Senate Impeachment Trial LIVE - day 6
I purpose we swap Toomey for a real Republican.
Thanks Jim.. great Day for America and I thoroughly enjoyed listening to the defense team today and following the commentary here on thread. Now tonight.. what a dilemma.. the trial and rally coincide...
Uh, no.
The submittal is required by law.
I understand and agree that Bolton was required by law to submit a proposed book to the NSC for review. I should have been clearer in my comment. My point is why would Bolton submit his manuscript at this time, during impeachment and trial proceedings, when to do so allows the content to be deliberately distorted by Trump’s enemies? One reason may be that Bolton is such an enemy, but I need more evidence to make that conclusion.
If a president is removed from office via impeachment, is he eligible to run again? PDJT could pull together a kick-ass third party if the RATs are successful this time.
A fair clarification. Thanks.
This seems to be a complicated issue. See this link regarding the various legal aspects of the Impeachment process.
Sorry, forgot to include the link. After my bedtime.
