Andrew McCarthy predicts bad impeachment news for Donald Trump after the actions he took in Syria. GOP senators are enraged by Turkey’s invasion.
McCarthy believes Turkey’s invasion of Syria could crack the President’s impeachment firewall.
There is rage over Trump’s decision. It is rage over a policy choice, not over high crimes and misdemeanors. Only the most blindly angry can doubt the lawfulness of the commander-in-chief’s movement of U.S. soldiers, even though it rendered inevitable the Turks’ rout of the Kurds, McCarthy writes.
Many Americans will find his actions defensible, but the senators might be a different story. They are enraged.
The senators have finally become enraged. Democrats turning the country into a socialist hellhole didn’t enrage them. Having power taken from them didn’t enrage them. Lies about them in the media didn’t enrage them. Leaving the borders open did not enrage them. Not to belittle the plight of the Kurds but it was the Kurds 7,000 miles away that enraged them.
It’s not clear yet how bad it will be. Democrats are jumping on this, belittling senators who don’t turn against the President.
REACTIONS WON’T BE GOOD

The President’s decision to abandon our Kurd allies in the face of an assault by Turkey is a betrayal. It says that America is an unreliable ally; it facilitates ISIS resurgence; and it presages another humanitarian disaster. https://t.co/Tu8ARa8Pmp

It would also be DISGRACEFUL if we sat idly by while Turkey slaughters the Kurds, as public reports suggest that Turkish leader Erdogan explicitly told President Trump he intends to do. Kurds risked their lives—for many years—to fight alongside us.

The Kurds have been at war with Syria for the last 30 years. We have no doubt they will also destroy the Turkish troops, if they interfere with their aim. That’s a war in the Middle East, we should not be involved with. We have nothing in Syria that would benefit the U.S.. Leave the Muslims to fight their wars and bring our young soldiers home.
GOP Turncoats!
Trump pulls a couple of dozen of our remaining troops out of the area, and all hell breaks loose. In the area where our troops were, and in DC.
That region in the mideast has been in turmoil for most of the history of those people there. And, it continues.
In DC, the critters need to get their reactions in check. I’m thinking the ones complaining the most have some interest in the US troops staying involved in the region. Usually, a financial interest. Follow the money.
Just sayin’.
McCarthy has been waiting for the right moment to resume attacking Trump. His book was released during his pro-Trump act and he appeared on many shows to sell it. Now that he has faked supporting justice, he can resume his real self.
He got the Russian collusion thing wrong for 2 years, he has a bad record of predictions. In this situation, he is joining with other phony conservatives to pile on the president for impeachment.
Go ahead Republicans, just try to attack our president. It will be the last thing your ever do. You ALL will be replaced.
Warmongering cowards on the right and left.
