Hundreds Of Professors Sign Letter Begging Congress To Impeach Trump

Hundreds of college professors, referring to themselves as “American historians,” have signed a letter begging the U.S. House of Representatives to impeach President Donald Trump, claiming that the president has “violated his oath” and citing his “brazen contempt” for the government. The signees even suggest that Alexander Hamilton himself would disagree with the president’s “private life” as a reason for impeachment.

“We are American historians devoted to studying our nation’s past who have concluded that Donald J. Trump has violated his oath,” proclaim nearly 600 professors in a letter to Congress attempting to justify the impeachment of the sitting President of the United States.

In the letter, the signees insist that President Trump’s impeachment is “urgently and justly” required, and claim that the president is guilty of “attempts to subvert the Constitution,” adding that Alexander Hamilton and other framers of the U.S. Constitution would agree.

As of early Tuesday afternoon, 752 so-called “American historians” have signed the letter published on Monday — nearly 600 of whom are listed as college professors.

The group goes on to claim that President Trump has engaged in “lawless obstruction of the House of Representatives,” and accuse the president of having “demonstrated brazen contempt for representative government.”

They also claim that if President Trump had his way, he “would turn the [presidency] into an elected monarch above the law.”

As for the president’s alleged impeachable offenses, the group regurgitates the hearsay utilized by House Democrats in the impeachment hearings, claiming that President Trump has withheld military funding from Ukraine in exchange for favors.

“Among those most hurtful to the Constitution have been his attempts to coerce the country of Ukraine, under attack from Russia, an adversary power to the United States, by withholding essential military assistance in exchange for the fabrication and legitimization...

Ask a professor what size 600 is relative to the number 63 million.
Answer: Without my phone calculator or my laptop can I take my shoes and socks off to do the math? That’s a tough problem. Although there’s a number 6 in both, I think the million one is much bigger.

What are Freepers supposed to do with junk news like this? Vent over it? It’s not like we don’t know that most professors are leftists.

I often suspect that the RINOs intentionally sabotage conservative efforts so that they can keep the same issues on the table and not actually solve anything (examples include not passing the hearing protection act, and not repealing Obamacare in Trump's first two years). When Nancy decided to impeach President Trump for quid pro quo make that bribery or perhaps being mean to Congress, I started wondering if she was intentionally sabotaging her own party to push back against their rising socialist wing.

Maybe democrats face the same problem from the establishment that decent Americans face. Perhaps Nancy is playacting a role in our elitist ruling class, maneuvering for a stalemate, just like our large RINO contingent. Democrats don't have to be logical, but if she has a reason for this, it has to be to make sure they lose the White House and Congress in November.

How do you get a letter going around and get signatures attached to it? Hmmmm.

Some Trump supporters somewhere should do something like that. Hmmmm.

I wonder how many signatures they could get.....? Hmmmm.

...citing his “brazen contempt” for the government.

That's why we hired him!

I, too, have brazen contempt for the current turd crop occupying the seat of power.

If they are historians of any actual merit I am a Hottentot.
