I believe Trump will be impeached for treason

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

And hopefully his band of blabbering idiots will all be charged with Misprision of Treason. If you commit Treason against the United States you are BANNED from ever holding public office. The links below show examples of giving aid and comfort to enemies.

18 U.S. Code § 2381 - Treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.

18 U.S. Code § 2382 - Misprision of treason

Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States and having knowledge of the commission of any treason against them, conceals and does not, as soon as may be, disclose and make known the same to the President or to some judge of the United States, or to the governor or to some judge or justice of a particular State, is guilty of misprision of treason and shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than seven years, or both.

1. Don't see GOPers doing that. Besides, Pence doesn't appear an improvement

But, we can hope.

5. This is what would be required...

The U.S. Constitution provides impeachment as the method for removing the president, vice president, federal judges, and other federal officials from office. The impeachment process begins in the House of Representatives and follows these steps:

1. The House Judiciary Committee holds hearings and, if necessary, prepares articles of impeachment. These are the charges against the official.

2. If a majority of the committee votes to approve the articles, the whole House debates and votes on them.

3. If a majority of the House votes to impeach the official on any article, then the official must then stand trial in the Senate.

4. For the official to be removed from office, two-thirds of the Senate must vote to convict the official. Upon conviction, the official is automatically removed from office and, if the Senate so decides, may be forbidden from holding governmental office again.



House Judiciary Committee Members: https://judiciary.house.gov/committee-members/ (Would only need 4 Republicans to vote to approve article of impeachment from this list.)

It would require 24 House Republicans or Independents to vote to impeach.

It would require 3 Senate Republicans or Independents to convict.

7. It would require 19 Senate Republicans to vote to convict.

Assuming all Senate Democrats and Indies voted to convict.

9. Was basing the count on new numbers as of 2017

The GOP lost 2 seats. I'm admittedly not familiar about how many more voters are needed to convict above and beyond having more votes.

12. old numbers or new numbers, it takes 2/3 of Senate to convict

That's 67. As of 2017, the Repubs will have 52 Senators, the Democrats have (including two independents) 48.

2. From your lips

To God's 👂🏻

3. Misprision of Treason, how did I forget that one? Getting old I guess.

I wonder if that gets around the two witness thing in the Constitution?

Putin has these guys by the short hairs. One phone call, one Press Conference in Russia and a bunch of them go down.

4. Not while repigs are in power.

Impeachment is a political process. Repigs are licking their chops because all their dreams can come true for them and their donors.

Trump could strangle a baby live on tv and we would get lessons how that's not as bad as getting a blow job in the Oval Office.

6. I don't believe that all Republicans in Washington will ignore what the CIA has said and...

If they are truly patriotic and LOVE America they will not turn a blind eye to collusion with the Kremlin.

[BlueStater]

8. They have no love or loyalty towards Trump.

He's not even really a Republican, just a clown who humiliated all their up-and-coming "stars". I have no doubt they'd like to get rid of him so a complete party puppet like Pence can become president.

[onenote]

15. 1.5 million more ballots were cast for Trump than repub house candidates

So don't expect a repub rebellion against Trump.

10. "If they are truly patriotic and LOVE America"

LOL. There's your answer.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

11. There are a lot of decent, moderate Republicans

And plenty of veterans who have got to be completely beside themselves at Trump's appointments and his denial of what the CIA has said is fact.

[TrekLuver]

14. Yes and what about active military ...they like that Trashpot is talking crap about the CIA ?

They like that he's pushing China's buttons and the show has just begun? Their asses are on the line and they are trusting their life with this guy?

[phleshdef]

13. Unfortunately, Russia doesn't legally fit the description.

I totally agree with your point, but I think Trump is safe on those grounds. We all know better. But it is what it is. However, I think more is about to come out that might change that. Trump is fucking with the CIA and he WILL get his ass kicked.

[NoGoodNamesLeft]

16. Hacking and cyber attacks on our Democracy are acts of war

I think that is how Russia does fit the description.

17. By what country's Congress?

Ain't gonna be ours.
