Ken Starr and Newt Gingrich Issue Scathing Rebuke of 'Brazen, BJ free' Impeachment of Donald Trump
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, President Donald J. Trump became the third American man ever impeached by the House of Representatives.
Two articles of impeachment — one alleging he abused his power and another that he willfully obstructed the constitutional authority of the Congress to investigate his administration — passed on a largely party line vote in the House. There had been some speculation on the Hill if enough House Republicans would be present for a quorum, given that so many would have to make the commute from deep inside Trump’s anus to the floor of the House in order to debate and ultimately cast their votes on the articles of impeachment. However, they did indeed make it to the rotunda in time, and the day’s proceedings were able to get underway.
The Republicans tried in vain to protect President Trump from what Rep. Gym Jordan, a Republican representing Ohio, called a “willful and wanton misapplication of accountability.” After hours of furious debate, the votes were cast, and Trump joined former Presidents Andrew Johnson and Bill Clinton as the three men to be officially impeached. Former President Richard M. Nixon was not subjected to a full vote on his articles of impeachment, as he resigned the office of the presidency after the Supreme Court held unanimously that he had to turn over recordings he made in the Oval Office, and as the articles passed out of the House Judiciary committee. It’s long been suspected by historians that Nixon’s articles of impeachment would have been passed and he would have been impeached, had he not resigned first.
Two men very familiar with the impeachment of a president issued a blistering letter, trashing the process by which House Democrats adopted and passed articles of impeachment against Trump. In a long-winded and angry letter, Special Prosecutor Ken Starr — who investigated President Clinton’s actions that led to his impeachment — and former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich — who oversaw the impeachment — excoriated Democrats. The letter says Trump’s impeachment “sets a dangerous precedent.”
