While Democrats and the mainstream media throw around the “I” word in relation to President Donald Trump, they conveniently forget at least a dozen times President Barack Obama broke the law and could have been impeached.
The number of scandals that piled up in the Obama years, despite his lies to the contrary, provided more than enough grounds for impeachment, unlike today when Democrats still futilely try to find a crime to pin on President Trump.
Republicans at the time showed no appetite for taking on Mr. Obama, instead let him run roughshod over the Constitution while using “race” as his Get Out Of Jail Free Card.
As Democrats keep trying to invalidate the results of a legitimate election, it’s worth recalling the “dirty dozen” times they looked the other way and kept the GOP cowering in the corner.
It all begins on the next page.
Obama should have never been in the the White House!
That’s all he did was break the law he should have been tossed out on his$#%&!@*after the F&F scandal sending guns to Mexican drug cartels!.
Dale . I believe you hit the nail exactly.
There’s many more than “8” and direct Treason is much more than merely breaking the “Law”
“Accessories after the fact”
Yet he still does no wrong in some people eyes!!!!!!
And in the Article it was stated “Republicans sat idly by due to his race” they didn’t want none of that and be labeled a Bunch of Racist for impeaching the first “Black President”
The guy actually broke laws. Trump hasn’t broken any laws
The GOP agreed with McConnell and they did what they could. They filibustered everything in the senate and they voted against everything in the house.
The do nothing Republican led Congress have been the greatest disservice to the American people. The rise of Donald Trump is a frankenstein creation of the do nothing Republicans and their hatred towards Obama.
Down below is a list of bills Republicans have obstructed under Obama’s reign.
Tax on Companies that ship jobs overseas- A bill that would have eliminated a tax break that companies get when they ship jobs overseas. Republicans blocked this, allowing companies to keep the tax break they receive when they ship jobs to other countries.

Obama is a Treasonous Muslim and his sole purpose has always been to weaken and destroy America internally and he was given 8 full years and did just that. Not this Treasonous criminal knows ALL of America’s most intimate secrets and weaknesses now, He is continuing to work against America and plan more destruction.
He is Truly America’s enemy #1.
He is the snake of the most poisonous kind
If the Treasonous Muslim Obama can double the National debt in 8yrs more than All the Presidents Put Together then we will give A Real Man and Leader Trump a quarter of that to play with.
Russia is a Liberal distraction to try to turn the heads of True Good Americans away from the Treasonous criminal Muslim Obama and his collusion with his Muslim brotherhood Iran to continue destabilizing America.
