I have. It seems pretty subjective. Almost like whatever the House wants it to be. Would you agree?
Nope.

No. It's not political and not subjective to emotion. Crime and misdemeanor. Black and white.

Do you have a link or anything? Are you saying you need an actual criminal indictment or conviction as a prerequisite?

Any statute or case law backing that up?

I disagree with Nadler. I don’t think I’m behind impeachment; however, if you truly believe he did something impeachable, then you are honor bound to bring the charges. Mueller wouldn’t accuse of a crime because Trump couldn’t defend himself. I wish the Democrats would take the same approach

High crimes and misdemeanors seems like a term of art. What did it mean when the Founders wrote it?

Crimes is fairly clear.
Misdemeanors gets murky.

What’s a high crime? Is that defined anywhere?
Posted on 6/2/19 at 9:52 am to boosiebadazz
If only they had written papers that explained in plain words what they meant...

High crime was a term used to describe a crime that could only be committed by someone in a position of elevated power in the government. A misdemeanor is a crime.

Que?

I think there is ample historical record showing what high crimes and misdemeanors meant at the time of the Founders.
Are you aware of any of that historical record?

High crimes and misdemeanors are subjective to whatever the House thinks?

I thought you said you had researched this.
