Representative Don Bacon, a Nebraska Republican, told NBC News’ Kristen Welker on Sunday that according to lawyers hired by Congress, “at this point, there’s not a specific crime that’s been committed” by President Joe Biden in the impeachment probe against him.
The Clinton thing was a little more nuanced, he had Congress define a ‘sexual relationship’ or ‘sex’, and then by their definition he said he didn’t have sex. He ‘lawyered’ a room full of bad faith actors, who then said he lied, even though he answered using their definition… then they turned his ‘lie’ into sound bites and destroyed him.
That’s why they ask for ‘live’ interviews, or stall, or refuse… they know that they’ll distort every single word of it if they’re not careful. And any twisted word could be the end of it.
Yeah, I’m old enough to remember:
My point is we’ve known the impeachment system was fucked for 30 years. And the only times Dems complain about it, is when a Dem president is facing impeachment.
When anyone can tell Republicans will keep abusing it, and it doesn’t actually do enough to hold republicans accountable.
It’s political theater that does nothing.
Just another example of how our political system sucks, but no one in political power wants to change anything.
The “is” thing was different. If you dumped your girl and afterwards you say there “is” no relationship, that is true.
