Trump Impeachment

Muellers Legacy

An impeachment inquiry becomes an all-encompassing endeavor. While ongoing, it tends to push into the background, almost to the point of oblivion, all other legislative work. It certainly sucks oxygen from the rest of Congress’ other executive-administrative oversight functions. The Mueller report gives Democrats good reason to verbally bash Trump. As for the substance of impeachment, the Mueller report provides too little fodder for a serious attempt to charge the president with “treason, bribery, or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” Obviously there was not enough evidence to justify a charge of illegal conspiracy with Russian entities. The obstruction of justice question is more nuanced. Mueller’s investigation into Trump’s election campaign and accusations of Russian involvement foun...[Read More]

Gates of Impeachment

Chairman Jerry Nadler specifically cites Attorney General William Barr as a liar, yet Mueller on Wednesday went out of his way to call Barr honorable. A day later, Mueller and Barr issued a joint statement insisting they have no conflicts about the report. “Impeachment is a political act, and you cannot impeach a president if the American people will not support it” .

About 30 or so House Democrats out of the 238 are pursuing the Impeachment path. Also, this doesn’t appear to reflect the general public’s position at all and is merely a sign of the ‘loud squeaky wheel screaming for attention’. I’m talking about the frenzied media who have not relented in their effort to silence the ‘fake news’ radar. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi sought to simmer down the intensifying calls to impeach President Donald Trump on Wednesday by stressing patience and highlighting that only a small number of Democrats are calling for the move.  ...[Read More]

Impeachment Drive by the Democrats

Any President can be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi [Note 1], said that she was “not there yet” in supporting the initiation of impeachment proceedings. The question of impeachment is consuming a great deal of energy from the Democrats, who may not be able to pursue this path to the end. Some members within the party are also questioning this direction and would like to focus on the issues that they consider are more important for the country. There have ever only been two Presidents [note 2] who have been impeached in the past and zero who have been removed from office. At least three [note 3] Democratic presidential candidates have continued their call for impeachm...[Read More]
