Legally and judiciarilly you’re correct.
But as Rush explained yesterday, it is political.
The Congress has always had the power to impeach the president for any reason. Just as the president can pardon anyone accused or convicted of federal crimes—for any reason.
Now, no where in the Constitution is there ANY definition as to what “high crimes and misdemeanors” are in reference to the president. Up to this point, the president would had to have done something beyond politics to get an impeachment going. So here we are, and it the Congress, not Trump, that has to decide whether they cross this Rubicon.
The glorious thing about the past 225 years of this Republic is no one in either party has tried to use impeachment to undo an election choice made the voters.
Until now.
Trump should fire Mueller. Just do it.
If the Congress decides to impeach him for that, then we’ll all have to deal with the outcome of how THEY—the Congress—killed the American Republic.
“Trump should fire Mueller. Just do it.”
Many of us are anxious to get THIS fight started in earnest. This BS needs to be settled once and for all.
