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...

These are college professors, yet none of them understand everything in this statement is denied by the Ukrainian government as is factually false.
Thanks for posting this! It’s the first thing I thought of while reading this article.
Draining the swamp includes the educational system. I’d keep this list of named professors for closer investigation.
I like how a Brit paper called these worthless idiots “Historians”.
How little they actually know.
OK, that is funny!
.
About a month ago there was an article here that looked into an article about climate change and 11,000 scientists who supported doing something about it.
Turned out only a very small percent of these scientist and professors actually studied climate science. The rest were linguistics, sociologist, etc. One was a gynecologist!!!
Pravda is alive and well.
The Federal government needs to defund the entire educational establishment, especially universities.
752 “Fellow Travelers” just identified themselves.
Let history record their names as such.
That swamp is vast. The bowtie crowd is bubbling up.
Trump DID fund The Ukraine. Obama did not, and as a result Russia annexed the Crimea in 2014. Don’t they know their history?
“We do not have to invade the United States, we will destroy you from within.”
Nikita Khrushchev.
We’re watching it.
“”The signees even suggest that Alexander Hamilton himself would disagree with the president’s “private life” as a reason for impeachment.””
THAT alone is priceless...Objectionable private life is now impeachable?
I watched some of that circus today - much more than I intended and couldn’t believe the show that was put on.
Doug Collins (GA) stuck to his guns and refused to be dragged down a rabbit hole of hypotheticals.....Scanlon from PA went on and on and on about “How about blah blah - is that impeachable?” He answered each time that he refused to play that game and she didn’t back off boring back in with another like question - different topic - at least 10 times!
They refused to admit that they were there to lay the groundwork for tomorrow’s vote only and wanted to bring in everything under the sun - the only thing they left out was his “toilet training” as a baby which they would also have found objectionable....
These people are sick...
And for 600 University professors..we know where they want to take the country so why would any person with a working brain pay attention to them?
This ranks up there with the fact that most people have no idea about the Two hop nature of a FISA warrant. What is wrong with conservative media? They keep talking about spying on Carter Page, a single person, instead of the enormous reach of such a warrant.
Did they put ‘PhD’ after their names? They probably should have put ‘PhD, CPUSA’ after their names.
Academia is the most effective institutionalized domestic enemy of America, for at least 70 years. The 1950’s was nothing to ignore of the communist mitosis going on, cell division and dividing again, in method and Patience.
They had to be effective, in order to influence all other institutions and yes, churches, justice system, Hollywood, politics and government, military, etc.
.. referring to themselves as “American historians communists,”
There, fixed it.
The Left has been successful in their “Long March” through the institution of American education.
752 of them just testified to that fact.
Which foreign country sponsors the professors and their universities - do we have the signers names and universities published yet???
Bernie’s Supporters ?
