The president is clearly guilty of high crimes and misdemeanors.

Clara says:

Where's the beef evidence?


What the US Constitution says about IMPEACHMENT
 
 
The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.
 

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.

The President shall be Commander in Chief of the Army and Navy of the United States, and of the Militia of the several States, when called into the actual Service of the United States; he may require the Opinion, in writing, of the principal Officer in each of the executive Departments, upon any Subject relating to the Duties of their respective Offices, and he shall have Power to grant Reprieves and Pardons for Offences against the United States, except in Cases of Impeachment.

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors.

The Trial of all Crimes, except in Cases of Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed; but when not committed within any State, the Trial shall be at such Place or Places as the Congress may by Law have directed.

I fault Sessions for letting these circuses continue and I fault Trump for letting Sessions continue.

I have wondered if Cohen is a traitor and Clinton agent all along.

When did Cohen start taping Trump?

Immunity given by an illegal person (Mueller) can surely be reversed.

Everyone of those outfits is controlled by a liberal Jewish head

Except Newsweb

Trump is arguably the best friend Israel has ever had

It shows their love of progressive transformation of western civilization is stronger than any purported support of Israel

In this case, the claim is that Trump “illegally” paid for an expense that isn’t directly campaign related (fail to see how doing something to keep your wife from being embarassed is campaign related) out of his own pocket and it affected the election.

If they take this to court, the judge (unless one of the most leftist hacks available) will laugh this out onto the street.

This was the news story in early 2016: The Justice Department has granted immunity to a former State Department staffer, who worked on Hillary Clinton's private email server, as part of a criminal investigation into the possible mishandling of classified information, according to a senior law enforcement official.

The official said the FBI had secured the cooperation of Bryan Pagliano, who worked on Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign before setting up the server in her New York home in 2009.

Another in Sep 2016: Three key witnesses to Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server were given immunity from prosecution in exchange for their cooperation with the FBI's investigation, a top U.S. congressman said on Friday. The revelation is certain to fuel Republican anger over the FBI's handling of the Clinton investigation just days before she and GOP rival Donald Trump will face off at the first presidential debate.

Basically it was done in the Obama DOJ, and all "by the book" as Obama allegedly said in a meeting. It was so "by the book" they had to hide it.

OF COURSE!

This is OBVIOUSLY scripted. It is prosecutorial manipulation in exchange for a plea. (persecutorial?)

It is judicial fiasco to not call them on this. Judges are SUPPOSED to question bogus plea deals. ESPECIALLY for non crimes or issues NOT IN THEIR JURISDICTION.
