Two-thirds of voters say Democrats want to impeach Trump more than help Americans

What's sad about this? 1/5 of Americans think dems in congress want to help Americans more than impeach Trump.

The kicker?

And the shocking sidebar: A majority of Democrats, 53%, believe this is the case too, said pollster Jonathan Zogby.

McCain I take it?

Democrats: Trump is a threat to our democracy! We have to impeach him and remove him from office immediately!
Democrats after they impeach him: we are in no hurry to send the articles of impeachment to the senate.

What an absolute shit show.

Fake News. How interesting this conservative rag is quoting a poll that isn't even on Zogby's website. Smells like serious bullshit.

True. Republicans are still like "Just how crazy are Democrats?" And Democrats are still like "LOL! Fuck the rule of law and our Democracy! ORANGE MAN BAD!!!!"

Trump settled that lawsuit just to get it over with. Even the judge on the case recognized that the money Trump's charity raised went to the people it was supposed to go to. The whole thing was yet another Democrat shakedown because ORANGE MAN BAD!

I think it's fairly irrelevant to impeachment. And he's not accused, he's admitted to misusing the funds.

As part of the settlement, Mr. Trump, who at first dismissed the suit as a political attack, made 19 detailed admissions, acknowledging, for example, that the foundation had purchased the $10,000 portrait of himself that was ultimately displayed at one of his Florida hotels.

He admitted to using the foundation’s money to settle obligations of some of his for-profit companies, including a golf club in Westchester County, N.Y., and Mar-a-Lago, his private club in Florida which he frequently visits.

And he admitted that the foundation had given his presidential campaign control over about $2.8 million that the foundation had raised at a veterans fund-raiser in Iowa in January 2016. Mr. Trump acknowledged the fund-raiser was in fact a campaign event.

The Trump Foundation, which Mr. Trump founded in 1987, disbanded last December after an investigation by Barbara Underwood, then-acting attorney general of New York. Ms. Underwood’s office found “unlawful coordination with the Trump presidential campaign, repeated and willful self-dealing, and much more.”

It is illegal for charitable foundations to advance the self-interests of their executives.
