Dazed & Confused House Republicans - The Aftermath Of Impeachment Inquiry Rules Vote

GOP Propaganda on the House Floor
While top GOP House leadership posture on the farce of the impeachment process, masticating on the DNC farce to remove Trump from office, they have absolutely no clue of what is actually being covered up.

Someone in Republican Party needs to get with Justin Amish with the quickness because the heavans are about to fall on top of them all.

Cocktalis & Popcorn: Does Justin Amash Know Mariia Butina? - He Resigned From House Freedom Caucus

Justin Amash if from Michigan.

Justin Amish knows John Conyers, Jr.

Justin Amash read the Mueller Report that was in the basement of the Rayburn Building, for six weeks, where only a handful of Members took the opportunity to look at it.

Grand Rapids is in his Congressional District, where the DeVos Dynasty was created.

Justin Amash knows about Medicaid Fraud in Child Welfare, Alpha Bank and Spectrum Health.

Justin Amash knows about the Kent County Land Bank.

Justin Amash knows about the Michigan GOP and its relations with the NRA.

Justin Amash knows about SIGTARP.

I am wondering if Justin Amash knows Mariia Butina.

We should definitely ask him in House Judiciary impeachment proceedings.

REPUBLICAN TRUMP CRITIC JUSTIN AMASH RESIGNS FROM HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS

Michigan Republican Rep. Justin Amash resigned from the House Freedom Caucus Monday, citing his efforts to not be “a further distraction for the group.”

“I have the highest regard for [the caucus], and they’re my close friends,” Amash, who is a founding member of the House Freedom Caucus and the lone Republican of the group to call for impeaching the president, told CNN. “I didn’t want to be a further distraction for the group.”

The libertarian congressman’s decision comes in the wake of a series of tweets last month accusing President Donald Trump of having committed “impeachable offenses.”

“Here are my principal conclusions,” Amash, an outspoken GOP critic of the president, on Twitter last month. “1. Attorney General Barr has deliberately misrepresented Mueller’s report. 2. President Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct. 3. Partisanship has eroded our system of checks and balances. 4. Few members of Congress have read the report.”

“Contrary to Barr’s portrayal, Mueller’s report reveals that President Trump engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment,” Amash continued.

The Michigan lawmaker’s stand likely alienated him from many of his Republican colleagues. Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul called the Mueller Report itself the “antithesis of libertarianism” when discussing Amash’s position. GOP chairwoman Ronna McDaniel accused him of “parroting the Democrats’ talking points on Russia.”

Amash told Freedom Caucus members about his decision at a board meeting Monday night, CNN reported.

“It was a positive meeting. It wasn’t negative,” he told CNN.

CNN reported that Amash “emphasized his decision was voluntary and that he remains on good terms with his colleagues.”

Cocktails & Popcorn: Amash Read The Unredacted Mueller Report But Has He Reached Out To Rashida

U.S. Justin Amash read the uredacted Mueller Report on Russian Interference in the 2016 Election.

No one else in Congress wants to read the unredacted Mueller Report, not even Nancy Pelosi.

I wonder if Rashida Tlaib has read the unredacted Mueller Report.

Someone should ask her.

U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr read the unredacted Mueller Report and published a memo.

No one liked his memo.

Many did not like his interview.

Now, Justin speaks the forbidden words of impeachment.

I wonder if he has reach out to Rashida, yet.

Rashida campaigned on impeachment.

He used to work with the 13th Congressional Office, alot, you know.

Lawmakers Seek Answers About How Government Would Use New Hacking Authority, One Month Before Rule 41 Amendments Would Take Effect


Washington, D.C. –A bipartisan coalition of Senate and House lawmakers today asked Attorney General Loretta Lynch to provide Congress with more information about a proposed expansion of government hacking and surveillance powers.

Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., Judiciary Committee member Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Ranking Member Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., with House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Rep. John Conyers, Jr., D-Mich., and senior Judiciary Committee member Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, led a bipartisan group of 23 lawmakers asking for more information about the proposal, formally known as amendments to Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Criminal ProcedureUnless Congress acts, these new amendments are scheduled to go into effect on December 1.

“We are concerned about the full scope of the new authority that would be provided to the Department of Justice,” the lawmakers wrote. “We believe that Congress -- and the American public -- must better understand the Department’s need for the proposed amendments, how the Department intends to use its proposed new powers, and the potential consequences to our digital security before these rules go into effect.”

 The lawmakers ask DOJ a number of questions about how Rule 41 will be used, including:
  • The letter was also signed by: Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wisc., Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., Sen. Steve Daines, R-Mont., Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii, Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont, Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., Sen. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M. and Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., Jason Chaffetz, R-Utah., Rep. Judy Chu, D-Calif., Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., Rep. Suzan DelBene, D-Wash., Rep. Louie Gohmert, R-Texas, Rep. Hank Johnson, D-Ga., Rep. Ted Lieu, D-Calif., Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., and Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.

Conyers Floor Statement on Amendment Ending the NSA’s Mass Surveillance of Americans


(WASHINGTON) – Today, the U.S. House of Representatives considered H.R. 2397, the “Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2014.” Congressman John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich.) and Congressman Justin Amash (R-Mich.) offered an amendment to this legislation that would curtail the blanket collection of telephone records by the National Security Agency (NSA). During the debate over this amendment Rep. Conyers delivered the following statement:

U.S. Representative
John Conyers, Jr.
“I rise in support this amendment, which I am cosponsoring with my colleague from Michigan, Representative Justin Amash. This amendment will prevent mass collection of personal records, such as phone calling information, under Section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act.  When Congress passed and later revised this provision, we did not intend for it to authorize the bulk, indiscriminate collection of personal information of individuals not under investigation.

“However, we have learned that this law has been misused to allow the collection of call detail information on every phone call made in the United States under a bizarre interpretation of the statute’s authorization to collect “relevant” information.  As my colleague and author of the statute, Representative Jim Sensenbrenner, has stated, ‘This expansive characterization of relevance makes a mockery of the legal standard.’

“This amendment will not stop the proper use of PATRIOT Act and FISA authorities to conduct terrorism and intelligence investigations.  All this amendment is intended to do is curtail the ongoing dragnet collection and storage of the personal records of innocent Americans.

“Our joining together on this bipartisan amendment demonstrates our joint commitment to ensuring that our fight against terrorism and espionage follows the rule of law and the clear intent of the statutes passed by Congress.  I urge my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to vote for this amendment to demonstrate our bipartisan commitment to protecting individual liberty.”
