Political observers are not impressed with Geraldo Rivera‘s evening proclamation that he’ll single-handedly block any impeachment effort against President Donald Trump.
Throughout Wednesday, Rivera railed against Robert Mueller on Twitter after the special counsel held his press conference and said: “if we had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.”

If this was poker and Special Counsel Mueller was the dealer, he has just handed @SpeakerPelosi a pair of deuces. Holding that weak and muddled hand, does she hold 'em, or do she and her caucus fold em? I'm betting #Impeachment goes nowhere. @realDonaldTrump would run the table.

"if we had had confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so," said #RobertMueller. Thanks for nothing Bob. You are not saying there is "probable cause" a crime was committed, you're saying there is "possible" cause.
Geraldo Rivera
Given the presumption of innocence-which @realDonaldTrump enjoys along with all the rest of us-the mere Possibility that he Attempted to commit a Possible crime is no way to run an #Impeachment. Get over it. He shouldn't have gotten angry, but then, he shouldn't have been stalked
Geraldo Rivera
Reflecting on #SpecialCounsel Mueller's performance & clicking around dial-obvious at least 2 realities 1-@realDonaldTrump was besieged by haters who weaponized #DOJ. 2-He grew frustrated & imprudent 3-He fumed & postured but however provoked committed no crime, save bluster.
He topped it off with a…strange declaration that if anyone wants to impeach Trump, “you’ll have to come through me.”
Geraldo Rivera
Fair Warning, as I did with Bill Clinton in 1997-8, I tonight announce that if you want to impeach this president on these facts you'll have to come through me.
That last tweet gathered a lot of attention throughout the internet, and the reactions have been a mixture of mockery and questions of what kind of ability Rivera thinks he has to stop impeachment from happening.

First, we have go through Al Capone's vault. Then you.
You posted that at 10 eastern so I’m chalking that up to alcohol. I’m also guessing you’re safely at home. You wouldn’t run your face like that out in public, drunk or sober

This is going to come as a big surprise to Madison and Hamilton...
Tim Wise
come through you? Do u still labor under the illusion that anyone cares what u think? You're a Trump sycophant & have been 4 a long time. We see you...please find Trump's tax returns, maybe in Capone's vault or move on. Note: showing your chest hair will not be a rebuttal to this
Helen Kennedy
They did impeach him. Guess they came through you?

"Gentlemen, desperate times call for desperate measures." "No!" "Yes, we must!" "But, sir! -" "Silence!.....Unleash the Geraldo"

Honestly the least scary thing I've ever heard. I've been more unnerved by a baby goat.

Imagine possessing this sort of unearned ego. What a sad stooge.

Ah yes, the famous ‘go through Geraldo Rivera’ clause of the Constitution.

You're a global punchline.
