We should allow Robert Mueller to complete his investigation and issue his report before taking any action potentially affecting the president’s tenure.

Based on the deliberations of the Framers of the Constitution and Federalist No. 69, I believe that a sitting president should not be criminally prosecuted. Before facing ordinary criminal liability, he first would have to be impeached, tried, convicted, and removed from office.

We don’t impeach simply because we dislike a person or disagree with his policies. If you’re unhappy about
@POTUS, then don’t vote for him in 2020. The electoral process should determine who holds the executive power.Show this thread -
Impeachment proceedings are a quasi-legal, quasi-political process reserved for situations that present substantial evidence of egregious wrongdoing by the officeholder.

Impeachment is equivalent to a grand jury indictment. If the House votes to impeach someone, that is not the same as a finding of guilt; it is merely a finding of probable cause that the accused has committed an impeachable offense.

Upon impeachment by the House, the Senate conducts a trial. Only here does the vote represent a finding of guilt. While there is reasonable disagreement about the proper burden of proof, I believe that a very high standard must be met to overturn the results of an election.

I hope that we don’t get to this point, but I think it’s important, given recent news, that members of Congress share their thoughts on this matter with the people they represent.

I’m ashamed of your approach to this sham if an investigation. How would you like to be investigated on a false accusation and have every one of your friends and associates pressured to incriminate you?
#Disgusting -
So EVERYONE is lying EXCEPT Trump? Cohen, Manafort, Pecker, CIA, FBI, NSA, Stormy, MacDougal...are ALL lying EXCEPT Trump? He's surrounded by crooks & traitors ("the best people"!), but he himself is as innocent as a lamb. REALLY? Boy, have I got a bridge to sell YOU, buddy!

So what do you think
@potus is guilty of? Specifically, what is the crime he committed and should be charged with? What is the evidence that has been disclosed that you point to? When does an investigation stop when it is looking for something that didn't happen?#collusion -
Money laundering. Organizing his campaign with a foreign power. Tax evasion. That’s three. Wait and see. :)
-
Evidence? None provided. What do you base these claims on?
-
You need to watch a news channel besides Fox. That's why you don't know what's been going on, and all the evidence that's piling up against Trump. In the future, please do your own damn Google checking. Thanks.https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2018/07/24/michael-cohen-and-trump-talk-karen-mcdougal-audio-obtained-cnn/831285002/ …

When he admitted to firing Comey because he wanted to stop the Russia investigation, Trump became guilty of "misuse of authority," and "intimidation"-- both of which fall under the phrase

I resent this thread. If Hillary Clinton were pres and now an unindicted co-conspirator on top of everything else, Mr. Amash would be writing the articles of impeachment himself.

So you take your condescending “don’t vote for him in 2020” and shove it up your ass.
-
Trump will be re-elected in 2020 and everybody knows it. Write it on something long and hard (and preferably with splinters) and shove that up your ass.
-
Wrong. He'll be lucky to last that long, he's a criminal, and more will be coming out.
-
At the rate Trump’s “friends” are flipping on him now, I have no doubt he won’t serve out his term. But I’m still disgusted by hypocrites like Amash.
