Is the impeachment investigation illegitimate, unconstitutional and unfair? Nope

Postby planosteve » Thu Oct 17, 2019 8:55 am

Last week, the White House legal counsel wrote to congressional leaders stating President Donald Trump’s legal views of the impeachment investigation now being conducted by the House of Representatives. The essence of Pat Cipollone’s letter argued that the impeachment investigation is illegitimate, unconstitutional and unfair.
The illegitimacy argument contended that since the House has yet to vote to authorize an investigation of the president, its committees lack subpoena power. The unconstitutional argument offered that since impeachment seeks to overturn a valid election, it is a thinly veiled coup and thus is in violation of the Constitution. And his unfairness argument states that the president is entitled to due process at every stage of the impeachment proceedings.
These are valid political arguments. But as legal offerings, they are profoundly misguided. Here is the backstory.

The President, Vice President and all civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes and Misdemeanors

IMPEACHMENT FOR TREASON--NO, BRIBERY--NO, HIGH CRIMES OR MISDEMEANORE--NO

Whats missing here Hmmmm.

Glad there is nothing else the Congress could be working on.

Name calling, arrogance, incompetence, lack of judgement, etc.

Those things are for the people to decide in a general election. I would put treason, bribery and high crimes and misdemeanors in all caps, but glenn already did that.

I really hope that the American people punish the Democrats next year for their abuse of the political system.
