There is ALOT of arguing about the legal #Impeachment process, so I thought I would lay the steps out for you.

🔸3
High crimes and misdemeanors and NOT defined in the Constitution.

Senator Chuck #Schumer just launched a mean-spirited and grossly unfair tirade against President Trump. He thinks he can get away with it because the MSM has his back and Republicans are too timid to call him out

over-riding objective of serving the people.

What the Democrats do now is follow the lead of the most execrable member of the Senate: Chuck Schumer. Sure, Menendez is a pervert but Schumer is calculatingly evil.
