Judge Napolitano: Evidence of Trump's High Crimes & Misdemeanors is "ample and uncontradicted"
By Judge Andrew P. Napolitano

...

The Constitution prescribes the bases for impeachment as treason, bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanors. However, this use of the word "crimes" does not refer to violations of federal criminal statutes. It refers to behavior that is so destructive of the constitutional order that it is the moral equivalent of statutory crimes.

For example, as others have suggested, if the president moved to Russia and ran the executive branch from there, or if he announced that Roman Catholics were unfit for office, he would not have committed any crimes. Yet, surely, these acts would be impeachable because, when done by the president, they are the moral equivalent of crimes and are so far removed from constitutional norms as to be impeachable.

In Trump's case, though the House chose delicately not to accuse the president of specific crimes, there is enough evidence here to do so. Federal election laws proscribe as criminal the mere solicitation of help for a political campaign from a foreign national or government. There is no dispute that Trump did this. In fact, the case for this is stronger now than it was when the House impeached him last year. Since then, more evidence, which Trump tried to suppress, has come to light.

That evidence consists of administration officials' emails that were obtained by the media pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act. Those emails demonstrate conclusively that Trump ordered a halt on the release of the $391 million within minutes of his favor request, and the aid sat undistributed until congressional pressure became too much for Trump to bear.

This implicates two other crimes. One is bribery -- the refusal to perform a government obligation until a thing of value is delivered, whether the thing of value -- here, the announcement of a Ukrainian investigation of the Bidens -- arrives or not. The other is contempt of Congress.

....

Where does all this leave us at the outset of Trump's Senate trial?

It leaves us with valid, lawful, constitutional arguments for Trump's impeachment that he ought to take seriously. That is, unless he knows he will be acquitted because Republican senators have told him so. Whoever may have whispered that into his ear is unworthy of sitting as a juror and has violated the oath of "impartial justice" and fidelity to the Constitution and the law.

What is required for removal of the president? A demonstration of presidential commission of high crimes and misdemeanors, of which in Trump's case the evidence is ample and uncontradicted.

Except no laws or statutes were broken and the biden crime syndicate does not get a free pass for things done in 2016 just because his crooked a$$ has declared himself a candidate for president in the current election.

The biden crime syndicate has made Billions over the past 15 years exclusively because biden was VP of the USA.

You're either stupid or just unwilling to accept what trump did if you think he wasn't trying to influence the election.

Sure biden should be investigated. That's up to the AG though.

Trying to encourage a foreign entity to influence our elections is a federal crime and what little evidence the House has conclusively points in that direction.

hey sometimes you have to act like a crook to catch a crook.

the only difference is crooks like biden, obama and hillary are protected by our government

anyone who tries to fight against them will get the book thrown at them.

only certain people are allowed to break the law.

actual video evidence of biden admitting to withholding aid and thats perfectly ok

but trump making a phone call and making a suggestion and it's the end of the world.

funny thing if biden hillary or obama would have made the exact same phone call no one would have cared
