"86" obviously means "get rid of". But it doesn't say how, and it could just as easily mean by impeachment or the 25th Amendment, both of which are legal routes for removal. What we "think" he meant is irrelevant. The inherent ambiguity is going to make a conviction impossible.

That's just the legal reality.

“impeachment”

Failed twice.

“25th Amendment”

Trump’s mental status can be verified by experts to be sound.

“Both...legal routes for removal” aren’t practical.

The former FBI director can expect an offer from the DoJ. Comey knows the process and probabilities.

Pace yourself.

He’s being forced through the process we call No One is above the Law.

Even Former FBI Directors.

Some day we may get to No One is Above the Law, Especially Former FBI Directors

What do you suppose the motivation was behind going after the rodeo clown wearing the Obama mask?

Biden was a good example of somebody who should have been impeached or subject to the 25th amendment.

I'm wondering. Would you have used the same wreckless phrase with double meaning that Comey used, to express your opinion about Biden?

As a former AG, lawyer, and prosecutor, he knew exactly what it meant.
He did it for the reasons I stated. The are all valid and verified, especially the ‘burn bag’ records.

Legally, it might be a hard conviction, but every single Traitor and ‘real’ insurrectionist needs to be pursued. I don’t believe it should be dropped, even if he ‘wins’ he loses and Karma visits.

Impeachment or 25th Amendment were never gonna happen with R’s controlling House, Senate, and Presidency. The judiciary (including his daughter) has been doing their level-best but the cases eventually end up at SCOTUS where, so far, the Constitution & laws have mostly won.
