Sadly, it does NOT matter if there’s no there there.
Impeachment is 100% political.
Impeachment is 0% criminal.
“Too many here fail to realize” the basics of impeachment.
Agree!
However Dershowitz said something intriguing. He said that the USSC could weigh in and block the delivery of the bill of impeachment - declare it unconstitutional!. If it determined that there were no “high crimes & misdemeanors” broken in the bill.
First time I have ever heard that! I always thought & was taught that impeachment was solely in the hands of the Congress. House delivers voted on bill, Senate holds trial. No place for USSC other then CJ presides over trial.
The rules that govern impeachment allow for a defense against impeachment based on the articles.
What “article(s)” would they use? Obstruction. It is not there and the Mueller report is seriously flawed in its conclusions and more flawed by what it omits and what they did not investigate.
Americans have a basic sense of fairness and such a proceeding would shed a lot of light on how unfair this whole process has been. This is especially true given what we expect to learn the rest of this year regarding the origins of the investigation.
