Ed Koch Predicts Push to Impeach Bush
Some congressional leaders will push for President Bush’s impeachment now that the Democrats have taken control of the House and possibly the Senate, former New York Mayor Ed Koch predicts.
“I expect that [Rep. John] Conyers as chairman [of the House Judiciary Committee], now with great freedom, will do anything he can to commence such impeachment or investigatory activity, and we’ll see whether Pelosi will prevent it,” Koch says.

Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in line to become the first female speaker of the House of Representatives in U.S. history, has said that impeachment proceedings against Bush are “off the table,” according to a report in The Washington Post.
With the resounding Democratic victory on Tuesday, however, Conyers, D-Mich., is set to take over the chairmanship of the House Judiciary Committee.
Earlier this summer, Conyers issued a 350-page “investigative report” on the Bush administration that was widely viewed as a road map for Bush’s impeachment if the Democrats took control of the House. Conyers charged that the Bush administration had violated “approximately 26 laws and regulations.”
The Judiciary Committee would initiate any impeachment proceeding.
If Conyers were able to use his chairmanship to launch an impeachment investigation of Bush, Koch warns, the effect would be “devastating.”
“The reason I supported, and still support, President Bush with respect to foreign policy on the issue of international terrorism is that I believe that it is an extraordinary threat to the U.S.,” Koch tells NewsMax. “And I regret that too many in the Democratic Party don’t appreciate the danger.”

Thanks for posting this here, Dymphna. I think it is highly likely that there will be a big push to impeach Bush. In fact, while Pelosi said "Impeachment is off the table," she also said investigations are on the table, and "we'll see where that will lead."
In other words, investigations aren't really off the table.
Pelosi speak with forked tongue and half-brain.
But as I said at Gates, there will be an impeachment of Bush and Cheney over Hillary's dead body. No coronation of President Pelosi will ever take place while Hillary draws breath. Never. Ever.
Maybe if the Republicans hadn't been so worked up over the last President's pathetic sex life, we wouldn't be where this is an issue. I want nothing more politically than these stupid pseudo-crimes be stopped. I don't want Bush impeached. I don't want it to be on the table. I did not want Clinton impeached. Can't we please stop this bullshit? There actually are real issues out there, and both the left and the right are both guilty of replacing the real issues with garbage.
I would feel much more comfortable with Republicans saying the Democrat's investigations are unreasonable if they would also admit that the entire Clinton impeachment garbage was a huge mistake. I almost think that Nixon's impeachment was a mistake if it lead to this, though Nixon at least deserved his impeachment.
Good point, Demosthenes. I'm with you on that. If you want proof, go check my blog entry from today over at CUANAS. It's called: "Sow The Wind ..."
The Dems have no intention to govern the next two years. They smell blood in the water and will try to destroy the Republican Party in any way to regain the WH. When that's done, they will start implementing their 'progressive' agenda.
BIG TEST for Rahm Emanuel wing...

This is ROME ~90 BC.
All actions of the executive and his helpers lead to charges requiring punishment later ...the Gracchi, Marius, Sulla, Pompey, Cicero, Caesar ... the mechanics of a republic cannot withstand this kind of repeated all out partisan punishment.
Who in either party is the STATESMAN to say "ENOUGH"..who is patriot enough?
Democrats in charge of Congress. Bolton out of the UN. Impeachment proceedings against Bush. Cut and Run. Why don't we just whip up a nice big NUKE US sign and hang it on all our butts in clear sight of the Islamofascists. Oh yeah, and their North Korean buddies too.
Forthelovvagawd, if anyone out there has not read Phares yet, please go down to the nearest stinkin' Borders and make them order you copy.
BTW Ed Koch, from one of your old NYC Greenwich Village neighbors, sounds to me like you're still doin' OK.
