Andrew Nepolitano would vote to impeach Trump

Add to the dangling carrot of military aid the promise of a WH meeting with TRE45ON and you got both the quid pro quo and the extortion/bribery. (I used both words here because I'm not sure of the legal definitions.) That's followed by various crimes of obstruction. And WTF do we do about a POTUS using his private attorney to jet around doing State Dept. business but not communicating with State, only answering to POTUS?

Impeach.

YOU are the one calling it 'conjecture'. I know if Rudy went under Oath and told what he knew (a la Michael Cohen) you would change your tune.

No they wouldn't. They'd claim that the formerly-loyal Rudy went rogue, or he "had to testify because they have dirt on his family but he's lying", or Rudy's a double agent, or some other rot.

These Reichwingers aren't patriots. They're cultists.

You can’t my dear, you just aren’t very bright

It was directed at Derth Omar, who may have a brain. (?)

Fox News senior judicial analyst Judge Andrew Napolitano revealed on Wednesday that he would vote to impeach President Donald Trump if he were a member of the House of Representatives.

“You believe the president has committed impeachable offenses?” Fox News host Bill Hemmer asked Napolitano minutes before a House impeachment hearing.

“I believe that the Democrats have credibly argued that he committed impeachable offenses,” Napolitano explained. “The easiest one — it exists in Andrew Johnson, Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton — was obstruction of Congress.”

“By directing his subordinates to refuse to comply with lawfully issued subpoenas,” he continued, “whether it’s for testimony or for documents, that’s an impeachable offense. We know that from history. Every time the House has looked at that with respect to the president, they have found that to be impeachable.”

“On that, reasonable minds cannot disagree,” Napolitano added, “without rejecting history and without rejecting constitutional norms.”
“If you were in the House, would you vote for impeachment?” Hemmer wondered.

“I certainly would,” Napolitano replied. “I would on that count.”

Watch the video below from Fox News.

Napolitano is another moron who doesn't know the Constitution.

Executive Privilege trumps morons in the House trying to pull of a HOAX. The Constitution; READ it.

You are a pathetic lying piece of manure. Lies are all you have, not a brain in your head

Andrew Nepolitano would vote to impeach Trump

you should be worrying whether 35 demmycrats in swing districts would vote to impeach Trump......

[Southern Chicken]

How is it not obstruction? How does Executive Privilage cover everyone who ever worked at any time in the White House? Any member of the Cabinet or a Cabinet member's staff past or present? Any and all documents which normally would be open for public review? Actions of the President before he was even elected President?

Your understanding of Executive Privilage is actually Executive absolutism, one of the very things the Founding Fathers warned us against

As per the Supreme Court, congress is not a law enforcement agency and cannot investigate someone purely to expose wrongdoing or damaging information about them for political gain. A subpoena must potentially further some legitimate legislative purpose.

[Southern Chicken]

Tell us how he can invoke Executive Privilege for someone else.

An appearance under subpoena is not EP.

By the separation of powers doctrine and Congressional subpoena power isnt unlimited. It is up to the courts to the constitutional separation of governmental powers and not up to congress.

[Southern Chicken]

"Contempt of Congress is the act of obstructing the work of the United States Congress or one of its committees. Historically, the bribery of a U.S. Senator or U.S. Representative was considered contempt of Congress. In modern times, contempt of Congress has generally applied to the refusal to comply with a subpoena issued by a Congressional committee or subcommittee—usually seeking to compel either testimony or the production of requested documents."
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contempt_of_Congress

There are limits to Congressional subpoena power which are left up to the courts to decide the constitutionality and legitimate legislative purpose.

[Southern Chicken]

nope . Trump claims exec.privilege
You have to get a court ruling otherwise,and then he has to refuse before there is obstruction

[Southern Chicken]

They are covered only if asked a question that may entail EP. NOT merely to testify at all.

Are you a supreme court judge? If not, then you cant answer the scope of Executive privilege or what it covers in this case.

the criminal contempt statute permits Congress to certify a contempt citation to the executive branch for the criminal prosecution of the contemnor.
~~
Obstruction as a charge of Congress without a court order is just a separation of powers standoff.
Let them write it into impeachment, it's just another abuse of power of the Committee's doing
If Congress wants it subpoenas enforced, let them go to the courts
