The First Time a Bold New Yorker Got Impeached for Taking on the Swamp
The Daily Signal ^ | December 22, 2019 | Fred Lucas

[snip]But reforming an old, entrenched system had its price. The system pushed back with impeachment, prompting the elected chief executive to respond: “I impeach the criminal conspirators.”

It may sound similar to the current Washington saga and House Democrats’ impeachment of President Donald Trump. But this was nearly a hundred years ago in 1913 in Albany, New York, where Gov. William Sulzer took on the Empire State’s version of the “swamp.” It was known as Tammany Hall.

If Trump’s lawyers in the Senate trial properly examine the Paul Pelosi corruption in the Ukraine, there will be a real basis to indict and remove Nancy Pelosi.

I don’t believe that Representatives or Senators can be impeached.

Mitch McConnell has the power to acquit Trump immediately.

Read the 1993 Nixon vs United States ruling by SCOTUS.

Mitch doesn't need to wait for Nancy to send over Articles of Impeachment. The deed is done, there is no need to wait for House managers or all this formality.

All Mitch has to do is a schedule a vote to acquit or convict Trump.

Call every Democrat who has a kid who benefited from Ukraine. Pelosi, Kerry, Biden and any others. Also, anyone who has other family invested in Ukraine. Make it a cattle call. They march in, testify before the senate and on the way out there is an FBI agent ready to take them into custody.

No quarter.

The Democratic Party is Tammany Hall National. The buying off of the immigrant vote, pay to play schemes, and overall graft makes them the Tammany Hall political progeny (including killing of rogue operatives)
