Not because Trump is a Republican. Not because of his conservative policies. Not as a way to nullify the outcome of the 2016 election. But because he engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors of exactly the sort the founders had in mind when they created the impeachment process in the U.S. Constitution.
The details of those crimes have been laid out a thousand times, but here they are again: Congress voted to give $391 million to Ukraine, an ally that was at war, defending itself against Russia. But Trump withheld that money in a clear violation — an illegal violation — of Congress’ express wishes. He did so not because he had foreign policy disagreements with Congress, but because he hoped to extort from Ukraine’s president what he called “a favor” in return for the money — the announcement of an investigation into groundless accusations against former Vice President Joe Biden that he believed could be useful to him in winning reelection.
In other words, he hijacked national security and foreign policy to induce Ukraine to take actions to smear a prospective political opponent. He abused the power of his office to benefit himself personally. Then, as the second article of impeachment makes clear, he sought to stonewall the investigation by refusing to release documents and ordering his subordinates not to testify in the House inquiry.
It may not come as a surprise to many readers that we support the ultimate punishment for this egregious abuse of power.

This is expected from the LA Slimes dirt board.
Losers.
The times says I can’t read the story because I’m “at my limit.”
Just won’t give it up, will they? They get this one fixed idea in their heads, and everything is reasoned backwards from there.
The other side should just face it, they picked the wrong premise, and played it out badly, so they cry “Foul!”
Donald Trump has been running circles around them ever since he gained a full lap in the race, and is now running backwards, taunting them.
Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner, all over again.
It’s to save the plan of fundamentally transforming this country into North Mexico.
Democrat media taking the opposite stand to the one they took back in 1999. Shockah.
I’m just glad that my seventh grade journalism teacher is no longer around to witness the morbid writing of today.
Disappointing ... I don’t subscribe to the rag ... but the new billionaire owner, Patrick Soon-Shiong, believes in personal responsibility and generally holds conservative views ... he is very smart and a true visionary ... he made the socialist Times staff leave their ivory tower in downtown LA and show up for work in one of his buildings in El Segundo by LAX ... hoping to see a little more hands on from him now ...
I say we impeach and remove LA
Anybody who still supports the Democrats has a criminal heart.
It doesn’t matter what they do for a living.
Anybody who still supports the Democrats has a criminal heart.
The same LA Times that refused to release the video of obama cavorting with sponsors of islamic terrorism.
“But because he engaged in high crimes and misdemeanors of exactly the sort the founders had in mind when they created the impeachment process in the U.S. Constitution.”
Grade “A” Bull$hit
And rest assured that all 823 readers of that rag agree.
Make LA Mexico Again.
Those who have embraced crowd lunacy, like the LA Times, are about to pay a price for their delusions. This editiorial is clearly poppycock, but the co-conspirators in this attempted coup d’etat once truly believed this fiction. I don’t think that they believe anymore, but they will continue to profess it and defend it because this approach is the only hope to survive the aftermath. They will fail in the same way that they failed with the coup. Truth won out and the purveyors of lies are going to be destroyed, both politically and financially.
Or was it asking about the server?

Bingo.
He asked about Crowdstrike, the people who said the Russians hacked the DNC.
Crowdstrike is the key and that’s why it’s never mentioned in the Ministry of Propaganda.
I say we use government to shut down the LATimes. So what about the 1st Amendment and property rights. The constitution is a squishy document.
