Putin Says Trump's Impeachment Is Based on 'Absolutely Made-Up Reasons'

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

“Your congressmen know better,” the Russian president said

Russian President Vladimir Putin said that President Donald Trump will not be impeached because Democrats went ahead with the process for “made-up reasons.”

Putin made the remarks during his annual press conference in Russia on Thursday. He said that since the Democrats “lost the election” in 2016 and were not able to oust Trump using accusations of collusion with Russia, they are now going about his removal “by other means.”

Putin also expressed doubts the Republican-controlled Senate would vote to impeach one of their own, saying, “I doubt they will want to expel from power their party representative based on what I think are absolutely made-up reasons.” Putin continued echoing Republican talking points (which are from Putin himself) and said, “It then turned out that there was no collusion and it could not form the basis for impeachment, and now there is this made-up pressure on Ukraine.”

Putin then seemed to imply that House Democrats were intentionally being dishonest with their charges against Trump and snarked, “But your congressmen know better.”

Putin recalled trump for a quiet word and to give him a chance to explain how he screwed up a simple assignment, which was to invent a plausible excuse not to send Ukraine the $391 million?
