Abuse of Power is not a crime that can be found in US Code. It's as fictional as you pretending to care about America all the while you trash it.The framers of the Constitution recognized that someday a president might come to office who would have used that office, betrayed the public trust and undermined national security to secure foreign help in his reelection.Multiple federal crimes.You shot yourselves in the foot. Now we get to watch you bleed.Since Trump declined to participate in the process, you cant complain about it.
As far as Peterson, Trump won in his district by 30.8 percent. So Peterson can win if he votes for impeachment, simply because of his district.
Peterson says he cant vote for impeachment unless they come up with something, but enlisting the help of foreign nationals and governments in attacking the American democracy qualifies as "something".
Hope he enjoys his inevitable primary challenger.
The only non-action would be foot shooting at this point.
Alleges...but it didn't happen. "Abuse of Power" even if proven to be true is not an impeachable offense.
That’s just not in the Constitution. You can’t make this stuff up. It’s only four criteria for impeachment: treason, bribery, high crimes and misdemeanors. Abuse of office is not one of them,” Dershowitz said.
From Alan Dershowitz -- preeminent constitutional attorney/expert.
The aid to Ukraine was approved by another branch of the U.S. government makes this a clear-cut case of abuse of power.
"He really had no say constitutionally on whether it should be given to Ukraine. Right there, he's in violation of constitutional norms and practices and the law," said Barbara Ann Perry, presidential studies director at the University of Virginia's Miller Center. Perry said Trump further abused the power of the presidency by tying the holdup in aid to an investigation into his political rivals.
It's not our faults you threw a hail mary in desperation to win the 2020 election and all you did was rally even Trump's Opponents to his side.
America does not like Liars and Cheaters and you are both.
America Hates You!
Impeachment rules are not dictated by US Code, Commie prick.
Go crawl back up Putin's ass, traitor.
