As explained by Judge John T. Noonan, Jr. in his articles and in his 1986 book BRIBES, Warren Hastings was guilty of bribery as well as cruel administration of India for the profit of himself and the East India Company. The Lords acquitted. So what?
It is amazing that defenders of @realDonaldTrump point to the acquittal by the Lords of Warren Hastings in his 1787 impeachment trial for bribery. The evidence is that he was guilty. Great Britain's exploitation and corruption in India continued for over another century.
We had the American Revolution for a reason. British colonial rulers were CORRUPT. Now Trump's defenders use the failed 1787 impeachment trial of Warren Hastings-- the most corrupt of them all-- to justify Trump.
The Senate wants to act like the Lords did in 1787? Sack them all!
