could such lunches be seen as an attempt to tamper with the jury if the House votes to impeach?

Trump is aware that the Senate will be both Judge and jury in this matter. Is this improper, and could it be seen by the House as another reason to open another investigation?

He is doing it in front of the cameras for all to see. He is hiding none of it. Brazenly breaking the law with every step he takes.

(83,751 posts)The Congress are doing everything in their power. The Senate doesn't care. Correction, the GOP Senators.

(11,495 posts)or making threats. I think some of them are already compromised, one way or another. It boils down to a choice between country and trump. I used to be a choice between country and the party, but trump has already destroyed the republican party all that is left is the "cult" of trump.

(63,221 posts)My hatred for him only seems to grow. There seems to be no limit to it. This is not healthy.
I want to detach, but as long as he exists, I will always be disturbed and angry. The day he buys the farm will be one of the happiest days of my life.

(22,114 posts)legislative branch of government has got to still work w/ the executive branch of government, in order to keep the government operating. So, what acts are legally questionable (of rump's)?
TwilightZone
(25,471 posts)The Senate is a legislative body. It's only analogous to a jury in relation to the impeachment process. It is not an actual jury, therefore legal concepts like jury tampering do not apply.
