Rep. Justin Amash is the first GOP lawmaker to suggest President Trump should be removed from office

Republican Rep. Justin Amash, a vocal critic of Donald Trump, said the president had engaged in “impeachable conduct,” becoming the first GOP lawmaker to suggest Mr. Trump should be removed from office.

In a lengthy series of tweets on Saturday, Mr. Amash said he had read the redacted version of special counsel Robert Mueller’s 448-page report on Russian interference in the 2016 election and concluded that Mr. Trump had sought to obstruct justice.

Why?

Follow the money

Sounds great get a wicker basket and a limo and get this creep outta here

Read his tweets nothing new he apparently used what is out in tge media to craft a left leaning response

The tariffs to MAGA seem to be affecting someone’s wallet. So what we are finding is the setup to make a profit on trade because of the deficit. Amash family profit at the expense of America must be put to rest.

Lawmakers with allegiance to 2 separate nations should be removed from office.

Wow a GOP Rep who isn't a coward and is thinking about country vs. Party. Thank GOD He read the report obviously!!

Republicans are Disgusted with Trump and his illegal activities. Rep's jumping ship as quickly as they can and lining up to IMPEACH TRUMP.

I was opposed to impeachment too, but in the end, anything less is basically saying this behavior is okay, as long as its not politically the appropriate time to stand up for what is right.

Knock Knock. Who’s there? Congressman Amash. Congressman Amash who? Precisely.

——- GOOD FOR HIM. NOW FOR THE REST OF THEM. —-

Check this reps. experience and track record.

someone with guts unlike rest of gutless mitch the con republicants !

For WHAT, exactly? For Cutting our Taxes? For the Lowest Unemployment rate among minorities? For 3.2% GDP Growth---after Obama said we'd never see that kind of growth again?

This man is feeding a National disgrace. He is literally helping Putin by continuing this travesty. I have to wonder if Israel policy or just sickening lust for fame drives this clown? There is no shortage of empty suits in American politics today. He has no care for the nation.

Amash is a Democrat in the Republican Party...a Disgrace, Garbage! He'd say anything to get attention because He's A NOBODY!! Disgusting excuse of a human being!! ALWAYS saying something Stupid, it will backfire, cutting his own throat which is fine with Republicans!

Amash sounds like a traitor to his political party, a lot like Mitt Romney.

Justin who?

GOPistheProblem GOPdeadtome

justinamash Slight correction in spelling - AMASsHole.. There, that's better... realDonaldTrump

There is hope!

A NEVER TRUMPER!! MUST BE COUNTRY CLUB REPUBLICAN!!!

So... when the House impeached Bill Clinton 5 Dem's voted in favor ... while 8 Repb's against.

And two months later he’s coming out of the woodwork Is he coherent? I’m thinking Huber’s team showed up on his doorstep asking some questions. Now impeach is his focus to save his own arse.

This guy's part of a Repugnican effort to get the House to spend political capital on impechment instead of passing legislation helpful to Americans on to Senate They'll all be shot down by obstructionist mitchmconnell who only wants to seat conservative judges.

If you check the background of this traitor, Justin Amash, you will understand his position

We're in America. These elected officials should value that or we may be coming for you next. STOP the hogwash.justinamash

Maybe Rep Amash should be voted out of office.

Its time to vote amish out of office hes no conservative or republican get that piece of trash out of office

People still on this 🤣

Removed he should be in prison

Known him since he was a rich little boy. If Dems want to make a hero out of Justin, they will make fools of themselves. (Not hard to do.) I wouldn't vote for Justin for anything. This is a grandstanding joke.

Idiot justinamash

Just another stupid individual complaining because he is unable to do what POTUS has done. Go Wine somewhere else.

He won't make it through the primaries.

… and the only one ! He is not going to make a great political career !

RINO says whaaat

缺心眼

Anybody can say anything WSJ - Doesn’t mean you have to report it ? On what grounds does this guy think our Pres should be removed ? There are none !

Personal Interests?!?!?!

Ok this guy should be removed then.

First time I see this guy.

Poor congressman.

Amash is full of schiff FullOfSchiff and needs to resign

JUSTIN AMASH SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE! UR ON THE WRONG SIDE! WE’RE TRYING TO MAKE AMERICA GREAT AND RID CORRUPT CROOKS LIKE YOU OUT! CLEAN THE SWAMP! STOP CORRUPT DEMOCRATS STOP CORRUPT SOCIALIST!! MAGA KAG MAGA2020 WALK VOTEDEMOUT

I’ve always liked Justin Amash. I don’t always agree with him, but he sticks to his values. This move is a long time coming. More republicans should look up to Rep Amash to see how to do there jobs properly.

Seeking attention

You just signed your death in politics 😂

30pcs of silver

What has caused him to speak out? I do not trust a single republican. Is this a ploy of some kind?

What would one expect considering the fact that Amash has Palestinian heritage? President Trump is pro Israel—That being said ,Rep. Amash has demonstrated poor form—

And what has this person got to hide, I suggest an investigation into his affairs, as really that's only being fair don't you think People attack when they have something to displace with their Lies about someone of something else that lays in the bottom of their Closet.

why?

Someone gave him a crack pipe and a wad of cash.

Pelosi won't do it! She knows better than all of us, LoL

RT : Rep. Justin Amash is the first GOP lawmaker to suggest President Trump should be ...

About the 1,500th time he has called for Trump’s impeachment. Not even old news. Non news.

Politically for the Democrats, it probably isn’t the best idea. But, as an independent who has voted on both sides of the aisle, I now realize this man must be stopped and held accountable.

RINO

For what? Winning?

Amash and Tlaib have a lot in common

Oh please

That’s fine did he feel Hillary Violated the Espionage Act. If so than maybe he has high standards. If not he’s polled his district and made his decision to go against Trump on the next election.

R I N O

ITS GETTING HOT, ITS TIME TO PRAY FOR OUR NATION

Right on stand for what you believe not the party you joined this is what I like to see a true republican that actually cares for the law and the Constitution, hang in their and talk to your Republican friends about your feelings.

Here’s why...

The Obama Admin&Hillary concoct a hoax against Trump. He &his family are consequently persecuted&slandered for over 2 years by Dems, media& Mueller, yet Amash wants to continue this persecution by punishing Trump, the victim, yet again. Amash’ moral compass is clearly off.

A new democrat

He’s twisted to think our President needs to b impeached. He has done nothing wrong

sad when a Republican, or anyone, buys the shiznet of Mueller.

Who is Amash handler?

It’s a good idea

First GOP lawmaker to have their balls drop, I’m so proud 😌

'Orange Man Bad'

Another Trojan Horse!!!

He read the Mueller report. Every American should read the Mueller report.

The “home of the brave” makes a comeback.

RHINO

I'm a 50 year registered Republican. We need more men like Justin Amash. He's a man of real principle.

💤

Much to do about Mueller. I was looking for SKIM milk. I need a great American brand of Skim milk! A Donald J. Trump! Its all about making America great again! NOT conduct unbecoming, if there is any.

Hard to believe that someone was brave enough to state the obvious.

Amash should smash his in head on pelosi head.

He’s no more a republican than Barak HUSSEIN Obama.

One.

SpeakerPelosi RepJerryNadler DNC GOP HouseDemocrats MittRomney Finally a Republican with a spine to stand up to the Tyranny.

Wise man. Sees handwriting on wall.

Backbone. Word.

Republican in name only shameful Rep Justin Amash is wrong to suggest President Trump should be impeached

Yawn

Finally!!

Dear it was more than a “suggestion”

On what possible basis? He should become a Dem. Join the rest of the Loons. VoteHimOut

I knew my situation and I knew my need for my own private life, You knew We could not choose Our Birth of Place in the very first moment from Infinite in GOD, I wish Our World Human do pardon for my private life deservedly.

Headline News in a lot of our wonderful media. FN amazing the state of our media. Totally worthless.

Go ahead and say he’s nuthin WSJ...this man’s stock is going up. He sees the future and is positioning himself well. Or, just keep at it and go down with Trump...Darwin is at work.

If Congress doesn't impeach Trump, he will win 2020 elections handily.

Never heard of him.

The political reality that trump lives in makes him virtually impervious to impeachment. That coupled with no serious contender in the primaries. ( I love Biden but the mans an ice cream meme common)

His business in China is suffering due to Trump's presidency.

twit

Sucking up to the liberal media may not be a good long-term Republican strategy. This guy will look like the fool he is once the spygate/Mueller hoax is revealed.

Benedict Arnold

Impeach Barr first, then Indict Trump. There is no legal imperative against Indictment only a DOJ policy that holds that indictment would unduly restrict Trump from doing his job. Pence can fill in. He would under Impeachment anyway.

Someone with a backbone in the Republican Party.

“Six Democrats did manage to vote in a manner noting that illegal immigrants should not be allowed to vote, while one Republican, Justin Amash (R-MI), did not.”

So Justin has a little over a year left in office.

no shit?

Finally a Republican with a spine! Maybe a few more will grow a pair

.......Amash is a co-owner of Dynamic Source International, a Chinese company that supplies Michigan Industrial Tools. Dynamic Source Int is located in Hangzhou, China. No wonder Justin Amash’s been attacking Trump and his Tariffs!

I wonder what the Deep State has on him?

Reps are a cult! Trumps words and actions are not to be questioned.

He’s doing more than just suggesting.

Is justinamash a bought & paid for corruptocrat shill of the communist Chinese government? DrainTheSwamp at the freedomcaucus

No sabe lo que dice Causaría un caos mundial Trump es como un mounstro con relleno cremoso Es político no militar Si deja el puesto el vicepresidente Price quedaría en la casa blanca Y el si es militar Tiene todo el apoyo de las fuerzas armadas

Dare him to join the Dems try it!! He won’t, he knows it would be the end for him.

Yaaaayyyyyyyy!!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

A stooge and a egg head.

Amash is Amess.

Doesn’t he own a company in China? Corruptocrat

Give me a break. It’s over . I’m no Trump lover but this is bull schitt. All they have have done with this is cement him for a second term. This was a Coup attempt pure and simple using all possible means. If the Republic means anything to us we should move on from this.

Not a surprise if you follow Amash and his Stage 4 TDS.

Arthurs19562936 This guy is a puss and full blown liberal.

Where does he stand say on clinton destroying evidence ?

Kudos to Rep Amash for choosing country b4 party and preserving his credibility unlike the other traitors

When Trump chooses country over party they accuse him of obstruction and collusion. When an anti Trumper chooses country over party they call it principled

Just for the records, Justin Amash is not a Deep State guy. He is, I assume, a patriot who loves this country and its constitution. My party, Republican, thinks Trump is the constitution and the law. I’m glad Amash stands up for what he believes in, rule of law!

The First, and likely Only, GOP Congressperson to do so. And he’ll be a Democrat by the next election.

Tax evaders❗️

If Amash is really a Republican then I voted for Barrak Obama 3 times.

Looks like someone finally read the report.

He should be removed from office.

Because feelings.

Then he can quietly safe face and change political parties.

justinamash own constituents will remove him from office before PTrump is ever impeached from office.

First and hopefully the last. There can't be that many corrupt Republicans, can there? Maybe I am being optimistic.

Bravery meets honesty, America still has a heartbeat. Thank you Justin for choosing country over political party. 🙏🏻

Libertarians are going to be what saves the American political system. justinamash congratulations for your courage. Stay strong. People are watching.

Let’s follow the money with justinamash watch who has offered to finance him. If you notice he has no accomplishments for his constituents for the 8 yrs he has been in office. Nor has he built up his war chest.

Thank you justinamash, for putting country before party. 🙏

Libertarian dope.

He’s been saying that since 2016 lol

Only Republican with a moral backbone. GOP senatemajldr

Resign Amash

His career is over now. One does not simply speak out against Emperor Cheeto and the fascism train and keep his job in the GOP.

Maybe, other Republicans will get sick-and-tired of the shenanigans and openly agree the same.

One nut

He’s an anti Trumper. And I suspect he has other motives.

BUZZ OFF. Trump is doing a fabulous job! You will fail!

'We cannot let success be associated with our brand' -- he was paraphrased as saying.

Did someone’s wallet take a hit?

Well, he is having a “dreams of my father” moment! Seem like, some of us can’t get past our tortured backgrounds!

Now was that before or after he got Nadler's balls stuck to his chin?

lol

This is a swamp dweller showing his true colors. Why would any honorable person want to remove an innocent man from office?

He’s always been a never trumper, not news

Good man

probably first member of GOP House to read the report

Vote this guy out.

Rep. who?

Must have Qatari donors?

Yawn
