    LOL, one of the dem professor witnesses just said that if the House does not send the articles to the Senate then there is no impeachment. BTW, Trump is still your President.

    Who did he bribe and why wasn't that one of the articles of impeachment? That would actually be a crime if it had happened.

    I would suggest reading the House Judiciary Report on the topic.

    Bribery was not included in the articles of impeachment.

    "Was Bill Clinton Impeached?
    Bill Clinton was impeached by the House of Representatives but not the Senate, which meant that he remained in office through both of his two terms. In December 1998, the Republican-dominated House of Representatives voted to impeach the president for perjury and obstruction of justice for his actions in the Monica Lewinsky affair."

    Perjury about a BJ? What a low standard you said. As for the other offenses, Trump committed the same, yet you excused him. Sad.

    Dems also set records.

    First to impeach a President for using his right to go before the courts to settle disagreements between the Executive Branch and the Legislative Branch.
    First to impeach a President without fully investigating the issues.
    First to impeach a President along purely partisan lines for it and bi-partisan against it.
    First to impeach a President without an actual crime presented in the articles of impeachment.

    And they achieved this by hating the President from day one.

    The Founders are rolling in their graves. One of the things they warned against was a partisan impeachment.

    Do you just throw fake news out like the MSM and the democrat party when you want something to be true? Newsflash, in law, for something to become fact, a little thing called due process would have to be observed. The dems claimed Trump colluded with Putin too but there was no evidence to support that either. So I think it's safe to say they'd claim anything just to impeach him.

    All liberals always want to talk about hoe Trump is making American look and what this impeachment is doing for china is disqusting.

    The risk is much higher than you think. China is now claiming the American system is broken and what we stand for brings chaos and the CCP way bring stability. This is bad.

    You should tell the Dems, they must have "forgotten" to add those.

    As I said, read the House Judiciary Report.

    The bribery is described as part of the abuse of power charge even if it is not explicitly charged itself.

    DNC lost 2020, they never had a chance with the candidates they peddled but this was the moment they lost it.

    They had one chance this cycle and they didn't run Michelle and now it's too late. Although I would say not running Michelle was a wise move because they will run her in 2024 when she has more of a chance.

    Hilldawg destroyed her chances when she called Tulsi a Russian asset.

    Meanwhile Russia is defending Trump.

    Theres a reason that the United States does not want foreign interference in our domestic elections. Foreign governments have their own agendas.

    And that is why Trump needed to be impeached, because he intentionally invited foreign interference into our election.

    Trump impeached by the House for abuse of power, obstruction of Congress

    Almost. The House still has to send the paperwork to the Senate for trial. When that happens he will be impeached.

    Wasn't bribery the term favored when democrats did a poll to find a publicly accepted term for their charges? they did not use it. There are two specific charges and bribery is not one of them. It doesn't look like Mitch is going to allow them to reopen their investigation in the Senate trial and flesh this thing out. It is going to be swift and based on facts at hand if it ever happens at all.
