    Default Unpacking The BS Argument: "Too Close To Election For Impeachment"

    Where do these people GET this baloney?

    If that is true, it means a president can only be impeached 3 years out of the 4 in a term?

    What?

    Are you kidding me?

    No oversight is possible during 1/4 of a term?

    The president is absolutely above the law 25% of the time?

    What nonsense.

    Don't believe it.

    Nobody is above the law at any time.

    That's the America principle written into the Constitution.

    There is nothing about 'too close to the election.'

    Yes, no one is above the law, including Nervous Nancy.

    “18 U.S. Code & 2071. Concealment, Removal or "Mutilation" generally...……………. Whoever willingly and unlawfully, conceals, removes, MUTILATES, obliterates, or destroys...……documents that are or have been filed with any clerk officer of any court officer in the United States or in any public office...or with any judicial or public officer of the United States (I wonder if a POTUS is considered an officer?) shall be fined under this title or imprisoned for not more than 3 years

    Section B.....shall forfeit office and be disqualified from holding any office under the Untied States.”

    Nervious Nancy obliterated and destroyed a presidential document (the president is the highest officer in the land).

    Lock her up.

    There is no 'free time' without presidential oversight.

    No man is above the law at any time.

    Trump fans can fool themselves but they will never fool history.

    The truth shall prevail.

    The Chicago Tribune:

    The partisan impeachment of President Donald Trump finally passed, mercifully, like a kidney stone, with Democrats grimacing helplessly during acquittal in the Senate on Wednesday.

    It’s over.

    The cable news networks loved it because they love a show but there was no real drama. Americans knew for months how this would turn out. They knew Democrats didn’t have the votes in the Senate. It was all about targeting select Republican senators in the next elections.

    The people turned off this farce of Democratic Impeachment Theater long ago.

    Americans aren’t as dumb as some politicians think they are. They paid attention for a while. They read the transcript of his phone call to Ukraine — which needed military assistance — asking for an investigation into the Bidens.

    But they figured this thing out. They saw the flaws in the arguments. Independent voters didn’t think the call — which didn’t ultimately prevent Ukraine from getting military aid and didn’t lead to a Ukraine investigation into the Bidens — was grounds to remove a president.

    Many Republicans don’t think Trump’s call was “perfect,” as he insists, but they didn’t want to remove him from office for it. And they knew that a presidential election was less than a year away. So, they decided to move on."

    No "woman" is above the law at any time.

    "Moot".....look it up, its a legal term. Trump was acquitted. Game over...….your subjective propaganda is now made MOOT via reality.

    MOOT: OF NO LEGAL SIGNIFICANCE (as of being previously decided). Subjective propaganda did not work during the trial.....what makes you assume it renders any results EX POST FACTO?

    The problem with Republicans is they believe their own BS.

    The problem with progressive fascists? They don't accept the reality that over 63 million people believed Mr. Trump. And there is a projected revised number of them that still believe him.....67Million total.

    2016 Redux. Doing the exact same thing....expecting different results.

    I have looked at the Constitution.

    I can't find the passage that says a president may not be impeached during an election year.

    And it doesn't seem right that there is ever a lapse in oversight of the executive.

    Everybody gotta answer to SOMEBODY!

    The voters will make the final decision and throw out Trump's cancer of authoritarianism and his comrades this fall.
    Russian trolls and their supporters go on Ignore, automatically: no second chance.

    You don't need the Constitution to tell you that the president was acquitted (exonerated) and remains your president.

    Four more years.

    Trying to impeach a President for partisan political purposes is moronic. Thinking that Obstruction of Congress or Maladministration is an impeachable offense is moronic.

    You leftists have lost your sanity. The Party of the Jackass has gone full retard. 2020 is going to be a bad year for leftists and the Party of the Jackass.
