History professor predicts Mueller will reveal Trump crimes that will 'shock the nation' and

force GOP to impeach.

'Historian Allan Lichtman is known for making accurate predictions — and he’s more certain than ever that President Donald Trump will be impeached this spring.

The American University history professor has correctly predicted the winner of every presidential election since 1984, including Trump, and he has recently updated his book, The Case for Impeachment, that was released in April — before the president fired FBI director James Comey and special counsel Robert Mueller was appointed.

“There’s as strong a case of obstruction of justice as there was against Bill Clinton on a vastly more important matter than a blue dress,” Lichtman told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.” “Remember, virtually every Republican voted for an obstruction article against Bill Clinton.”

He said the special counsel investigation almost certainly had more damning evidence of illegal cooperation between the Trump campaign and Russia, which he said would soon be revealed.'>>>

However, I think it unlikely that a Republican congress would impeach Trump.


The worse it looks, the stronger the Republicans will cling to him.

Already, they have not spoken up to him for some pretty amazing stuff he has presented the country with. So what, pray tell, would make them speak up if they are now silent?

They will need all the more to cling to him, the deeper he goes.

So good news/bad news.

Bad news: they don't impeach.]

Good news: the Rs cling to him to the end, forever associating the Republican Party with Trump among a new generation of voters who already don't like him.

Time is on our side. (if he doesn't blow us up in the meantime....)

“I wouldn’t keep saying collusion isn’t a crime,” Lichtman said. “Of course not, but taking things of value from foreign nationals is a crime, aiding and abetting illegal computer hacking is a crime, negotiating as a private citizen with a hostile foreign power with which there is disputes is a crime. If this is serious enough, and I’ve taken a lot of flak for that, I think there even could be charges of treason. After all, Russia was waging war against us — not a war with bombs and bullets, but a cyber attack, an online attack designed to destroy democracy.”

I've said in multiple threads that treason is on the table and financial crimes along w/ income tax evasions are real.
Hold on to your hats folks. Trump is not near the problem as is his cult.

of what the special counsel knows about the relationship between Trump and the Trump team and the Russians. There’s a fair chance that the reason they were covering up all of those calls from then to be national security adviser with the Russians was to cover up a possible quid pro quo, the Russians will help us and in turn we’ll ease those sanctions. Why else make those calls and why else lie about them?”'

Do you think the old Soviet Union is dead? Do you really think there's no such thing as the USSR since the Berlin Wall fell? Do you really believe these filthy old murdering communist pricks really just gave up their ideological commitment to destroy democracy and went quietly into the night? Do you really think the "Russian Confederation," which comprises all of the old Soviet republics, is something new and fresh and dedicated to making the world a better place? Enjoy your vodka and cucumbers and potatoes if you do.

The GOP already knows what he did. Many of them were also involved. I don't think they'll ever impeach him.

And if people aren't already shocked and disgusted by what we already see and know, there is no hope for those people. I just saw a poll that showed 40 % don't see his first year as a failure. Only 53% say it was. This sickens me to the core. What the hell is wrong with people?! There seems to be a lot of "i don't care about politics" coupled with the hatred of "libtards" that's keeping this crapshow going. I'm more angry at the people not caring and not paying attention than the ones who just hate us. How much ambien should i take to put myself in a coma until Nov 6?
