3 Reasons Why Congress Should Impeach Donald Trump.

Firstly, impeachment has been used to call out misleading, dishonest, and corrupt conduct by Presidents even if it didn’t end up in removal from office. Bill Clinton was brought to trial by a Republican House on two articles of impeachment, Lying to a grand jury, and attempted obstruction of justice. The Senate did acquit him of all charges. Bill Clinton had committed no crimes, and because he had been a sexually loose kind of man, it ended up costing him much during his presidency. These charges were ultimately determined to be unsubstantial, and this means that more than twenty years later, the same Republican Party that ran what ended up as being little more than a political smear campaign that dragged innocent people’s names through the mud, wasted the American people’s time and attention, and lowered the standard for American political dialogue in ways that we have yet to fully understand the consequences of is painting modern Democrats’ efforts at investigating the most corrupt presidency that we’ve ever seen as a “witch hunts” and in the word’s of Donald Trump himself, “Probably the greatest Hoax our country has ever seen.” Trump’s actions cannot go unchecked, lest the standard to which we hold the office of the presidency should be forever tainted, and our country forever changed. Democrats cannot back down from the fight. The Republican party since Nixon has been so rife with this kind of hypocrisy, narrative muddying, virtue signalling, and cheap tricks to keep their party in power, that their voter base can no longer tell when they’ve been mislead. To fail to Impeach Trump says that all of that wrongdoing, and any conceivable future for American Politics will get a pass from Democrats.

Secondly, In Today’s media landscape, far more people would have access to the testimonies of key witnesses that will certainly have a great effect on public opinion leading up to the 2020 election. Moderate, establishment democrats fear the political blow back that they believe could result from divisive impeachment proceedings. Nancy Pelosi remembers well watching Newt Gingrich’s leading of the failed impeachment attempt in 1998, and the end of his Speakership in the House. But Donald Trump is not being falsely accused, and given the full evidence, it will be clear to congress and to the American People that the president is intensely corrupt, and that he is a danger to the health of our democracy. Thus the senate will have to either lie to the American People, or it will have to find him guilty. It is of paramount importance that the Senate is forced to prove whether it will respect the constitution, or whether it will protect it’s political interests. They must be brought to account for their answer. It’s easy to forget in the complex world of political maneuvering that the TRUTH being clear to the American people is more important than the power that can be harnessed as a result of our ignorance. Donald Trump IS guilty. He IS corrupt, and his dirty laundry MUST be aired publicly.

Last but not least, Even if we find that Donald Trump is not in any way improperly bought or sold by the Russians (which he is), his disinformation campaign in the wake of Robert Mueller’s report is enough to prove that this President will not hesitate to act in his own interest, regardless of the cost to the Country. He has regularly mislead the public about the nature of the Mueller Report’s findings, outright lying to the faces of his supporters and his critics alike. He has consistently mischaracterized the Mueller Report as a definitive statement of “No Collusion, No Obstruction” in a daft, sing song repetition ever since it was released in it’s redacted form, and he has declared executive privilege over the undredacted version to prevent its release to Congress, even in the face of a congressional subpoena by the House Judiciary Committee. The Mueller report didn’t even investigate into Collusion, which is not a legal term recognized by the Department Of Justice, he found that the evidence that he examined was not sufficient to Charge the president with direct “Coordination or Conspiracy” with the Russian government to meddle in the 2016 election. And Although the Mueller report laid out a pretty damning view of the President’s activity as it relates to attempted obstruction of Justice during the FBI’s investigation, He stopped short of charging the President with Obstruction of Justice, later citing a DOJ policy memo from the 70’s that states that a president cannot be indicted for a crime while in office. Recently, an open letter published by Medium, and signed by over 700 lawyers stated, “Each of us believes that the conduct of President Trump described in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report would, in the case of any other person not covered by the Office of Legal Counsel policy against indicting a sitting President, result in multiple felony charges for obstruction of justice.”
