Just ask hcap during Vietnam or the invasion of Iraq after 9/11

The government never lies.


Go ahead...ask him. He'll tell you. And you like him.
You have the memory of a gnat. I protested both wars. Nixon lied, happy to see him go. The Trump government lies. He and it should go.

What the Founders were concerned about
Till "All the details are in"

Constitutional Scholar Explains What the Founders Would Have Thought of Impeaching Trump
The framers of the Constitution had very specific ideas in mind when they thought about impeachment.


https://www.alternet.org/news-amp-po...peaching-trump

..James Madison warned, “He might pervert his administration into a scheme of peculation or oppression. He might betray his trust to foreign powers.” Edmund Randolph noted, “The Executive will have great opportunitys of abusing his power.”

But there was one exception to the focus on abuse of authority while in office. George Mason urged, “No point is of more importance than that the right of impeachment should be continued.” His central example took the form of this question: “Shall the man who has practised corruption & by that means procured his appointment in the first instance, be suffered to escape punishment, by repeating his guilt?”

As Sunstein makes clear, the framers of the Constitution believed it would be necessary to impeach a president for obtaining the office by duplicitous, corrupt, or illegal means. And that's exactly what Cohen implicates Trump in doing — subverting campaign finance laws to win the 2016 election.

Sunstein doesn't declare definitively that Congress should impeach Trump on these grounds, in part because all the details of the charges against Cohen are not yet public. But he does seem to think it's worth considering — and what the founders may have wanted.

You post "Q", conspiracy theories, and you think a constitutional scholar should not be allowed to opine? Or for me to post it, after this board is being totally mesmerized by Chumpy?

Do I hear 1984?
