People are fucking idiots. Some of them live in such a delusional world they truly believe impeach means to remove. Cocaine Mitch hasn't even gotten hold of this charade yet. When he does this is going to be glorious.
I recall that someone we both know at one time thought impeachment meant removal.
and I didn't even see too much about how this plays out down the road.
You will have to refresh my memory.
Sometime back impeachment was being discussed and the account of the Clinton Impeachment was raised. There was a response from someone that said Clinton wasn’t impeached he finished his term or something to that effect. That’s what I remember from a certain party. :)
My memory is terrible so it is no big surprise that I don't remember that. Impeachment doesn't really mean anything without a Senate trial and conviction.
Right and even then it doesn’t necessarily remove the President from office. Clinton was adhjucated through Congress and impeached but retained office. As you indicated, Impeachment to remove requires a trial. Clinton’s impeachment had no trial
It's very possible. I think they were kinda damned if they do, damned if they don't. They painted him into something he wasn't, and once their lies about Russia and collusion were all exposed as that, lies, and the economy remained strong, Trump's position as an incumbent made him the favorite for re-election.
The crappy part is that all of those lunatics are still in office.
Yes but in a different way. Clinton was actually railroaded because it all started with one allegation known as Whitewater which was a financial transaction that was supposed to be irregular but actually wasn’t.. I can say that with some authority because I am fully briefed on this matter. It all morphed to the Monica Lewinsky matter but came down to lying under oath and that is what nailed him because it was a criminal matter. The difference in the proceedings is that Clinton’s matter was handled by a Special Proscuetor as opposed to Trump being done as a Congressional matter.
