Many of the allegations against @POTUS are serious and should be taken seriously, especially by members of Congress.

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.

You lost me on this tweet. The President is an unindicted co-conspirator for a crime related to his election. He's only in office because of his election victory, which he allegedly committed at least one federal crime to obtain. Why should his tenure in office be sacrosanct?

Congress didn't wait for Jaworski in 74. Neither should you wait for Mueller. If you don't wanna do your job, resign.

Mueller was put in place based on a false and fake dossier. He needs to be removed immediately. You have a very distorted view of justice.

As long a Trump is President, Mueller will continue to interfere with his Administration. He will continue to violate his charter to unconstitutionally ruin financially anyone associated with Trump.

Robert Mueller was hired to look into Russian interference in the USA elections. He wasn't hired to investigate Manafort, Cohen, and he certainly wasn't hired to investigate The
@POTUS Sorry, but if there is no collusion, his work should be done.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

We don't need to wait. The president was an unindicted co-conspirator to federal election crimes. That's sufficient for high crimes & misdemeanors. Impeach. Bring him to trial in Senate.

Your party refuses to even have good faith investigations in the house. Today they are having a hearing to re-investigate HRC emails. The absurdity and hypocrisy is infuriating and dangerous.

Some potentially serious charges aren't coming from Mueller they're coming from SDNY. Where in the Constitution does it stated a sitting president can't be indicted?

You don't need his report to act on the obvious obstruction. Just because Trump's doing it openly doesn't make it uncriminal. It's your sworn duty to act. Will you do more than tweet & wait?

I agree. The problem is that the Republicans will never consent to impeachment. Even if it came out that Trump had given Putin the keys to the WH the Republicans would refuse to impeach. Zero balls from Republicans.

Why don't you focus on members of Congress using campaign funds to pay off sexual harassment victims.? How about you focus on real crimes? POTUS used personal funds.
