Yes, you read that correctly \u2013 President Trump does want to be impeached.\u00a0 Here is why.\u00a0 Very early on in the Special Counsel Investigation into Russian involvement in the 2016 election, the President stated that if the investigation crossed into areas of his family or his business interests, that would be a \u201cred line\u201d for him.\u00a0 At the time, some thought it was little more than bravado.\u00a0 In retrospect, it was strong insight into the President\u2019s mindset and he likely should have avoided such a statement.\u00a0 President Trump has good reason not to want, or even allow, the Special Counsel Investigation to explore his family and international business dealings.\u00a0 He would rather be impeached than have that specific information become public and especially for it to become part of a potentially criminal investigation.<\/p>\n
Many insightful, credible commentators (political, economic, and business writers) have speculated that for decades the Trump business interests have been involved in questionable real estate transactions, business arrangements, and even money laundering for Russian and other international criminal enterprises.\u00a0 It is highly likely that Trump family members and close advisors have criminal exposure in at least some of these transactions.\u00a0 Thus, the President\u2019s \u201cred line\u201d about looking into his family and businesses.\u00a0 While he may go on the offensive with public statements about \u201cwitch hunts\u201d and conspiracies, he knows better than anyone what occurred, and the potential consequences and he knows it is now matter of time before Special Counsel Mueller\u2019s team knows.\u00a0 And then it is too late for him.<\/p>\n
Republican leaders have suggested the President would likely end his presidency, or at least create a Constitutional crisis of epic proportions, if he fires Special Counsel Mueller and most likely also Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein.\u00a0 This means he seriously risks impeachment and removal from office if he does so.\u00a0 The President obviously believes that if he is impeached for this, the investigation ends without further discovery of damaging evidence of criminal transactions.\u00a0 Maybe he believes that would preclude charges as well.\u00a0 In any case, what he knows is that he absolutely does not want any further discovery or even inquiry into his affairs (pun intended).<\/p>\n
The President\u2019s unhinged tirade Monday evening is further proof of his desperation to end the investigation at any cost.\u00a0 While we have become too conditioned to receive daily doses of Trumpian dishonesty, his comments Monday were revealing.\u00a0 First, he was meeting with the war cabinet on this incredibly serious issue of Syria and U.S. military options to respond to continued use of chemical weapons and barbarism by Assad against his own people.\u00a0 Yet he could neither focus on the mission at hand nor control himself.\u00a0 Despite being surrounded by military leaders assembled for this crucial, singular purpose, the President demeaned himself and those there to advise him on Syria by his completely off-topic tirade.\u00a0 He then discussed the unlawful \u201cbreak-in\u201d of his attorney Michael Cohen\u2019s office.\u00a0 It was neither unlawful nor a break-in.\u00a0 The FBI properly executed a search after going through the multi-step heightened review process required for an attorney\u2019s office, which was done for concerns over evidence destruction by Cohen.\u00a0 President Trump then blamed Robert Mueller.\u00a0 This was not done by the Special Counsel or his team.\u00a0 This was coordinated by the U.S. Attorney\u2019s office in New York City working independently from the Special Counsel.\u00a0 And of course, we then heard the familiar, but totally baseless claims of a Democratic conspiracy which are so easily disproven.\u00a0 While there may be agents assigned to the investigation who vote Democratic, there will always be agents of varying political, legal, and other views on any investigation and that has no impact on their work.\u00a0 The agents working this case have proven records of achievement.\u00a0 More importantly, all of the directors and decision-makers are Republicans, most of whom were appointed by Donald Trump.\u00a0 Trump appointed Attorney General Sessions, Deputy AG Rosenstein, and FBI Director Wray.\u00a0 The judges approving the search warrants and FISA warrants are Republican appointees.\u00a0 Robert Mueller is a lifelong loyal Republican with impeccable professionalism, dedication, and ability.\u00a0 The only conspiracy is being conducted by Trump allies to cover up their impropriety.<\/p>\n
President Trump sees the proverbial writing on the wall and knows it is now just a matter of time until incredibly embarrassing and likely incriminating evidence comes to light.\u00a0 He knows that he and his children, as well as close advisors, may face serious jeopardy.\u00a0 He knows his sham business empire will crumble.\u00a0 And he would rather be impeached than let it all happen.\u00a0 He will fire Robert Mueller, directly or through his agents, in a desperate attempt to stop the investigation from reaching its logical conclusion.\u00a0 And he will risk impeachment to do it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
