House Lawyer Hints at Expansion of Impeachment Probe

A House of Representatives lawyer has suggested that the impeachment proceedings against President Trump will go beyond his dealings with Ukraine.

According to The Hill:

The top House lawyer told a judge on Tuesday that Democrats’ impeachment inquiry into President Trump may go beyond the president’s dealings with Ukraine.

House General Counsel Doug Letter told U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell that the impeachment inquiry could also span obstruction of justice and lying to the American people, CNN reports.

“I can’t emphasize enough, it’s not just Ukraine,” Letter said, according to the outlet.

Letter appeared in court in Washington, D.C., as the House Judiciary Committee pushes to get grand jury evidence behind former special counsel Robert Mueller’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election.

It was also stated by Letter that he believes that President Trump can be impeached for lying to the American people. The only problem is every president should have been impeached using these standards.

The only thing the Dumbocrats have have accomplished in 3 years is to harass President Trump! They are consumed with trying to invoke their Communist agenda on us. This whole impeachment scam is going to blowup on them. We need to rid congress of Nancy, Chuck, AOC, Ihlan, and many others.

It looks like the left is trying to push this country into a civil war, because that is exactly what they are going to get if they continue this illegal coup. I guess they don’t realize that the side of the American patriot is far better armed than their side.

Ah yes, A Fall Cleaning in The House Of Representatives; flush out The Globalists, ferret out the Socialists, track down the RINOS. Big Game demands stalking, waiting, getting up close, and surgical use of the bess, the sweeper, the hip-cannon. Must be close enough to smell their coffee, or lunch, or that last drink you watched them take. Oh hell yes, A Fall Cleaning for The House!

Democrats can’t win an election but they sure can lose the next election.

The writers above should remember that in last election 59 Republicans retired along with Paul Ryan paving the way for this majority and Speaker Pelosi.
One of the things that all Trump supporters should point out is look what he has accomplished in spite of constant harassment and what might he do with a Congress that wanted to work for American people.

Just what section of the us code is lying to the American People” under. Is it somewhere in one of the State Revised Codes? Is it felony or misdemeanor> Is it anything like “read my lips, no new taxes” or more like “If you like your doctor you can keep your doctor” ?

If we can’t find it there maybe we could expand it to see if the President helped the Russians hack the Hill-rat’s illegal server.

Where did this chump get his law degree, Harvard, where the graduates think it was called “World War Eleven”?

Wouldn’t be surprised if Letter is a Soros-paid troll and goose-stepping stooge of the Deep State.

Let me get this straight. It is clear that there was no violation of any law and no quid pro quo in any conversation with Ukraine President. It is clear that the persons claiming “Whistle Blower” status violated their security clearance requirements (a felony). It is clear the the whistle blowers gave specific information to their attorneys and that those attorneys do not have clearance to hear the actual secret information. It is also clear that the Dem Party changed the rules for whistle blower information SPECIFICALLY fort his political purpose. Therefore it is clear that there is a criminal intent and purpose by the democrat party, in fact a CONSPIRACY.
IT is also clear that the “whistle blowers” did NOT attempt to use the legally required internal processes to begin an investigation and or correction of problems (a requirement of “whistle blower status in almost 100% of the time). This means that the whistle blowers are NOT covered under the law as such, instead they have committed multiple FELONIES.
Bottom line: Anyone who was given knowledge of SECRET information without need to know and without clearance is a FELON, including the attorneys involved. The Whistle blowers were not cleared and did not have need to know any of this, therefore they came into possession of (erroneous) information classified as secret. In fact the ONLY whistle blowing they could have legally done was to report whoever leaked the information to them as that is a FELONY as well.
I had clearances and believe me this is NOT how it is done at all. There are RULES and PROCESSES that MUST be followed BEFORE someone can become a whistle blower, especially in conditions of SECRET CLEARANCES. Releasing secret information even to be a whistle blower is in fact a felony.

Mueller flopped all over the place to find something, and it backfired. Duh.

  • Well now, Doug Letter, how can you expand on what you are trying FORMER Pres. Trump for? Whatever the House voted on is the only thing for which he can be tried. If you go after him for “lying to the American people,” then Biden will have to be impeached for running for the presidency promising no increase in taxes under $400,000, Now as president, his administration is telling us everyone’s taxes must be raised to cover “climate change.” What a joke!!
