During another one of his Twitter tirades this week, Donald Trump swore that he would fight impeachment all the way to the Supreme Court if he has to, telling us that the Mueller report showed he didn’t commit any crimes. Not only is that not the case, but there are plenty of other crimes that we can verify have been committed by this administration that could easily be used as impeachment fodder against him. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this. Link –

Donald Trump's stupidity is never going to stop. Astounding me. A great example is what's been taking place this entire week. She, early in the week, Donald Trump was asked point blank if he is worried about impeachment. And he said, no, not at all. Not a concern in the world. I'm good. And then he literally spend the rest of the week complaining about impeachment or the possibility of impeachment or Democrats investigating him, indicating that this is a man who isn't going one second of the day without thinking about impeachment. And in fact, on Wednesday, he actually tweeted out that, I swear, if they impeach me, I'm gonna fight this all the way to the supreme court. Uh, here's this tweet. The Mueller report, despite being written by angry Democrats and Trump haters and with unlimited money behind it, $35 million didn't lay a glove on me. I did nothing wrong. If the partisan dims ever tried to impeach, I would first head to the U S Supreme Court. Not only are there no high crimes and misdemeanors, there are no crimes by me at all. First of all, uh, Manafort how to surrender $42 million in assets. So technically the Mueller probe made a profit.
So stop talking about the cost because that makes you look like an idiot. Second of all, the Supreme Court is not going to have any say in any kind of impeachment hearing whatsoever based on a 1993 ruling that the supreme court actually made. They can't do anything about it. Buddy, how about you look at some case law. How bout you have a legal advisor that actually knows the law working for you or on your legal team? Because in 1993, the u s supreme court refused to get involved in an impeachment case that was allegedly brought for political purposes, but they said, hey, this isn't a, this isn't our arena. This isn't something we can handle. We can't do anything about this. Best of luck on your future endeavors. The Supreme Court's own precedent says that they can't get involved. Now if the House Democrats did choose to impeach and then it went over to the Senate for trial, John Roberts, chief justice of theU s supreme court would preside over that. But believe it or not, even though he is a massive corporatist, he does seem to hate civil rights. John Roberts has actually been fairly reasonable on a couple of rulings and he is not the always guaranteed right wing voter that Republicans think he will be.
