Trump impeachment: Undisputed evidence that he abused his power 
By Andrew P. Napolitano - - Wednesday, December 18, 2019 


ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Because Mr. Trump declined to participate in the House investigation that resulted in the construction of the articles of impeachment against him — except for his tweets and bluster and the Republicans’ personal attacks on House Democratic committee chairs — the facts underlying the charges against Mr. Trump are essentially uncontested. 

Everyone who believes in the rule of law should be terrified of a president who thinks and behaves as if it does not apply to him. As the DOJ has stated repeatedly, impeachment is the proper constitutional remedy for that. 

James Madison, the author of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, feared a government that was strong enough to protect the people would become too strong for the people to control. It would use its powers not for the nation’s betterment but its own. When the government fails to control itself, he argued, when the president becomes a law unto himself by violating the laws that pertain to all others, the remedy is impeachment. 

The framers’ greatest fear was a president who would unlawfully put his own needs above the nation’s or who would drag a foreign government into our domestic affairs. Mr. Trump has tried to do both and threatened to repeat those attempts. That’s why the remedy of impeachment is acutely needed.

Isn’t Napolitano the FOX News expert legal guy?

What favor did Trump get from the president of the Ukraine?

Should a bank robber who failed to get the cash not be prosecuted for robbery? How about an “attempted” murder? Because it was not successful it shouldn’t be tried?

Trump got caught. I can only imagine what goes on we don’t know about.

I would support impeachment if Obama did it. He violated his oath of office.

Completely false analogy. They haven’t proved without a doubt he tried to extort anyone. The supposed victim  says he did not. 
A better analogy would be should we prosecute someone for bank robbery on a persons word , even when the bank claims they were not being robbed.

Would you convict an innocent person of murder when the alleged victim is alive and well and had never been attempted to be murdered, and the witnesses to the alleged murder say that their opinion and their opinion only that there was a murder of a person that is alive and well even though undisputed facts say there wasn’t a murder committed.

Except there is no bank robber here. And he wasn’t caught offering anything for what he requested meaning the entire wild goose chase is sour grapes. You fail. Again.
