AP Analysis: It doesn’t take a crime to impeach a president
AP ^ | September 27, 2019 | MARK SHERMAN

If House Democrats press ahead with impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, their case will rest in large part on the claim that he sought a foreign government’s help, with hundreds of millions of dollars in aid in the balance, to dig up dirt on a political opponent to boost his reelection campaign.

But, if true, would that be a crime? The answer might not matter. It doesn’t take a criminal act to impeach a president.

The democrats strategy, no crime is needed to impeach the president. The president’s authority can be challenged by a closed door committee session for any reason. They control the media, the most of all internet news so they will be defining what ever “rules” they wish, just google can the president be impeached without a crime, and this story is top result. They will accuse anybody who speaks the truth as misleading as in this CNN interview :

Which is why Pelosi is AFRAID TO FILE ARTICLES OF IMPEACHMENT!

Because she'd lose and Trump would be formally vindicated.

So, she and LYING Schiff will continue this fraud of an inquiry, which has NO DUE PROCESS.

"It doesn’t take a criminal act to impeach a president."

Wow. Dancing along on the volcano's rim, the Democrat Party is.

So I guess just not liking the President is enough. Let’s file that away for the future.

Why does the left keep saying Trump was trying to get dirt on Biden? Then they say Biden did nothing wrong. What’s the dirt?

This is the Democrat grab for the perpetual criminalization of any opposing view or political opponent. These people are insane.

Basically they've discarded the Constitution with its separation of powers and become a Parliament.

The article is completely correct. No crime is required to impeach, only the requisite number of votes in the House.

So a president can’t be impeached solely on the basis of dislike?

Sure he can.

But then it’s not impeachment. It’s a coup.

What cracks me up is that now that they’ve “formalized” the “rules” for the inquiry, they believe their subpoena’s have the force of law.

Well there’s the Rs i the senate to stop this unless the deep state has Terrible goods on too many.

And GOD FORBID the unthinkable happens, we go to war.

We meet in designated locations and take it from there.

GOD that would SUCK!!

I can’t even believe what’s happening.

Neither could the Jews.

But they were a SMALL minority and had no guns.

She said today that inquiry would now be going beyond the Ukraine issue which tells me they have nothing there.

The AP should analyze what it takes to start a Civil War.

“...they say Biden did nothing wrong...”

Biden, on video tape, admits to quid pro quo...

President Trump’s transcript of the phone cll shows absolutely no quid pro quo...

All the democrats can talk about is impeaching Trump basically for quid pro quo...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm????????
