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...

Is that all? Probably got at least a hundred from here (Gainesville - University of Florida).

Daughter-in-law and granddaughter nearly were assaulted in a Gainesville McDonalds the morning after, because they were enjoying themselves rather than crying and being sad.

If this fails they can always write a letter to FBI director Christopher Wray begging him to do a better job than Comey at rigging elections.

I’d say that would be a great way for a parent to know where NOT to send their kids.

We deplorables share our brazen contempt for the government, as did our nation’s founders. Power resides with the voters, not the bureaucrats or lawmakers.

DoED Investigation Finds That U.S. Universities Have Taken $1.3 Billion From Russia, China, Qatar
Big League Politics ^ | 12/14/19 | Shane Trejo

Posted on 12/15/2019, 6:37:39 AM by grimalkin

The Department of Education (DoED) is conducting an investigation into foreign governments funding U.S. universities, and they have found that governments such as Russia, China and Qatar have given them a staggering $1.3 billion.

The universities under review include the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Texas A&M, Cornell, the University of Maryland, Georgetown, and Rutgers. Acting general counsel Reed Rubinstein called the initial findings very “disturbing” in a letter to the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, the Education Department.

Bar every single one from any sort of Federal funding. As there has been no crime committed, to attempt to remove the President is clearly sedition.

Next time sign it as a citizen, not use your Federaly Funded position to try to usurp the government.

These are the idiots that are teaching the young. Leading them on path to destruction. We would be better off without education than to be brainwashed by the likes of them.

I bet these nitwits don’t think FDR broke his oath of office even though lawlessness is FDR’s domestic legacy.
