[QUOTE="miamited, post: 74460402, member: 270136"] Hi albion, Why would you limit it to one? As has been pointed out by many, although perhaps not on Fox, which may be your go to station, this is not about assigning criminality so much as it is about impeaching a politician that some feel has overstepped his allowed bounds in dealing with certain issues. Now, has President Trump committed criminal acts? I'm confident that he has and maybe somewhere down the road someone will be able to hold him accountable for those acts. New York state does seem to be making some inroads into that matter. However, an impeachment of a publicly elected official is not so much about finding someone criminally liable. There are a lot of things that an elected official can do, for example issues of moral turpitude, which may not be criminally chargeable, but for which I wouldn't want my children to be exposed to. As I think we have seen with several previous impeachments, no one goes to jail. Richard Nixon did not go to jail. He was not charged as a criminal. Bill Clinton did not go to jail. He was not charged as a criminal. I wonder how much knowledge one has of what impeachment is really all about when their phonograph needle gets stuck in some audio file that keeps repeating 'criminal'. They just don't seem to understand what the Constitution's allowance for impeachment is really all about. hint: it has very little to do with one being a criminal, although being charged with criminal acts is a just cause for impeachment. What criminal acts could Donald Trump be accused of and possibly found guilty? Extortion, financial enrichment by use of his position, obstruction of justice. As far as Donald Trump going to jail, that's going to be up to some larger court. As far as his being removed from office for the dreadful way in which he has handled his job as president, I'm all for that. God bless, In Christ, ted [/QUOTE]
