Impeach Donald Trump? (Barf Alert)
New York Times ^ | April 21, 2019 | Charles M. Blow

Posted on 04/22/2019 7:58:18 AM PDT by ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas

The Mueller report has been released, with redactions of course, and it is a damning document. Not only does it detail Russian efforts to attack our election to help the Trump campaign and the Trump campaign’s eager acceptance of that help, it paints a picture of Donald Trump as an unethical man with no regard for the rule of law.
....
Then there is the idea that an impeachment would be contentious and increase public support for Trump the way it did for Bill Clinton.

But I find the conflation of Clinton and Trump ill-reasoned on the issue of the public’s response in polling.

First, Clinton’s approval was subject to change in a way Trump’s is not. Clinton experienced a 40-point swing in his approval over his presidency, according to Gallup. Trump’s seems almost impervious to change, no matter the news.

damning document

Countless cable and news sockpuppets repeated the word "damning." Wonder if Zucker or the DNC canonized that word.
Then there is the idea that an impeachment would be contentious and increase public support for Trump the way it did for Bill Clinton.

Well, I doubt it would play out exactly the same as the Clinton impeachment. But Dem mandarins Pelosi and Hoyer say it's foolish.

an unethical man with no regard for the rule of law
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sounds like the Kenyan from Indonesia.

The Constitution says natural born citizen only.

Interestingly Obama never claimed to be one, Nancy Pelosi did that for him.

Speaking for myself only, — have at it. And lets dig deep and wide and investigate the origins of the dossier. And we want, no we demand, the names of all people involved. Scorched earth!

THE IMPEACHMENT OF BILL CLINTON

David Schippers was asked by his friend, Congressman Henry Hyde, to be Chief Investigative Counsel
for the US House Judiciary Committee. Schippers, a lifelong Democrat, accepted and took the job in April 1998.

The Hyde Committee was holding an inquiry on whether Clinton had committed impeachable offences in his handling
of the Paula Jones sexual harassment suit..... during which Clinton committed perjury regarding his affair with
Monica Lewinsky. The committee in December 1998 voted to impeach Clinton........a decision supported by Schippers.

Clinton testifying under oath.

On December 10, 1998, Schippers said to the committee:
"The President, then,
<><> has lied under oath in a civil deposition,
<><> he lied under oath in a criminal grand jury.
<><> he lied to the people,
<><> he lied to his Cabinet,
<><> he lied to his top aides,
<><> and now he's lied under oath to the Congress of the United States."
"There's no one left to lie to."

=======================================

Upon the passage of H. Res. 611, Clinton was impeached on December 19, 1998, by the House of Representatives
on grounds of perjury to a grand jury (by a 228–206 vote) and obstruction of justice (by a 221–212 vote).

The Senate voted not to remove the impeached president.

STROLL DOWN MEMORY LANE
Only recently, Monica Lewinsky came clean and made clear that a sitting President, Bill Clinton, suborned perjury from her.
An impeachable offense, for which the penalty is loss of his law license.

All of Clinton's crimes happened while he was a sitting president:
the 47 Oral Office visits from Monica; subornation of perjury, lying under oath, hush money, etc etc etc.

Clinton lied under oath about suborning Monica.
MORE EGREGIOUSLY.....Clinton even went so far as to have Lewinsky give Linda Tripp written instructions,
coaching Linda on how to properly perjure herself in the Willey matter. (Linda didnt buy it.)

===============================

THE LIST GOES ON AND ON: Bill's intimate pal, Vernon Jordan, arranged a $40,000-per-year cushy government job for Lewinsky shortly
after she signed ......but before she filed...... a falsified affidavit saying she had NOT had sex with the president.

As insurance, Clinton had another pal, his Ambassador to the United Nations, Bill Richardson,
personally visit Lewinsky at the Watergate to offer her a government job to shut her up.

They will never impeach Trump

They are just saying it so they can keep the rabid left interested and donating to campaigns.

One think Democrats are known for, making a ton of promises and never delivering anything.

At the time Bill got lewinskied in the Oval Office, the Clintons had kept top secret all the gory details of
Hillary's political ambitions and the preparations to get wealthy using the Clinton Foundation and the US govt apparat.

They were quite the pair back then------Hillary looked like she "standing by her man"but the truth was
something else. Her own ambitions were going down the drain---she was not about to let that happen.

One Clinton lies.....

"I never had sexual relations with that woman...Miss Lewinsky."

And the other Clinton swears to it.

Standing by her man (sniffle). Hillary KNEW his sexual abuse was true---
the Clintons took a secret a poll and were advised to lie as long as they could.

=============================================

VINTAGE TIME COVER The Clintons leave the WH
arm-in-arm after Bill got lewinskied. Plotting to exploit
Bill's BJ for votes, the Clintons' political apparat never faltered.
That smirk on Hillary's face tells the story.

Hillary later went on network TV all decked out in virginal pearls,
denying everything, blaming Billy's B/J on "an invention of a VRWC."

Bill later admitted to it, was impeached, and disbarred.
He had to pay Paula Jones 850,000 dollars.

Whenever I hear these idiots screaming about impeachment, it's for 'obstruction'.

When I remind them there has to be a crime to obstruct and Mueller found no evidence of a crime being committed, they clam up and go on about 'Orange Man Bad'.

There must be 2 dozen threads over at DU screaming for impeachment. It’s like a blood lust over there with spittle flying from the lips.

Will they ever figure out that not liking someone is not grounds to prosecute them?
