Same as Nixon except e saw the writing on the wall and made a deal to leave. So you are fine with impeachment against a president who hasn't been charged criminally. And you have the nerve to say I have shown my true colors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the duty of congress to hold a president accountable. Clinton was “charged” ie the house brought articles of impeachment against him. The house approved and thus he was impeached. He was acquitted in the senate when the republican majority found him not guilty (every Dem and several republicans acquitted). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And in this case, the AG and DOJ have already stated that their isn't enough evidence to bring charges, so why would congress bring the charges to start the impeachment, if no other reason than partisan mud slinging?

I mean christ there is a direct quote that says if they could have exonerated the president they would have, but they couldn't exonerate him so it's up to congress to pursue charges. You set up this ridiculous expectation without being grounded in reality at all. Trump is guilty as ****, it's laid out in the report, just a matter of what political games get played now. If justice was as blind as she is supposed to be there would be charges a plenty, but it's all politics down there right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can only recommend. And even then the FBI can ignore it or use and lay charges. The reason no charges were laid or will be laid because there is no case for collusion for the simple fact it never happened. And laying charges of obstruction for charges on treason that never happened is a dog of a case that no self respecting law enforcement body would touch with a ten foot pole. Precisely why the focus is on impeachment and not on more FBI involvement because it can still go forward without bona fide criminal idictments Trump's enemies tried for removal..now they're going with an embarrassment of impeachment as consolation prize.

No, the reason for no charges is this ridiculous idea down there that you can't charge a sitting president. Full stop. They've already charged a pile of other people for things related to it. Collusion happened, go look at the report, obstruction happened, go look at the report.... but nothing is done because there is a belief that the president is above the law. So the way it has to happen then is congress has to impeach the president to move forward with anything. It's really quite simple, but anyone who says there's no crimes is just being wilfully ignorant. If you really believe there is no collusion go find me something that shows that and don't hide behind this straw man argument that no charges = no collusion. Even ******* Trump has flipped. Remember when Barr released his summary and Trump was all "total exoneration! No collusion!" and now that the thing is out there redacted and all he's "Presidential harassment!" "18 angry deomcrats!" "Witch hunt! Lies! Fake News!" Mark F 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bustamente Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 If you want to find out more about AG Barr and some of his finding in the past just google him, it's obvious why he was hired, also turns out a lot of the fake news that was touted by Trump turned out to be true, not only is Trump a POS but he and many of his staff in his administration are flat out liars.

Mark F Posted April 19, 2019 Report Share Posted April 19, 2019 (edited) More Trump supporters in the news Quote Lately, Donald Trump fans have enjoyed attacking left-leaning Americans. Last year, for instance, Miami-area resident Cesar Sayoc sent pipe bombs to prominent liberals across the nation and went to jail. Today another South Florida man was arrested, this time for allegedly threatening to kill four Democrats. Federal authorities today announced that John Kless, a 49-year-old resident of Tamarac in Broward County, called three Democrats at their Washington, D.C. offices April 16 and left voicemail messages threatening murder. The lawmakers included California Congressman Eric Swalwell, Detroit Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, and New Jersey Sen. Cory Booker. In all three messages, Kless referenced his hatred for Minnesota Congresswoman Ilhan Omar — repeatedly calling her a "towel head" and a member of the Taliban. In two of the three voicemails, Kless defended President Trump and told lawmakers to stop criticizing him. another Trump supporter. Threatening to murder people who criticize their hero.

It was supposed to be the silver bullet. it's not about Hillary losing, it's about the criminality of Trump. It's about holding the elite and politicians to account for their actions. Especially as a Canadian I don't really give a **** who wins an election in the states, their system is bullshit anyway when a choice between 2 people can have the person who receives less votes win the presidency anyway, but this is all about seeing justice done. The Democrats lost the election themselves choosing Hillary as their nominee despite how utterly un-electable she was as president. She might have been qualified and a popular choice withing the party, but the general public was not going to pick her. Her image was just so poor. However that doesn't change the fact that Trump is a wannabe mob boss who is compromised and committed crimes and needs to be held accountable. I question Democrats are going to do the right thing here for political reasons, and we know the GOP will put party over anything else and protect Trump, but the Democrats in congress need to impeach Trump just so that no one else is allowed to get away with it. Next time it might not be a bumbling buffoon like Trump. Brandon Blue&Gold 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
