Impeachment is a process...

Turley: Rather they are meant to drive home a simple point: one can oppose President Trump’s policies or actions but still conclude that the current legal case for impeachment is not just woefully inadequate, but in some respects, dangerous, as the basis for the impeachment of an American president.
I am concerned about lowering impeachment standards to fit a paucity of evidence and an abundance of anger. If the House proceeds solely on the Ukrainian allegations, this impeachment would stand out among modern impeachments as the shortest proceeding, with the thinnest evidentiary record, and the narrowest grounds ever used to impeach a president. That does not bode well for future presidents who are working in a country often sharply and, at times, bitterly divided.

Which, like all Democrat processes as of late, is failing. Horribly.

and from the republicans for the next democrat president
Did Republicans try to impeach Obama? Clinton? Johnson? Kennedy? Truman?
Interesting how the most vociferous clamor for impeachment comes from the Party of the Jackass when they don't win elections.
i hope so.
I hope so, as many as there are corresponding impeachable offences.

If the Senate chooses to say Trump did nothing wrong by asking other nations to help him win the 2016 and upcoming 2020 elections, it will leave the entire world a green light to involve themselves in our elections.
OK! So be it then!
Canada, Mexico, the UK, Germany, Japan, China, France, the Ukraine, Italy, Spain, Australia, Iran, and most other countries around the world are all "ANYONE-BUT TRUMP" countries now.
We'll see how you Leg-humping Trump ass-kissers think about the way these countries will start affecting our elections in their best interests!

J. The President's Conduct Towards Flynn, Manafort,
K. The President's Conduct Involving Michael Cohen
“Our investigation found multiple acts by the President that were capable of exerting undue influence over law enforcement investigations, including the Russian-interference and obstruction investigations. The incidents were often carried out through one-on-one meetings in which the President sought to use his official power outside of usual channels. These actions ranged from efforts to remove the Special Counsel and to reverse the effect of the Attorney General's recusal; to the attempted use of official power to limit the scope of the investigation; to direct and indirect contacts with witnesses with the potential to influence their testimony. Viewing the acts collectively can help to illuminate their significance. For example, the President's direction to McGahn to have the Special Counsel removed was followed almost immediately by his direction to Lewandowski to tell the Attorney General to limit the scope of the Russia investigation to prospective election-interference only-a temporal connection that suggests that both acts were taken with a related purpose with respect to the investigation.”
