(11,736 posts)We do have to remember though, that we are a nation of laws and rules. We also have to remember that what we are trying to figure out is whether the person elected (albeit by a minority and in suspect circumstances) to the highest executive office in the county is going to be sanctioned and possibly removed from office. That has never happened. Even Nixon was not removed, but resigned. Regardless of whether he is guilty or not, this is going to have a dramatic and long lasting effect on the country. We will find out whether the president worked with a foreign power to subvert our democratic processes and used the office of the presidency to obstruct justice.
My suspicion is that it will not stop at Trump as there was communication with Pence, and members of Congress as well.
This is going to be a lengthy and messy process.
On the bright side, the process can be used on the political side to motivate and animate Democrats to be up for the elections coming next year and in 2018. The process will move a lot quicker of the Congress is Democratic, and not obstructing the process. We have to get out there and get the Republicans out of power.
