Denying Freedom Of Press is Impeachable Offense
It is being widely reported today that the White House has selectively denied access to a news conference by the White House. The first amendment is clear:
Amendment:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
“Abridging”, in this case, is selecting which media shall and shall not be allowed to participate. This clear violation of the constitution by the Trump White House rises to the level of an impeachable offense.

Trump’s actions clearly denies freedom to equally qualified media outlets. This selective punishment of media is a dangerous concept that eventually leads to State sanctioned media.
Impeach Trump Now!!!

There was no new law created nor was there any broken. Merely a change in protocol, as the current press has become accustomed, was all that happened. As has been the usual response of late, an egregious over exaggeration, by those medias who were denied, declaring perceived wrongs (hinting at illegalities) with the only response desired, being the upheaval of the masses.
