Rules of Engagement: Impeaching the President
A Microscopic view of What this is all about
1. The House appointed a key committee that included Democrats only in a secret meeting room in the basement of Congress. Is this the proper way to begin a bipartisan impeachment? No Republicans were allowed to weigh in on the charges to be taken against the President. The doors were locked and they were not permitted in when they came to the secret room.
This committee recommended Trump be impeached for obstruction of justice and abuse of power.
Although impeachment rules are that the president must be found guilty of bribery, treason or some other HIGH crime or misdemeanor. Bribery and treason are particular crimes while the phrase HIGH crime or misdemeanor seems to be a catch all phrase to act as what the House would want that particular crime or particular High misdemeanor to be.
