The First Trump Impeachment Thread


Recommended Posts

"Even if the high court were eventually to rule against the claims by President Trump, the fact that the justices decided to hear them, in effect, supports his constitutional contention that he had the right to challenge congressional subpoenas in court, or to demand that those issuing the subpoenas seek to enforce them through court.

It undercuts the contention by House Democrats that President Trump committed an impeachable offense by insisting on a court order before sending possibly privileged material to Congress. Even before the justices granted review of these cases, the two articles of impeachment had no basis in the Constitution. They were a reflection of the comparative voting power of the two parties, precisely what one of the founders, Alexander Hamilton, warned would be the "greatest danger" of an impeachment."

It was voted on and passed by Congress. He had to give it to them, so might as well get something out of it.

This is what I've been saying since the beginning. For someone who claims he is innocent, he is acting like a guilty person

This is a new one. The desperation the Republicans are showing to come up with excuses for Trump's behavior are astounding.

The bad-faith rationalizations are just lazy at this point.
