[Hoot Gibson]

If you listen to one politician, you are being lied too. You sound like a huge Trump supporter. He lies constantly.

Lying is not an impeachable offense.

This isn’t a criminal court. Trump or any other president is basically getting fired from his job; not going to jail, so the HOR doesn’t have to prove a crime just the fact that what he is doing isn’t congruent with the Constitution.

The Constitutional burden on the House of Representatives for impeachment is a finding that the President committed a high crime or misdemeanor. The reason that Democrats denied President Trump due process by denying the Republican members of the House the right to call witnesses and the reason that Pelosi is attempting to meddle in the Senate's role in trying an impeached president is that there is no evidence that Trump committed any crime and certainly no evidence of a high crime or misdemeanor.

It is debatable whether the House has actually impeached Trump because Pelosi has failed to deliver the Articles of Impeachment to the Senate for trial. If she persists, this election year sham will likely backfire on Democrats. Voters are not likely to take kindly to House Democrats attempt to smear the president by delaying the Senate trial to which he is Constitutionally entitled.

Timeline, motive, and witnesses is enough to start the process and that’s what we are in...the beginning of a case. If we were to loosely compare this to a criminal case, I see impeachment as a grand jury that sees enough evidence to bring the case to trial.

Your last point is where is what I think is laughable about both sides today. Both dismiss their man’s exploits while “clutching their pearls” over the other. The comparisons between the two are dumbfounding.

This should be a criminal case and the defendants should include Adam Schiff and Obama leftovers in the Justice Department who fabricated evidence and used a Clinton-financed opposition report that resulted in FISA wiretaps and led to the Mueller witch hunt.

I am not now, nor will I ever be a Trump fan, but Democrats' refusal to accept the results of a fair and legal election, their misuse of public funds, their abuse of power, and their criminal acts aimed at unseating a duly elected president will be remembered as a very dark and chilling period of American history for generations to come.
