  • "...it strengthens an article of impeachment based on obstruction of Congress."

    Obstruction of Congress isn't a crime.

      Obstruction of justice is a crime, which btw was one of the articles of impeachment Nixon was charged with in the Watergate impeachment

        Yes, but there's no such thing as "Obstruction of Congress".

          Devine: Impeachment fiasco is a Dem gift to Donald Trump

          Adam Schiff and Nancy Pelosi have managed to pull off a miracle with their impeachment gambit.

          TheyÂ’ve united Republicans around Donald Trump, a feat once thought impossible, and for which the president owes a great deal to SchiffÂ’s dogged Republican counterpart Devin Nunes.

          “There has never been so much unity and spirit in the Republican Party, as there is right now!” trumpeted Trump on Twitter Friday.

          As support for the president edges up nationally and, notably, in the battleground state of Wisconsin, where 94 percent of Republicans oppose impeachment, he has been gifted a remarkable campaign advantage by his opponents.


          Great job, guys!
          Again, what you can't seem to grasp, CP, is that impeachment isn't about politics, with respect to the president, it's about the law, the Constitution, and Congresses responsibility to protect it. Just because you republican/conservatives don't give a hoot about the Constitution, just because "you believe" the politics may not be good for the impeaching party, is not a good reason to shirk that responsibility. Actually, you, like most republican/conservatives have revealed that you only really care about the law, or the Constitution, when it suits you to do so.

            It's ALL about politics Jim. That wasn't what it was intended to be, but it is what it has become.

              This is exactly the kind of thing somebody says who is suffering from advanced TDS.

                Duh! It amounts to the same thing, MM. Impeachment is the criminal court when it comes to the president.

                  Actually, the current phase is more like the Grand Jury. The Senate will be the equivalent of "the criminal court", where Schiff will not be chief prosecutor, judge, jury, media spokesperson, testimony obstructionist, and witness corrector.

                    If that were so, then you'd be the one saying it. No, I say it because you, the republican party, the Trump Administration, have all revealed it to be true. They, i.e. Trump and the republican party, have revealed it in their criminal behavior, and you, the constituents, in your defense of that behavior.

                        Yup, you've got it for sure, CP. Trump seems to have that effect on the naive, unethical, or morally weak aka Trumpsters.

                          Sure, Jim. Whatever you say.

                            Assuming they even can bring articles - they're making retreating noises and moderate Dems are anything but happy with how the 'inquiry' went.

                              EGGzackly - some are saying it's sufficient that the public was made aware that Trump did really bad stuff, and the public will have an opportunity to punish him come next November.

                              Schiff, however, appears to be doubling down and wanting to go full throttle. I don't think he has it in him to throttle back.

                                Then let Congress vote to make the impeachment inquiry official, and let them have a fair hearing that observes the rules of due process.
