Memo for DEMS: Impeach Trump Win, Lose, or Draw for Honor, Country's Sake, and Justice

Absolute Basis for Article I of Impeachment

(Dozens of Examples to Present)

By way of background (as if we needed more historical proof).

This follows Mueller’s 9-minute remarks, wherein Trump had this to say  about impeachment that is growing among many Democrats:

“It's a dirty word. They're possibly allowed, although I can't imagine the courts allowing it. I've never gone into it. I never thought that would even be possible to be using that word. To me, it's a dirty word — the word impeach. It's a dirty, filthy, disgusting word.”

FYI for Trump: The courts could not prevent impeachment that is a matter handled solely by Congress. The House holds the power to impeach the president, and the Senate determines whether or not to convict.

Yep, it is but it’s the only way to remove a lying, corrupt, law-breaking dangerous president from office. So, says the Constitution – the book you swore “to preserve, protect, and defend.”

Yeah, the set or rules and law of the land.

From Mueller's report, which Trump discards is in this lengthy Fact Check article, and here related from Newsweek. Below are key parts below about Trump saying that Mueller totally cleared him:

On Collusion: In his remarks at the DOJ Mueller spoke for the first time about his two-year investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016  presidential election.

Mueller reiterated that Russia had engaged in “multiple, systematic efforts to damage Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.” 

Mueller than added: “There was insufficient evidence to charge a broader conspiracy between the Russia government and any individuals associated with the Trump campaign.”

Mueller concluded saying:  “The central allegation against the Russians deserves the attention of every American.”

On the issue of obstruction of justice: Mueller’s report, which was released in redacted form on April 18 found: “... multiple acts by the President that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations, including the Russian-interference and obstruction investigations.”

Key aspect that Mueller had to follow and rightly so: He said he could not make a “traditional prosecutorial judgment,” because the DOJ's Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) has a longstanding opinion that states an “indictment or criminal prosecution of a sitting President would be unconstitutional.” 

Mueller concluded: “Because we determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment, we did not draw ultimate conclusions about the President’s conduct. The evidence we obtained about the President’s actions and intent presents difficult issues that would need to be resolved if we were making a traditional prosecutorial judgment. At the same time, if we had confidence after a thorough investigation of the facts that the President clearly did not commit obstruction of justice, we would so state.”

My 2 cents: Bingo on that part, DEMS – got it now, okay, then act on that ASAP. 

Then let the McConnell GOP show the people that they probably will not remove Trump out of fear of his wrath and blind loyalty to him not the public. 

“We the People” will then know better that the onus for failure to remove falls on the GOP-led Senate. Then we will remove them from office via the ballot box for sure.

So, do your sworn duty DEMS, impeach Trump and honor your oath of office to the people, but most important to serve justice not to any blind loyalty to Trump like the Republicans show.

Thanks for stopping by.
