For the first time, a Republican member of Congress has gone on record suggesting that one of the scandals engulfing President Donald Trump could be an impeachable offense. Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.) said Wednesday that if Trump did indeed ask former FBI Director James Comey to drop the bureau's investigation into former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, then that would constitute grounds for impeachment, according to the Hill's Cristina Marcos. If the allegations in Comey memo are true, are they grounds for impeachment?@justinamash: "Yes." — Cristina Marcos (@cimarcos) May 17, 2017 Amash's comments follow Tuesday night's bombshell New York Times report that in a private February meeting with Comey in the Oval Office, Trump allegedly told the then-FBI chief: "I hope you can see your way clear to letting this go, to letting Flynn go." Comey, according to the Times' sources, was uncomfortable with the exchange and documented it in a contemporaneous memo that he shared with just a few senior FBI and Department of Justice officials.
