How do I impeach thee, let me count the ways
House power peaks with formal impeachment inquiry. Senate will be forced to open a trial. So many impeachable offenses, let’s count…
- Criminal conspiracy to launder money in financial crimes with Russian money and Deutsche Bank
- Violating the emoluments clause of the Constitution by allowing federal employees and service members, and foreign officials to stay at his resorts
- Paying $280,000 to silence former Playboy model Karen McDougal and adult-film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 campaign to cover up sexual encounters
- As a candidate, inviting Russia, if they are listening, to find damaging emails of a political rival. Shows a basic lack of understanding boundaries
- Trying to thwart special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference
- Inflated and deflated the value of assets to acquire loans and pay less in taxes
- Allowed top aides, including son-in-law Jared Kushner, to receive security clearances they were not qualified to have
- The White House refusing to comply with subpoenas
- Asking a foreign leader to hurt a political rival, he asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to look into whether former Vice President Joe Biden pressured Ukrainian officials to fire a prosecutor who investigated Biden’s son’s company
All of these episodes illustrate a failure to respect the office, protect the Constitution and are abuses of power. Criminal to the core! The Watergate mantra was “follow the money”. This is no different.
