I’m not paying WAPO, but here’s the link if you don’t believe me.

Wapo Link by Tyrant

Yes, the actual position of the Washington Post is:

quote:

Trump’s lawyers shouldn’t be allowed to use bogus arguments on impeachment


That is a direct quote.

These people are fricking insane.

How dare they do anything effective to defend him!

Did Chairman Mao allow defense witnesses in his show trials?

”Any number of such violations of the public trust — such as working with foreign governments in ways that make the president beholden to their leaders, or cooperating with those governments to bolster the president’s reelection — clearly must be impeachable even though they might violate no criminal law and indeed no federal statute at all”.


I wonder if pallets of cash in the middle of the night fall under this?

Bogus arguments... like trying to Impeach a President on charges that aren't actually criminal?

So, they are admitting what Trump and his side is saying is effective, so it isn’t fair.

It isn’t like bogus arguments were used to make the actual impeachment articles. Oh wait...

So what he is saying is every Democrats Wet Dream. We can get rid of Drumph because we don’t like him and he’s a bad Guy. But this is exactly what the Founders warned us about and not to do And the the Dims have opened Pandora’s box.

Still requires a supermajority to do it unless they do some frickery to get around that.

If that happens, what is happening in Virginia will only be a warmup for the main event.

I am getting subscription-walled. What specific arguments are bogus?

That the impeachment standard of "high crimes and misdemeanors" requires actual crimes and misdemeanors?

Apparently they have decided whether “pissing me off” is a felony or misdemeanor.

I think someone left this out of my copy of the Constitution.

No one can use their bogus tactics. That's the law.

In other words, an impeachable offense is anything THEY say it is.

Armor piercing question -

If this is impeachable, then why wasn’t selling tech to China amongst the impeachment articles against Bill Clinton?

There was tons of proof he and Gore were doing it in exchange for campaign contributions in 1996.

In the last sentence of the article...what a hypocritical bunch of crap.

Do they really think that Trump is just going to roll over while the Dems screw him?

Counter point, the Dems shouldn't be allowed to use bogus charges to file articles of impeachment.
