Are Democrats building a collapsible impeachment?

Every thread isn’t. You’re just trolling and butthurt.
I already laid the smackdown to Lazmataz over this crap.

The framers actually wanted the impeachment process to be a POLITICAL process.

They wanted the citizenry to hold the politicos to account. If the public polls (the real ones) show the democraps will pay and lose the majority in the house, no official article will be produced.

I’m thinking that since Schiff is so smug, that while Ciaramella was a CIA plant in the whitehouse, that he may not be the whistleblower, and that they’re hoping for an “aha!” moment, to break the Republicans and Trump, in a dramatic flourish.

[lepton]

Yep. He’ll have the footnote, but the Dems are making darn sure they have an asterisk and a footnote of their own.

[lepton]

So what on earth would propel the idiot Dims to pursue this battle now, when the premise is not even plausible and the stakes so high??

Bad poll data.

The fact is that, if proven, a quid pro quo to force the investigation of a political rival in exchange for military aid can be impeachable, if proven.

So a video of the vice president doing the same with the blessing of the president, “call him” comment indicts the both of them!

[Reagan80]

I just think it is that, even we, who understand and realize who they are; still cannot fathom the depths and the intensity of their hatred for us. Those of us who cannot imagine the level of deranged rage they have; because we could never feel that way ourselves, even about our ideological opponents, can not conceive of it.

That’s why the pursue it now. The fact that we even exist is intolerable to them. We must be untimately crushed under their bootheel; whatever the temporary and immediate cost.

As frightening as that is to contemplate, I fear you may be right. May the Good Lord preserve us and our glorious Republic.

.....if Democrats move forward with impeachment primarily with the Ukraine boondoggle, it would be the narrowest impeachment in history.....

Bill Clinton survived impeachment, even w/ a suck-up media, and femiNazis Weinstein-Defense: "it's only sex"......
Clinton fought back tooth-and-nail, with secret plans to exploit the presidency he demeaned.
Hillary was in the West Wing with her Bimbo Eruption Team shooting down any woman who dared surface with sex evidence.

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE-—Bill Clinton gets impeached

David Schippers was asked by his friend, Congressman Henry Hyde, to be Chief Investigative Counsel for the US House Judiciary Committee. Schippers, a lifelong Democrat, accepted and took the job in April 1998. The Hyde Committee was holding an inquiry on whether Clinton had committed impeachable offences in his handling of the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit..... during which Clinton committed perjury regarding his affair with Monica Lewinsky. The committee in December 1998 voted to impeach Clinton........a decision supported by Schippers.

On December 10, 1998, Schippers said to the committee:
“The President, then,
<><> has lied under oath in a civil deposition,
<><> he lied under oath in a criminal grand jury.
<><> he lied to the people,
<><> he lied to his Cabinet,
<><> he lied to his top aides,
<><> he lied under oath to the Congress of the United States.
"There’s no one left to lie to.”

Upon the passage of H. Res. 611, Clinton was impeached on December 19, 1998, by the House of Representatives on grounds of perjury to a grand jury (by a 228–206 vote) and obstruction of justice (by a 221–212 vote).

The Senate voted not to remove the impeached president.

Right now the mockingbird state media is taking that Hindenburg photo of yours and cropping out the entire right side of it and proclaiming in their talking points unison sort of way: “Wow, look at the nose of this impeachment, it’s really taking off now!”

[American in Israel]

Does not this rewritten set of house rules to enable the crimes impeachment inquiry serve as a perfect example of abuse of power?

[patriotspride]

This is all about running the 2020 campaign out of the HOR on the taxpayer’s dime.

So true. Dem scenario

Articles submitted regardless of merit

Dems vote to impeach to say you told us to remove him we did our job to
Impeach “ the Mefer “

Senate does not remove him

Dems new battle cry. We need house and senate to overcome this injustice

If he is re-elected we will right this wrong by removing him when we have total control

The have your cake and eat it too strategy.
