POLL: Do You Think Trump Will Be Impeached

[Evangelicalhumanist]

That's not the case.
Impeachment and removal from office are two different things, here in the USA.

I wonder why us furriners understand that so much better than so many natives? 'Tis strange indeed.

Apparently, there might be a tax-gate brewing as well. Saw it in the news something about a complaint filed regarding people being pressured about Trump's taxes. I'm going to see if I can find the article again. Not sure if this has any actual substance to it though.

The etymology just occurred to me...it's about fruit.
"Impeachment" is for a case of ethical "impairment".

That's just bananas.

Definition of impeachment, by the way:

Impeachment is the process by which a legislative body levels charges against a government official. Impeachment does not in itself remove the official from office; it is the equivalent to an indictment in criminal law, and thus is only the statement of charges against the official.

Also, my understanding is that it's an administrative process that's done by the House, and it's the process where witness will be heard and interview in hearings. I think this will happen. But I don't think any action will be taken from whatever conclusion it leads to.

You're raising an interesting issue.

I agree, I'm not sure but the way I understand it once they make it official then they are also available for investigation which they do not want. They seem to want to keep Trump on the defensive all the while keeping themselves safe but once it's open warfare then the real show will begin.

agree

There are a lot of opinions of Trumps guilt or innocence so we might as well have our own vote on whether he will be impeached or not. None of us have all the information but most seem to have very strong views so what do you think? yes or no

I voted no and I think overall this whole episode will backfire on the democrats when all is said and done.

Of course. Like Trump said these people are just plain sick. Sick people .

It depends what you mean by impeached.

Will The House declare him impeachable? Yes... they have a majority.

Will it pass the Senate? No.

So I put, "no".

You don't seem to understand how this works.
The House votes to impeach.
Then, possibly, the Senate votes to remove.

In the modern world, with the government dominated by political parties, impeachment is meaningless in and of itself. What matters is the Impeachment Circus.

Perhaps the Democrats will lower themselves to the level of the Republicans, perhaps not. But the precedent was set back in the 90s by the GOP. And the stage is set for a horrific battle between the parties.

Welcome the 2020 election campaign.

That is technically impeachment.

Will it pass the Senate? No.

So I put, "no".

The Senate votes on whether to *convict*. That is a different matter than impeachment.

Once again, Bill Clinton was impeached. He was not convicted or removed from office.

President Donald J. Trump broke no laws when he politely asked the Ukrainian government to simply verify what Biden himself publicly bragged about last year that he as Vice President put a stipulation on U.S. foreign aid to Ukraine. Joe Biden's stipulation on U.S. foreign aid to Ukraine was that the Ukrainian prosecutor be fired for his investigation into why Biden's son had been paid $50 k a month by a Ukrainian natural gas energy production company where Joe Biden's son was unqualified to do any work there for this company.

Donald J. Trump will not get impeached, since he didn't violate any laws for asking Ukraine to verify what Biden had himself already admitted to having tampered with the Ukrainian judicial system.

Thank you.

Here's an example, just a little shake of the can:
