28. Trump has committed a lot of what should be considered high crimes and misdemeanors.

Declaring a national emergency in direct defiance of Congress and for no good reason, calling the press "the enemy of the people," taking security clearances away from critics, "joking" about staying in office even if he is voted out, willingly and eagerly accepting help from a foreign country to get elected...These don't violate statues, but guilt of high crimes and misdemeanors doesn't require statutes to be violated. These things are the very definition of what a president can't be allowed to do.

As it is, we have to get Trump with an open and shut case of obstruction. If we get that, then hearings can begin to build the case and put together appropriate articles of impeachment. The Republican Senate will let Trump off, but we need to make sure the American people see them making the dirty "bad call" on video.

I agree. If not, tRump will say how weak the democrats are ... and how they could RKP5637 Jul 2019 #23

I don't think he went out of his way at all, I think the laws that we expected/hoped were in play mr_lebowski Jul 2019 #29

I don't disagree. However one couches it, Impeachment for these matters is pretty much over Hoyt Jul 2019 #31

Agree on that point, and would've appreciated a whole lot more ... mr_lebowski Jul 2019 #32

Exactly. But, he didn't. Oh well, in any event, there is the 2020 election. Hoyt Jul 2019 #34

Yup, there is that. Allow me to add my big hope for the testimony, posted on another thread mr_lebowski Jul 2019 #37
