Former independent counsel Ken Starr said that he has not seen President Trump commit any offense that is "even close" to being impeachable.
John Catsimatidis in an interview airing Sunday on AM 970 in New York asked Starr, who led the investigation into former President Clinton's sexual misconduct with Monica Lewinsky, if Trump had committed any "impeachable offenses."
ADVERTISEMENT "Not even close," Starr replied. "I know of no evidence that would suggest that [Trump] has committed high crimes and misdemeanors."
"You can hate the way he tweets you can disagree with his policies ... but be very careful before you move the country toward impeachment," he added. "Its inherently divisive."
Starr has increasingly appeared on cable news shows over the past year to discuss special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.
The former independent counsel added that there was not a consensus over impeaching Clinton.
"Essentially, you need a consensus among we the people' [for impeachment]," he said. "We the American people need to agree this president should go. We had that with Richard Nixon. We did not have it with Bill Clinton."
"We certainly dont have it with Donald Trump," he said. "We have a nation divided, but a nation divided does not mean lets get rid of the president."

There’s a nice timely message that will make Feinstein hold her breath till she turns blue.
“...Ken Starr said that he has not seen President Trump commit any offense...”
Neither have the dummycraps, but they have much deeper perceptions.
HAHA
Ken Starr doesn’t matter. Ken Starr was.
Maxone Waters matters. Mad Maxine is

As in Civil War #2.
If the Dems take the House, I hope the first order of business is a doomed-to-failure attempt at impeachment-—it will reinforce our base and further demoralize their base...
Leftists view “impeach” as simply a recall vote.
Need I add: </sarc>
To the Marxists Trumps impeachable offense was just getting elected.
Doesn’t matter - the Dems think if Trump wears the wrong socks with his shoes its an impeachable offense.
One unacceptable impeachment offense: Annoying Democrats.
Tell it to Mad Maxine.
Evidence is not something Democrats care anything about as demonstrated in the Kavanaugh hearings.
Yeah but this genius says impeaching Trump is a “no brainer”....

Right on target, Mr. Starr.
Doesnt matter - the Dems think if Trump wears the wrong socks with his shoes its an impeachable offense.
***********
It does matter, whether the Democrats think so or not. A friendly Senate could, by majority vote, simply refuse to hear any charge brought by the House that was clearly not an impeachable offense under the Constitution, even if it had been committed. If the change was sufficiently phony, Trump could, even if he were convicted, probably get away wth refusing to vacate office, taking his case to the people, and letting our more impartial Supreme Court rule.

Trump won, Hillaryous lost, McCain’s dead, and Kavanaugh’s confirmed.
