Opinion | Don’t Prosecute Trump. Impeach Him.

All this rhetoric about Trump, all due to the fact he is an outsider and can't be bought..Trump is my president!

Well, here we go again...a "news" organization starts off an article with a title that makes absolutely no frickin' sense whatsoever.

"Don’t Prosecute Trump. Impeach Him."

NEWS FLASH: To impeach someone is to prosecute them in a trial, by definition.

Given that titles are supposed to grab people's eyes and provide a window into an article, it's important that the title represents the actual content of the article.

THAT SAID: At least the content of the article was pretty much on target as to how a sitting President is to be held legally accountable for his actions...namely, that the instrument is impeachment, not a trial in another (judicial) court.

So, I guess you COULD say that they clarified their opening title. But the effect is to give their article a particular slant, regardless.

New York Times makes a few leaps and unfounded conclusions here. Everything that took place and the scenario the NYT discusses is still perfectly legal. Where it becomes illegal is if the intent of halting the investigation was to protect the President himself or if the investigation was halted for corrupt reasons. Otherwise it is still not an impeachable offense to halt the investigation and fire Comey for not listening to POTUS. It only rises to obstruction of justice if the intent by POTUS (which has to be proven beyond a doubt) was to halt the investigation to protect himself and nobody else. That and only that would fall under high crimes and misdeameanors which is a high bar to meet..........anything else falls short. Throughout this whole public debate the Liberal side of the fence has consistently attempted to lower the legal threshold and honestly they will not succeed because any impeachment has to proceed by the rules set out by the Constitution and not by wishful thinking. One more item is that POTUS can fire Mueller right now and it would not be an impeachable offense or an obstruction of justice unless it was proven later he did so to save his own skin. Democrats can run to the microphone and state otherwise but in the end it is how the Supreme Court will rule and they will follow the Constitution even though the Democrats might not.
