Outcome of impeachment

[evoeth]

Recently four or five Republican senators have strongly criticized Trump. A few hours ago one Republican Senator even volunteered evidence against him.

It's becoming increasingly likely that he will be impeached and even convicted. I think impeachment is a foregone conclusion right now, so here's a pool about what comes after .

As much as I hate to say it, the best is impeachment with him being pardoned. And him going quietly away.

But then this is Trump....

 

[Mountainmanbob]

Impeachment will never happen.

To bad that was not one of the choices in this poll?

M-Bob

He gets convicted, appeals to the Supremes, they confirm the conviction because they’re sick of his crap. Trump resigns and declares victory and buys RT with Saudi loans.

Are you even aware that impeachment only requires majority vote in the house?

Since this is a Christian forum and it should be what everyone is praying for - what about - "A few of the democrats are patriots under all that donkey hair and even with the majority the Democrats in the House fail to get the votes required to impeach the President (or they do) and they continue to make such fools of themselves that the American people put Republicans in the majority in both the House and Senate as Trump is reelected - and two new Supreme Court judges are appointed in the next 5 years and America pleases God with our status as a Christian nation in His eyes and we prosper as never before."

I checked the imaginary box.

I'm an optimist.

But then someone once said, "The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much".

Don’t spoil the surprise.

Trump committed a crime and betrayed America to get back at his enemies. The Christian outcome is justice not turning a blind eye

For the record I think Trump flees the country.

How about a more realistic set of options.

I’ll go for Impeachment fails Democrats lose House, Senate and Presidency

 

[evoeth]

Care to tell us what crime that was and refer us to the statute you are referencing?

P.S.

I just noticed your atheist tag. That explains a lot.

Not that there's a whole lot of difference between most democrats and atheists now days.

Well - Nancy Pelosi has told us that she prays for the President daily. So she may be the exception - NOT.

You're kidding me, right?

Trump withheld military aide to the Ukraine to coerce them to attack his political opponent.

That is a crime.

I don't know about evoeth, but these are the ones listed by legal experts.

This will age well!

What about his passport?

While I expect Trump will be impeached, I am not yet convinced that he will be convicted. I think the country is still too divided for enough Republicans in the Senate to vote for conviction -- they will try to protect their party.

I think the big question is whether it helps Republicans or Democrats in the 2020 elections.

I'm guessing he's had his aides get it ready for him, just in case.

He'll flee to Russia.

I was in that camp until the moment I saw Ron Johnson offer evidence against Trump.

Republican senators are turning on him in week one of the impeachment inquiry. Trump is done. He'll be convicted.

That makes two Senators, that I'm aware of, that have come out against what Trump did. Only about 25 left to go...

I need more evidence of Republicans turning on Trump before I can believe they will actually convict. OTOH, they have been strangely quiet, as a whole, since last week.

The Constitution provides that the House of Representatives can impeach the President for "high crimes and misdemeanors." It is left entirely to their discretion to define high crimes and misdemeanors. There need not be a violation of any statute.
