How many articles of impeachment could the House bring? Felony campaign finance misdeeds? Cohen went to prison for them, Trump is an 'unindicted co-conspirator.' The only reason Mueller didn't charge him was because of the opinion of the Justice Dept that a sitting president can't be indicted. Tax evasion? There's a fair amount of indications of that. Money laundering? Again, strong indications of that. Fraud? Trump U settled the lawsuit, several states were pursuing charges until Trump bribed the state's Attorneys General. Bribery? See above. Sexual assault? Lots of accusations. Gotta wonder what info about Trump was in Epstein's safe. The list could be pretty long. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly thought it was because Trump was either bored or the Iranian had said something mean about Trump on social media over Christmas, but I don’t think that at any point did anyone with half a clue ever think it might have been for anything near a legitimate reason.

So far, even the moderate Republicans have almost exclusively shown themselves willing to put party before principle when it comes to Trump. The chances that the kind of hard-liners who would be gunning for Suleimani would ever consider siding with the Dems to remove an R president from office are as close to zero as its possible to get. In fact the way they've handled the situation is one of the few things recently that's bought any criticism of him from within the party. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The most basic is that what you say you are quoting is three sentences. What you wrote and are claiming is a quote from me is only ONE sentence.
