The Senate does no impeach - that takes place in the House. The Senate will vote to remove and we all know how that will go. BUT there are a bunch of senators up for reelection in 2 years and if Obama stinks and they acquit him those senators are ripe for a fall.
Really thought today’s headlines would be of Petraus having had an unexpected “accident” or a self-inflicted one...
I used to respect Petraeus, but he has allowed himself to be compromised, and at a time and situation where he needed to live up to your accolades if was to be useful to America. He may surprise me and do the right thing and fall on his sword for the American People instead of for Zero, but I really doubt it.
Bingo. Congress doesn't have the guts to do anything. They all have blood on their hands and they're playing for the same team. There might be some dust kicked up but that's as far as this will go.
Lt. Gen. Mark P. Hertling, the now-former commander of U.S. Army Europe, quietly departed Germany last week and retired days later at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Lt. Gen. Hertlings decision to retire was a matter of personal choice... "The command didnt alert the press to, nor issue a news release on its website, where Hertlings official biography now says he was USAREUR commander from March 25, 2011, through Sunday.
Are you setting the stage?
This time he would be testifying under oath.
Not quite true. I know someone who worked for the NSA and still retains his clearance. There are retirees, for example, that retain their clearances. As for the CIA, they do anything they want because they don't operate the same; they handle their own clearances apart from the normal DoD security operation. When you are debriefed, you acknowledge that you still are not to relate anything classified that you know. It's the 5/500000 penalty.
If black made you impervious to attack, we would have no blacks in jail.
That all depends on what is discovered in the House. The fact that the Senate is under Dem control, will actually help the impeachment process get started. Dems will know that the only way Obama could be removed would be if half the Dem senators wanted him removed. And they might depending on what is discovered in the House. The next US Senate elections have more Dems then Pubs up for reelection.
And after he refuses to resign and the Senate refuses to remove him from office, comes the midterms. With more dem senators then pubs up for reelection. Also, the refusal to resign makes him a Tyrant. The refusal for the Senate to convict nullifies the US government. That makes the secession movement legitimate, since we are talking very serious charges. Benghazi is just the latest crime he has made. Add on all the other serious charges. Hit list with American Citizens. Supplying Terrorist Organizations with Funds and Weapons in the Middle East. Running guns to the Mexican Drug Cartels. Firing Drone Missiles at Civilians. And heck, we all know he is doing other things right now that are criminal in nature.
Those blacks are not President , and don’t have 98% backing from the community.
I will NEVER understand some people. We just lost an election, but they cling to the notion that impeachment will save us, when it’s about 5x harder than winning the election.
Very odd.
That is actually a weakness. The Republicans wont lose any black voters.
Came up with my username back in the days when Clinton was being impeached. You should have been around here then. And impeaching Bill Clinton was a blast. Some of the best days around here. That was done for fun. This will done for the future of this nation. Either we are a nation of laws or we are a nation of lawbreakers. Do you have any idea of the payback coming our way for what we have allowed Obama to do to the World ? Benghazi was just the opening salvo.
