In a sentence passed after a Senate Trial, presided over by the VPOTUS. Fat Jerry isn't even in the Senate!
no he is not. but the judiciary in the house brings the articles impeachment forth & the senate has the trial.... he wasts it televised & shown to the public, so the senate will have no choice. just like with nixon.
Nixon wasn't impeached and Fat Jerry isn't holding an impeachment hearing.
nixon wasn't impeached because he resigned. barry goldwater was the messenger for the (R)s & told nixon he had no chance of survival.
Your reference to Watergate is an interesting one.
The
Watergate scandal was kicked off by a break-in by five men at the
Democratic National Committee (DNC) headquarters at the
Watergate office complex in
Washington, D.C. on June 17, 1972.
The GOP Administration had engaged in an array of clandestine and often illegal activities, including illegal spying on the offices of political opponents and people of whom Nixon or his officials were suspicious. Nixon and his close aides also ordered investigations of activist groups and political figures, using the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the
Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as political weapons.
Here is the difference: After engaging in these illegal activities, the GOP WON the upcoming election. In the current case, after the Democrats engaged in these illegal activities, they LOST the upcoming election.
As such, it won't be Congress this time getting to the bottom of the scandal(s) but the DOJ, as would have occurred had McGovern won the election.
I appreciate you bringing this to our attention, we will now have an opportunity to see how history would have been different had McGovern won the election despite the illegal spying and crimes committed against his campaign.
I'm pretty sure that a number of underlings are going to face indictment, how high will it go? At least to McCabe, probably Comey, he leaked classified information to get Mueller appointed and signed several of the illegal Page warrants. He did a lot more, but I suspect that he probably covered his tracks well. Crapper and Brennan? Depends on how well they covered up their activities. Lynch and Rice? I bet no black women are indicted. Samantha Powers? If they can show that she lied about all the unmaskings that occurred under her log in, I'd say she is toast. Rosenstein and Yates both signed off on the illegal Page warrants.
We live in interesting times.
