Ex-GOP congressman: Ryan would look into impeachment if a Democratic president acted like Trump

Former South Carolina Rep. Bob Inglis fired off a series of tweets Friday challenging a claim by House Speaker Paul Ryan that Republicans wouldn’t try to impeach a Democratic president accused of the same actions as President Trump.

Inglis, who served on the House judiciary committee that impeached former President Bill Clinton, wrote to Ryan: “You know that you would be inquiring into impeachment if this were a D.”​

Absolutely. And then would probably start yet another Benghazi/email hearing just for ****s and giggles.

This is nonsense of-course.
Obama and his administration were exceedingly corrupt, did you see Ryan filing for articles of impeachment ?

Noop, and impeach Trump for what exactly ?

He absolutely was. From illegally propping up Insurance companies with billions of dollars from the Treasury to his NSA's widespread illegal unmasking of American citizens, Obama and his admin were absolutely corrupt

The SCOTUS would disagree with you in the criminality of The AHA. But you are on a mission so don't let the law tell you want is and isn't illegal.

The unmasking is a diversion that you guys are clinging to. Have yet to see any credible evidence to anything about that. Just a bunch of RW crocodile tears trying to use it as a diversion.

Me thinks you don't know what "corrupt" means.

And no, evidence of widespread illegal unmaskings arent the diversion. Russian collusion and obstruction are the diversions.

Instead of taking your "Opinion" piece at it's word, I went and dug up a real article on it.

In my own defense, I'm not putting the cart before the horse. I just want all these investigations to reach a fair conclusion. If there's collusion by members of this country whether Republican or Democrat, I think the American people need to know so that such individuals can be held to account. If the president-elect and now POTUS was aware that anyone from his presidential campaign gave aid to Russian operatives but turned a blind eye to it, the American people have a right to know about that and the impeachment process of a setting President should commence post-hast! By that same token, if the Pres. Trump's cumulative actions are determined to equate to interfering with or attempting to impeded an ongoing investigation by federal law enforcement agencies, the House should impeach him and the Senate should find him guilty. But first thing's first.

Let's see what the findings are to these investigations and take things from there.

To the point of this thread, Former South Carolina Rep. Bob Inglis is correct. If Trump had a "D" by his name instead of an "R", he'd be calling for a full investigation if not drafting impeaching documents himself!

Homework for you: find me a single quote from Ryan in that article.
Click to expand...

OK.

During a press conference, Ryan said after the testimony that Republicans wouldn’t point to impeachment if Comey had been testifying about a Democratic president. Meanwhile, some Democrats have already called for Trump’s impeachment, claiming that Trump obstructed justice.

Ryan, who called Trump’s alleged request for Comey’s loyalty “obviously” inappropriate Wednesday, had told reporters Thursday, “No. I don’t think we would [pursue impeachment], actually. I don’t think that’s at all the case.”

LOL. What you've posted is actually evidence AGAINST the claim Obama was exceedingly corrupt. You have to point to "illegally propping up insurance companies" that is too vague to be even a claim (when, how, how illegal, was it done in the open or behind closed doors?) and pointing out that the NSA has been trampling on our liberties, since probably forever in every administration. It's what they do.

OK, wrong that there were no quotes and wrong in the quote above, too. I'm afraid I can't give you an A.

They need to keep any story they can about impeachment in the news, no matter how outrageous. Seems they will literally go with anything as long as they can publish the word "impeachment" with it. They just want to keep it in the news, even though there is no basis for it.

That is Inglis opinion. Ryan didn't agree with his opinion. That is what is so dishonest about bringing Ryan's name as part of the article, it is Inglis' ****ty partisan opinion.

But Inglis' ****ty opinion is literally the subject of the OP. It's not "dishonest" for a former GOP Congressman to speculate that if the POTUS were a D, that Ryan would be at LEAST running multiple serious investigations, with a purpose. You're speculating that he's wrong - are YOU being "dishonest" with your speculation?

Besides, we all know damn well if the POTUS was a Democrat, there would be multiple, with a purpose, House investigations going on. Hell, BENGHAZI!!!! got about 23 hearings or so, I lost count. Russian hacking our elections, trying to swing the results? Ryan gives it a big old yaaawwwnnnn.... I'm not sure the House is even still investigating.

Because prior to Comey being fired, there was no evidence of collusion from any investigative agency. All Congressional leadership knew it. Comey refused to admit it publicly while selectively leaking. He SHOULD have been fired under those conditions.

Of course whether DJT himself was colluding isn't the only thing being investigated. So even if there still isn't evidence of DJT colluding, that fact does NOT mean there is not a serious investigation with a serious threat to the Trump administration. I hate to bring up Watergate, but of course Nixon didn't break into the Watergate hotel, his people did. And no one has asserted that there is no evidence of wrongdoing by Trump's staff.

BTW, Trump firing Comey for the reason you just stated is pretty good evidence of obstruction.... Just sayin...

The problem is Comey was the leak source. He admitted that but refused to leak anything but negative information. Based on that alone, he should have been fired. He refused to state publicly his boss was not under investigation for collusion. Based on that, he was refusing to help the PR of the administration. Again, a reason to be fired. Comey liked the spotlight. As an investigator, a bad trait, another reason to be fired. He made prosecutorial decisions....another reason.

There were multiple reasons to fire Comey, and legally, he could be fired.
