The second impeachment should be expunged, if for no other reason, because due process was denied to Former President Trump. It was based on emotions, not anything like the conclusion of an investigation, for example. The second impeachment made a mockery of the impeachment process.

The 1st was based solely on what the dems THOUGHT he meant. Even though the person on the other end of the call does NOT agree with the dems "interpretation".

How does this work? I get it how works for some who would get a background check for a job since that person is not known to anyone and the background check is all the evidence anything exist but what purpose would this serve for a former President running for office again?

Are they going to erase it from our Memory? Will it be erased from the books written already? Erased from history books?

I guess I don't see the purpose since you cannot change what we all know nor does it effect Trump's ability to run for office again. What exactly is the utility in doing it?

That's exactly what I'm asking. What's the goal here?

I'm a little afraid of the answer. Maybe it IS supposed to be an expunction, and thus, anyone who reports it (as in a text book) or discusses it will be charged with a crime? Or sued?

I can't think of any other reason to expunge his impeachment, except to silence this information in the future.

I agree. Both impeachments were ridiculous.

It's sad how they still bend the knee for Trump. You can't erase history.
Try as they might, Republicans cannot unring a bell.

I can't see where any Republican planning to actually legislate this, or any poster on this forum has said what that will mean.

I guess because they don't know/hadn't thought it though/don't understand what expunction means.

It does appear, though, that McCarthy has no actual plans to move forward with this, he's just creating the Family Feud-like optic of saying good answer good answer to an obviously terrible guess.

Some of us don't want to unring the bell... the two failed attempts to remove Trump from office reflect badly on Democrats, not Trump.

The impeachments were based on lies and were purely politically based.

I don't think they should be expunged from the records but they should be held up as an example of how low the Democrats are willing to go in attacking a political opponent.



We can never forget what they did to Trump over what they told us he was Thinking and what they conveniently ignore when it comes to actually deeds that Biden is guilty of.

Historically corrupt charges brought by the corrupt for solely political reasons and they were all aware that they were false charges while pursuing them.


They ought to vacate their Offices as if they "never happened".
