The Trump Impeachment

[Tero]

Congress unable to provide GOP legal experts. Because the small number to get this far are all sitting in the Supreme Court. GOP then goes out of its way to say it is unfair. Trump has taught them well.

Mueller report can't be used. By what legal or constitutional principle?

The warning from vulnerable Democrats follows Nadler’s remarks at the Judiciary panel’s first impeachment hearing Wednesday in which he made a significant connection between Trump’s obstruction of Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference and his potential abuse of power in pressuring Ukraine to help his reelection campaign.

“President Trump welcomed foreign interference in the 2016 election. He demanded it for the 2020 election,” Nadler said in his opening statement. “In both cases, he got caught. And in both cases, he did everything in his power to prevent the American people from learning the truth about his conduct.”

Mueller’s 448-page report caused a fraught debate within the caucus after its release this spring over whether to punish Trump for acts he allegedly committed before he was president — as well as instances in which the White House attempted to interfere with the investigation itself. Some Democrats also feared that Mueller’s report and the allegations within it were too dense and difficult to communicate clearly to the American public.

Law professor, with straight face, presents goldendoodle argument:

[Tero]

Of course it's about politics. But when your opponent is a dodo, you use his failures.

During the press conference, Pelosi said Democrats won't wait until courts make decisions about witness testimony before proceeding with articles of impeachment because the White House's actions in taking these issues to court "is an obstruction of justice, and so we're not going to be accomplices to his obstruction of justice."

Asked if the articles of impeachment should involve findings in the Mueller report, Pelosi demurred. "My chairmen will be making recommendations," she said. "I'm not here to talk about that because that's what they'll be working on."

I saw this in my local newspaper's comment section. I think there's some schadenfreude here.

To paraphrase Trump supporters whose comments I've read: She's never liked Trump, so nobody should listen to a thing she says.

Rudy still looking for 2016 corruption in the Ukraine.

With his tweet he actually proves their intent and involvement. So quid pro quo.

Trump is two steps ahead. Biden and Hunter will be criminally indicted by then.

Seriously, your dreams of Trump impeachment depends on Hunter Biden not doing illegal things related to Ukraine. Hunter is an admitted crack head that frequented strip clubs, and just lost a paternity battle with a stripper after denying it last month.

There are no charges in the Ukraine, so Hunter can't be charged here, and all Hunter did was act as poster boy for Burisma annual report. Is that illegal?

Paternity issues have no relevance to...anything.

And Trump had an affair with a porn star, and denied it despite it being true.

Nunes calls criminal Parnas. GOP: how dare you release phone call records?

On "The Story" on Thursday, Martha MacCallum asked Nunes what he discussed in that alleged phone call with Parnas, who has been accused of participating in an effort to convince Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden. Separately, Parnas pleaded not guilty to campaign finance violations.

"Whatever Congressman Schiff does in the furtherance of the impeachment inquiry is protected by what is called the 'speech and debate clause' of the constitution. The clause protects the words and written works of members of Congress ... they can't be prosecuted, they can't be sued, and they can't be disciplined. That does not mean that it's moral or that it is appropriate or that it is ethical. It just means that he's immune from the legal consequences of it."
