Impeachment Behind Closed Doors

[NightHawkeye]

Was it treason back when Clinton was impeached?

Is there an echo here?

See post #95.

 

[Hank77]

Yep

The Chairman of the committee has the authority to issue subpoenas after consulting with the ranking minority member or by vote by the whole committee.

Yes and yes.

Do you really want all of that politicization of questioning? Put a TV camera in front of this and little gets done.


Republicans can release the facts of the hearing just as Democrats can. That little is coming out only shows Republicans have nothing good to talk about.

And yet, you still haven't answered the question which was directed at you.

Post 95 was your non answer, but instead a deflection.

What is your answer "yes" or "no" whether the impeachment of Clinton was treason?

Evidence indicated that Bill Clinton was guilty of a crime.

I’ll be sure and ask when I see them.

For now, could you give me a straight answer?

Evidence indicated that Bill Clinton was guilty of a crime.

And of course the Chosen One could never be guilty of any crime.

 

[GoldenBoy89]

What crime was that?

 

[stevil]

I crime worthy of removing the elected sitting president from office?
Had he become a danger to USA?

 

[NightHawkeye]

Incorrect. His accusers have failed to find evidence of such though ... despite millions upon millions of dollars devoted to the cause.

What crime was that?

William Jefferson Clinton was obviously guilty of perjury. He lied to the nation and lied under oath as well.

You might recall that the current impeachment effort has convicted people of less perjury ... who are now in jail.

Why don’t we put Donald John Trump under oath and see how well he does?

 

[wing2000]

Generally, treason does not result in government overthrow.

Failure, though, hardly makes seditious acts less treasonous.

ewww. Sedition and treason in one post! Scary stuff!

 

[stevil]

Evidence indicated that Bill Clinton was guilty of a crime.

He committed purjory didn't he? He lied when asked about his affair with an intern.

But the question wasn't about whether Clinton commited a crime, the question was whether the Republicans committed treason by impeaching this elected President.
So "yes" or "no", was it treason?

I didn't know that so many committees had to investigate. Just getting started.

From my understanding of what I have read is that all the listed House committees, except the Judiciary, are all in the same 'behind closed doors' meetings that are happening now. There are 3 Judiciary committee members, 2 Dems and 1 Rep., there as well but only as observers. When they are done they will turn over their evidence to the full Judiciary committee to draw up the articles.

The Special Council report documents 11 counts of potential obstruction of justice.

Michael Cohen is in jail for Campaign Finance violations at the direction of Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is currently under investigation by Congress for asking/coercing the Ukrainian President to meddle in the 2020 USA presidential election. The evidence is Trump's public confession, the phone call notes, the whistle blower's account and now Mick Mulvany's public statement.

There are also other ongoing investigations regarding emoluments violations and more...
Of which there is much evidence e.g. the forthcoming G7 summit, the Pence stay in Ireland, the Barr $30K Christmas bash, the Army diversion to Trump's golf resort, etc

Trump't transgressions if true, are a risk to USA because he is circumventing the democratic election process, he is exhorting alies, and hurting USA's reputation and standing in the world. He is "stealing" tax payer's money to fill his bank account, he is accepting "bribes" from foreign nationals, from Republicans, from lobbyists.

William Jefferson Clinton was obviously guilty of perjury. He lied to the nation and lied under oath as well.

Bill Clinton lied about an affair, which really has no impact on USA with regards to national security, corruption or misappropriation of taxes or funds.

Trump lies all the time to the public and the media, about pretty much everything.

The same can be said of the non-impeaching impeachment shenanigans currently underway. Democrats simply don't have any real charges against the president ... despite having looked far and wide. All Democrats seem to have is a news media willing to say anything bad against the president which can be made up ... and then never correct the story when it's later shown to be without merit.

He is "stealing" tax payer's money to fill his bank account, he is accepting "bribes" from foreign nationals, from Republicans, from lobbyists.

Oh please!

Might I suggest that expanding one's news sources will dispel you of such myths.
