Impeachment is for UNACCEPTABLE WRONGDOING by a President - NOT limited to technical crimes.

It's up to Congress to fully expose the wrongdoing - with impeachment investigations, proceedings - perhaps an impeachment trial...

And ultimately up to the public as to whether these fully exposed wrongdoings are deemed acceptable.


Presidential abuses of power are not usually crimes technically - but are considered "high crimes and misdemeanors" as referred to in the Impeachment Clause.

We never needed Mueller to find crimes - (though he obviously feels he found them as far as obstruction of justice).

Nothing Nixon did unto itself would constitute a specific technical crime.

Trump is guilty of this crime in plain sight: 18 U.S. Code  3. Accessory after the fact

Trump and his campaign knew the Russians had hacked the DNC, Hillary, Podesta and were interfering in our election, but publicly said they weren't - vouching and covering for them when in office, and repeatedly covering for them as a candidate.

18 U.S. Code § 3. Accessory after the fact
U.S. Code
Notes
Authorities (CFR)
