If Trump were defending in a criminal trial, what you're saying would make sense.Yeah, abuse of power isn't a crime...but it IS impeachable.
No, it isn't.
Of course it is. Trump just got impeached for it.
Let me try to explain this so you might be able to understand it.
the house voted to impeach, much like a cop when he cites you for speeding
the senate is the court, they acquitted Trump of all charges, if you took your speeding ticket to to court and the judge ruled you innocent, you are not forever guilty of speeding.
but using your logic, clinton was forever impeached, the difference is that his impeachment was bi-partisan and he was proven guilty of several crimes.
obstruction of congress appears no where in the US statutes as a crime.
But this is an impeachment trial for high crimes, not a criminal trial for statutory crimes. Evidence has been presented by the house. The senate admitted that crimes were committed, but they decided it didn't reach the level requiring removal from office. Acquittal isnt exoneration, especially when the senate ignored evidence.
No high crimes were documented. Merely opinions from biased people.
and lies before congress and the american people by Schiff, Nadler, Pelosi, and the rest of the lying dems. If lying before congress is a crime, every one of them is guilty.
