Impeachable offense? Try Bribery

[rightwinger]

The Constitution is generally vague on what constitutes an impeachable offense
One of the crimes it specifically identifies as impeachable is.....Bribery

The Constitution Says ‘Bribery’ Is Impeachable. What Does That Mean?

In fact, the Founders had a broader conception of bribery than what’s in the criminal code. Their understanding was derived from English law, under which bribery was understood as an officeholder’s abuse of the power of an office to obtain a private benefit rather than for the public interest. This definition not only encompasses Trump’s conduct—it practically defines it.

 

[rightwinger]

Trump specifically demanded “favors” in return for discussing military aid

Rather than favors that are in the interests of the United States, he demanded information that could be used against a political rival for his personal gain

The very definition of bribery

 

[rightwinger]

Article II, Section 4, says the president “shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.”

I hope you don't think there was any bribery in the transcript-I know you are smarter than that.

Trump's undeniable attempt at bribing the Ukrainian leader is creating cracks in Republican support for him. Time for Republicans to jump ship and some are looking for space in a lifeboat.

Oh, I get it. So now it wasn't "quid pro quo" President Trump committed, it was "bribery"?

I've never seen such a bunch who keep changing the narrative. Do you know how desperate you really appear?

What the hell do you know about "Republican support"? I sincerely doubt that you even personally know a single Republican.

Support for this President is far higher than you can even imagine. You're in for a whole lot of tears on the day after election day, and I'll relish every minute of it.

Well, according to Trump all those folks testifying about his bribery are scum, so he has nothing to worry about.

Bribe him by asking for the truth and to speak with his AG? Camp, you’re consistently idiotic with your posts.
