Article. I.
Section. 3.
The Senate shall have the sole Power to try all Impeachments. When sitting for that Purpose, they shall be on Oath or Affirmation. When the President of the United States is tried, the Chief Justice shall preside: And no Person shall be convicted without the Concurrence of two thirds of the Members present.
Judgment in Cases of Impeachment shall not extend further than to removal from Office, and disqualification to hold and enjoy any Office of honor, Trust or Profit under the United States: but the Party convicted shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law.
“and the Senate will cave to pressure to remove President Trump”
yeah, right. The GOP would immediately and permanently cease to exist if that happened and they ALL know that ...
Romney, and a few others, do not seem to care. They feel super safe.
1. Executive Privilege
2. GFY
It would be magnificent if Pompeo followed the Bob Mueller template ....”Um um um .... can you repeat that .... never heard of him .... beyond my purview.... outside of my purview ... “
I think the Democrats are vampires, and the Republicans are their familiars.
“What other world leaders will discuss anything candidly now, with any US official?”
Trump made that exact point 2 days ago in a press conference. He gave them their 1 transcript, explained he spoke with Ukraine first about it for their ok before releasing it. Now, hopefully he will use Executive privilege for all their other document demands, drag it out just like obozo did with the incompetent noce guys GOPe, ... shut them down, shut them out, sit back and watch demokraps foam at the mouth. In my dreams he would be releasing obozo’s transcripts with foreign leaders.
“Does the WH have to give documents to The committees due to the Impeachment Inquiry?”
Depends on the info sought, the document, the lawyers, the judge, the appeal, etc etc ... but “yes”, it is a fishing expedition as they’ve got ZERO.
“This may come as a shock, but establishment Republicans are part of the swamp.”
To some maybe. It is easy to figure out who they are ... the ones who don’t defend POTUS, don’t attack the demokraps ... there are a lot of them.
Dems said let’s rush at breakneck speed to roust Trump out to the sidewalk. By Halloween. One minute time limits on GOP questions.
But.....
Love that face time on TV. So, subpoenas issued for seventy witnesses starting with Pompeo, Rudi, Steve Bannon, DJTJ’s hair stylist, his chef, talker Michael Savage, and Don Jr and Barron (”what did your daddy say that night, Barron. You are under oath.”
Impeachment in Senate will come on election eve.
I like the way you think :)
I will never, ever understand why Trump won’t declassify documents that would clear him and incriminate the very ones who are trying to destroy him.
Maybe he should take a second look at the advisers who caution against it. They are probably the ones who are knifing him in the back.
Does anyone really think that Wray is a stand-up guy? He is on the top of the list.
What Republicans. I only see sick complaining cowards that really don't give a shi!.
He has ordered declassifications before and they don’t happen. The Agencies muck it up with lengthy reviews, serial referrals to other Agencies, etc. It is clear that much of the government is in enemy hands and will not carry out his orders or will sabotage him whenever possible. Today’s revelation that the ICIG revised its Whistle Blower procedures to allow hearsay just before the new Ukraine complaint was filed and that Schiff seemed to have advance knowledge shows just how deep the conspiracy is against Trump and us.
House impeachment inquiry? I don’t think they’ve voted to open a formal impeachment inquiry. Or is that not required?
Hillary’s making an appearance this weekend on the CBS Sunday morning show, and I saw a clip today. She actually doesn’t look half bad. I’m thinking she’s had a makeover.
A deadlocked convention could call on her, easily.
Don’t they have to actually vote for impeachment to force compliance?
I am not sure Jim?
Good question!
