Everybody’s Talking about the Impeachment, But…..
Everyone has an opinion on Trump’s impeachment, and one of the most I’ve come across is: Why only two articles? What about obstruction of justice more generally (ten points of which are contained in the Mueller Report)? What about violations of the emoluments clause of the Constitution (of which there have been hundreds). How about violations of campaign finance law or breach of fiduciary duties related to a charitable organization?
I’m most concerned about what’s suggested in the meme above, though I wouldn’t know the exact name of the crime. Doesn’t Trump have an obligation to protect the health and safety of the American people? Doesn’t deliberating poisoning our air and water for the benefit of the coal barons violate something very specific in the criminal code?
Craig,
Nope, that’s called a change in government policy. That’s what democratically elected representative governments are supposed to do, carry out the mandate granted by their election.
As for the much vaulted impeachment hearing where not a single GOB member broke ranks, but several democrats either voted against their party or abstained.
When the Democrat President Bill Clinton was impeached, Speaker Nancy Pelosi angrily complained “impeachment should not be considered without bi-partisan support”.
A party of liars and hypocritical time wasters, raging against a President who just continues on with the nation’s business.
