TRUMP SAYS HE’S ‘NEVER HAD SO MUCH SUPPORT’ AS CRITICS RIP LATEST INDICTMENT

From WWW.FOXNEWS.COM

Former President Donald Trump boasted that he’s “never had so much support” the morning after he was indicted by a grand jury on federal charges related to his alleged efforts to overturn his loss in the 2020 election.

It’s the second federal indictment brought against Trump in investigations led by Special Counsel Jack Smith, who also probed the former president’s removal and possession of classified documents from the White House.

“Thank you to everyone!!! I have never had so much support on anything before,” Trump wrote in an all-caps message on his Truth Social app.

“This unprecedented indictment of a former (highly successful!) president, & the leading candidate, by far, in both the Republican Party and the 2024 general election, has awoken the world to the corruption, scandal, & failure that has taken place in the United States for the past three years,” the former president said.

“America is a nation in decline, but we will make it great again, greater than ever before. I love you all!!!”

Trump now faces four new charges as of Tuesday evening: conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, attempt to obstruct an official proceeding and conspiracy against rights.

As it played out during his first federal indictment and his previous indictment in New York City, the majority of Republicans – both rivals and supporters – rose to Trump’s defense.

Trump’s top 2024 rival, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, wrote on Twitter, “As President, I will end the weaponization of government, replace the FBI Director, and ensure a single standard of justice for all Americans.”

“While I’ve seen reports, I have not read the indictment. I do, though, believe we need to enact reforms so that Americans have the right to remove cases from Washington, DC to their home districts,” DeSantis said. “Washington, DC is a ‘swamp’ and it is unfair to have to stand trial before a jury that is reflective of the swamp mentality.”… (Read more)

Trump Impeachment Could Be Wiped Off the Records – Rep. Mullin Just Introduced An “Expunge” Resolution

Mark Johnson

Even though former President Donald Trump was never removed from office, the House technically voted to impeach him twice.

Democrats continue to highlight this as a reason for Trump not to run again, though Republicans say there was never any grounds for impeachment.

And now, a Republican running for the Senate wants the records gone.

Rep. Markwayne Mullin from Oklahoma is one of the many GOP members who believe Democrats never proved any wrongdoing on the part of Trump.

As such, he’s making a move to “expunge” the impeachment vote entirely.

This will undoubtedly cause pushback from Democrat lawmakers, many of whom are still annoyed that Trump evaded full impeachment proceedings.

Rep. Mullin says the bottom line is, there just isn’t enough evidence to support such a drastic move.

Oklahoma GOP U.S. Senate candidate Rep. Markwayne Mullin Tuesday is introducing a resolution to expunge former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment – saying Democrats didn’t prove ‘high crimes and misdemeanors.’
Fox News

It’s a 9-page resolution and if the House decides to pass it, Trump’s 2019 impeachment will be “expunged.”

Democrats accused the former President of leveraging U.S. military aid to Ukraine for “political favors.” This included an alleged investigation into the Bidens.

Mullin believes leftist politicians “flippantly exercised one of the gravest and most consequential powers with which the House of Representatives is charged.”

He added:

Impeaching a sitting president is the most serious action Congress can take, and our Constitution is extremely clear on what is an impeachable offense.
Democrats abused our Constitution for their political gain, manipulating a perfect phone call with a vulnerable nation.

The rising GOP star said his resolution is about “restoring credibility to the impeachment process,” and making sure it can’t happen again.

Specifically, the resolution says previous impeachment allegations in U.S. history actually had “well-defined and specific criminal acts.”

But in Trump’s case, Democrats only had “subjunctive accusations of intent” and beyond that, allegations that just weren’t proven.

While impeachment managed to pass the House in both of Trump’s controversial cases, it always stalled in the Senate.

And no Republican voted to impeach Trump the first time around, though 10 did vote to impeach regarding the President’s alleged role in the Jan. 6 incident.

However, those 10 are either facing difficult primary races, or just aren’t running again.

Added to the predictions of a “red wave” for this year’s midterm elections, Republicans are pretty confident they’ll retake the House.
