Justin Amash: ‘Highly Incriminating Transcript’ of Ukraine Phone Call Justifies Trump’s Impeachment
Palestinian-American Congressman Justin Amash (I-MI) continues to wage a legislative Jihad against President Donald Trump, claiming that the contents of the rough transcript of his phone call with Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky released earlier today were “highly incriminating.”
Yesterday, I had expected the WH to release an unremarkable transcript to distract from the main issues: the whistleblower complaint and other abuses. Today, it released a highly incriminating transcript, and it seems POTUS doesn’t know the difference between right and wrong.

Amash misquoted the President and deliberately misrepresented the rough transcript, perhaps in an act of Taqiyyah, to bolster his case to impeach the President.
Trump: I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike.…
The other thing, there’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do…

In the actual transcript, Trump merely expressed concerns about Cloudflare, the private security contractor that investigated the DNC’s hacked servers, and Vice President Joe Biden’s corrupt activities that he admitted publicly.
“I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it,” Trump said to Zelensky about Crowdstrike.
“I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say Crowdstrike … I guess you have one of your wealthy people… The server, they say Ukraine has it,” Trump added.
“There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it … It sounds horrible to me,” Trump said to Zelensky about Biden.
Because he is pushing for accountability, Amash wants Trump’s head on a pike. This is consistent with the behavior of Amash in recent months, as the Republican turncoat has become a cheerleader for impeachment alongside the likes of Islamic Reps. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Ilhan Omar (D-MN).
You are putting country first, and that is to be commended. We both took an oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution. Please let me know if you are interested signing on to the resolution to begin the investigation into impeachment. https://t.co/f5CT3uB81d

It has long been rumored that Amash is building his case for a presidential run in 2020, hoping to peel voters away from President Trump in the crucial battleground state of Michigan. He has flirted with the idea openly with the fake news boosting his national recognition at every turn.
“There’s no shortage of possibilities, and I just don’t want to rule things out. I think about them and make decisions according to what I think will make a difference,” Amash said to reporters when asked about the possibility of a presidential run.
“And, you know, you also only run for things if you feel like there’s a good possibility of winning,” Amash added. “So you have to weigh all these factors.”
The Libertarian Party, which became a national punchline in 2016 for the gaffe-plagued run of former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson, has indicated that they would likely welcome Amash with open arms.
“It’s definitely a path that seems like it’s open to him,” Libertarian Party Chairman Nick Sarwark said of Amash’s presidential run in his party.
“There is excitement. There is an organized effort by people within the party to draft him, to encourage him to jump over and get into the race. I haven’t really seen that kind of heavy draft effort since probably people tried to get Ron Paul to run as a Libertarian again in ’08,” Sarwark added.
Amash will likely announce his spoiler campaign for the presidency in the upcoming months, with the hopes of giving the country back to Democrats due to his intense, personal hatred of President Trump and his “America First” agenda.
