That does not have to be a violation of existing law. [/quote] Uh, yes it does. Congress doesn't get to make shit up on the fly and say "Trump farted in the meeting, that an impeachable offense". It has to be established law (felonies or misdemeanors). How would the Senate try a case based on something other than law? How can they try a case based on Demonrat "feelings"? A trial is based on law. [/quote] “High crimes and misdemeanors” is a category found nowhere in criminal law. The framers meant something broader: a demeaning or undermining of the office. High crimes are actions that abuse the public’s trust in the president. Of course, legal crimes can also be high crimes; stealing money from the public treasury is both illegal and impeachable. But a president does not need to break the law to commit a high crime. And that does not mean "make shit up on the fly". "How would the Senate try a case based on something other than law? " The Senate conducts a trial for each of the articles of impeachment passed by the House. These articles are presented to the Senate by House managers. [/quote]
Original Message
In another sign of the dangerous predicament facing President Donald Trump, his longtime ally Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham said in an interview that aired Sunday night that he could not rule out the possibility of impeachment if new evidence emerges.
In an interview on "Axios on HBO," Jonathan Swan asked the South Carolina senator: "Are you open minded if more to comes out that you could support impeachment?"
"Sure, I mean show me something that is a crime," Graham replied. "If you could show me that, you know, Trump actually was engaging in a quid pro quo outside the phone call, that would be very disturbing."
