“Power tends to corrupt,” said Lord Acton, the 19th-century British historian.
“Absolute power corrupts absolutely.”
Trump has abused and exploited the power granted to him, and abused
the priveleges, perks, and opportunities to corrupt the system that we
live under.
What Trump does, and what Trump puts into motion, is not
behavior and actions that are within the guidelines.
Why Bush hasn't been impeached

It's painfully clear:
Today's Congress wouldn't have impeached Richard Nixon
2 May 2019
Nixon took one final helicopter flight from the White House a
generation too soon. He shuffled off this mortal coil a decade
too early for redemption.
Because judging from the Republican response to the Mueller
report, there is no way today’s Congress would have come close
to impeaching Tricky Dick.
Kamala Harris-
The former prosecutor and current presidential candidate, who
exposed the very long distance traveled by Republicans over
the last 45 years.
She began with a simple question of an attorney general who
was supposed to apply some establishment lacquer to the grifters
and jokers who are the best and brightest on Planet Trump. Instead,
he revealed himself to the biggest grifter of them all: a fake attorney
general defending a fraudulent administration.
“Has the president or anyone at the White House ever asked or
suggested that you open an investigation of anyone,” she asked
for starters.
The otherwise unflappable Barr looked up to the heavens and pouted.
“Um, I wouldn’t, I wouldn’t, er,” he staggered.
“Yes or no,” she replied, prompting a pause that wanted to last
until the next recess.
“Could you,” asked Barr, “could you repeat that question?”
“I will repeat it,” said the senator all too cheerfully. Sitting next to
Harris, her fellow Democratic senator and candidate, Cory Booker,
could barely suppress his smirk.
She repeated the question and fixed her prey with a stare:
“Yes or no please, sir.”
“Um,” pouted the attorney general. “The president or anybody else…”
His interrogator said he would probably remember that kind of thing.
“Yeah but I’m trying to grapple with the word ‘suggest.’
I mean, there have been discussions of matters out there,”
Barr said, waving his hand expansively around the universe,
“but they have not asked me to open an investigation.”
“Perhaps they have suggested,” Harris obligingly suggested herself.
“I don’t know. I wouldn’t say suggest,” said Barr.
“Hinted? Inferred? You don’t know,” concluded Harris.
And so it came to pass that the attorney general of the
United States pretended that he couldn’t remember if
the president had tried to use the justice department to
pursue his personal enemies.

Congress Should Impeach William Barr
Apr. 18, 2019
Where Mueller intended to leave the job of judging Trump’s obstructive
conduct to Congress, Barr interposed his own judgment. Barr offered this
incredible statement for why Trump’s behavior was excusable:
“[T]here is substantial evidence to show that the President was frustrated
and angered by a sincere belief that the investigation was undermining his
presidency, propelled by his political opponents, and fueled by illegal leaks,”
Barr said. “Nonetheless, the White House fully cooperated with the Special
Counsel’s investigation,” and credited him further with taking “no act that
in fact deprived the Special Counsel of the documents and witnesses
necessary to complete his investigation.”
Sincere? How can Barr use that word to describe the mentality of a
man whose own staffers routinely describe him in the media as a
pathological liar? Trump repeatedly lied about Russia’s involvement
in the campaign, and his own dealings with Russia. And he also, contra
Barr, repeatedly denied the special counsel access to witnesses by
dangling pardons to persuade them to withhold cooperation.
It is true that many of Trump’s attempts to obstruct justice failed.
As Mueller wrote, the president’s “efforts to influence the investigation
were mostly unsuccessful, but that is largely because the persons who
surrounded the President declined to carry out orders or accede to his
requests.”

It remains the same, as the Nixon years.The deeds of the Democrats
must remain spotless, blameless, and transparent, while the Republicans
in power operate in darkness, secrecy and utter, obvious corruption.
FFS, the law is made to be lenient and forgiving, and Trump and his enablers
refuse operate within the law, and abuse the law.
The hypocrisy was thick as mud, when Republicans were abusing
Congressional pages, and fucking their mistresses in government
offices, and persecuting Bill Clinton for seducing his secretary.
They impeached him because some semen as stuck on her dress.
WTF is stuck on the Republicans that support Trump ?
Ask the Republicans that are sitting in prison.
