The Trump Impeachment Thread

It’s pretty clear the House is going to impeach him again next week.

Quote:

GOP Senator Sasse on CBS this am: "The House, if they come together and have a process, I will definitely consider whatever articles they might move."

Here is a draft of the articles of impeachment that very well might be submitted on Monday.

I'm not going to copy and paste the whole thing, but I did provide three links in case some of them go away. Could be rapidly changing and the doc might not be up persistently.

Betfair is taking bets on whether Trump will exit before the end of his first term. There isn't much liquidity on it. The odds on the yes are 9.6 for 1, if you take the mean between the ask and lay prices. That suggests a 10.4% chance.

I'd be interested in buying the "yes" from any forum member in good standing.

Impeachment odds may go up. There's a report that someone had Covid in the safe room the lawmakers were hiding. Several Republican lawmakers didn't wear masks in there.

Liz Cheney, no. 3 Republican in the House, announces she will vote to Impeach.



Hard to argue with that statement, no?

Double impeachment
Greatest stain on a Presidency

If Giuliani does agree to represent trump in the senate trial, do you think he will first demand that they "settle up" with what trump owes him, and then demand to be pre-paid for the trial?

review of what someone else posted earlier regarding paying (or not) giuliani:

Quote:

Trump has instructed aides not to pay Giuliani’s legal fees, two officials said, and has demanded that he personally approve any reimbursements for the expenses Giuliani incurred while traveling on the president’s behalf to challenge election results in key states. They said Trump has privately expressed concern with some of Giuliani’s moves and did not appreciate a demand from Giuliani for $20,000 a day in fees for his work attempting to overturn the election.

Quote:

The New York Times calls the relationship frayed and “White House officials have started blocking Mr. Giuliani’s calls to the president…”

But, reportedly Trump wants Giuliani to represent him in a possible Senate impeachment trial. It’s unclear whether any of this will impact that decision going forward.

Pelosi may be a witness FOR President Trump! One of the allegations against Trump is that his refusal to accept that the election was fair sowed the violence that befell on the Capitol. The defense can ask Pelosi why her refusal to accept the result of the 2016 election was any different? Her May 2017 tweet is CLEAR. "Our election was hijacked. There is no question." As the person 3rd in line to be President, she brought up baseless claims to foment discord, and undermine the duly elected President of the United States. She presented no evidence to any court to back up her baseless claims. Yet she actually parrots that Trump's claims are baseless! I'm wondering how many threads that it is appropriate to point out that Pelosi is BEYOND hypocritical, she is an existential threat to our Democracy. The previous threat (Trump) has been voted out. Since she obviously has shown to be a liar and a hypocrite, if it wasn't for partisan politics she would be unanimously removed from office. How can anyone defend her? Seriously? Answer--- Trump bad! Pelosi not as bad!
