What Is Your Bar For Impeachment?

How do you impeach someone who is no longer a government official?

The "Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors."

Let's all agree that if a President shoots a man on Fifth Avenue, he should be impeached, even if he committed the crime before he was President.

That's a pretty high crime.


But how low do you go with "Misdemeanors"? Why did our Founders use that word? I'm going to have to dust off some of my books to see if I can rediscover the reasoning behind that one.

The Republican party set the bar really, really low by impeaching a President over a blowjob.

Now, some will simp and say they impeached him over LYING about a blowjob, but come on. Why are you even asking him about a blowjob under oath, for chrissakes.

Everyone knows most of our Presidents screwed around. JFK was notorious, but even long before Kennedy, the private sex lives of Presidents were filled with mistresses. Yet we kept it private. You didn't make political hay out of it. Only if you were "caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl".


I can see how it would be tempting to force Trump to be put under oath and to ask him about Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal and what pussies he might have grabbed. But I personally really don't want us to go there again.

I do think we need to know if our President cheated on his taxes or defrauded investors or defrauded insurance companies. But even that would not be an impeachable offense in my book.

We need to know those kinds of things so we know something about the character of the man, and then we can decide for ourselves whether to vote him out democratically rather than remove him by force.


So for me, in this current climate, the only potential crime I can foresee which would be a high enough bar for me is money laundering.

Ill-gotten gains are acquired through murder and terrorism and human trafficking and other "high crimes", and anyone who plays a part in aiding and abetting those crimes should be forcibly removed from office.

you make a good case that by default no democrat or republican can be POTUS,,,

both parties are no more than terrorist groups

It's good Trump is cleared. It's also good that men of the stature of manafort and stone have been brought to justice. They are as anti American as they come.

I don't know if I can make a definitive bar, but I think only serious crimes or abuses of power should be considered for impeachment. There are obvious crimes such as rape or murder. Treason is another obvious one. Bribery, secret use of the military in ways not authorized by the Constitution or law, extreme levels of incompetence (not merely differences of opinion about what is the best policy), things of that nature. Getting a blowjob? No. Having paid off a porn star to be quiet about a sexual encounter? No. Either of those could be elevated to an impeachable offense with the right circumstances, however: forcing the intern to give the blowjob, rather than something consensual; using government funds to pay off the porn star.

I agree that impeachment should have a pretty high bar, and I don't like the way people seem to turn to the idea of it so quickly in recent times as a way to fight their political rivals.

Why aren't democrats concerned with the overreach and abuse power committed by the FBI/DOJ in spying on US citizens without cause? Democrats whinnied over terrorist being waterboarded, but they have no issue with the government recording and unmasking communications of US citizens for political reasons?

Democrats would be smart and do their job in holding the FBI/DOJ accountable for the clear abuse that happened during the Obama administration, because if you try and go after impeachment you will loss. And you might want to keep in mind TRUMP is completely find with playing by the standards set by democrats and that will include the standards of using a corrupt FBI/DOJ.

Putting Russia’s interests ahead of the interest of United States while being commander in chief.

What are "Russian Interests" and how did President Trump put them ahead of American interests? This is where Liberals cut and run, they throw out flowery high sounding phrases and then vanish when ask to provide specifics.

Money laundering, Ill-gotten gains acquired through murder and terrorism and human trafficking, and aiding and abetting??

Please provide evidence that Donald Trump did any of those?

Oh, wait. You were referring to Hillary Clinton, right? Sorry. She's not the President.

Absolutely. The FBI/DOJ has been corrupted into a shadowy Secret Police force for the Left. Any surprise why the Fentanyl just keeps pouring into the country killing 60,000 citizens per year? The FBI is too busy turning over rocks for the DEMS and looking for NCAA recruiting violations for God's sake.

Wrong. It is not necessarily illegal to shoot someone on 5th Avenue. For example, if some deranged TDS suffering idiot tried to assassinate Trump outside of Trump Tower, it would be perfectly legal for him to pull out his concealed Smith & Wesson .38 Special or Heckler & Koch .45 and shoot them in the middle of 5th Avenue.

Staging a coup lead by Intelligence Agencies falsely swearing out a FISA warrant against a Presidential candidate

 

[TNHarley]

I think the investigating him just to be investigating him is bullshit.
I fully support govt accountability. If he gets found doing something ok. Impeach him.
If this BAR is now set for presidents, lets do it. Lets fully investigate other presidents too. Even past presidents. Im fucking game.
But like i said, this is nothing more than cry baby bitches being cry baby bitches.
Criminal govt officials, including the president, is nothing new. They break the law all the fucking time, while being president, and subverting our rule of law.
Money laundering is a high crime in my book.
If there is actual proof of him breaking the emoluments clause, im game too.
But people staying in his hotel is a bunch of bullshit.

Not to mention how vulnerable that would leave such a person to being manipulated by those he "did business" with.

My bar would include corruption and abuse of power
