    If it does not entail treason or high crimes and misdemeanors, it is purely partisan and a despicable abuse of power by the morons in the Democratic Party of the Jackass.

    You lack the grey matter it takes to comprehend that this is dividing the Republic and rule of law for purely partisan political purposes. That was NOT the intent of the founders. The Constitution; READ it.

    read the Constitution -read the text.

    Simply saying you don't like the phone call, or you 'think "national security" was damaged doesn't cut it.

    Madison SPECIFICALLY warned us not to use "maladministration" as an impeachable offense

    Articles have to be written as a crime, not a nebulous "abuse of power" -and please don't start with
    "Obstruction of Congress" when the Dems didn't even try to compel testimony thru the courts.
    ‘Maladministration’ morphed into “high crimes and misdemeanors”, idiot.

    So now you like Lindsey Graham??? Here's what Nadler said in 1998; was he lying, a hypocrite or both?

    i don't care what Graham says the CONSTITUTION IS THE FINAL WORD -the TEXT IS CLEAR

    if it doesn't meet the TEXT CRITERIA it's not an impeachable offense

    Nixon and Clinton had clear crimes that were impeachable
    ( not that I agree on Clinton - but lying to a grand jury is criminal)

    They sure don’t, dumbfuck.

    Find the words in the Constitution where it states there has to be a criminal offense.

    I’ll wait.

    And don’t try the bullshit “high crimes and misdemeanors” because that’s not what the phrase means.
