AP Analysis: It doesn’t take a crime to impeach a president
AP ^ | September 27, 2019 | MARK SHERMAN

If House Democrats press ahead with impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump, their case will rest in large part on the claim that he sought a foreign government’s help, with hundreds of millions of dollars in aid in the balance, to dig up dirt on a political opponent to boost his reelection campaign.

But, if true, would that be a crime? The answer might not matter. It doesn’t take a criminal act to impeach a president.

It was such a farce that Rs shouldn’t have voted at all.

But it DID get swing district dems to go on record as for the impeachment process.

We won’t be going to war because Congress will not declare war.

No, far worse than any Parliament; this is all a la THE TRIAL by Kafka combined with Stalinist USSR “kangaroo court” trials.

No US President is going to be removed from office with the stock market at all time highs, the economy growing, and unemployment at low levels.

Not Gonna Happen.

Then why didn't these misborn Demonrats do this over THREE YEARS AGO, right after Trump was inaugurated?

> But then it’s not impeachment. It’s a coup.

Only half the country sees it that way, that's the real problem ...

All it takes is for the democrat politburo to decide the President has to go.

I get that completely - but they have decided that they have complete oversight, that even extend beyond this Ukraine biz. They are assuming powers they legally cannot have.

No, it takes a bunch of whackos not accepting the outcome of an election and throwing a hissy fit because they did not get their way.

Which is WHY I posted what I posted!

Have you ever seen or read THE TRIAL? If not...do so!

I had to read it in college and I saw the movie too, which is as scary as 1984!

“She said today that inquiry would now be going beyond the Ukraine issue which tells me they have nothing there.”

Always remember that Tuna Nan told us that the Ukraine issue was the only reason we would understand.

No kidding. It’s political.

But the deep state loves politics so much, they forget what political means.

Political means you can’t do it if the people don’t support it.
