Despite pushback from his own party, Rep. Justin Amash (R-MI) is continuing to lay out a case to impeach the president for obstruction of justice. Today he is even saying, “Some of the president’s actions were inherently corrupt.”
Dan Rather says:
Can Twitter be a vehicle for poetic justice? Watching GOP Congressman Justin Amash use President Trump’s favorite communications tool to attack the legal legitimacy of his presidency is a sight to behold. (The whole thread is quite the read)
Here are some of the tweets:
Mueller’s report describes a consistent effort by the president to use his office to obstruct or otherwise corruptly impede the Russian election interference investigation because it put his interests at risk.
The president has an obligation not to violate the public trust, including using official powers for corrupt purposes. For instance, presidents have the authority to nominate judges, but a president couldn’t select someone to nominate because they’d promised the president money.
And he adds:
Ultimately, the investigation did uncover very unflattering information about the president, his family, his associates, his campaign, and his business.
t also revealed criminal activities, some of which were committed by people in Trump’s orbit and, in the case of Michael Cohen’s campaign finance violation, on Trump’s behalf.
