shell shocked to realize what they have done until it's too late.

6. But wouldn't the House choose a new President if Trump is forced to withdraw before inauguration?

If it were to happen? Have they discussed it and do they have a plan?

He will take all the heat for the crap they are pulling. When we complain in the future they will blame it all on Trump

while the KGB cameras whir away in the background. He's going to have to start costing them money.

Remember, that two page summary had a lot more than the golden shower in it. That stuff didn't faze the bastards, either. Put the country in danger? Hey, no problem as long as the cash flow is positive!

all that was already known about that narcissistic, lying, thieving, pussy-grabbing bastard.

We will not be saved by the Rs.

Our Democratic leaders need to hire a team of experts to figure out what they and we the people can to to protect our country from the cataclysmic damage the Trump administration promises to inflict.

from this. The Russians helped him and what does HE KNOW and when did he know it???
This should go to Hillary Clinton.
The entire presidential election needs to be nullified thus all of maggots "administration" gets FLUSHED.
This is exactly what would happen if it were the democrats because republicans would be screaming 24/7.

all they have to do is make it past the inauguration and then they can either impeach Trump for his business deals and install Pence, or impeach them both for the Russian stuff and have the house vote on someone different (Probably Ryan or Romney?)

Nothing else matters but having control through inauguration. Everything they are doing until then is just a stalling tactic.
