Watergate Articles Of Impeachment
ARTICLE 1
1: In 1998, Democrats told us obstruction of justice does not rise to the level of an impeachable offense
2: The Democrats know impeachment is a losing proposition, and therefore will not impeach Trump.

1a. Please post the Democrat(s) who made the claim obstruction of justice was not an impeachable offense.

2a. So sorry Nostradamus, your crystal ball must be in need of dusting. Not all Democrats think the same, though most of us believe The Congress has the duty of oversight, and are using the vote of the people to have the ability to investigate obstruction of justice: by the President, his family, his administration and other members of the Congress.

Some are actively seeking impeachment, some are waiting to see if cover ups, lies, misfeasance or malfeasance has been employed in such obstruction, and others are waiting until the election of 2020 November to let the people decide.

They sure have fooled you.
The Congress has the duty of oversight...
Congress has one remedy available - impeachment.
And... there will be no impeachment.

Impeachment is a political - not legal - process.

A president can be removed from office via the impeachment process absent alleged criminal wrongdoing.

The people have the authority to determine whether a president has abused his power and obstructed justice, and remove him from office.

Trump has clearly done both.

I don't know how often I've read that, and it doesn't sit well with me.

Historically, impeachment processes never failed to mention malfeasance that was criminal in nature. Never was there an impeachment that was merely, entirely political in nature, that is, a president impeached / removed from office merely because his political agenda didn't sit well with Congress. Let's not forget, "abuse of power" is a charge that is also in many instances criminal - such as, most famously, obstruction of justice, which is often an instance of using the power of office pursuant corrupt intent.

So, I'd say, impeachment, and even more so conviction presided over by the Chief Justice, is quasi-legal - while involving politicians doing the investigation and the rendering of sort of a "true bill", and removal - and is at least as much a legal as it is a political process. The language of the Constitution - "Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors" - points to same.

All told, I find depicting impeachment as a merely political process, akin to voting on any bill or resolution, does this Constitutional institution a disservice, and reduces its gravity. I'd rather not do that.

I appreciate the link, it was fascinating, and in particular the comments of Republican Senators whose false pathos of today expose the absolute and disgusting hypocrisy and partisanship recently seen by Sen. Grassley, and the vast number of hypocrites who put themselves and their job before our nation.

No other jury in America, since the advent of civil rights in America could be so biased.

At a time when Russia sought to undermine and disrupt the electoral process in the U.S. - undermining the Republic and the legitimacy of the U.S. government in the process - the Trump campaign sought and accepted help from Russia to win that election. They even went so far as to provide the Russians with information in the form of polling data so that Putin's henchmen could deploy their interference in a more targeted manner.

That should be an open and shut case for removal, even without the subsequent interference with the investigations into Trump's and Putin's misconduct.

It's merely adding insult to the already devastating injury that now Trump's underlings try to besmirch those who try to figure out what went on, and how to safeguard the Republic in the future, for being "divisive".

Republicans would need 20 Senators to vote to impeach Trump - aint gonna happen.

House Democrats are somewhat divided on the decision to impeach makes it even less likely to oust Trump.

and thats the reality of it

Good job Trump !

Tell us why Democrats suddenly believe obstruction rises to the level of an impeachable offense.

dont tell nixon it wasnt . or bill clinton

:auiqs.jpg:

For both former President Nixon and Clinton, there were underlying felonies committed by the President. Not so with President Donald J. Trump.

Cute try though.

Even if true, there's no need to be an "underlying crime" to obstruct justice. There may be a crime, there might not be enough evidence to prove so beyond a reasonable doubt..

Your analogy fall miserably short, Nixon actually destroyed evidence, that's a big no-no. Trump, not so much.

Nope. Do you masturbate? It does appear you do so, mentally.
