Well, as long as he didn't lie about a blowjob

[edhopper]

guess no need to consider impeachment.

2. You read my mind

I heard many Rs say impeachment of Clinton was because he lied. Now we have thousands of lies as well as the AG lying baldly in a cover-up attempt. Whether impeachment happens or not, I am convinced that the investigations that will happen when Congress begins to follow that path will be the disinfectant to cleanse the US of this filth.

3. Good thing he didn't wear a tan suit. All hell would have broken loose.

Not.

4. I'm so sick of people comparing this to the Cinton impeachment

Usually as a reason for not impeaching. It's done by pundts and sometimes by Dems but the two situatiosn are completely different. The American people were against Clinton's impeachment becaus ethey knew it was bullshit. This is NOT bullshit. I can see arguments against impeachment now but using the Cinton experience is a false equivalency.

[edhopper]

5. Agree

the point is also Repukes thought that was more than adequate for impeachment.

And this isn't even worth investigation.

[Stuart G]

11. The Repukes may give that impression..that, ..."this isn't worth investigation." Well said...

But they know better. The truth is ...this is worth the investigation...All of it...It ain't lying about a blowjob.

...They know that. Republicans know what's coming. Of course, they are trying to defuse it..one way or another...That is who they are. In my opinion, they can't defuse it. It will grow in ways they cannot predict. Why? There is more to be found?...Why? Trump has done some crooked things. With Russia, and in trying to cover up Russia...The FBI I think already knows..(hell I don't know nothing)..but I know this.......
............... This ain't lying about a blowjob..much worse than that..and Pukes know it.

9. +1, empirically Red Don will NEVER EVER be as popular with democrats as Clinton was with republicans

[tandem5]

16. It's not a false equivalency...

It's a comment on the ethical bankruptcy by Republicans in both cases. Republicans led the charge against Clinton over a trivial affair while covering for Trump regarding a hostile government attack on our election system. Some might call that hypocrisy -- it's not. In both cases it's a willful abuse of their power to execute a diligent check on another branch of government and from that standpoint it is very much equivalent.

[Bradshaw3]

21. It is a false equivalency to compare the two when considering impeachment

It is also a commentary on the ethical bankruptcy of repubs. They are not mutually exclusive. But for pundits or Dems to say we can't impeach tRump because of what happened in the Clinton situation is making a false equivalency for several reasons, including the one I stated.

28. That damn Slick Willy!!!!

[Evolve Dammit]

6. Thanks for the timely comparison of where we have devolved to.

[pdsimdars]

7. I think the better way to look at it. . . what does it take for Democrats to consider impeachment

You listed the "high" bar the Republicans have. . .

8. Just think

If Obama had slept with a porn star and paid her hush money just before the election. The Republicans would've already started impeachment hearings.

[lpbk2713]

10. Impeachment hell.

They would have surrounded the White House bearing torches and pitchforks.

[Traildogbob]

13. Hauled away

How sweet would it be if the FBI, Commey back and leading, snatched Dotard Donny, hauled him out of the white house, HORIZONTALLY, while screaming, like his boy Assange was? Sweet, sweet images.

[Stuart G]

14. Yep...hauling him away....scraming...and saying..."I am not a crook." (sorry, had to add that)

[Volaris]

30. No dear lol,

If Obama had done that, the Republicans would have lynched him from the Capitol Rafters, and run for re-election on their 'good deed'.

Mark my words, they KNOW how bad this is, they KNOW what will be exposed by open impeachment testimony, and they KNOW what it will do to them.

The next election be damned. The Democratic Majority in the House has a CONSTITUTIONAL Duty to do this now (like it, or not).

I'll own that Duty even IF our side loses for it.

[NCLefty]

12. Don't downplay lying under oath.

We need to remember what justice looks like. Clinton broke the law and got slapped (but not removed) for it. He's lucky.

Trump getting away with his crimes is another story and it's not all written yet. There are ~16-20 investigations still. Have hope.

[edhopper]

15. I saw the deposition where Clinton suposedly lied

that amounted to something prosecutable but meeting with Russians and obstructing Justice doesn't?

No! Hell no!

[SunSeeker]

17. Right?

[Baltimike]

18. He. will. be. acquitted. in. the. senate.

Impeachment is a fool's game at this point.

He. will. win.

[maxsolomon]

19. Acquittal / a "win"

If not now, when? If not President Asshole, then who?

Let's put the GOP on record. His approval/disapproval numbers are locked down and he's in a hole.

[Baltimike]

26. when we have the votes in the senate.

anything else is a fool's bet

[edhopper]

24. The. American. People. Will. See. That

as the corrupt act of a corrupt party an vote them out.

Win, win.

[Baltimike]

27. They will see a win ashim being innocent, not of the kGOPb

Most people aren't politicos.

[edhopper]

31. We disagree

I doubt we will know whom is correct.

[ProudLib72]

20. Can we just admit that having a "D" by your name is an impeachable offense to these assholes?

[edhopper]

25. And the truth to others

[True Dough]

23. We've come a long way since Clinton

And these past two years or so, it's been in the wrong freakin' direction!

[H2O Man]

29. Recommended.

I suspect that would imply if he said he got one.

[RicROC]

32. Republican coups

Let's face the bare facts.

Pres. Clinton's impeachment was a coup attempt.

Al Gore's 'defeat' WAS a coup by the Supreme Court.

Republican's attempt to DeLegitimize Pres. Obama and refuse to seat his many nominated judges was an attempted coup, begun on the very night of Mr. Obama's Inauguration.

Hillary's 3 million vote margin could not outweigh the Trump & Russian coup.

So, let's face these Republican shenanigans as to what they really are.
