Impeachment

It's true: Donald Trump once supported impeaching George W. Bush

Since there is a tweet for everything, there's probably one for this as well. But this is funny.

-------------
Based on the CNN transcript from Oct. 15, 2008, Our Principles was faithful to the video. In fact, when host Wolf Blitzer pressed Trump, the real estate tycoon doubled down.

Here is the exchange:

Trump: "I was surprised that she didn't do more in terms of Bush and going after Bush. It was almost -- it just seemed like she was going to really look to impeach Bush and get him out of office, which, personally, I think would have been a wonderful thing."

Blitzer: "Impeaching him?"

Trump: "Absolutely, for the war, for the war."

Blitzer: "Because of the conduct of the war."

Trump: "Well, he lied. He got us into the war with lies. And, I mean, look at the trouble Bill Clinton got into with something that was totally unimportant. And they tried to impeach him, which was nonsense. And, yet, Bush got us into this horrible war with lies, by lying, by saying they had weapons of mass destruction, by saying all sorts of things that turned out not to be true."

I only remember McCarthy saying good things about Comey and Mueller. He had worked with both in a different context, but had personal experience with them.

My friend who works for the FBI said the same thing to me (even in private). He worked directly with Comey and previously Mueller. He said both were very honorable and decent men and exceptional to work for. After the IG report he had to acknowledge that Comey obviously screwed up. He wasn't involved in investigations, so he didn't have direct knowledge of things, but he was surprised at Comey. He said it seemed very out of character for him.

What I suspect is that these guys are very competent bureaucrats who work very well with others. As a result, people who know them give them the benefit of the doubt. I still do with Mueller, but the handling of the email non-indictment was enough for Comey to lose my confidence.

To be fair, if Bush had actually intentionally had intelligence falsified and lied to get us into a war, I'd want him impeached too.

Why is impeachment political? Clearly the founding fathers thought it shouldn’t been. Maybe Congress should create a law that states a third of the opposition party or 2/3 of the house has to agree on impeachment

I think the founders thought it should be political but with some guidance. The power of impeachment was solely given to the House, which was the most political part of the most political branch of government. They provided some guidance (bribery, treason, and "high crimes and misdemeanors"), but the latter basis is pretty imprecise and leaves a lot of wiggle room.

I do think they intended for decorum and procedure to be orderly. I think that's why they required the Chief Justice to preside. However, they left all substantive decision-making power with the House (and Senate for the actual trial) and granted the President no legal remedy if he thinks he was impeached improperly.

TDS is a terrible disease.
 
The job numbers plus a failed impeachment (in House or Senate) may break the Dems before the election. Will have no momo in 2020. You can sense this on Twitter and on this board.
 
The fact that Democrats are more angry at Donald Trump for looking into Joe Biden’s corruption than they are at Joe Biden’s corruption, tells you everything you need to know.

He'll interpret things how he wants. Kinda pointless in haggling over it.

That was proven when you showed LH that Trump made it clear that he wasn't talking about Neo-Nazis on the Charlottesville march (good people on both sides). Transcript and video proof couldn't convince him that he was wrong. :lmao:
 
You guys giving up on Ukraine?

The WAPO, which has been one of the primary media drivers of the entire Impeachgate Movement, is trying to pivot back to Russia

Did it explain Why RBG agreed to stay?

When a stay like that is issued, it doesn't have to be explained, because it's temporary. It's basically her way of saying that the full court should get to look at the matter. It doesn't necessarily mean that she'll ultimately rule with Trump. However, she has some personal privacy and libertarian leanings on this sort of thing, so she may. It's hard to say at this point.

Madness

Every wonder how it is that the counties immediately surrounding Washington DC are always among the top 8 counties in the US in income-per-capita? This is part of the how, and they dont want taxpayers spending much time asking questions about it. The US is the piggy bank for the world's unelected bureaucrats like the ones called by Schiff as "fact" witnesses

Trump has upset their apple cart and they dont like it

I’ve mentioned this in the past on here and the Libs on this board completely ignores it. The fighting shouldn’t be happening between the American citizens. Divide and conquer is their strategy and their followers fall for it no matter how rich they are all getting in Washington DC and the surrounding counties. They defend that side no matter how many facts kick them in the nutz.
