not trustworthy by keeping her under investigation for years; longer than any other investigation they had; including 9/11
Now some are saying that if Congress investigates #45 through impeachment hearings it will help him someonehow?
The GOP knew what it looks like when someone is forced to defend their behavior in a court of law and they provided that visual to the American people over and over and over. Remember when Trey Gowdy admitted on Fox news that they knew that she could not have stopped the Benghazi attacks? They knew this at the same time they were accusing her of being responsible and hauling her in front of congress to defend herself. They even brought in a mother who lost her son in the Benghazi attacks to the GOP convention to say Hillary killed him!
It was all fake. It was all political.
And now we have an actual real criminal and the Dems are hemming and hawing and thinking it could hurt them to actually follow the law when it is called for. I call bullshit! Even if they can't get the senate behind them what are the senators who oppose the impeachment going to look like after all the damming information from the Mueller report is talked about openly on the regular nightly news? Right now the vast majority of people don't know 1/4 of what 45 did. They will know a heck of a lot more when there are hearings.
If we start impeachment now #45 will be in that same position Hillary was while trying to hold rallies and debates. And he doesn't have the advantage of being innocent like Hillary did. And don't forget that they man can't not lie and will perjure himself in front of congress if he tries to defend himself.
There is a precedent in this country where bad behavior is OK for the wealthy and the powerful. Are we really going to continue that legacy? We are supposed to be Democrats. We are supposed to be against this type of massive unfairness.

(20,196 posts)and politicians. They will say they're all the same and that Clintin and Trump are equally untrustworthy. Then they'll vote for him, or Pence if Trump resigns. Don't play cards with a cheater and expect to win.

(26,623 posts)The last one held accountable was Nixon. I know, there's been a few small fish in between, but for the most part, if there's and R after the name, he, and it's usually a he, gets away with it. When they do get caught, the fine is paid, and right back to the top.
This stops now. Impeach the bastard!!
