Trump impeachment

She wasn't a lifetime politician but that one congresswoman resigned after the pics of her showed up. Katie Hill....I think..

 

Supposed to be of him and that Buck guy with some black dude doing some sick shit or something. There was a link to a story about the pics in a previous post...3005 by IYC

 

The fact that she wasn’t a lifer is kinda my point. They still had/have a life to live outside of DC. Lifers know nothing else, and have learned they answer for nothing.

 

Barry
Blagojevich (spelling?)
Yee
Weiner
the CO reps that were impeached due to their unconstitutional gunlaw votes
Hill
Menendez almost got justice
There were some recent ones that escape me right now

 

High crimes and misdemeanors is just the catch phrase the Dems stick with, I assume because it polled high.

If I ever go to trial, I sure hope catch phrases are used instead of actual criminal charges...

Here's what I don't get. You are obviously a smart guy, and I'd bet a dollar to a dime smarter than me. It just bewilders me to see you so stupid on this topic. You are acting just like Schiff and company, wishing it were true instead of basing it on facts. I just don't get it? I will give you this, unlike Schiff and company you actually pointed to a violation, albeit a wrong one, but at least you put something out there other than a catch phrase.

 

Without having a copy in front of me, I seem to recall that 'high crimes and misdemeanors' is the text in the Constitution for which a President can be impeached. Not a catch phrase.

 

I think that you are correct, BUT, that is a catch all for the many SPECIFIC felonies, etc. that are too numerous to list. I don't think it was intended that "high crimes" is an actual crime. LOL

 

“High crimes and misdemeanors” is the category of offenses a president can be charged with and brought to impeachment.

What offenses fail within that category? Which of those offenses is Trump alleged to have committed?

So yeah, it’s a catch phrase. A rallying cry for useless idiots.

 

Oh, I'm not suggesting that Trump has done anything to warrant this ongoing fiasco. Just noting that the phrase in question is part of the text of the Constitution, not something coined by a talking head.

 

But the text is "Treason, Bribery, High Crimes and Misdemeanors" and should be taken in the same context or magnitude of offense.

 

Are you thus comparing treason to a misdemeanor?

 

Yes, there is legal precedent for the interoperation of phrases that all must be akin to each other.

 

Well I’ll be damned. There ARE some

 

We then get into the Oxford comma, or lack thereof.

Is “high crimes and misdemeanors” one thing, or two?

 

And while we’re at it, wouldn’t the use of “and” require one be guilty of all the offenses? Otherwise, it would be “or”, no?

 

So in order to be impeached and removed, he has to commit treason, accept a bribe, murder someone, and be ticketed for jaywalking!

 

Nope.

 

I was replying to 'Egg's comment about the word 'and' in the list of impeachables.

 

Answering that question is beyond my pay grade.

I just pose the questions.

As the brilliant prior impeached president once posited, it depends on the definition of “is”.

 

Sept 30 is End of Fiscal year , so that's not the date that I am referring to. That date is what really started applying pressure and questions were being asked. I remember hearing that date and wasn't really paying attention to what they were speaking of.

Obama withheld money 7 times? Ok so say your accounting is true. De he go through proper procedures to notify them of the with holding of funds. It's really simple. If Obama did the very same thing and didn't notify congress and went through the same steps Trump has this entire time. BOTH of them have broken the law. It's really that simple.

If that's what he said he was going to send then that's what he was going to send. You changing the argument to "well Trump gave them something of actual substance" I wasn't aware what he sent them was the argument here?

Should and are tend to be two different things. I hope they vote Trump Criminal ass out.
The sham part i'm not seeing but ok.
