Trump calls Republican Justin Amash ‘a loser’ for urging impeachment

 

President Trump lashed out at Rep. Justin Amash on Sunday, calling the Michigan Republican a “loser” who is playing into the hands of Democrats by calling for the president’s impeachment. Amash is the first Republican in Congress to back impeachment efforts, saying Saturday that special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia report showed Trump had committed impeachable offenses. Trump responded by calling Amash a “lightweight” for his libertarian views that have often put him at odds with his Republican colleagues.

 

“If he actually read the biased Mueller Report, ‘composed’ by 18 Angry Dems who hated Trump, he would see that it was nevertheless strong on NO COLLUSION and, ultimately, NO OBSTRUCTION,” Trump tweeted. “Anyway, how do you Obstruct when there is no crime and, in fact, the crimes were committed by the other side? Justin is a loser who sadly plays right into our opponents hands!”

 

Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election concluded there was no criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russians. Mueller detailed 10 instances of possible obstruction of justice but did not make a determination as to whether Trump obstructed. Attorney General William Barr made that determination instead, defending the president’s actions as made by someone frustrated and angry by an investigation he saw as politically motivated. “Contrary to Barr’s portrayal, Mueller’s report reveals that President Trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment,” Amash said Saturday.

Devin Nunes 'likely' sending obstruction criminal referral over Steele-State Department meeting

 

Rep. Devin Nunes, R-Calif., said on Sunday that he may send another criminal referral to the Justice Department. During an interview on Fox News, Nunes said notes about a meeting between Trump dossier author Christopher Steele and a State Department official were withheld from the House Intelligence Committee during its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election that wrapped up last year.

 

"It's likely now, as we do our investigation as to why we didn't get this information that we've just been discussing from the State Department two years ago when we should have received it, there could be another referral coming on obstruction a congressional investigation," he said. Newly released notes from an Oct. 11, 2016, meeting between Steele and former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Kathleen Kavalec cast doubt on the reliability of his dossier and called into question the information provided to the court in the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act application that was submitted later that month against onetime Trump campaign adviser Carter Page. The notes, which Kavalec is believed to have emailed to the FBI in mid-October, indicate that Steele knew he had been hired by Hillary Clinton's campaign and the Democratic National Committee and had been told they wanted his findings made public prior to the 2016 election on Nov. 8.

 

The Daily Caller reported the notes show Steele identified Russian sources, including former Russian foreign intelligence director Vyacheslav Trubnikov and Vladislav Surkov, an aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin. Nunes said Clinton's campaign and the DNC "plainly colluded" with the Russians to receive and disseminate false information about Trump.

 

Last month, Nunes notified the Justice Department of "several potential violations of the law" in eight criminal referrals as part of an investigation into origins of the Trump-Russia investigation. The notes from the Steele-Kavalec meeting came out after special counsel Robert Mueller found no criminal conspiracy between the Trump campaign and the Russian government. The House Intelligence Committee found no Trump-Russia collusion in its assessment. Attorney General William Barr has tasked U.S. Attorney John Durham from Connecticut with reviewing the origins of the federal Russia investigation.

I do remember that. I believe he has a different agenda from his stated one. Perhaps we will find out he has been a direct benefactor to some of these terrorist organizations.
