Opinion: House Democratic chairmen need to keep pounding away on these points
By Jennifer Rubin Jennifer Rubin Opinion writer covering politics and policy, foreign and domestic Email Bio Follow Opinion writer March 4 at 10:15 AM Republicans keep insisting that the Democrats’ game plan since the appointment of special counsel Robert S. Mueller III has been impeachment. This is wishful thinking, praying Democrats will do for President Trump what Newt Gingrich and the Republicans did for Bill Clinton: swing and miss, thereby making themselves look unhinged and untrustworthy.
NADLER: Our core job is to protect the rule of law, and there have been no investigations [under Republicans].
But we have to lay out for the American people and we can’t depend on the Mueller investigation for this. The Mueller investigation, number one, we don’t know when it’s ending despite lots of rumors, number two it’s focused on specific crimes. . . . STEPHANOPOULOS: One final question. The president put out a tweet yesterday morning — early yesterday morning, want to show it up on the screen, “Very proud of perhaps the greatest golf course anywhere in the world. Also furthers U.K. relationship.” That of course is a Trump golf course in Scotland. Many ethics experts came out and said that’s a violation of the emoluments clause. Do you agree?
As we have noticed, if Democrats spend the next year following the facts and the money, maybe revealing possible crimes but also just outright deceit , Democrats won’t need to impeach him, not if they’ve convinced an electoral majority this guy needs to get booted out and face law enforcement. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff echoed this precise point: “Well, I think there is direct evidence [of collusion] in the emails from the Russians through their intermediary offering dirt on Hillary Clinton as part of what is described in writing as the Russian government effort to help elect Donald Trump. They offer that dirt.” He continued, “There is an acceptance of that offer in writing from the president’s son Don Jr., and there is overt acts in furtherance of that.
