Another interesting question: if Trump is indeed removed and then wins the election, will the House impeach again?

Seems pretty clear that impeachment proceedings are not judiciable and even lists the reasons why not.

In your cited Nixon case [not that Nixon], Nixon was quibbling over the meaning of try and the SC found that the discretion to define what constitutes "try" is within the sound discretion of the Senate and not reviewable.

But the Constitution is clear that impeachment is for "high crimes and misdemeanors" and if there are not, then the House, if it impeaches, and the Senate, if it convicts, have exceeded the powers granted under the constitution, which would make it a justiciable issue.

But you have underscored one argument that I have made. The Senate has the power to dismiss the bill of impeachment out of hand and without an adversarial hearing and presentation of evidence before the full senate.

It is interesting. Mighty interesting how Soros is involved in Ukraine. Sounds like between Soros and our State Department, there was lots of corruption.

I'd love to know what Putin and Trump discussed over Ukraine. As far as I can see, the capture of Crimea a few years ago was a security move by Russia.

When Russia captured Crimea it was a one and done deal and it was finished. I think we would have done the same thing if we saw a threat from Cuba -- we did in the 1960s.

Russia is almost landlocked -- they are strategically bottled up in the Baltic and Black Seas. Recently saw some news about Russia trying to pave a northern passage for their merchant ships across the frozen seas above Mother Russia.

Wherever the Clintons go, there's trouble, extortion, fraud, murders, and unspeakable crimes.

Another good reason for Trump to ask for more "investigations" of the dirty tricksters.

Go President Trump!

We can think what we want, but the fact is that the media is spinning their narrative and is being successful in moving the public to be more accepting of impeachment.

The media has decades of experience at this and enormous interdependent support, resulting in their extreme self-confidence; whereas the President is new at this and essentially all alone, resulting in your bleak assessment. That describes precisely the kind of overwhelming odds that God delights in publicly overcoming. See: Noah, Abraham, Moses, Joshua, Samson, Gideon, Ruth, David, Jonathan, Elijah, Daniel, Shadrach/Meschach/Abednego, Esther & Mordecai, Mary & Joseph, Jesus, Peter, Paul...and innumerable modern-day miracles, many of which I have experienced personally.

Doesn't Russia hate Soros? If so, it could be a common bonding advantage for us...

Rudy made a reference right at the end of an appearance over the weekend that spoke to the dismissal of a case which was to be followed by one that involved Manafort somehow an led directly to Soros. The interviewer wouldn’t touch it.

We’ve been had.

Here’s something that might be of interest:

CIA/Soros/Ukraine/State Department/ connection:

“George Soros admits to funding the Ukraine crisis”

https://hangthebankers.com/george-soros-admits-to-funding-the-ukraine-crisis/

From 2014 link above:

George Soros told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria over the weekend he is responsible for establishing a foundation in Ukraine that ultimately contributed to the overthrow of the country’s elected leader and the installation of a junta handpicked by the State Department.

“First on Ukraine, one of the things that many people recognized about you was that you during the revolutions of 1989 funded a lot of dissident activities, civil society groups in eastern Europe and Poland, the Czech Republic. Are you doing similar things in Ukraine?” Zakaria asked Soros.

“Well, I set up a foundation in Ukraine before Ukraine became independent of Russia. And the foundation has been functioning ever since and played an important part in events now,” Soros responded.

It is well-known, although forbidden for the establishment media to mention, that Soros worked closely with USAID, the National Endowment for Democracy (now doing work formerly assigned to the CIA), the International Republican Institute, the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, the Freedom House, and the Albert Einstein Institute to initiate a series of color revolutions in Eastern Europe and Central Asia following the engineered collapse of the Soviet Union.

“Many of the participants in Kiev’s ‘EuroMaidan’ demonstrations were members of Soros-funded NGOs and/or were trained by the same NGOs in the many workshops and conferences sponsored by Soros’ International Renaissance Foundation (IRF), and his various Open Society institutes and foundations. The IRF, founded and funded by Soros, boasts that it has given ‘more than any other donor organization’ to ‘democratic transformation’ of Ukraine,” writes William F. Jasper.

Cable is divided, as we know, into voice, data, and video. Electronic money movement is known at the nanosecond.

People know who is doing what, with who, and for how much.

Hence Google’s frantic desire to break all military and other code. No doubt, in the pay of ChiComs, since that’s where their loyalties lie.
