The Republican response to Rep. Justin Amash is very troubling.

The Republicans are acting like a regime, rather than a party. I am confident with overwhelming evidence of Trump's lawbreaking, there are many Representatives and Senators wondering about their law license as well.

The DNC should reach out to Rep. Justin Amash to ask if there is anything it can do to improve his status after standing up for justice and THE RULE OF LAW.

Bill Barr is no measure to the legal standing of Trump. He is corrupt himself and the 4 page letter is very telling.

Then there is this:

President Donald Trump (click here) lashed out at The New York Times on Monday, disputing the paper’s reporting on his relationship with Deutsche Bank and launching into a broader criticism of the news media.

The president appeared to be responding to a Times report that anti-money laundering experts at the German bank noticed suspicious activity in accounts belonging to Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, in 2016 and 2017. According to the Times, bank executives blocked employees from reporting the suspect transactions to the U.S. Treasury and one former employee says she was fired for raising concerns about the bank’s scrutiny of certain clients....

The Trump regime has to be asking themselves when does all this lawlessness end? 

This isn't speculation from Deutsche Bank. These are facts. I suppose this is the Deep State working at Deutsche Bank, too.

The deception that is Trump is fraying and it is time to realize the president is no longer a person that can be respected. His defense among "the people" is that he is reaching out to the disenfranchised and succeeding. That is not a reason for lawlessness and if the Republican base is disenfranchised, why?

The Red States have some of the worst quality of life statistics in the country. Disenfranchised? You betcha. Where does the working poor even have time in their day to take an interest in their future? Their votes, as demonstrated by the highly anti-medicine abortion law, are based strongly in religious faith. That is an easy one. Even the working poor worries about their soul. But, to turn concern for a soul into a political regime that regularly costs the working poor their very paychecks is a fools' errand. No Democratic candidate asks anyone to violate their faith or give it up. The prolonged BELIEF that the Republicans are where the faithful are safe is as much a deception as their economic policies that benefit the wealthy.

Michigan should be proud of Congressman Justin Amash. He is not a cutout Republican, he thinks and respects the Rule of Law.

Rep. Justin Amash of Michigan, (click here) the first Republican in Congress to accuse President Trump of impeachable conduct, is facing a primary challenge.

State Rep. Jim Lower announced Monday he's running for the western Michigan seat. The announcement came two days after Amash sent a series of tweets , concluding that special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 election reveals Trump "engaged in specific actions and a pattern of behavior that meet the threshold for impeachment."

The 30-year-old Lower, of Greenville, says he made the announcement earlier than planned after Amash attacked Trump....
