President Trump won’t ever make it to impeachment according to Congresswoman Jackie Speier, instead predicting he will resign.
“I have always thought [that Trump] was never going to fulfill his full term,” said Speier, a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. “I am more convinced that he will leave before any impeachment would take place.”
Speier was referencing the possibility that the President might pardon family members or would fire Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Mueller just this week impaneled a grand jury as part of his investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Not sure why all the hyperventilating re: Russia grand jury. Mueller hired 16 prosecutors. Of course there would be GJ. This will take time.

Speier said those potential acts could lead the House to pursue impeachment.
Via Independent:
Donald Trump would resign before Congress is able impeach him, a senior US representative has said, as pressure mounts over his team’s alleged links to Russia.
Jackie Speier, who sits on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, said attempts by the President to pardon members of his family or fire the man appointed to investigate Russian meddling in last year’s presidential election could trigger an impeachment vote.
“I have always thought that he was never going to fulfil (sic) his full term,” she said.
“It is not something that would be happening any time soon but if the President were to act precipitously at any of these situations, pardoning his family members, taking actions to try and get rid of Mr Mueller, I think those would be tipping points and could end up in the House calling for impeachment,” she said.
The Congresswoman though, doesn’t believe it will ever get that far.

Perhaps Speier isn’t the best source for discussing resignations amidst scandal. Especially considering she is tangentially involved in the same scandal that Debbie Wasserman Schultz is currently embroiled in – employing an IT aide recently arrested as he tried to flee the country.
Curious what her thoughts are on Wasserman Schultz, or any other Democrats involved in the scandal, possibly resigning.
What do you think of this Democrats statements warning of Trump’s impeachment or resignation? Share your thoughts below!
The left only HOPES Trump will resign. Their neck is in a noose…. and it belongs there.
I think Pres Trump deserves our prayers, as in part of Psalms 109:8
“Let his days be few, and let another have his office.”
Sound familiar?
Vc: You are a dopey hack!!!!
OK Ms. Speier, here is a little lesson you must have missed. In order to impeach a President, the House of Representatives must by a simple majority, vote to impeach, or 218 votes. The Republicans currently hold 241 seats, and that could well increase in 2018.
Annnnnnd! Even if by some weird twist, the House did some how vote to impeach, the Trial would be held in the US Senate which “””REQUIRES A TWO THIRDS VOTE TO CONVICT!!””” OR 67 VOTES!!! IN WHICH THE REPUBLICANS HAVE A 54 TO 46 MAJORITY!
.
YOU PEOPLE ARE DELUSIONAL!!!
President Trump Never quits! In this case he can’t afford to, the Socialist Liberal Left Hate Trump and will continue to Hound him to his death! They are like a bunch of rabid blood thirsty wolves that will follow him to his grave unless they are the one’s put down!
Jackie Spiere’s is certifiably insane. It’s a genuine psychotic break. She’s suffering Trump Derangement Syndrome so badly, Democrats have so badly forgotten the point of elections, they’re creating castles in the air over scenarios where Hillary could be President. I
Jackie Speier will resign before Trump does.
dream on you walking dead dim libs!!
What a load of Manure , If Trump’s broken any laws , Why was Obama Not Investigated for his Crimes ???
poppDavid:
Did you forget that free enterprise is what all of us ( ‘cept snowflake libtards) are about ?
WHO DOUBLED our national indebtedness in just eight incompetent years ?
Work hard, keep an eye on occupational changes, get a reasonable education, DON’T
have babies at fourteen, count only on yourself for your OWN welfare.
$#it happens: how you perceive it ( find a safe place…keep your ‘blankie’ close…like Linus),
and how you respond to this inevitable change ( blaming OTHERS doesn’t work…only keeps
you as the perpetual “VICTIM)” shows your true character. A perpetual hand-out = a sponge.
A temporary hand-up = building strength.
President Trump IS our President.
Trump has nothing to be impeached on but the democrats on the other hand have many reasons for impeachment and prison time for TREASON and TERRORISM against the United States of America.
Nothing? Trump confessed to obstruction of justice on Lester Holt when he admiitted that he fired Comey because he wanted to stop the Russia investigation, which is what obstruction of justice is. Then to make sure since some people didn’t watch that show, he did it again at the White House which only the Russians could go to he again confessed to OOJ when he bragged to the Russians that he fired that crazy Comey and stopped the Russia investigation. He could have fired Comey for ANY reason or no reason at all but he decided to confess to a crime by doing it on TV …..TWICE!!!
Don’t bet the farm on that one.
Being a Liberal should preclude anyone from anything concerning ‘intelligence’.
Trump is a winner!!…not a quitter! Speier, wants to be noticed, like so many other looney lefties. This is their only opportunity, and that is to ride in the coal bin, of the Trump train. Other than that, nobody knows who they are, because they accomplish nothing.
Trump will not be impeached. And even if he is it means nothing. Remember Bill Clinton was impeached yet he stayed in power and the president.
If there is no justification for his removal I would agree but Trump is going to lie so many times under oath that even HE will agree he needs to be removed. Just to prove that I didn’t just pull this opinion out of my ass…..http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/opinion/commentary/ct-trump-lies-under-oath-20170612-story.html
Don’t make me have to come to D.C. and stomp on some faces and kick butt.
I like how the article says top democrat threatens, lol. I am certain no one outside her home district has ever even heard her name before.
She is a very special kind of idiot.
He is at his best when faced with a challenge. I hate the steady witch hunt, but wait and see. All those new jobs, and the stock market loves him. Dems
spitting tacks. Now MSM may be prosecuted for leaks. Love it.
Desperation will fuel all kinds of wishful thinking! President Trump will trump the naysayers! He has many deuces up his sleeve that he still has not used! Just watch him! He has not begun to fight back!
These stories of resignation are all over the internet, the Democrats are getting desperate and grasping at straws these days.
Trump isn’t a quitter, you must be thinking of Palin.
Trump won’t leave until he has milked the taxpayers of as much money as he can. He publicly gives away $100,000 while accepting $6 million for rental of his resorts on vacations that he controls. That a 60:1 payout. Better than the horse races, and since he gets to pick the winner, much more predictable for him.
STEW PED statement.
Whinny Liberals making bold face accusations and whine when someone calls them on it.
Trump will never leave nor resign. Trump is not a quitter. Trump will Trump on to make America Great Again if it’s the last thing he does in his life. Go Trump!
Jackie forgot…. when she is casting a spell she should do it behind closed doors while naked. It can’t work this way.
He will fight to the end because he needs the power to pardon his family and gang of thieves who’s crooked doings got him elected.
Crooked thieves who got him elected. They would Be Hillary Rotten Clinton and her bunch. Perhaps, just perhaps if they would have played fair the outcome would have been different, though I honestly doubt it, the people a]were tired of the same thing over and over, promise anything and don’t even try to keep your word, politics as usual. That is why Trump won – he was not a politician.
This woman is delusional!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Intelligents and Government Hacks like Speiler has never happened. It is true that the lowest life forms on the Planet is Politicians, like Speiler, and the so called News Media People.
Why would President Trump resign, he has done nothing wrong. The Democrats and better start cleaning their own house first, they are so corrupt it is unbelievable, a good share of them belong in prison.
This is how desperate the Left is. They would rather Trump resign as POTUS than try to impeach him, because they will fail at impeachment and thus, again look like fools. Harassing Trump to the point of him resigning is the easy path for them. Not gonna happen.
Don’t these cabbage brains have any shame?
No they don’t. To them stuff like these ideas are what passes for normal in their world. Bizarre does not even begin to cover it.
They have no idea what 61,943,000 Trump supporters would do to them if they try to do what they are talking about. That Congresswoman should be investigated by Sessions you will find out that she’s a traitor and should be locked up along with DWS, HC. BO, BC,CC, CS, and a bunch of democraps.
If they locked up all the traitors, leakers, lairs, word breakers, etc, they would have to hold a special election in each state to replace all of the confined Democrats so the government could run. On second thought, we might come out ahead if they were not replaced.
If you want to see the Second American Revolution, just try to illegally remove Trump. 61,943,600 people elected him President. Most will not sit calmly by and watch this happen.
And judging from their fear of weapons, they would be vastly out gunned, especially when 97% of the military would be on President Trump’s side. They just can not get over their butt hurt about the “To Be Anointed and Appointed One’ Hillary losing, especially since all of their illegal votes were outweighed by honest ones of real live people.
Didn’t they say that he would drop out of the primaries before he got to any debates? Even that he would concede to Hilary Clinton before the election nite was over?
Yes, and the Fake Polls, even on election day itself, said Hillary had a 95% chance of winning. Ha Ha Ha….
I pray he doesn’t, and I pray he will not be assassinated as is promised by some Congressperson who tells a pastor that it will happen in October and we cannot stop it. This pastor isn’t disclosing who, so we better subpoena the pastor to tell Secret Service who said it and then find out who the other colluders are. This is getting the blood boiling of the Trump supporters who put him in as our President. We will fight to the end for him.
She is just another one of the West Coast wackadoos that the Californians send to congress. She’s putting the cart before the horse and almost sounds like she is threatening the POTUS with consequences for actions that haven’t even occurred yet. Seems like all of the west coast woman suffer from the genetic misfire that causes delusion.
FIRST, they have to have ACTUAL grounds to Impeach him. (MSM continuous stream of LIES don’t count!) Then they would have to have enough votes to succeed. The American People would rise-up first!!!
The ONLY evidence that has been discovered so far is of CORRUPT DNC, HRC, BHO and His ENTIRE Administration!!!
MAGA!! Drain that SWAMP!!
Well said.
What a stupid cunt. We voted for him and he will fight for us as promised.
Hopefully his health will hold up for a second term. He’s likely more popular with his supporters now than he was during the election and he’s certainly trying to fulfill his campaign promises unlike the democrats. The real problem is all those entrenched in congress who want their way regardless of the fact that the american people want a different way. Time to vote them all out and install term limits and make companies face severe penalties for offering them jobs or other perks while they are in office. How many former epa people have gotten jobs at dow or monsanto after throwing their support to those companies and their products.
Resign for what ? Everything he has done is for the good of the people and the country !!!!!!!! If anyone is waiting for him to be impeached, they should be impeached themselves .
Spier predicts Trump will resign not because he knows what Trump is going to do, but because he knew what he himself was going to do. In other words, Spier knew that he would defame, calumniate, provoke, harrass, slander, bedevil, assail, torment, defame, lie and do anything else, by any other means necessary, to make any reasonable person resign. However, one thing he doesn’t know. He doesn’t know Trump.
“Spier knew that he would defame, calumniate, provoke, harrass, slander, bedevil, assail, torment, defame, lie and do anything …..:”
Anastasia Anastasia, Anastasia, one thing you don’t know is anything about Spier. How could you make up such things?
i bet she thought, he wouldn’t get past the primaries, then the election, then would’ve been taken down by now!!!
The idea Trump will resign is the Democrats, and turn coat Republicans, wet dream. In truth, if the do try to impeach President Trump, every member of Congress and every Senator who votes for impeachment will have signed their own GET OUT OF CONGRESS warrant and they will be defeated in their primary at their next election.
Just pay no attention to Dumbasscrap Mexifornia Congresswoman Jackie Speier. She’s just one of Barry ‘Takkiya’ Soetoro’s dreamers, living out her worst nightmare — a Trump Presidency….

Resign? For what? Pardoning his family members? For what? Who is this Jackie Speier? She sits on the Permanent Select Committee on intelligence? What is that? And what intelligence does she show here? The Liberal fleas really can’t stand Donald Trump or his family, can they? Why is that. Because he is strong, and so is his family. They work hard for a living (rather than living off the citizens like the Obamas). By the way, Jackie, if President Trump leaves, we have Mike Pence, a strong Conservative. Just another Liberal snowflake.
The democrat party is full of mentally ill people. Their anger at losing an election has turned them into ferrel creatures with no cognitive capacity. Grind your teeth and stamp your feet until the cows come home you moronic knuckleheads. We Trump supporters feel sorry for your illness but do not wish you a speedy recovery.
He’s a tougher prospect than the disastrous,disengenuious, Democrats can imagine. The people who these globalists have scammed for years will back him to the hilt!
In the most humorous delusions of the demi-craps, one of the many stooges (Sperier) states “Trump will resign rather than face impeachment”. First, the impeachment charges, second the vote, and third the loss of any democrat raised vote. Ain’t gonna happen, girlie. You couldn’t raise enough votes if your lives depended on t.
Jackie Speier is dumb as a rock who listens to her? These California Liberals make me ill, I never vote for them yet they keep getting elected as my representative. Trump is the best thing to happen to our Country in a long, long time and I see more positive things happening on the GOP side than the Democrats side. Actions speak louder than empty meaningless words.
Wishful thinking from another village Idiot! Trump never backs down from a negative; he thrives on it. It is part of making a deal. When ya got nothing, saying stupid stuff gets you noticed for your 15 minutes of fame. Never heard of her until now. Ask me in 15 minutes who she is and I will say WHO?
Speier wishes Trump would resign I wonder what skeletons the investigations are gonna find out about her.it’s amazing the things that come to light and how this whole investigation process is shining a light on the deep state and those trying to protect it
Jackie Speir has no vision, no brains and no intelligence.. What the heck is she doing in the intelligence business? Our great President Trump will NOT, NOT, Resign..! He doesn’t throw in the towel…! Already he has stood up the demonic mainstream media., the satanical Democratic Party, the obstructionists and so much more.. He is fighting a different kind of War and We The People Stand with him all the way through..! He’s not a quitter..He’s a fighter and America’s great Warrior…He is returning the American Spirit back to it’s original Spirit..!
Well said, violet. What do you think the people will do if they pull this? A civil war.
He’s one president I would be proud to fight under.
IF TRUMP IS FORCED TO RESIGN BECAUSE OF THE LIBERALS, YOU CAN TAKE IT TO THE BANK, THERE IS GOING TO BE A LOT OF DEAD LIBERALS TO BURY, WORST THAN THE CIVIL WAR EVER THOUGHT OF !!!!!
I hope Trump doesn’t resign, get “taken out” or be impeached for trying to make America great again but here’s the actual truth about what’s going on in our country.
