Yes, this is what he always been referring to. I’ll find the quote for you where this was said (at least I hope I still can)
i disagree that an intentional act to control the end result is necessarily lawful. While the mechanism itself may be lawful, the intent is what I believe to be the crime. The senators are willfully ignoring their duties to act to defend the US against a possible criminal act by the president. The fact they craft some means to make it appear they are acting doesn’t change the fact they would effectively be covering up criminal activity. How is that not a crime?
Persoanlly as long as the senators have taken the position of being willing to cover up criminal activity by the president, I believe a move to impeach would simply give trump a stand to claim he, again without true vindication, that the action has exonerated him. He has successfully used that same tactic to rally his sheep. It would allow him to further divide the country so I see it as being more harmful than gainful.
Yes, have a great loathing for Trump. I’ve seen people act as never before in support of a person who clearly holds his interest in promoting his name before the best interests of our country. I teeter between whether his acts are simply a display of grandiose narcissism with no understanding of the damage it has caused on the world stage or an actual intent to move the country into a fascist state. His statements over his tenure so far have suggested he does desire a fascist state with himself as the leader. His constant pecking away at the rule of law and attempts to circumvent the processes in place and limits of authority shows a desire to alter the foundations of the rules of government we currently have. His attacks on the US Constitution itself show a lack of respect for the establishment of our government itself.
I see support by the gop in his actions when they speak of ignoring their duties concerning holding a valid trial if the the president is actually impeached. I just don’t know if their actions are simply out of foolish loyalty to a political party that is so strong they are willing to refuse to perform their duties to defend the US Constitution or something worse.
