At least with Bill Clinton, everybody clearly understood what he did that might lead people to consider impeaching him. The facts were never in dispute.
With Trump, it goes from quid pro quo to bribery to extortion and back to quid pro quo and then abuse of power and obstruction of God knows what. They can’t even decide what Trump did.
"At least with Bill Clinton, everybody clearly understood what he did that might lead people to consider impeaching him. The facts were never in dispute." BS, the dems supported him 100% until the dress was found.
Even AFTER the dress was found and it was PROVEN he lied on national TV to the American people, "I did NOT have sexual realtions.....",the dems STILL supported him which is why the dems controlled Senate did NOT vote to impeach.
The charges:
Obstruction of Congress?
Abuse of Power?
These are impeachable offenses in the minds of Nader and Schiff? Lol
The Constitution calls for an adversarial relationship between the Executive and Legislative branches. It’s part of the scheme for a President to “obstruct” Congress. An obstruction claim based on a single incident is just whiny politics unless they can point to an ongoing pattern of behavior. Presidents have a wide latitude to administer their office. Look at Lincoln, Wilson, FDR for evidence and examples of power plays. Claiming abuse of power is a stretch, AFAIK Trump hasn’t imprisoned any members of Congress.
This is all just posturing, it will go nowhere with the voting public who have already looked past the charade.
"Claiming abuse of power is a stretch," especially when the party who was supposed to have been the victim, the Ukraine's OWN PRESIDENT DENIES any such thing went on.
Any attempt to connect the impeachment to the IG Report is a complete non sequitur. They are unrelated. The IG Report clears the FBI of bias in any investigations of Trump. There were some procedural errors but to impugn a federal agency based on the President's accusations have been found to be completely inappropriate.
The impeachment is based on a whole new set of transgressions on the part of the President. He will go on trial, and it wont be Moscow Mitch presiding. It will be the chief justice of the Supreme Court. If you think that Roberts is going to go down in history as one of the destroyers of our democracy you may be wrong.
And please stop getting your facts from Fox News. They only cast doubt on the truth by asking biased questions.

If you're not prepared to provide documentation of your claims, your statements can be disregarded.
the so-called articles of impeachment...are the democrats white flag...they KNOW THEY HAVE NOTHING
what's worse, is the democrats have just set a precedent, that allows ANY OPPOSING CONGRESS to impeach a POTUS, just because they disagree with him...… the democrats are destroying this country
This post of yours indicates to the rest of us that you have absolutely no clue as to what Trump has done nor why it is dangerous.
Surely the problem with the poster and a lot of other people on here is they do not regard any of Trump's wrongdoings as adequate grounds for impeachment.
"We don't have any actual evidence that he was a horse thief......but we're still gonna hang him for resisting our attempt to charge him with being a horse thief".
Which is a total misreading of the current situation regarding Trump's actions.
It's what you wish to think, but it has no basis in reality.

Really?
What crime has Trump been charged with?
