Wednesday on MSNBC’s “All In,” Rep. Al Green (D-TX) impeachment of President Donald Trump over a Washington Post report that President Trump has told officials he will issue pardons if government employees have to break laws to get the border wall done.
When asked if the pardon offer is impeachable, Green said, “Yes, it does constitute an impeachable offense.”
He continued, “He is willing to do whatever he thinks he can to satiate his base. He has promised them wall. He will deliver a wall by any means possible.”
He added, “He is encouraging the breaking of the law and a president can’t do this.”

Nonsense.
I swear, the President could take a bathroom break at noon and its IMPEACHMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These people are nuts.
Please name any person who claims to have heard Trump say this. Fake news.
Breaking which “law”?
legitimate statutes, or the spurious (and ultimately reversible) commandments of left wing judges?
At least getting two scoops of ice cream while everyone else got one was on the news for days as just rude rather than an impeachable offense. But that was tge only one.
Did he sneeze? I heard him sneeze! IMPEACH!!
Green has a one-track mind and a small one at that.
The Geico caveman thinks Trump’s very existence is a reason to impeach him. Hey, Al, go back to Texas and get on the bad side of a drug cartel or something, will ya?
Meanwhile, demonrat politicians continue to flagrantly violate 8 USC 1324, harboring, aiding, and abetting criminal illegal aliens, and even helping them to illegally enter the country.
Al Green??? How this guy ever gets elected to anything is beyond me. Not only is he an idiot, he also is probably the ugliest member of congress.
Al Green is an insult to idiots everywhere.
So. Something President Trump HAS NOT DONE....
is an impeachable offense? Why is this moron not running for president. He’d fit right in.
Censure this black bigot
What’s this, his 5th excuse for impeaching Trump?
This guy is a broken record. His district includes some of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Houston and in all of America, like Sunnyside and Sharpstown, and all he can talk about is impeachment.
As usual, another liberal trying to throw crap against the wall seeing if it will stick and it it doesn’t, to make sure it leaves a stain sliding down.
In the United States, the pardon power for offenses against the United States is granted to the President of the United States under Article II, Section 2 of the United States Constitution which states that the President “shall have power to grant reprieves and pardons for offenses against the United States, except in cases of impeachment”
The president cannot pardon an offence that hasn’t been tried and convicted. So, he’s not overturning a court case, he’s forgiving someone for their action. If you are going to stop this, then you better arrest every Christian in the country. And while you’re at it, get every judge that turned loose a criminal or every prosecutor or attorney that made a deal to get someone free. Then you can go after the supreme court justices that admitted to using foreign law interpretations in their decisions here.
Now you have no judicial capacity anywhere. Who is going to make them guilty to start with? Slippery slope....Equal protection under the law: 14th Amendment, 1868.

These single “Unnamed Source” pranksters are playing these TDS sufferers like a Jack Benny violin.
another insane idiot
> “Yes, it does constitute an impeachable offense.” <
He’s right, you know. Because Congress has the sole power to define just what an impeachable offense is. And the “high crimes” thing? That does not mean a serious crime. It means any misbehavior by a high official.
Heck, Benjamin Franklin once remarked that a president could be impeached just for being rude.
Now, should Trump be impeached? Of course not. But Congress has the right to try anyway, using the flimsiest of reasons.
T or HO gauge?
