An impeachment inquiry looms and the shrieks of outrage are beginning.
The Left is now suddenly voicing warnings that those who recently undermined the system could be targeted by their own legacies.
So, for example, now we read why impeachment is suddenly a dangerous gambit.
True, the Founders did not envision impeaching a first-term president the moment he lost his House majority. Nor did they imagine impeaching a president twice. And they certainly did not anticipate trying an ex-president in the Senate as a private citizen.
In modern times, the nation has not rushed to impeach a president without a special counsel investigation to determine whether the chief executive was guilty of “Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”
But thanks to the Democrats, recent impeachments now have destroyed all those guardrails. After all, Trump was impeached the first time on the fumes of an exhaustive but fruitless 22-month, $40 million special counsel investigation—one designed to find him guilty of Russian “collusion” and thus to be removed from office but found no actionable offenses at all.
Instead, dejected Democrats moved immediately for a second try. In September 2019 a few weeks after Trump had announced his 2020 reelection bid, the Democratic House began to impeach the president on the new grounds that he had talked to the President Zelensky of Ukraine and said he might delay offensive arms shipments—unless the Ukrainians could demonstrate that they had ended corruption and, in particular, were no longer influenced by the Biden family quid pro quo shakedowns.
Trump was proven right: the Biden family is not just corrupt, but, in particular, Joe Biden as head of the family and Vice President had intervened in the internal politics of an aid recipient, by threatening not to delay but rather to cancel outright...

It did not take a genius to know that Trump was right about the Biden bribery in Ukraine. Pedo-Joe was videotaped bragging about it. But the ‘RATs tried to impeach Trump over the phone call anyway.
Some very evil people in our government are ruthlessly trying to protect THEIR interests.
As a nation, we are “Heading downhill like a snowball heading towards Hell”.
Trump was proven right........ again:
<><>the Biden family is not just corrupt,
<><>but VP Joe Biden, Crime Family head, intervened in the internal politics of a US aid recipient,
<><>Biden threatened on video to cancel all mandated US aid to Ukraine amounting to billions.
<><>Biden desperately wanted prosecutor Viktor Shokin fired for investigating his son’s employer.
<><>The hidden agenda was to protect whoring cokehead, Hunter.
<><>The safety and security of Americans was ignored.
And at the expense and well being of the country and the American people. Some might call that treason.
Well duh.
Start and inquiry and just take in docs and leak them. Everything up to the names of the prostees Hunter slept with. Just lay it all out and let the American public look at it.
There doesn’t have to be an impeachment, and honestly, like Clinton, the process might actually make Biden a martyr.
If so, I have several useless items for sale at exorbitant prices.
Please pm me for details.
An impeachment inquiry WRT Biden looms and the left’s shrieks of outrage are beginning.
They “warn” that those of the Dem party who undermined the system due to their hatred of Trump
could be targeted by their own legacies. So now we read why impeachment is suddenly
“a dangerous gambit” (when used against one of their own).
True, the Founders did not envision
<><>impeaching a first-term president the moment he lost his House majority.
<><>Nor did they imagine impeaching a president twice.
<><>And they certainly did not anticipate trying an ex-president as a private citizen.
But thanks to the Democrats, recent impeachments now have destroyed all those guardrails.
Trump was impeached the first time on the fading fumes of an exhaustive but fruitless 22-month, $40 million special counsel investigation, designed to find him guilty of Russian “collusion,” to be removed from office....... but found no actionable offenses at all.

We are witnessing the collapse of America resulting after decades of increasing debasement and corruption.

Will they file charges against Vice President Kamala Harris for “inciting” ongoing violent demonstrations with monotonous, emphatic, and repetitive threats in the weeks before her nomination? Contrary to liberal “fact checkers” at time of nationwide violence, Harris certainly did not distinguish violent from non-violent protests, but in fact implied that they were intimately tied to the upcoming election and beyond. So given the hundreds of police officers injured, the hundreds of millions in property damage, and the dozens killed, what exactly did Harris mean by tying that ongoing summer of often violent protests to Election Day?:
“But they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop, and this is a movement, I’m telling you. They’re not gonna stop, and everyone beware, because they’re not gonna stop. They’re not gonna stop before Election Day in November, and they’re not gonna stop after Election Day. Everyone should take note of that, on both levels, that they’re not going to let up — and they should not. And we should not.”

Upon the highly unlikely multiple miracles that must happen for Trump to be allowed another term, he will not have even a single day of governance. He will certainly not be allowed to appoint any real agents of change in his cabinet.
Sure sounds like treasonable offenses to me. Let’s get the ball rolling on the Biden administration! Who knows what all might turn up if they conducted it like the fishing expedition they are doing on Trump?
It’s time to impeach every one of the cabinet members and their staffs.
Impeachment and conviction in the Senate are valid and needed tools to be used for ChiComjoe and his traitorous kakistocracy. This then needs to be followed by trials, convictions, and sentencing for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
