Your explanation is devoid of any law or facts. I am not interested in your opinion, I want to know your legal justification which you have NONE. It is on full display here, simply trying to insult me to deflect from your lack of legal analysis is not going to work.
For starters, I see at a glance that at least two of your citations involve criminal cases and I have covered that and why that is a different matter and that there are no criminal charges against trump.
----criminal cases were pending or implied with Nixon and Clinton. There is no pending or implied criminal case with Trump as there is no crime asserted. Your own postings make the case for the other side.---
Other way round Cowboy. Just saying that you are a lawyer did not work. In any case, it is before the Senate as we have both agreed. If it becomes a matter before the court then we can go to that level as needed.
What is the legal basis to determine it will take 9 to 12 months of litigation? March 20, 1998: President Clinton decides to formally invoke executive privilege. May 5, 1998: Federal Judge Norma Holloway Johnson rules against President Clinton's claim of executive privilege. Precedent's a bitch at times...
The idea of impeachment is that the case is made in The House and witnesses, if any are called there. The Senate Trial does not involve witnesses, rather it is a trial of the House Articles, basically a report. The Senate is to examine what The House has found and presented. It is not the job of The Senate to then try and discover new evidence. --Plain and Simple---
Senate trial didn't start until January 1999 so not sure what precedent you are trying to cite here from March 1998.
