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.
Is this really the way we want to run this country?
If we were discussing the impeachment of Bill Clinton, your post would have validity. Clinton was not impeached for any abuses of office, but for telling a lie in a civil trial. Nothing he did impacted the safety or security of the country.
But calling Trump’s impeachment “weak” I’d utterly false. This is the strongest impeachment in history and for the most serious charges ever. There is a ton of evidence and the harm to national security and your elections is measurable. What Trump did is worse than Nixon, and the case against Trump is stronger.
There is a ton of evidence and the harm to national security and your elections is measurable.
Can you explain your "harm to national security" claim?
Then explain the ton of evidence. No one has yet shown any proof of "intent", there could have been other legit reasons for withholding the aid to Ukraine.
"Intent". LOL! That reminds of the excuse the filthy Obama Administration used to let Crooked Hillary off the hook for her crimes.
