And Nixon was not being charged with a crime, his impeachment was about the abuse of power for the ''Cover up'' of the Watergate theft and crime.They were POSSIBLY evidence of a crime, they did not know for certain, until they heard the tapes..What job did they refuse to do...? Go to court for years because of the president's stonewalling by tying witnesses and evidence up in the courts?Once again, you are feebly trying to make excuses for the House refusing to do their job.Nostra....are you Italian descent? Nostra, as in La Cosa Nostra?That is no excuse for the House not doing it’s job because they were in a hurry to go on vacation.
The House could have waited the 3 weeks, and done it after their break.... nothing was going to be done till after break regardless of doing it before or after the break...so yea, they could have waited till after break....
BUT KNOW, that the House had enough evidence to convict when they voted to impeach him.
The Senate was not likely to convict just on a partisan basis...which they had to be aware of that...
THE NEW, additional, and first hand EVIDENCE that came out after the impeachment, they were completely unaware of it even having the opportunity of coming out at the time of the impeachment.... it just fell in their lap!
This new first hand witnesses and document emails that got released through court orders afterwards, and Bolton's leaked book,
it truly would have given a real shot at the 20 Senators voting with the Dems to remove him from office.... not a guarantee, but a real shot at it even with the blind partisanship... because it's pretty damning first hand evidence... we the people would have seen it nation wide, on tv, which would have made it harder for the Republican senators to all walk the Lock Step fox trot, that they so easily had walked....
And the only “lockstepping” in the Senate was by the Dimwingers, but don’t let facts get in the way of your lies.
that's all bull crud.
When we already have precedence from the Supreme Court, witnesses and TAPES, like in the NIXON TAPES of his personal doings with his full administration, could NOT be held back from the impeachment inquirers on the basis of Executive privilege.... period.
Just think about it, there would be no reason for the Founders to even put impeachment in to the Constitution, if the President could legally stonewall the impeachment investigation for months or years by denying subpoenas and admin witnesses, and then tying it up in the court for months or years....to get the subpoena witnesses and evidence....
It would completely nullify the power given to the House on Impeachment....
You don't understand the law, Care! The Supreme Court ruled that the Nixon Tapes could not be withheld from Congressional investigators because they were evidence of a CRIME and that took precedence over Executive Privilege. There is no crime here. There is a Party in search of a crime because they don't like the President that the people elected. The Supreme Court DID NOT rule that absent of a crime...that a President has zero right to Executive Privilege!
the same thing with the Ukraine stuff they needed...
