You do realize that this (also) will backfire making Liberals look so un-American that they will never rule again, don't ya?

I'm loving msnbc's seriously low 'likes', 'retweets' and 'comments', pathetic just like their viewing numbers! Trump2020

It makes sense if u are going to do this.. have a formal vote.. then both sides have subpoena power and equal investigation.. otherwise, it’s politics and not serious.

I think the house Democrats should give the Prez. a break over this matter. It’s a big distraction to the Prez. Let him do his job without being interrupted. Whatever the case may be, let’s all learn to help one another. It’s the element that counts.

🐘s have mastered making the argument w/the disconnect from their words&actions proving nobody in their rightmindshould EVER vote 🐘,because,🐘s are wrong on everything,&only pretend they dont know it,when howthey lie is so stupideverysmartperson can tell they know theyre lying😂

No link to the actual letter. Nice. Real nice. It is literally 8 pages. Go read it people!!!

Arrêt Nixon CourSuprême 1993 .. Impeachment

3 coequal branches of government. By design, to impede corruption and illegal activities against our democracy. Trump’s team appears to disavow this long standing constitutional norm.

Have RepAdamSchiff SpeakerPelosi already sent this letter to the courts for fast-track review & ruling? Why don't they take affirmative actions & go straight to SCOTUS? Yes, its stacked in Trumps' favor, but I would think (naively) that they would work to the rule of law?

There are no legal arguments against impeachment. It either is or it isn't. Sad that Trump's WhiteHouse is as ignorant of the Constitution as he is.

Think maybe now Trump sits quietly listening to (Phil Collins - Against All Odds) while looking at a Pic of Him and Michael Cohen Embracing in a gleeful hand shake. ' how could I just let you walk away' ' just let you leave with out a trace' while pondering the mess he's in...🤦🏻‍♂️

That will never happen he really is crazy

How did the White House write a letter?

Urges them to abandon? Sounds like pleading or begging to please not do it. They're going to try to take advantage of Democrats timid indecisiveness. Democrats can implode at times. They are frightened as hell. They're looking at impeachment swings in polls & the church-

*faulty legal arguments *dubious legal arguments *shaky legal arguments See how easy that was? I’m so sick of false equivalence. partoftheproblem

Argument one: If you Impeach and remove me I won't be President anymore.

He already admitted to (1) abusing his power, and (2) breaking his oath of office. Time for Trump to go. ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW

. why not discuss how TheDemocrats don't have a legitimate reason to impeach and how they're just trying to scam the American people, again? That's the conversation that everybody should be having. That way we don't live in a bubble with pre-approved thoughts and opinions

Just lock him up on the South Lawn in public stocks.

The democrats are only mud slinging.. They know they will lose badly lolz

There's nothing legal in his arguments. The argument is purely propaganda.

Is this how corrupt mob style guilty folks looks like!

Demanding....

There are no “legal” arguments that do not first recognize the Constitution of The United States of America. Congress is a co-equal branch of a triumvirate government; Legislative, Judicial, Executive. All have oversight authority over the other to prevent and abate corruption.

The subject cannot peer from the WH window then duck and just pretend not to be home.

Read the full letter: Trump White House says it will no longer cooperate with the House impeachment inquiry.

I encourage the irs to not seek taxes to pay for trumps crimes

I’m really bad at memes, but “Surrender Dorothy” has got to be out there somewhere!

Trump’s legal team has ordered the Acme impeachment defense plans. Super genius!

If your rowing in a lifeboat from the Titanic to the shore, you don’t abandon the raft.

I hope one of the reasons is, Trump is to stupid to testify!

Would someone explain to Donny the Ditz that's not how it works.

SpeakerPelosi, don’t let them get away with this.

Without reading I'm going to guess that....none of them are applicable/real?

ImpeachDonaldTrumpNOW

Trump is a crook and a liar, and everyone with the ability to think even a little bit critically knows this.

You know your getting to him when all he thinks about is how to stop you. Trumps the only one who thinks he can stop the impeachment investigation. His advisors and lawyers know they don’t stand a chance because nothing is stronger than the Constitution.

And I want a brand new Dodge Charger delivered to my drive way immediately . How does it feel to want?

No legal argument. These are talking points. BTW, the polls are now at 55% in favor of an impeachment inquiry...the most swing seen is now the college educated white male. ImpeachmentTaskForce

He might want to Google how impeachment works. Its NOT a criminal trial. Its more like a grand jury.

I’ve got one thing to gesture at that. 🖕

Wow, this is how democracy looks like ?
