GOP would have impeached Hillary if she had won the election

And many of us would wonder if it was for good reason.

The House would have passed articles of impeachment where they would then die in the Senate. Then the House would pass more articles of impeachment, where they would once again die in the Senate.

Over and over and over and over and over and over again.

I'm convinced that many of the Republicans retiring really only wanted to be in Washington for this reason, and forced to govern instead have found the job to be no damn fun.

Exactly how it would have played out.
Hillary impeachment would have become the new "Repeal Obamacare" and she would have been "impeached" something like 15 times in a row, and it would have become a total joke.

Not with that 2018 Senate map, it wouldn't be.

Well, under a Clinton administration....it would have been a disaster for the Dems. As such, I would say impeachment would have been easy and a Senate vote would have been hair raising.

Touché. While you wouldn't necessarily want to pick a Democratic candidate based on whether Republicans don't sufficiently hate her, I might make an exception for her (20-20 hindsight is awesome).

Republicans who mock Democrats for turning out to vote just because trump are conveniently neglecting how motivated they were to vote just because Clinton.

There is nothing in the Constitution that changes a thing I said to you, if you know something the rest of us do not then share it here and it can be discussed.

If making better trade deals, creating policies that help businesses create jobs, leading on international policies, working to finally fix immigration and all of the other pro-American policies coming from this administration is your definition of ruining America, you may have TDS.

It seems that impeaching a Dem for things that had already been investigated and found wanting would have been okay with these same Gopers that are now supporting and protecting Trump. And what is really interesting is Trump's foundation was used illegally for political and personal purposes and yet nothing there has been investigated. And Trump is using both phones and a private server that are far less secure that Hillary's, but you don't see the GOP investigating those like they did Hillary's. SO when I call the present GOP team hypocrites, it rings very true.

Trump has been under some sort of investigation for his business dealings since he was 18 years old, so no, it's very unlikely that investigations are going to find anything. Allegations of wrongdoing are coming straight out of your rear end.

The illegal things we know Hillary did, which have been confirmed, would be enough to justify impeachment, but I doubt the Republicans would have the nards to do it.

If you actually believe he is doing all that you might not be very bright

They probably would. And if Dems controlled Congress they would probably be preparing to impeach Trump. Worst freaking candidates we have ever had in a general election by far.

Yeah, what a ****show. I reluctantly voted for Clinton, and I wouldn't have supported her if it came to light that she was taking bribes through her lawyer's secret bank account. But these Republicans are like 13 year old Tiger Beat in love with Trump. Doesn't even matter that he's likely a slimy criminal and a danger to the country.

It's like you're living in an alternate reality.

the only way to get an impeachment is for high crimes of office.
So unless clinton or trump commit a high crime of office
there is little that either the house or the senate can do.

They simply don't get to make up crap and say it is a high crime of office.
an actual crime has to be committed first.

For clinton that would have been easy. Her mishandling and gross negligence of top secret and above top secret information was enough
to disqualify her.

had comey and the DOJ not protected her she never would have been able to run.
as the lowest consequence for that is having your security clearances yanked.

That's high crimes or misdemeanors. And the GOP had investigated Hillary for over 30 years and found nothing, so that bullsh*t about Comey protecting her just won't fly. That is just GOPO talking points, but not the truth. Now obstruction of justice or colluding with the Russians by taking info from them are high crimes.

Sure Hillery was investigated, but by the ones being investigated now for their investigation of her then, it’s gonna be good, don’t you think.
We both think our candidate isn’t guilty, one of us is going to be happy.
