Impeachment hurts but Teflon Trump thrives

[TalkRadio_]

Washington (AFP) - Impeachment is about the worst thing that can happen to a president -- unless that president is Donald Trump.

There is no question that having that historic asterisk as only the third US president ever impeached will hurt him personally.

But it's equally true that the Republican adores a good fight. And impeachment is the Olympics of Washington brawling.

"This moment is (perfect) for a person like him," said Rich Hanley, a professor of communications at Quinnipiac University.

What kind of loser gets impeached in his first term? A moron, that's who.

Everybody told him if he only listened to "Yes Men" he'd end up impeached. He got rid of anyone who would talk any sense into him and immediately committed impeachable acts (not that he hasn't all along.)

You can whine all you want, the reason Trump is here is because he fucks up EVERYTHING he's ever done.

And now, just like he had Daddy and then the Russians, he has his enablers to rush in and save his fat incompetent ass. LMAO

Understand this clown, "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."

And misdemeanors are crimes. So, there are no articles of impeachment that are crimes. The SCOTUS shot down the "contempt of Congress" BS by taking the President's case on congressional subpoena's thus making a de facto statement the President was right to bring it to court, as one can one any other subpoena. The abuse of power is not a crime by virtue of a lack of applicable statute and no doubt unconstitutional on its face for being vague, thus null and void. Abuse of power can be anyone's opinion about anything the President does in the course of carrying out his duties.

Giuliani Hints at New Defense: So What If Trump Did It?

Slowly but perceptibly, the Trump administration is moving towards a concrete defense in the president’s Senate impeachment trial: Not that Donald Trump didn’t pressure Ukraine to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden, but that he did — and that there’s nothing wrong with it.

The latest indication of this direction comes from the president’s personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, who in a couple of press interviews has acknowledged his role in advising President Trump to arrange the firing of the U.S. ambassador to Ukraine, Marie Yovanovitch, because Giuliani believed she stood in the way of getting those investigations.

If Trump wanted to focus on the impeachment defense that there was no quid pro quo and that he innocently asked for the investigations in order to fight corruption, then it would be genuinely crazy for his personal lawyer to reveal the specifics of how and what he communicated to the president. Giuliani’s statements are terribly harmful to Trump’s case — and he has now effectively waived attorney-client privilege, so he could be called to testify.

Of course Giuliani could just be crazy, a loose cannon making statements deeply detrimental to one possible line of defense his client might want to use in his Senate trial. But it seems more likely that Giuliani is foreshadowing Trump’s future defense.

To see why Giuliani’s interviews are only sane if Trump is planning a “so what” defense, consider how damaging the revelations are to the alternate defense that Trump was seeking to fight corruption, not achieve personal gain.

Most basically, Giuliani’s narrative shows definitively that Ukraine policy was being driven by Trump’s personal political objectives, not by the national interest. That’s why Giuliani, a man with no U.S. government position — but with a direct, personal attorney-client relationship with the president — was driving the policy. It’s not normal for the president’s personal attorney to advise on the removal of an ambassador — who doesn’t work for the president personally, but for the U.S. government. The very fact of Giuliani’s advice, coupled with its ultimate success, helps prove the case that Trump was abusing his office, using the power of the presidency to advance his personal goals.

Sure, not guilty...



On the eve of his likely impeachment, President Trump on Tuesday sent House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a scathing, insult-filled letter calling the articles drawn up against him “a completely disingenuous, baseless and meritless invention of your imagination,” among other things.

“I write to express my strongest and most powerful protest against the partisan impeachment crusade being pursued by the Democrats in the House of Representatives,” Trump wrote in the six-page letter, salted with at least eight exclamation marks. “This impeachment presents an unprecedented and unconstitutional abuse of power by Democrat Lawmakers, unequaled in nearly two and a half centuries of American legislative history.”

The president claimed that the articles of impeachment advanced by the House Intelligence and Judiciary committees “include no crimes, no misdemeanors, and no offenses whatsoever.”

“You have cheapened the very ugly word, impeachment!” the president declared. “More due process was afforded to those accused in the Salem Witch Trials.”

"I have no doubt the American people will hold you and the Democrats fully responsible in the upcoming 2020 election,” he continued. “They will not soon forgive your perversion of justice and abuse of power."



WOW.. and here you dummies worship him.

The only reason Trump will bounce back is he has the power to scare the entire Republican party and he keeps claiming "executive privilege" which is not found in our Constitution plus he has everyone lying for him.

Separation of powers, study it.
