dear, you cant investigate full time and imagine it won't be seen as an unconstitutional abuse of power!!! They wanted to impeach him before he was elected, but when Biden was caught red handed taking $50k a month from several countries they don't want o investigate?? Say hello to Trumps second term and good bye to Green New Deal Great Communist Depression!!!

25th Amendment - proof it needs to be exercised

And who is to decide what is "reasonable" if not they themselves ?


There was valid evidence - do you not remember the Wiki-Leaks ?



In the case of a foreign power interfering with a US election, a mere suspicion is enough to warrant an investigation....however much you wish Trump was innocent.

When it comes to social media it's no longer reasonable to assume that a US entity has coordinated with a foreign power. It's simply too damned easy for ANYONE to produce propaganda on social media for suspicion of foreign influence to be a factor. If one thinks consumers of social media are too damned stupid to think for themselves then they are likely right...but not right about foreign influence making a difference. If China makes a million posts supporting candidate "A" and candidate "A" makes million posts supporting themselves then so be it. It's up to the consumer to decide what to believe and what to ignore.

What do you mean by a US "entity" a politician ? The collusion was far more than "propaganda" though, it was political dirt. The kind of thing that Trump was trying to get on Biden in the Ukraine.
The Russians got hold of political dirt on Hillary and dripped it on Americans in the forms of almost daily leaks prior to the 2016 election.

Why would Russia prefer a Republican president ? Does Putin have dirt on Trump? Russian troops certainly were not slow to fill the vacuum the Trump's Syrian withdrawal created.

Trump recindered the sanctions on Turkey pretty quickly too.

A "US entity" could be a person or an organization. For instance, the parties that corrdinated with the foreign power could be the DNC (an organization) or Roger Stone (an individual).

What "dirt" did the Russians get? The Podesta emails showed next to nothing other than coordination between the campaign and certain news outlets. The DNC emails only showed coordination against Sanders.

What part of this rebuttal do you not understand?

The House of Representatives shall chuse their Speaker and other Officers; and shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.

I am quoting our express Constitution.

Oversight is a function of Congress. There is no executive privilege on oversight matters.

I did. Your reference is a diversion and irrelevant. You have to come up with a rebuttal for this line of reasoning: Oversight is a function of Congress. There is no executive privilege on oversight matters.

Why do you believe there is?

You are welcome to re-phase your answer so it is more cogent instead of simply copy and paste because you "got nothing" and like to troll.

of course there is. Unlimited oversight violates the separation of powers. What a surprise the liberal did not know that.
