The inability to articulate a crime of any kind, or even to articulate a reasonable hypothesis of a crime, means that the democrats truly are engaged in a witch hunt.
As you can see from this article, a witch hunt is an attainder. It is an effort to have a person tainted by constant harrassment, fake accusations, etc.
So President Trump can have his picture next to that definition on internet dictionaries. Who has been harassed and falsely accused as much as he?
No one.
It doesn’t matter what the Constitution says, Pelosi and her communists Democrats have the vote in the House to impeach President Trump. It doesn’t matter what the reason is but they have the votes. It will be the Senate to take action and the Senate is mostly made up of RINO’s and cowards. The impeachment will not pass most of the Senate.
Trump should fire the top 2000 people.
Over the past three years the Demonicrat House has done nothing less than give aid and comfort to the enemy.
For $340 million, Soros could get the Senate to vote to convict—offer $20 million each to 17 Republican Senators to vote to convict (Romney, Murkowski and Collins will vote that way for free). Of course they would have to move to New Zealand afterwards. They could be neighbors there with James Comey, except that Comey will stay in the US if Trump is removed from office.
The author's points on the continue harassment of Trump, but I am not clear why he omitted "and misdemeanors" from his description.
And would change this cold civil war into a hot one.

Just listen to CNN recently beat-down a guest for having the audacity to suggest crimes are required to impeach

Or this AP article from a few weeks ago greasing the skids to basically say congress decides who the president shall be and they hold the power to remove without any crimes
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3790844/posts
Their game plan, there is only a quid needed to impeach quo is no longer needed ( since they don't have one) , and how dare the American public think they elect and choose who shall be president, the agenda is that congress can remove for whatever reason as long as they frame it as an abuse for what ever reason without any proof. No actual crimes required, just votes.
Isn’t it true that there is no specific definition of high crimes and misdemeanors? I think all agree that a speeding ticket is not a high crime, but otherwise there is leeway.
Wasn’t one of Nixon’s articles of impeachment, an abuse of power, which they didn’t really specifically define?
Victor Williams, a widely-published scholar on the impeachment removal process, has taught at Catholic University’s Columbus School of Law, the City University of New York’s John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and the University of Maryland’s Carey School of Law. Williams is chair of Lawyers and Law Professors for Trump, and is running for the U.S. Senate in 2020 against Sen. Mark Warner.
The Dems are just making it up as they go along and things fail and backfire on them
Why would they have to move? Seems to me that many, many of the hundreds of Senators and Congressmen are on the take for more or less money than your figure, perhaps even per annum.
They live, breathe, sleep, and live spectacular, rewarding lives with impunity, they retire as millionaires or billionaires, even though their actions virtually prove they are on the take to someone really bad.
If not bribery, how could one explain their actions which are so inimical to good, ethical, behavior and good government, and so toxic to their constituents and to the United States as a nation.
Other than massive bribery, what on earth could explain the behavior of the Democrats and many of the Republicans?
What?
When are republicans going to wake up and realize their asses are on the line too. If they allow this travesty to continue then they deserve what they’re going to get.
Is that fancy for “people would hang for treason”?
Someone should point this out to Trump’s lawyers.
Attainder is exactly what Pelosi is doing. POTUS should sue them. Seriously. Thanks for posting this.
Yep, Bill of Attainder.
And they all knew it.
Hanging is too good for these subhuman vermin.
Actually, I'm kinda hoping Melania gets her claws into them instead.
Woman scorned and all that.
