House Democrats will roll out legislation that would revoke lifetime pension and other taxpayer-funded perks from former presidents who are convicted of felonies during or after office.

“Trump should’ve released the names...”

It’s probably tied up in all kinds of confidentiality safeguards. But it would have made a great threat.

Fine with me as long as the standard is applied equally to all.

Don’t release the names of the victims or even the charges, just name EVERY SINGLE CONGRESSPERSON who was an offender.

Taxpayers paid for it and OWN it.

Besides for 5 years now we’ve been told that NDAs are non-binding.

Didn’t Clinton (Bill not Hill) plead guilty to perjury regarding testimony in federal court in the Paula Jones case? Would this apply to him? Yeah I didn’t think so.

It says any convicted before or after they left office.

Perjury is a felony. Clinton lost his law license because of perjury.

I think he should be the first to lose his lifetime benefits including the shuttering of his Presidential Library.

Right?

That’s what I was thinking. unintended consequences.

It looks like Clinton and Obungo have got away with everything.

But look at Cuomo. He’s gone from the “leader” of wise coronavirus policy to Dems calling for his impeachment.

Swing-and-a-miss again, huh, Democrats? The Donald seems to have taken up permanent residence in your heads.

Maybe you just need catchier titles for these anti-Trump bills. Maybe a little less subtle, too. I mean, everyone can see how unhinged this is making you, why you're so p*ssed - he crossed the machine, and he needs to suffer somehow. These bills need to communicate your fear, your anger, the terminal white-hot angst you have for Bad Orange Man.

No mention of Congress critters who are convicted of crimes? Must be an oversight...

Wasn’t Bill Clinton lying under oath the definition of this?

IOW, impeachment but without the pesky requirements stated in the Constitution.

They are as obsessed with Trump as a 13 year old boy is with his penis.

They can’t pass term limits, but a congress could vote to terminate the Congressional pensions of any member who is re-elected more than 3 or 4 times.
