You would have to show me the alleged impeachment posts, because all I recall were several reasons not to impeach him, which I listed a few posts above up there. Here they are again:

1) President Pence
2) Impeaching Clinton back-fired on his detractors and brought Clinton sympathy
3) Let the voters decide if trump gets a second term, more than likely he will not
4} Impeachment would be a divisive hardship on the country


I don't have to show you anything. Don't be lazy, do it yourself Smile

I couldn't find any pro-impeachment posts, but if you go to the middle of page 109 of this thread you can see posts from trump detractors who think impeachment is a bad idea for several reasons.


Do Advanced Search and select a one year period. I'm sure you'll find a couple 

Nope, nothing there.

 And if it is treason, it is possible Mueller, however unlikely, has in fact already informed the Justice Dept.
If it's treason and the DOJ has been informed why would they keep it secret? President of the United States is a traitor, the Attorney General is aware of it and keeps quiet? Be serious. Trump is an arrogant jackass who probably is guilty of something like illegal hush paments or something, but treason....   

I have no idea what trump may be accused of if anything, but lets suppose a case was being made for treason.
This is not going be made public to us or the media until the case against him is airtight, that's how law enforcement is supposed to work. Ideally they are not supposed to be revealing everything they are looking at until they are ready to make a decisive move.

I don't want to repeat myself. Just re-read the above. I wasn't talking about due process 





I re-read your post and you say why would the AG "keep quiet". Because hopefully they are professional law enforcement officials and they don't broadcast the details of a case they are working on until they are certain they are ready to move ahead.

OK

I think that it doesn’t matter at all if the AG comes forward with any proof or not. Fact ist that with the
democrats taking over the house the next few days, either Trump or Jesus-Boy are going to be checked
at every point, and that’s the important thing.

Impeachment or not, who cares? As long as all those gruesome policies can be stopped, it just doesn’t
matter.

Everything Mueller comes up with from this point onwards can just be considered an added bonus.
Mueller’s conclusions have become irrelevant, at least considered from the viewpoint of what’s good for
the US.

^This.........
The fact that the public actually voted this doofus in is simply mind boggling....it shows imho just how fed up the public is with politics in Washington that they would let someone like that be in charge.
btw, I'm not a Trump 'hater'..but this guy has far too many 'issues' to be the POTUS.

I support impeachment although the likelihood of Senate removal isn't.  Then let's remove Trumphole and Penice and the whole rotten regime in 2020...

The least of Trump's problems are political now..  he is facing the very real possibility of being charged and tried for crimes once he is out of office. 


By the time the Democratic House pries out of the Justice Department what they Mueller did report (remember the report goes directly to the AG, who will be a Trump stooge, and is not public domain especialy with all the nat. security implications Mueller is likely to get into) quite frankly it will too late for any political games with impeachment with an election campaign now about about a year away..... but any details of wrongdoing.. or worse.. any further additional beyond what we know already hinting as we got from the Cohen info... that Trump himself is going to be indicted once he is out of office will again likely be the final nails in any chance he has to win reelection.

Hm. With the right people now in place, we might be seeing weird things happening to the Statutes of Limitations.

Silvio Berlusconi for instance was a wizard at that sort of thing.

^ the statue of limiitations will never come into play here.  IIRC correctly it is 5 years and Trump will be indicted long before that ever approaches. Even winning a 2nd term won't save him, Mueller already has scores of sealed indictments in Federal Courts. They can remain sealed for years if need be and for a special case like a sitting President.

 Who knows perhaps some of them have Trump's name already on them for the Conspiracy and the highly likely one of perjury, coming out of what the Fed's nailed Cohen for.  However while that is enough to put him in jail the more serious charges are likely still being investigated. No one, outside of those with heads in their sand, doesn't think Trump has committed obstruction of justice and collusion with a (hostile) foreign power. Proving those though.. will be tough.. even for the pro's at the Justice Department.  Again no statue of limitation on that is plausible man...

Does freedom of expression have any value on this forum? or it's up to the admin to decide? What's wrong with the picture?

I appreciate your careful choice of words but doesn't 'collusion with a (hostile) foreign power' equate to treason? 

And lots of people thought Clinton was up to his neck in Whitewater, so what?

It's very obviously up to the admin's to decide, as it always has been and it always will be. Everything is up to the decision of the moderators and it will always will subjective up to a degree and up for us to edit or warn even if I don't see malice in it like in this case. I removed it cause it partially contained a photograph of an anus.

Not partial, it was full frontal and in close up; a very clean one that seems to have been well washed and hygienic. Tasteful and artistic, and I never want to see that again. Ever. Thank you to the admin.
