Now, that the list of crimes for Trump is running to...
- Perjury
- Insurance Fraud
- Tax Evasion
- Campaign Finance Violations
- Charity Fraud
- Obstruction of Justice
- unspecified others still being investigated
...and I'm probably forgetting several from the above list because Trump's crimes seem so numerous that forgetting his crimes is a thing that happens. And we've seen Trump's campaign chairman, and his personal lawyer/fixer/RNC Finance Chairman Michael Cohen going to prison for many and various crimes, several committed in conjunction with and at the instruction of "Individual One"...
Somehow the Republican response has become that those are not enough crimes, or not serious enough crimes, or somesuch, and that you'd have to be crazy to impeach with that kind of list. Somehow I suspect that if Obama had had that list, the Republicans would have tried to impeach him more times by now than they voted against Obamacare (54 times)."I hate him passionately", he's "a demonic force" - Tucker Carlson, in private, on Donald Trump
"Every line of serious work that I have written since 1936 has been written, directly or indirectly, against totalitarianism and for democratic socialism" - George Orwell
"[Capitalism] as it exists today is, in my opinion, the real source of evils. I am convinced there is only one way to eliminate these grave evils, namely through the establishment of a socialist economy" - Albert Einstein

I was asking for crimes that could be supported by actual evidence, not hearsay and rumors and stories by a convicted liar.

This is a hoot...
Yet Mr. Cohen testified that he had no evidence of collusion between Donald Trump and Russia and was never explicitly ordered by Mr. Trump to lie to Congress. Mr. Cohen had inferred, however, that Mr. Trump wanted him to lie. Mr. Cohen’s lies under oath are one of the reasons he is headed to a federal prison.
Why did I lie? Not because I'm a liar, but because I thought my boss WANTED me to!The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Exactly what constitutional right--or even law--do you think was broken when Bill Clinton was asked if he had sexual relationships with Monica Lewinsky?Last edited by Terraceth; 03-02-2019, 12:02 AM.

Originally posted by Tassman View PostClearly you and I have different sources. E.g.: “Extraordinary testimony from Michael Cohen, 'damning series of allegations' against Trump…”
https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/watch/ex...-1449329219620
There were "damning allegations" that Hillary had Seth Rich murdered.
There were even "damning allegations" that Hillary had celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain murdered.
I guess for you that's enough to convict her of being a serial killer.

It's not a good sleight of hand when even someone from the back row can spot it.
