Yeah, you may be right. Forgot about the Never Trump Bunch - such as Lindsay Graham.

“But the Senate doesn’t impeach. The House does.”

You’re right. The House impeaches, takes simple majority, think grand jury. If this hurdle is cleared, case goes to Senate for trial, think of Senate as jurists, takes two thirds majority to convict, 67 yes votes.

‘Our’ fed govt. is so corrupt it cannot be redeemed. It’s all over but the screaming and the dying.

Correct.

The Pax Americana is unsustainable, so too is the trajectory of its spending and debt, and the U.S. Government is fundamentally corrupt.

The day of reckoning is coming. It's only a question of when.

It’s a lot more states than that.

We need new GOP senators.

Flake, Corker, Hatch, Heller, Alexander, Graham, McCain, Murkowsky, Hoeven, Rubio, Tillis, Burr, Lankford, Gardner, Cornyn, Cochran, Collins, Sasse, Kennedy, Shelby, Ernst, Blunt, McConnell, Wicker, Portman, Isakson, Johnson, Toomey, Rounds, Thune, Gaines, Barasso and Enzi are all Bush League Republicans hell bent on making America into North Mexico

Nothing new here, along with McCain, and the two women, they always vote 100% with Dems on every important bill.

No “actual crime” was alleged or shown

I agree with the sense of your post, but your example is wrong.

The Radical Republicans who controlled Congress in 1867 passed the Tenure of Office Act which required Senate agreement to dismiss any official whose appointment had required Senate confirmation.

Andrew Johnson believed the Act to be unconstitutional, and he was impeached for violating it by removing Edwin Stanton as Secretary of War and sending a replacement to the Senate for confirmation.

Two of the most egregious morons in the Senate. They are straight-out traitors and should be censored. They should be thrown off whatever committees they sit on and tossed out the door. The taxpayers deserve a heck of a lot more for their money than these two fools, always making trouble and doing nothing whatsoever useful for the American people.

Don’t forget their leader the Turtle.........so many disgusting Pubs up there!!

How about a poll of Republican voters to see who they would dispatch Flake & Graham?

The Act was unconstitutional. I don’t know if it was ever decided one way or another in the USSC but it seems patently uncon.

Politically speaking, Trump can not fire Muller, not without full throated support from Congress coming out on his side, howling for a second Special Counsel, and also hammering the JD to bring a conclusion to this field mouse investigation, by Muller. The midterms matter.

I quite agree the RINOS want Trump gone, as well. He is in their way. The people have a role in the outcomes of elections and the future of Trump and his agenda. Heard on Lou Dobbbs that Paul Ryan’s polling at 23, not but a few points above Pelosi.

Never-Trumpers and dimmocrats have found a very useful tool in Mueller to slow down Trump. Globalism & open borders must be protected. Both Flake & Graham are for open borders.

"You’re right. The House impeaches, takes simple majority, think grand jury. If this hurdle is cleared, case goes to Senate for trial, think of Senate as jurists, takes two thirds majority to convict, 67 yes votes."

That's the best answer here. Thanks!

I DID state that Flake & Graham are "two of the most egregious morons in the Senate". I did NOT say that they were the only ones!
