Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office

[kyzr]

1. Bill Clinton's behavior with an intern would have gotten ANY manager in the country fired, period. It was simply unacceptable behavior. He should have been removed. Where was the #metoo movement back then?

2. Impeachment is defined in the Constitution. The reasons for impeachment are listed also, they are "High crimes and misdemeanors". But don't worry if Trump gets impeached. The senate already signaled that they consider this "impeachment inquiry" as partisan and not criminal. Even Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz and GW professor Jonathon Turley said that the Ukraine phone call does not warrant impeachment.
Turley: Trump's Ukraine transcript: Unwise words but no proof of a crime
Dershowitz: Opinion | Hamilton Wouldn’t Impeach Trump

Trump's call on a foreign government to dig up dirt on his political opponent would get him tossed from any other office in the United States. It was simply unacceptable behavior.
But that wasn't a crime- the House could still have impeached Clinton for it.

And I agree- this Senate is very unlikely to impeach Trump for anything. This Senate would have been cheering on Nixon and agreeing with him that the Oval Office tapes were 'fake news'.

I showed you two law professors that said the Ukraine call was a nothingburger. You haven't shown anyone who says its actually "impeachable" except the democrats, because that's all they have.
One man's "digging up dirt" is another man's "oppo research". I recall that the democrats said that Hillary's paying Russians for "dirt" on Trump, aka the Steele Dossier, was absolutely fine, just normal "oppo research". Now when Trump wants to look for "corruption" before giving US tax dollars, that's impeachable.

“You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role,” the politician said. “Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.”

That man was South Carolina’s own Lindsey Graham, then a 43-year-old, third-term Republican Congressman. The president in question was Bill Clinton.

Were Republicans right then? Is impeachment about 'cleansing the office'? Is impeachment about restoring honor and integrity to the office?

If so the House should move full speed ahead with Impeachment.

You think impeaching a president because you lost in 2016 is bringing integrity back ? Lol that’s funny

I think impeaching Trump because he is both breaking crimes and has removed the honor and the integrity of the office of President is exactly what Lindsey Graham was talking about before

That’s not it of bounds,, he’s trying to investigate corruption.. it’s his job.. sorry little man stomp your feet again it’s going To be a long 6 years

No he's not. He just wants something to point to at his rallies. A public announcement of an investigation of his opponent is all he thinks he needs to hawk all the rubes he has on his side. He couldn't careless if the accusations are true, just that there are allegations. Worked out well for him in 2016, in that all the Rubes will still swear she is as guilty as a criminal can be.

Joe Biden shouldn’t have used his position in Ukraine to make his loser son money,, trump just blew the whistle

from Turley's month old op ed. And dershowitz is meaningless.

If a quid pro quo was proven, it would be self-dealing and an abuse of public office, and that can be a crime. Just ask disgraced former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. He was convicted after calling other political figures to leverage the appointment of a new United States senator, to replace the newly elected President Obama, for his own political gain. While some of us were highly critical of that prosecution, because politicians routinely use such decisions to their own benefit, Blagojevich was found guilty and his conviction was later upheld.

You can't dispute the Turley and Dershowitz articles, thanks for playing.
The potential crime that needs to be investigated is that Hunter Biden benefited greatly by being Joe's son. Why was Hunter put on the board of Burisma at $83,000 a month? Was it payback to protect the Soros' organization from prosecution?
Why was Hunter, Kerry's step-son and Whitey Bulgers nephew's hedge-fund given $1.5b by China? What did they get in return?

Trump's "crimes" were not found after investigation after investigation, so don't whine when the democrat's "crimes" get some of the same scrutiny.

A quick quiz:
If you suspect a crime do you a) call the police to investigate, or b) call the neighbor down the street and ask him to call the police?
If you or Trump has any evidence of a crime- by all means pursue the actual channels to report and investigate crimes.
But Trump didn't pass on the Right Wing talking points to the FBI and ask them to check them out- Trump called a foreign government and asked them to investigate American citizens- both named Biden- his political rival.

But not just investigate- Trump made a secret call to the President of the Ukraine to ask him to start an investigation- and then Trump's lackey's on Trump's orders pushed Ukraine for a public announcement of the investigation.

Hmmmm what kind of legitimate investigation comes with a demand for a public announcement of the investigation.....?

Answer- no legitimate investigation starts there.

why didn't that happen then when obammy was there?

You would have to ask your fellow Trumpettes why you couldn't figure out a way to impeach our first black President.

I answered your question. it didn't happen and the office got cleaned up when Trump took it over. FINALLY! the GOP allowed the elections to take his sorry ass out. and not allow the vijay jay queen from take over.

Yep- the GOP couldn't do it in 8 years.

I love how no one is addressing the hypocrisy of the GOP's position change from the Clinton impeachment to Trump's impeachment.

But that wasn't a crime- the House could still have impeached Clinton for it.

And I agree- this Senate is very unlikely to impeach Trump for anything. This Senate would have been cheering on Nixon and agreeing with him that the Oval Office tapes were 'fake news'.

I showed you two law professors that said the Ukraine call was a nothingburger.

Except you lied about Turley and I showed you that Turley never said it was a 'nothingburger'- he specifically pointed out that the call was wrong. But it would be hard to come up with evidence of the crime.

Deshowitz has a very narrow view- and also believes that Clinton should not have been impeached for perjury about getting a blow job.

As far as law professors who disagree with you- there are dozens.
Judge Andrew Napolitano: Trump’s call with Ukraine president manifests criminal and impeachable behavior
For heaven's sake, Trump was just investigated by Mueller for two-and-a-half tumultuous years for allegedly bringing the Russian government into the 2016 election and now he has attempted in one phone call to bring the Ukrainian government into the 2020 election! Does he understand the laws he has sworn to uphold?

It was to remedy just such reckless, constitutionally destructive behavior that impeachment was intended.
Constitutional scholar issues dire warning: Impeach Trump or our democracy ‘will fail’
It’s extremely clear that it is a quid pro quo,” he said. “It’s laughable to think that the president was not trying to gain personally by investigating Joe Biden.”

He couldn't careless if the accusations are true, just that there are allegations. Worked out well for him in 2016, in that all the Rubes will still swear she is as guilty as a criminal can be.

Joe Biden shouldn’t have used his position in Ukraine to make his loser son money,, trump just blew the whistle

well you have less integrity that a crack pimp, but there is a question of kettle and pot. I'd agree that anyone running for potus should pledge that his kids would not have for employment by a govt unless they're a professional employed in that profession by a for employer with intl contacts.

Now now calm down

I think impeaching Trump because he is both breaking crimes and has removed the honor and the integrity of the office of President is exactly what Lindsey Graham was talking about before

“You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role,” the politician said. “Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.”

That man was South Carolina’s own Lindsey Graham, then a 43-year-old, third-term Republican Congressman. The president in question was Bill Clinton.

Asking two foreign governments to dig up dirt on your political opponent is clearly of out of the bounds of the role of President.

Allegations are cheap. Trumpybear shouldn't have used US aid money as a bribe to the Ukraine to get a public announcement of an investigation into his political enemies. Bribery is an impeachable offense.

He’s a whistle blower ,, he deserves to be protected,, if Biden son did nothing wrong then let the investigation continue

Trump is a 'whistleblower'? LOL. Trump didn't report anything through any legal mechanisms in the U.S.- he made a secret call to Ukraine to get them to make a public announcement that it would be investigating his political rival.

But I am glad you think that if Trump did nothing wrong, that the impeachment investigation- along with the investigation into Trump's finances must continue.

Were Republicans right then? Is impeachment about 'cleansing the office'? Is impeachment about restoring honor and integrity to the office?

If so the House should move full speed ahead with Impeachment.

You think impeaching a president because you lost in 2016 is bringing integrity back ? Lol that’s funny

He didn't ask for info on a political opponent.
He asked for the countries to investigate criminal acts committed against their countries.

Did Donald Trump in fact ask two foreign governments to investigate his political rival?

Yes he did.

Hell Trump couldn't even figure out what 'criminal acts' the foreign countries were supposed to investigate about his political rival.
