I am really concerned about the precedent this impeachment is setting.
It is along strict party lines. Very weak charges. No high crimes or misdemeanors.
To me it is not a legitimate impeachment but a Democrat Dirty Tricks Operation.
Is this going to be the precedent every time one party is in control of the House and another Party holds the Presidency?
Democrats should be just as concerned as Republicans because it could happen to them next. For instance, the Republican Congress could have impeached Obama over him abusing his power by using the IRS to disenfranchise his political rivals.
Okay, did you miss the whole 1999 Impeachment of Bill Clinton, which was over a personal matter, on a party line vote, very weak charges, and no high crimes or misdemeanors?
Congress couldn't have impeached Obama because 1) There was no evidence he knew what Lois Lerner was doing and 2) Lerner was within the letter of the law.
