Tweet by Bill Kristol (former editor of the Weekly Standard, and TV Pundit )

Big deal. :roll:
 
Kristol was part of the NeoCON cabal at PNAC who pushed for the series of wars that have laid waste to the Middle East.

Kristol’s desire for war with Iran, like a depraved sociopath used his influence in the Bush administration to advance an
agenda for US global domination, enforced by unilateral military interventions.”

Kristol just announced he, George Will, & the fat guy from Red State and the Weekly Standard will all endorse mayor Pete.
I guess he's trying to intrude into Democratic politics now that he's a pundit on MSNBC a requim for those who are
hoping angry that they have zero influence in republican circles & his supposed conservative political magazine went belly up!

In other words, Trump is doing a blatantly obvious impeachable offense, and loyalty to the party is more to you than to the country?

Yet, the information relayed in the tweet is factually correct. This is the article 3 in it's entirety.

Article 3

In his conduct of the office of President of the United States, Richard M. Nixon, contrary to his oath faithfully to execute the office of President of the United States and, to the best of his ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States, and in violation of his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed, has failed without lawful cause or excuse to produce papers and things as directed by duly authorized subpoenas issued by the Committee on the Judiciary of the House of Representatives on April 11, 1974, May 15, 1974, May 30, 1974, and June 24, 1974, and willfully disobeyed such subpoenas. The subpoenaed papers and things were deemed necessary by the Committee in order to resolve by direct evidence fundamental, factual questions relating to Presidential direction, knowledge or approval of actions demonstrated by other evidence to be substantial grounds for impeachment of the President. In refusing to produce these papers and things Richard M. Nixon, substituting his judgment as to what materials were necessary for the inquiry, interposed the powers of the Presidency against the the lawful subpoenas of the House of Representatives, thereby assuming to himself functions and judgments necessary to the exercise of the sole power of impeachment vested by the Constitution in the House of Representatives.

In all of this, Richard M. Nixon has acted in a manner contrary to his trust as President and subversive of constitutional government, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of the United States.

Wherefore, Richard M. Nixon, by such conduct, warrants impeachment and trial, and removal from office.

What impeachable offense?

The subpoena of Mazars, the accounting firm he used beforehand.

In case you didn’t see the headlines, he has sued to block the subpoena, my sweet *****cat.

So...there you go. He didn't refuse. He's taking it to court.

In other words most people on the left wouldn't know an "impeachable offense" if it crapped on their feet.

There was an actual crime to investigate. Watergate was not a continuing, pouty, red-ass because Nixon won an election.

Your sophomoric characterizations aside,

But they did not, ahead of time, know that Nixon was involved or obstructed justice. The tapes proved it.

But, of course, the opposite outcome was possible.


Similarly, they did not, ahead of time, know whether or not there was collusion by Trump ( er..,.conspiracy).

ANd that outcome came to Trump's favor.

Either outcome means the investigation was successful. Mueller was not out to get anyone, he was out to either exonerate, or provide to congress a roadmap for impeachment, as Mueller knew in advance that he could not indict. He did both, and he did so with integrity, not allowing himself to be goaded by the president by his incessant defamation and attacks on Mueller and the investigation.

Trump was exonerated of "conspiracy" but was not exonerated for obstruction.

Mueller did not pout.

Mueller is one strong son of a bitch.

Rosenstein had probable cause to establish a Special Counsel.


Not sure what your point is.
