“You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this republic..Impeachment is not about punishment. It's about cleansing the office. It's about restoring honor & integrity to the office”– @LindseyGrahamSC Jan 1999. #ImpeachDonaldTrump

“it’s a misreading of the Constitution for any member to assert that for a member to vote for an article of impeachment means that that member must be convinced that the President should be removed from office. The Constitution doesn't say that.” – Rep Barbara Jordan, 7/25/1974
“The division between two branches of the Legislature- the House & Senate, assigning to the one the right to accuse & to the other the right to judge, the Framers ..were very astute. They did not make the accusers & the judges the same person.”– Rep Barbara Jordan, 7/25/1974

“what Trump did was un-American. After trying to capitalize on the Russian hacks, [he] questioned U.S. intelligence & publicly sided with Putin in denying the Russian leader’s role. Trump betrayed us, and he will do it again if we let him.”

Electability ranking for Nov 2020 based on my perception of traditional public perception factors such as exciting orator, age, experience, teflon, socialist, demagog etc.
1 Amy K
2 Kamala H
3 Eliz W
4 Kirsten G
5 Joe B
6 Beto O
7 Julian C
8 Eric S
9 Pete B
10 Tulsi G
11 Bernie S
NOTES:
1) Example, I perceive public perception of age will be a factor. Thus, I gave a lower score to Bernie & Biden. I dinged Warren for being "almost 70" & Pete B for under 40, etc.
2) I think the public will give big weight to being female, thus I gave points for females.
NOTES:
3) Exciting Orator was a factor I gave great weight to.
4) Demagogic (perceived) was another - I dinged both Bernie & Beto for the public perceptions I'm reading about. But, I gave them both top scores for Exciting Orator.

POLL:
21 GOP senators are up for reelection in 2020. Dems afraid to consider impeachment say we’ll do better if we nix impeachment talk. We need to flip 4 seats. WILL WE DO BETTER if we nix it? Or keep it viable? Plz RT 👍
Granted, impeachment is bad for our country. Effectively removing the impeachment clause from the constitution (make no mistake, that's what Afraid-to-impeach will do) is worse. Think about it. It makes anyone working for the Executive Branch, above the law. See #ToadyBarr
Afraid to impeach? (Yes, we may come up short, BUT)
• Russian election help in 2020? No problem.
• Obstruct FBI investigations? No problem.
• Lie to Congress? No problem.
• Prosecute opponents? Absolutely!
• Trump orders you to break a law? No problem.

5 prison sentences

13 requests to foreign governments for evidence
@realDonaldTrump Mueller indictments: everyone charged so far in the Russia investigation - Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has indicted or gotten guilty pleas from 34 people and three companies that we know of — the latest being longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone. bit.ly/2MGkXhk

@realDonaldTrump @foxandfriends We have far bigger problems, but you don't give two shits about ANY of them! Our infrastructure is crumbling, climate change is our biggest threat and you won't even acknowledge it, we have mass shootings all the time now, on and on you have lost your mind over the WALL.
@realDonaldTrump @foxandfriends Lindsey Graham on removing Bill Clinton from office: “You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role.”
@realDonaldTrump @foxandfriends By the binding arbitration of the Geneva Convention, we are legally obligated to allow in asylum seekers. What is happening on the border is a manufactured crisis, with bottlenecks created by the Trump administration. pri.org/stories/2017-0… …

1. It’s probably impossible to know whether President Donald Trump is to blame for the nearly 3,000 people who died in 2017 after Hurricane Maria slammed into Puerto Rico.
2. Recoveries are complicated. Lots of moving parts. Lots of people involved. Did the president fail? Did the FEMA fail? How and why did they fail? Hard to say.
3. But it’s not hard to feel a breathtaking lobe-stroking level of rage on hearing the president not only take credit for doing a “fantastic job” but also blame the dead for their demise.

1. Lawrence O’Donnell unearthed Tuesday an old video of then-US Rep. Lindsey Graham expounding on the meaning of impeachment. Graham, now a US Senator, was at the time the lead prosecutor in House proceedings against President Bill Clinton.
2. Graham: “The point I’m trying to make is you *don’t even have to be convicted of a crime* to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role.”
3. He went on: “Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about *cleansing the office*. Impeachment is about *restoring honor and integrity* to the office.”
