I still oppose removal of Trump at this point, but clearly witnesses are needed and will be allowed to testify.
(Note: As before, my opposition to impeachment is that while he is clearly guilty of the offense charged in Article I, that offense rises to peccadilloes in my mind, not high crimes and misdemeanors.)
I largely agree with you except I don’t thing the word “guilty” applies. Assuming he did everything alleged, its more like a bad policy that should be condemned politically than anything that brings our an impeachment process.
I’m disappointed in this for one reason; Schiff led the decision to impeach on “overwhelming evidence”. Then present that evidence that was so convincing to you, to take the once a century move of impeaching the POSTUS!!!
I’d like to know what should now happen to those in the House that led this charge, should it fail to the extent negative ramifications are warranted?
I kind of think the dems jumped the gun on impeaching him over this - impeachment over the revelations in the Mueller report would have had much more teeth, in my opinion.
That being said, we all know Trump’s not going to be removed by the Senate. I would, however, like to see the witnesses testify so that all is exposed. Voters need all this information as we are going to the polls in November. It is much better for all concerned if voters give Trump his eviction notice.
An impeachment is NOT the way to achieve your goal. The price paid for the reward does not warrant it, if…you’re sane? If…you’re going to impeach…it should be for a reason you “want him removed”.
I didn’t think repugs would be this stupid if they did.
they should be doing hearing on FBI, CIA, NSA and CoJ and Obama administration abuse of those agencies. Instead they’re allowing themselves to get played.
Hmmm the real question is if the GOP mutineers (Romney, Collins et al) will vote reciprocally to allow “Republican witnesses” such as Hunter, Biden, the whistleblower etc.
I still think those picks would backfire on the GOP if they actually did it and would make Hunter a more sympathetic character who was caught up in Trump’s crazy “drug deal.”
But hey- as a political junkie, I’m kinda all for it. Bring the circus!
