The rats sure protected Clinton during his impeachment trial....and he was accused of real crimes. There is no real crime mentioned in the two articles of impeachment. The right thing to do is to dismiss it entirely.
THE FOUNDERS’ NIGHTMARE: DEMOCRATS FORGING AN EXTRA-LEGAL PATH TO TOTAL POWER OVER AMERICANS:
The rushed House articles were a means to an end – House lawyers could argue in court that all of the constitutionally contended material required as evidence for pending judicial proceedings....... a trial in the Senate. (hat tip conservative treehouse)
ITS SHOWTIME .....all the prior evidence debated for inclusion and legal additions to “articles of impeachment” were dropped. Instead the House focused only on quickly framing two articles that could facilitate pending court cases. Remember, the House never voted to “authorize the full judicial impeachment process;” they voted to approve an “inquiry” into whether an impeachment should take place.
MARK THIS WELL By not voting to authorize articles of impeachment the House never gained ‘judicial enforcement authority‘. The house wrecking crew have assembled a back-door attempt to position a valid claim for evidence against the accused without having first gained judicial authority for it.
