    You're wrong again.
    Yup. Lying under oath. Which was Clinton did wrt to Paula Jones lawsuit and not, as the Democrats and MSM keep deliberately misinforming everyone, anything to do with his affair with Lewinsky.

    I'm always still in trouble again

      So much for Pelosi's vow to only impeach when there was clear bipartisan support for it.

        I think she might be working on that. The crime is still in progress.

          Every time ‘no bipartisan support’ was mentioned I could hear Justin Amash clear his throat. He is a man without party sitting alone and clearing his throat. What will become of him?

              He's an independent - a former Republican does not create 'bipartisan' support. My understanding is he caucuses with the Democrats now which would, if we are lumping him into a party despite his own assertion of independence, make him a Democrat.

                It may not matter...

                Politico outlined Democrats’ new idea, citing constitutional lawyer Laurence Tribe (but, interestingly, not the Constitution itself). Pelosi hopes to pressure McConnell into holding a “fair trial” — this, after she and her party broke every relevant House rule and precedent, and several Amendments in the Bill of Rights, all in the name of their “sole Power of Impeachment.”

                They forget that a “fair trial” applies to the accused, not the accuser, and has since 1215.

                Set aside, for the moment, that holding onto the articles of impeachment would contradict everything Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and the Democrats have said for weeks about the “urgency” of impeachment. They needed to stop him before he could “cheat in the next election,” we were told — that’s why the House could not wait for the courts to rule on the White House’s resistance to stop congressional subpoenas.

                All of that would be exposed as a lie.

                If Pelosi refuses to submit the articles of impeachment to the Senate, McConnell can convene the Senate anyway, summon the Chief Justice, and swear in the Senators as jurors. Democrats can boycott, but they can’t stop the trial.

                McConnell can then propose to dismiss the charges or even hold a vote to acquit the president.

                Pelosi can hide the articles of impeachment in Adam Schiff’s basement forever, and it won’t make a bit of difference.

                Case closed.

                    It’s not goofy or made up. Obstruction of justice is perjury’s daddy. OOJ is more of an actual crime than perjury because perjury’s mother is lying who is not really a crime. Perjury is therefore, only half crime and half not really a crime.

                    OOJ is all crime and even rumoured to have founded the ‘interfering with administering justice’ family of crimes. If anything, OOJ has a better chance of being a high crime than perjury.

                    Focus groups were wise to summon him.

                          Assuming this is correct, Pelosi could simply write a new article of impeachment after the Senate trial, and keep going in that fashion. Trump could be the first President to be permanently impeached.

                            Why not? It would simply drive home what a sham this whole thing is.

                            May God continue to bless President Donald Trump and the beautiful First Lady.
