The freshman congresswoman wants colleagues to join her in pushing the Judiciary Committee to look into “high crimes and misdemeanors.”

ed note–just as predicted here months ago, that it will be a Palestinian who is made the face of the ‘Impeach Trump’ movement, thus not only further alienating the average American (who understands nothing about the realities of the Middle East situation) against the cause of the Palestinians, but as well (and possibly even more important) affording those powerful Jews heading the committees in the House of Reps such as Nadler, Engel, Schiff, etc the smokescreen through which they can hide their behind-the-scenes efforts in bringing down the Trump administration.

What it also shows is that the ‘Never Trumpers’, whether operating at the level occupied by the congresswoman or by the average pro-Palestinian ‘truther’, are driven purely by their own emotions and nothing more, as evidenced by Tlaib’s ‘gonna impeach the mother******’ statement within hours of her winning her seat. Mueller’s report has been released and the original (stated) reasons for going after Trump–‘collusion with the Russians’–has been definitively established as a non-issue, and yet, these people, despite the official findings, continue to agitate, gyrate, gesticulate, acerbate, bloviate, and in general make spectacles of themselves in coddling and appeasing their own temper tantrums and emotionalism.

As we like to say often here, just as no one ever accused the Jews of being stupid, at the same time, no one ever accused the Gentiles of being smart or shrewd.

House Democrats have mostly shunned talk about pursuing the impeachment of President Donald Trump since the summary of special counsel Robert Mueller’s report was released Sunday and revealed that the investigation had found no criminal collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Democratic leaders in Congress say impeachment is not something they are thinking about as they increase demands that the full Mueller report be made public, not just the four-page summary released by Attorney General William Barr.

But at least one member is pushing forward. Rep. Rashida Tlaib, D-Mich., who has been one of the fiercest advocates for impeachment, is circulating a letter among her colleagues in support of a resolution that would instruct the House Judiciary Committee to investigate whether the president had “committed impeachable offenses.”

“I, firmly, believe that the House Committee on Judiciary should seek out whether President Trump has committed ‘High crimes and Misdemeanors’ as designated by the U.S. Constitution and if the facts support those findings, that Congress begin impeachment proceedings,” Tlaib writes in the letter, which was obtained by NBC News.

Tlaib says the committee should investigate matters outside of what Mueller looked into, including questions about whether Trump violated the Foreign Emoluments Clause, whether he “committed crimes to defraud the United States” by directing Michael Cohen “to make payments to interfere and affect” the 2016 election, and whether there is evidence that Trump obstructed Mueller’s investigation — a charge that the special counsel did not make a judgement on, according to the Barr summary.

While Tlaib is asking for the matters to be looked at as impeachable offenses, House committees are already investigating those issues. Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., has announced that his committee was launching a sweeping probe, explicitly identifying potential violations of the emoluments clause and obstruction of justice as two key areas of focus. The Oversight Committee, on which Tlaib serves, has taken the lead in probing the hush-money payments. Nadler’s committee has also requested documents from some of the key players involved, including Cohen.

Tlaib briefly spoke about her letter at a Tuesday morning closed-door meeting with her Democratic colleagues, but there was no apparent enthusiasm for it, according to two people in the room.

The letter asks members to reply by noon on Wednesday if they’d like to sign on. It’s unclear at this point if anyone has, but it appears that support seems to be minimal from Democratic leadership and even some of Tlaib’s allies.

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., said that she supports impeachment “in principle,” but didn’t say whether she was ready to sign onto Tlaib’s proposal.

“We’re taking a look at it. Members have to pursue what they see is right and what their district wants,” Ocasio-Cortez said.
