Trump confides to friends he's concerned about impeachment

Despite public declarations that he’s unconcerned, the president has told people close to him he’s alarmed about the prospect of impeachment.

Despite President Donald Trump’s public declaration that he isn’t concerned about impeachment, he has told people close to him in recent days that he is alarmed by the prospect, according to multiple sources.

Trump’s fear about the possibility has escalated as the consequences of federal investigations involving his associates and Democratic control of the House sink in, the sources said, and his allies believe maintaining the support of establishment Republicans he bucked to win election is now critical to saving his presidency.

On Wednesday Trump was delivered another blow when federal prosecutors announced an agreement with American Media Inc, in which the publisher of the National Enquirer admitted to making a $150,000 payment in 2016 to silence a woman alleging an affair with Trump, in coordination with his presidential campaign, to prevent her story from influencing the election.

The agreement with prosecutors in the Southern District of New York follows the admission by the president’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, that he violated campaign finance laws by arranging hush payments to women in 2016 at the direction of Trump.

“The entire question about whether the president committed an impeachable offense now hinges on the testimony of two men: David Pecker and Allen Weisselberg, both cooperating witnesses in the SDNY investigation,” a close Trump ally told NBC News.

Weisselberg is the chief financial officer for Trump organization who was allegedly in the center of the hush money operation. He was reportedly granted immunity for his testimony. Pecker is the chief executive at AMI.

The developments leave Trump as the lone party who argues the payments were not intended to influence the election.

They also come as Trump’s search for a chief of staff is in disarray, with no consensus around a single choice in sight after multiple potential candidates have signaled they’re not interested in the job.

The president has yet to acquire a team to combat the expected influx of congressional investigations and continued fallout from multiple federal investigations of his associates. He’s been calling around to his friends outside the White House and allies on Capitol Hill to vent and get the input. On Wednesday the president wasn’t in the Oval Office until noon.

The White House declined to comment on this report.

Yet despite his frustrations behind the scenes, Trump has tried to maintain a confident public posture.

“It’s hard to impeach somebody who hasn’t done anything wrong and who’s created the greatest economy in the history of our country,” Trump said Tuesday in an interview with Reuters. “I’m not concerned, no. I think that the people would revolt if that happened.”

Some Republican lawmakers have signaled cracks in what has been a solid wall of support for Trump amid intensifying federal investigations after prosecutors said Friday that Trump directed Cohen to arrange illegal payments to two women alleging affairs.

“Am I concerned that the president might be involved in a crime? Of course,” Republican Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana told reporters Tuesday. “The only question is, then, whether or not this so-called hush money is a crime,” he added.

Republican Sen. Marco Rubio of Florida rattled the White House with similarly cautious remarks Sunday when asked about Trump’s possible involvement in the violation of campaign finance laws: “If someone has violated the law, the application of the law should be applied to them like it would to any other citizen in this country, and obviously if you’re in a position of great authority like the presidency that would be the case.”

Rubio said his decision on how Congress should respond to federal investigators’ final findings on the payments “will not be a political decision, it’ll be the fact that we are a nation of laws and no one in this country no matter who you are is above it.”

Republican lawmakers, however, have largely shrugged off the latest twists in the investigations involving Trump’s close associates and have signaled their strong support for him.

The incoming chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, Democrat Jerry Nadler of New York, said that same day that the president may have committed “impeachable offenses.”

Federal prosecutors in New York state in the court documents that the payments violated campaign finance laws and were arranged by Cohen “in coordination with and at the direction of” Trump.

The president has been on a days-long tirade, sources tell NBC News, lashing out at his own staff and lawmakers on Capitol Hill, frustrated by the threat of a Democratic House with subpoena power, an array of looming congressional investigations, multiple intensifying federal probes, a botched effort to find a new chief of staff and a potential partial government shutdown over a lack of funding for his top campaign promise — a border wall.

Trump is relishing the prospect of owning a government shutdown. But Republicans aren’t.

Trump has ranted about why no one around him is doing anything to stop any of it and vented about the lack of support he believes he has in Congress and within his own White House, the sources tell NBC News.

In addition to the much-anticipated report from Mueller on the Russia investigation, Democrats could ask prosecutors in the SDNY to similarly share details of their probe into Cohen that are related to the president.

Trump has in recent days been made aware of this possibility from people close to him, opening up a new vulnerability for the president.

  1. ‘Trump has ranted about why no one around him is doing anything to stop any of it and vented about the lack of support he believes he has in Congress and within his own White House, the sources tell NBC News.’
    Well he is surrounded by quislings, yes men, toadies, sycophants, psychopaths, and assorted goblins, pederasts, and bum bandits. And that’s just for starters.
    Sadly, the only place on earth, it seems, where the interests of ‘nation’ and ‘state’ still appear to coincide are in the formerly eastern bloc countries and Rusklandia. Ironic considering that they suffered the tortures of the damned under 70 yrs of Jeweish Bolshevism. An unintended consequence of which was the fact that, despite being under the Jeweish boot for all that time, their ‘nations’ remained relatively homogeneous and unified in terms of language, history, and culture. The Jewes are urgently trying to change all that. But check out the response of the Hungarian Foreign Minister to this ghastly harridan of a HeBBC reporter calling for open borders in Europe … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFp2iy9F6g0
    However they destroy Trump, destroy him they will and must. There can be no challengers to the Empire of Money (EoM). That’s why there is NO contradiction between ‘Fascism’ and ‘Communism’. They are both centralized command economies which demand obeisance and compliance on the part of the serfs servicing them.
    The outsize power of the Jewes throughout the world and throughout history has, of course been ENTIRELY predicated on usury. Commonly and quaintly defined as the ‘charging of interest on loans’, it actually thinly disguises its real nature. Namely, the conjuring of money out of thin air. Unless Trump or anyone else who dares to rule is willing to challenge this, nothing can or will be done to curb the outsize power of Judea Inc.
    And yet this single issue remains hidden in plain sight. People continue naively think that a ‘British pound’ is actually, ahem, a British pound. Or a ‘French Franc’ a, ahem, French Franc. They are no more British or French than the ‘Federal Reserve Note’ is an American dollar. States simply do not control their own money supplies. If they did, there would be no need whatsoever for ‘income tax’. They would get all the revenue they need from the interest charged on their own money.
    Trump is a David battling a Goliath. And for that he deserves our admiration and support. But I don’t like his chances.
    There is no political solution
    To our troubled evolution
    Have no faith in constitution
    There is no bloody revolution

  2. here are some of the last words of robert parry on his deathbed (a slice of a slice):

    “THE DEMONIZATION OF RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN AND RUSSIA IS JUST THE MOST DANGEROUS FEATURE OF THIS PROPAGANDA PROCESS – and this is where the neocons and the liberal interventionists most significantly come together. The U.S. media’s approach to Russia is now virtually 100 percent propaganda. Does any sentient human being read the New York Times’ or the Washington Post’s coverage of Russia and think that he or she is getting a neutral or unbiased treatment of the facts? … The American people and the West in general are carefully shielded from hearing the ‘other side of the story.’ Indeed to even suggest that there is another side to the story makes you a ‘Putin apologist’ or ‘Kremlin stooge.’
    “WESTERN JOURNALISTS NOW APPARENTLY SEE IT AS THEIR PATRIOTIC DUTY TO HIDE KEY FACTS THAT OTHERWISE WOULD UNDERMINE THE DEMONIZING OF PUTIN AND RUSSIA. Ironically, many ‘liberals’ who cut their teeth on skepticism about the Cold War and the bogus justifications for the Vietnam War now insist that we must all accept whatever the U.S. intelligence community feeds us, even if we’re told to accept the assertions on faith. …
    “THE HATRED OF TRUMP AND PUTIN WAS SO INTENSE THAT OLD-FASHIONED RULES OF JOURNALISM AND FAIRNESS WERE BRUSHED ASIDE. On a personal note, I faced harsh criticism even from friends of many years for refusing to enlist in the anti-Trump ‘Resistance.’ The argument was that Trump was such a unique threat to America and the world that I should join in finding any justification for his ouster. Some people saw my insistence on the same journalistic standards that I had always employed somehow a betrayal.
    “Other people, including senior editors across the mainstream media, began to treat the unproven Russia-gate allegations as flat fact. No skepticism was tolerated and mentioning the obvious bias among the never-Trumpers inside the FBI, Justice Department and intelligence community was decried as an attack on the integrity of the U.S. government’s institutions. Anti-Trump ‘progressives’ were posturing as the true patriots because of their now unquestioning acceptance of the evidence-free proclamations of the U.S. intelligence and law enforcement agencies.
    “HATRED OF TRUMP HAD BECOME LIKE SOME INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS –or perhaps many of my journalistic colleagues had never believed in the principles of journalism that I had embraced throughout my adult life. To me, journalism wasn’t just a cover for political activism; it was a commitment to the American people and the world to tell important news stories as fully and fairly as I could; not to slant the ‘facts’ to ‘get’ some ‘bad’ political leader or ‘guide’ the public in some desired direction.”

    body snatchers is right, and i say this out of kindness and consideration because what i’ve been through at the hands of self-declared trump-hating gentiles can otherwise only be described as persecution by crypto-jews and shabbo sellouts, publicly derided as (do the appropriate translation) “pussy”, “trump’s fellatio provider”, ditto for stalin, whom i also dared portray as resisting the judaic juggernaut.
    the evidence in support of stalin seems to be surfacing in ever increasing quantity and quality lately, although jew’s venom should be the strongest evidence and all that is needed, just as in the case of putin and trump (and jesus and hitler, but go tell those severely handicapped by the protestantism), e.g, recent discoveries published by grover furr, valdas anelauskas and laurent guyenot among others.
    for a quick introduction, see this video interview of a retired israeli intel chief who seems to be having second thoughts about the whole thing
    Israeli Intel Officer: Great Insight Into Goering’s Admirable Nuremberg Testimony (Russian Talk Show)
    just to whet the appetite:

    The officer explains that Stalin insisted that Nazi war criminals receive a trial rather than be immediately executed, to the consternation of Churchill and De Gaulle.

    ed note–as usual, your comments are more than just ‘spot-on’ Lobro. It has been an absolutely amazing phenomenon to watch first hand, how entire swaths within ‘duh muuvmnt’ whose calling card and claim to fame has been how ‘wise’ they are to the ways of Judea, Inc, and yet, how they themselves have fallen into every single one-dimensional trap that has been laid for them in adding their voices to those seeking Trump’s ouster before he can do too much damage to what D’Jooz have planned for us all.
    You have said it many times and I think it bears repeating–we are not dealing with just your normal, run-of-the-mill adversary here, but rather one who has tapped into darker spiritual forces that enables them to ply their black magic over the minds of virtually everyone, including those who claim to be their enemies.

  3. “It’s hard to impeach somebody who hasn’t done anything wrong and who’s created the greatest economy in the history of our country,” Trump said Tuesday in an interview with Reuters.
    LOL! Maybe he should be impeached for being delusional! His only hope now is the “Samson Option”; he needs to blow the lid off a few things to show stupid Americans that our nation is run by Rothschild jewry along with their traitorous minions.

  4. “The entire question about whether the president committed an impeachable offense now hinges on the testimony of two men: David Pecker and Allen Weisselberg, both cooperating witnesses in the SDNY investigation,” a close Trump ally told NBC News.”
    Pecker and Weisselberg — two names that immediately instill feelings of trust../sarc.
    This times of IsRaEl article is from Nov. 7, 2018 which, in politics, is already quite a long time ago. But the words chosen clearly indicates how our enemies (D’Jooz) are seemingly not at all flustered and have everything well under control.

  6. These former deep state Neocons who are behind Trump, will notice and learn from their errors the next time they “have someones back”. (who campaigns as a populist in the Dem and/or GOP Primaries).
    Believe me, I’m not being critical. Trump came from the swamp, NY. Any success you have their requires a lot of shady dealings.
    Next time, they will vet for a queenly-clean candidate, to continue the “re-arranging” of the deck chairs on the Titanic……….
