"I never had sex with that woman". He did but still was not impeached. This is more about the starving and abused Latino children and their greedy relatives that the Donald is protecting us from? The presidential office needs some discretionary leeway. He talked to Putin, isn't looking for peaceful solutions good? The precedence has been set, lose an election and throw an impeachment hissy fit.
Besides the already mentioned point that your ignorance of comparatively recent history is showing, about Bill Clinton's impeachment...
No, this was already under discussion before this administrations repeated violations of US law became quite so apparent with regards to the kidnapping of children.
"Leeway" = permission to keep parents from their children in violation of court orders? It equals the right to repeated hold US citizens for no reason whatsoever? It's fine with you that the kids are getting sexually abused and raped? It's fine with you that they are crammed in together, without soap or blankets, without sufficient food? What kind of a monster are
you?!
However, rightly or wrongly, none of that is what this is about. Where the hell have you been?
?
... "talked to Putin?" WTF, Luee!
Actively sought and accepted foreign interference in our election.Why doesn't that bother you?
Instructed his staff and officials to lie to the Special Counsel and his team.Is this another of those "leeway" situations for you? He has to be given some space to tell his folks to commit perjury?
Paid hush money to some witnesses against him; attempted to coerce or buy off other witnesses.But what's a little witness tampering between friends, Luee!
This is without going into the emouluments clause violations to the tune of 10s of millions of dollars. This is without discussing his Trump Foundation violations, severe enough that he was forced to shut it down. This is without exploring the abuses of his inauguration team money.
None of those were in Mueller's purview, but any of them is more than enough cause for consideration of impeachment, let alone all of them combined. The man breaks the law without even noticing it, because, as he said a couple days ago "I have the right to do whatever I want as president."
The impeachment of Bill Clinton:
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2018/12/clinton-impeachment/573940/1998, the Republican-led House of Representatives voted to impeach President Bill Clinton on one charge of perjury and one charge of obstruction of justice. The articles of impeachment had their origin in a relationship between the president and a 22-year-old White House intern, Monica Lewinsky.
The case went to the Senate.
And you think
this is somehow at a lower level than that? Do we have evidence that Trump lied to Mueller?
What do you think perjury is?!
As for obstruction of justice, that's what telling your staff to lie for you is. That's what attempting to intimidate witnesses is. And the law is clear --> obstruction of justice does not require your efforts to work.
Is he guilty? Well, let's just say that impeachment proceedings are not about establishing guilt - they are about establishing probable cause for a trial.
The probable cause is established for everybody, Luee. There is enough reason for impeachment hearings. It doesn't mean that it will happen, because many in the GOP who were happy to impeach Clinton see nothing wrong with what Trump did and others just don't want to risk offending Trump.
And because dolts like you who do not know their history are also busy squeezing their eyes and ears shut to avoid risking knowing the truth.
"Director Mueller, isn't it fair to say the President's written answers were not only inadequate and incomplete, because he didn't answer many of your questions, but where he did, his answers showed he wasn't always being truthful?"
Mueller responded in four simple words: "I would say generally."
