You have any idea how long it would take to get the lawsuits through the court? McGhan’s lawsuit has a single ruling in district court and that was like 8 months ago. This will take years and I have little doubt they will be taking these to court now. Nothing was lost by going an alternative route.
The Senate should have called witnesses during the trial. The House can’t do that. They weren’t asking the Senate to do their job for them. They were asking the Senate to do the job the Constitution gives them.
The Senate did do their job. This was a bogus impeachment that had no supporting evidence to their claim. In spite of that, they impeached the President anyway. Could you imagine if this happened outside of government in a court of law; somebody going to prison because another person thought they were going to rob a bank? It's unheard of.
There is nothing more to add to this impeachment. The Senators found the impeachment to be phony, and with that, Trump is not guilty of anything.
No supporting evidence? Then why is the Trump team legal argument now “it doesn’t matter if the allegations are true”.
Ever hear of a trial where no witnesses could be called? It’s an appealing farce of justice.
Let me clarify for the English-impaired: there's no supporting evidence that Trump did anything impeachable, and since the allegations aren't about impeachable offenses, it doesn't matter if they're true or not.
And yes, I have heard of courts dismissing charges because the prosecution doesn't have a sufficient case. But one rarely hears of a prosecution doing such a shit job of preparing a case before bringing charges. That IS a pretty appalling farce of justice with the "impeachment".
Who the hell told you what counts as an Impeachable offense? Sending the government after your political enemies is no longer impeachable? Sounds like you’re just legalized corruption.
If Trump did what he’s doing in a criminal case (obstructing) he’d have been put in jail long ago.
Who told me? That would be the Constitution. Admittedly, it requires the ability to read and understand words, so I can see where you would be disqualified.
If you want to impeach him for "sending the government after your political enemies", that brings us back to the whole "you have to prove it, and you haven't" concept. Also, you're going to have to explain to me why you weren't screaming to impeach former President Obama for his use of the IRS in that very fashion. Or for spying on Trump's campaign, for that matter.
And I hate to break it to you, but "obstructing Congress" not only is not a crime for him OR an impeachable offense, it's practically part of his job description. Look up "separation of powers", you know-nothing, partisan, Trump-deranged hack.
