WTF does that have to do with anything?


Due process doesn't exist during investigations or inquiries. You can argue that it should until you are blue in the face (and I would tend to agree).. but it does not:

'...deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law'

This is actually incorrect, but whatever.

I will concede that the Dems can run their "impeachment" however they wish. There is no protocol or procedure in the constitution as to how it is to be done.

However, it is quite telling that this go around, the Dems have chosen to not follow the precedent for such inquiries that the Dems did with Nixon and the GOP did with Clinton.

So, the question becomes, why?

Because it is not serious. It is not an impeachment inquiry. It is nothing more that a political stunt to try to damage Trump going into 2020.

It will be so delicious when the transcript of the first call is released tomorrow and completely blows them out of the water (which is not even necessary considering how much of a circular firing squad this has been the whole time).

OP wasn't arguing some sort of technical "due process" point. He listed out a bunch of aspects of this proceeding that he took issue with and said the following:

And half of this country is perfectly fine with this.


You IMMEDIATELY came in the thread sniping about the president not being "charged with anything" and nothing else.

So, are you or are you not, "perfectly fine" with how this is being handled?

What are you even really sniping about here? Why snipe about anything with regard to the OP if you're not?
