Now they wish to seek to impeach without an impeachment inquiry. Democrats want to turn talking to a foreign president into an impeachable offense.
"The Daily Mail sized up well where American politics is today.
"It said, "The White House's refusal to cooperate with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's impeachment inquiry has teed up a constitutional clash that will likely leave it up to the Supreme Court to decide whether to compel compliance, experts said Wednesday.
" 'The confrontation – which has only grown more volatile since the release of a whistle-blower's report last month – could very well be on a path akin to United States vs. Nixon – with a series of major and minor figures facing ratcheting pressure of legal fees, not to mention fines and jail – as the branches sort out conflicts.
" 'The stand-off became even more immediate when the White House counsel's office released a blistering letter essentially daring House Democrats to sue, and vowing the White House 'cannot participate in your partisan and unconstitutional inquiry under these circumstances.'"
"There is no grounds for impeachment. President Trump did nothing wrong.". . .
But his innocence has not stopped Democrats before. Why would it stop them now?
Democrats have wasted the last 2 1/2-plus years chasing the Impeachment Fairy rather than accept the results of the 2016 election. They have tried the 25th Amendment, the emoluments clause, and cajoling electors to the Electoral College to change their votes all in a vain effort to overturn the election.
The Bluffpeachment "The current situation in Washington is, in the language of poker, a bluff. The Democrats are bluffing; they have only weak cards in their hand. They actually have nothing against Trump. That's all they have ever had." . . .
"What awaits the president after impeachment? The answer is...nothing. Impeachment is a purely political maneuver, and the president remains to fulfill his duties until the end of his term, knowing that the House is unhappy with him. The last well known example is President Bill Clinton, who was impeached in 1998 (but acquitted by the Senate). And so what? Nothing — he continued to work." . . .
