Chuck Schumer is reaching this morning, feeling the end is near.

He complains @AlanDersh argued a POTUS cannot be impeached for non-crimes and @TheJusticeDept won’t indict a president.

Right, because they are impeached for high crimes and misdemeanors, like he argued in 1999.
Worth noting, the legal consensus is worthless. @AlanDersh was right that it changes based on political interest.

Not only did Democrats like @SenSchumer and liberal “scholars” argue crimes were needed for impeachment in 1999, but also Clinton’s crimes were not “high” crimes.
In 1999, Democrats like @SenSchumer and @SpeakerPelosi didn’t even contest whether @BillClinton committed crimes or the necessity of a crime for impeachment.

They argued there were no “high” crimes, severe enough to remove him.

Bribery, treason and the like only.
