Of course it is all political play. Just a short while ago she was saying that it was wrong to have an impeachment when you knew there would be no conviction.
That has not changed.
Oh, you haven’t heard? Nothing Trump does can be considered a crime because he is President. You also can’t impeach him though, because that is voter suppression.
He’s basically God.

The new term is “get over it”…
Does it achieve something to pretend this is what others are saying?
The impeachment is constitutional… get over it
Asking a foreign country to investigate corruption is constitutional…get over it. Also, your statement kind of had nothing to do with the post to which it was attached.
And soon we will find out if it’s impeachable…
When the request is to investigate a political opponent and the release of financial aid is contingent on that request being carried out, then maybe not so constitutional.

Not for quid pro quo political purposes.
Impeachment suppresses the will of the voters as much as the Electoral College victory of the minority vote getter.

No one is arguing that Trump’s actions are unconstitutional. We’re not even arguing that anything he did broke any laws.
But there’s a real argument to be made that he has committed high crimes and misdemeanors.

Then basically investigating hillary so close to the election was wrong right?
Sigh.
I wish some people paid more attention in high school Civics class. Clearly there is a major misunderstanding of how we handle both criminal allegations and elections in this nation.
Democrats are saying that encouraging foreign governments to investigate possible corruption is a high crime. By that logic those who voted for the recent bill that imposes sanctions until Russia cooperates on investigating alleged election interference should resign immediately.
Given this context, it is clear that Trump’s real “crime” is that he took office as the result of free and fair elections.

You’re not understanding.
The difference is in the intent.
The actions Trump took are not high crimes in themselves - but why he took those actions could be.

No, impeachment has nothing to do with suppressing anyone’s vote. Impeachment is due to the behavior/actions of the President.
Why not let the investigators finish their job. Let the chips fall where they will and go from there. Hes hardly been transparent. Hes refused congress to let them do their job if oversight and not cooperated at all. This is their means to force his hand.
The Constitution.
Next!

Exactly. The only “corruption” Trump cares about is whatever can be thrown at Joe Biden. It’s astonishing the cartwheels Trumpers will turn to avoid acknowledging that.
What a weak attempt at whataboutism from Breitbart.
The nature of law is to establish contingencies – if you behave this way the following will follow. Congress passes laws openly that make such contingencies clear.
In Trump’s case, the quid pro quo was buried an an extremely secure server so no one would know about Trump’s self dealing.
How anyone can see the two as equivalent defies comprehension.
