@revelette1,
Quote:The reaction to Special Counsel Robert Mueller's report continues. While Democrats have mainly been the only ones calling for President Donald Trump's impeachment, a group of conservative and libertarian lawyers co-founded by Trump nemesis George Conway released a statement on Tuesday saying that the framers of the U.S. Constitution would believe there was evidence of impeachable offenses.
The Framers would take into account the fact that the Democrats are known to fabricate obstruction charges against innocent people (Scooter Libby for instance), as well as the fact that the Democrats have already established a precedent with Bill Clinton that obstruction of justice should not result in removal from office, but rather a $25,000 fine is satisfactory.
Quote:They said that the "pattern of behavior" revealed therein is "starkly inconsistent with the President's constitutional duty to 'take care that the laws be faithfully executed.'"
Conway, the husband of White House counselor Kellyanne Conway, basically made the same criticism earlier Tuesday.
"Impeachment isn't merely about whether a president committed crimes--though this one did--it covers dereliction of a president's high duties," he said. "A president who tries to sabotage an investigation into a foreign hostile power's attack on our nation surely fits that bill."
Let's see these lawyers provide proof that these charges were not fabricated like the charges against Scooter Libby were.
If such proof is ever provided, have Trump pay a $25,000 fine like Bill Clinton did for the committing the exact same crime.
Quote:They said it was made clear that Trump is "willing to abuse presidential authority to pressure or remove Senate-confirmed officials for purposes that undermine lawful functioning of government
Now these "experts" are starting to lose their credibility. It is hardly an abuse for the President to order his subordinates to close down an investigation.
Quote:They further said that, in addition to what the report had to say, they remain otherwise concerned about an "existing body of information already in the public domain documenting the President's violations of his oath, including but not limited to his denigration of the free press, verbal attacks on members of the judiciary, encouragement of law enforcement officers to violate the law, and incessant lying to the American people."
And that eliminates all of the the rest of their credibility. Exercising Freedom of Speech is not a violation of the President's oath.
