    Your guilt has already been determined, this is merely a sentencing hearing. Now what will it be? Impeachment or resignation?

        Its not about whether hes done anything he could be convicted for criminally (though he has).

        My pasta in Crisco, impeachment and removal is exactly about an elected or appointed official violating legal or ethical codes of conduct.

            Clinton’s impeachment was for perjury after he testified that he did not have “sexual relations” with her. The Senate didn’t convict because before he testified he asked the House committee to define terms and they defined “sexual relations” as intercourse, so under the definition they gave he did not lie about it.

      As long as Trump is pres he can pardon any legal persecutions.

      Impeachment will take several months and not start until Jan. The majority leader will block any movement. IIRC he blocked Epstein resolutions and warpowers votes delaying them by months. I can’t picture him allowing Whiskey Leaks being impeached

          Good point. Can Cali charge him with something for deploying Marines to LA against the will of the Governor and Mayor?

            No idea. Probably not since the order was from the Big Fucker, and that is his call to make.

      Yeah. I agree. But I’ll take either one if it gets him out.
