Law professor: If Trump committed bribery, it's ground for impeachment

[Wyatt earp]

Without a phone call transcript, we won't know with 100% whether bribery occurred or not in President Trump's phone call to Ukraine.
But if it turns out Trump used military aid as a bargaining tool to get Joe Biden investigated, this law professor says:

The Constitution provides for impeachment in cases of “treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors.” Trump’s alleged attempt to strongarm Ukraine into smearing a political opponent fits well within this framework. Using the office of the president for personal political benefit comports with both the standard understandings of bribery and the broader category of high crimes and misdemeanors.

Bribery is a deeply pernicious form of public corruption, and legal standards spelling out the offense often define it as a quid pro quo — that is, where both sides exchange something of value.

Since January 2017, you people have made anything and everything about Impeachment. The problem is that the leaders on your side are pussies and are afraid to bring Impeachment against Trump. Shit or get off the pot.

"But if"...

Well, we KNOW Biden did it, because we have him admitting it on video...

So, according to your post, Biden could actually be impeached before even being sworn in (assuming the idiot could actually win the election)...

One cannot be impeached without taking office, moron. Plus Biden didn't target his political rival, and Obama was the President.
And no, your "funny" rating can't get Biden impeached either.

Plus Biden didn't target his political rival,

Oh. Bribery is okay, if it doesn't target your political rival.

Thanks!

 

[Crepitus]

It turned out the whistleblower got his information second hand.
Perfect story for the NYT.

The whistleblower's lawyers have denied that accusation. It's also unlikely the IG would consider second hand info as a credible accusation. Basically it's just the corrupt tRump *administration* trying to discredit the report.

1. Can the Mods combine some of these double-digit threads on the subject?

2. Biden gave a video-taped confession of blackmailing the Ukraine P.M. The Dems, lib media, and snowflakes are pulling 5 - 6 G's spinning to distract from that point...

They're not "afraid" to bring impeachment per se, they collectively realize that without irrefutable, smoking gun evidence there isn't any chance that impeachment will lead to a conviction in the Senate. In the meantime impeachment TALK is a nice political tool since completely safe seat douche bags-D like Pelosi can take on the role of saying NO, while other dickweeds-D in more competitive districts can pound the table and "demand justice".

In other words, they can have their cake and eat it too without all the political risk that actually bringing articles of impeachment entails.

In the meantime the mindless drones in that make up the "base" are too distracted by arguments regarding what are "impeachable offenses" to notice they're being manipulated.

Bang the drum slowly. They have never accepted Election consequences. They did this with Bush and now Trump. They only accept Elections when they win.

Thank you...it's ok if Dems do it.

Hillary Clinton paid for Russian-authored Counter-Intelligence propaganda from a Trump-hating foreign spy to use the information against a political opponent to steal a Democratic election (like she stole / was given her party's primary / nomination). Obama and his criminal administration used that information in an attempt to control the outcome of an election and then in a failed coup attempt.
-- That is fine according to Democrats / snowflakes.

Meanwhile back on Earth, the dickweeds-D and the dickweeds-R continue their bi-partisan conspiracy to rape, pillage and burn while the partisan pinheads argue over which Political Crime Family has cuter uniforms.

Basically, the operative word is party. Behind closed doors, they just have a good time.

Altered out of context video. The Biden thing is nothing more than tRumpling spin.

Nice opinion - bullshit, but nice opinion.

There was nothing 'altered' - Biden bragged how he blackmailed the Ukraine P.M. because he wanted to make people believe he could be tough on foreign policy...however, there is a difference between being 'tough on foreign policy' and 'blackmail'.

The 'biden thing' was not brought up by Trump, you retard. It was brought up by Hillary Clinton in 2016 to ensure Biden did not enter the race, and it was resurrected by the Lib media who knew this would be an issue in the general election so went on the attack to distract from Biden giving a video-confession of blackmail...

...and it worked, as you proved stupid enough not to know the past , where it came from, or to see how you are being manipulated again.

IMO there are some who desperately want / need to Impeach Trump before the 2020 election because they are intelligent enough to realize none of their candidates, with their flaws / past and the current economy, who can beat him.

 

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

Well reportedly some are saying that an unnamed source close to the White House heard it directly from a source close to an unnamed member of the staff, who overheard a conversation reportedly, that Trump secretly tortures kittens in the White House Basement. ... Our panel of experts will discuss this at length over the next 4 days.

...and saw Trump pass out at 31 flavors last night.
