A Criminal Standard Does Not Apply To Impeachment
Trump and Giuliani are hanging their hat on the criminal standard, but there is no criminal standard for impeachment. There is also no criminal standard at the ballot box. Giulianis defense of the Trump campaign talking information from Russia was a total disaster. Rudy put the icing on the cake of the belief that Trump is in Putins back pocket.
No other campaign has ever taken information from a hostile foreign power. The Trump campaign should have turned down the info and called law enforcement. The fact that Trump cant be charged with a crime doesnt mean that his behavior, or that of his campaign, is not an impeachable offense, and Rudy Giuliani seems to be trying to get Trump impeached.

(22,130 posts)That's the ? in my mind. He had a chance to turn the offer down, didn't. And the reason is that he asked for this damaging information from the Russians, and even once publicly did so. How many times did rump ask for this damaging information privately? I bet you at least one time, prior to him publicly asking the Russians for this information.
And don't use the excuse of 'I didn't know it was stolen information!'...how else would the Russians gotten such detailed information? Stolen information. People get convicted of breaking into data bases today (wire fraud, etc.), and stealing information all of the time.
