They meant the crime Nixon committed. It was also electoral interference. It was even wilder then, since Nixon comfortably whipped his opponents pretty badly. He had no reason to cheat.
Trump probably doesn't win without his cheating.

Absolutely but I was referring to the fact that their case is that it is without precedent getting caught leading into an election.
Pelosi could just not invite Trump to give the SOTU under grounds that they don't want an impeached President giving one.
Lol this guy is a walking cartoon I love itI hope they all have grocery bags
As much as they have a hate boner for Bernie... Washington Post's team is calling out how inaccurate the lawyers were for Trump.
So we're likely heading towards an end of trial by the end of the week huh?
I'm trying to figure out your train of thought here. What do these two things have to do with each other?
As soon as he's out of office he's going to be in endless trials.
He's already joked about a third term at his rallies.
I think if he wins in 2020 and gets the senate, the house, and another judge between now and 2024 he's going to attempt it.
Either that or a sham puppet like Putin is doing in Russia.
Sorry, I didn't mean for it to come off that way... they just seemed really up their own ass in general lately (not just about Sanders) but it was refreshing that they were calling out the GOP's deflecting/projecting.
EDIT: I was thinking NY Times, my bad guys

ok....
I mean, a headline from WaPo today: Sanders chooses not to exchange verbal volleys with Hillary Clinton
So Republicans can just say whatever they want and no one will call them out on it. Not even the fucking media.
I totally just brainfarted.. NYT is who I was thinking of. My B!!!!!!!
I think we will
they just don't look good in this situation.
Russia investigation was easier to mess with becuase it was more complicated than this. This is pretty simple situation.
Romney signaled earlier that he would back McConnel in the first witness vote because McConnel is just following the Clinton procedure and that they can get witnesses later.
yeah that's normally how trials go. try the whole thing and the talk to some witnesses maybe at the end...
There's a reason for that. I might be because Republicans don't need to do shit. I dunno.Saw this on reddit:
Look at all the paperwork the Dems have compared to the GOP
I'm not following you here.
This is about them wanting to keep their jobs first and foremost because they'd get primaried from the more right flank for voting to remove. It's true that some aren't up until 2024 so maybe those few could survive that, but do you think their base is going to get less crazy in that time? I don't. They'll remember what they did. The "moderate" R Senators are in a particular pickle.
so why put up with shit for 5 more years and then when Trump is gone and his base gets complacent about voting, they get voted out anyway? Can these people really find no other jobs?
But the president CAN decide the parameters of his own trial if he has a bunch of republican lackeys who will do it for him.
Being a GOP congressman is the easiest shit in the world. Either whine about the POTUS if they're a Democrat or lick their taint if they're a Republican.
No mention of the fact that with Clinton we had a whole grand jury investigation first and so a ton of the investigation and witness testimony was already done?
The smart ones are assuming he'll just lose in November (not a bad bet) so they aren't having to endure another term and the diehard R Senators want him to be re-elected so there's no reason for them to vote to remove in the first place. There are a lot more of the diehard ones in the Senate so flipping enough for removal is essentially impossible.
Being a Senator is a good job. Going to be some corporate lobbyist isn't nearly as appealing to most of these people (for some it is, and they just decide to not run again when they're up).
