I read that and reliable sources agree hat the campaign for Trump was involved. Since he is president he cannot be procecuted so why waste the money. Trump is the King, so let him do whatever he wants.

If that is true (and I doubt it) then Russia did us a favor. I'll have to send my buddy, Putin a thank you note and some edible arrangements.

A reasonable interpretation of this provision is that it sets out a temporal sequence: Impeachment, then conviction and removal from office — and only after that, indictment, trial, judgment and punishment. Does this mean that the president is above the law? Not at all. In cases of serious wrongdoing, and breaches of public trust, the Constitution provides a remedy: impeachment.

Like these posts. Do not like many of Donald John Trump's policies and his character should always be up for scrutiny.
