Indraman Posted January 5, 2020 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2020 A wise man once said, "If a tree falls in a forest and no one is there to hear it fall, did it make a noise?" How about, "If the House passes Articles Of Impeachment, but never sends the Articles Of Impeachment to the Senate for trial, was the POTUS actually Impeached?"

A Law Professor’s Provocative Argument: Trump Has Not Yet Been Impeached Other legal academics took issue with his view that impeachment only happens when the House transmits its charges to the Senate. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shabibilicious Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Let Mulvaney, Bolton, Pompeo and the rest of Trump's handlers testify to exonerate him and end this fiasco once and for all......I'm stunned he's not demanding they testify on his behalf, in fact. Innocent men have nothing to hide. Easy peasy. GO RV, then BV 3 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yota691 Posted January 6, 2020 Report Share Posted January 6, 2020 Thought I share from another site...Don't forget the IRS How many high level officials in the Obama Administration pleaded the 5th ? 3/30/17 at 8:36 pm Loretta Lynch, Jeff Neely, John Beale, John Sepulveda, Diana Rubens, Kimberly Graves, Greg Roseman, Patrick Cunningham and Louis Lerner. Can anyone else remember more? eric holder was held in contempt... Melt Obamas claim of executive privilege prevented Holder from taking the 5th. He settled for contempt of Congress. 3 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GO RV, then BV What you say here is true.....and why the impeachment process is flawed....Congress has tainted the Trump Presidency forever.....as well as themselves......on a purely partisan effort......Pelosi will have done real damage to the World of Women's leadership in Government....... The 2 articles do not meet the constitutional standard for impeachment.....Schiffs own report.....page 59.....will clear Trump of any wrong doing on article 1.......and of course article 2 is based on article 1. Pelosi's whole approach on this has been mind boggling.... Seems this will disrupt the entire primary cycle....keeping Senators.......basically sequestered juriors......from campaigning........of course Biden may benefit with socialists Warren and Sanders out of the mix.....but then who knows.....perhaps that was the plan all along by waiting 5 weeks to deliver the 2 articles to the Senate.... I do hope witnesses come into play........regarding Ukraine the Bidens, Kerry's and Pelosi's have a great more to fear than Trump........once that can of worms gets opened.

The Constitution limits grounds of impeachment to "Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors". of these 4 offenses.....looking at the 2 articles Pelosi settled on.......which of these 4 ......do the 2 Articles fall under?
