Lindsey Graham does not rule out the possibility of Trump impeachment and conviction if new evidence emerges ... Quoting: Jake no actually the US Senate and the Supreme court does and in the Constitution you must prove a high crime or a misdemeanor. And for Definition of Quid Pro Quo to be illegal would mean it would personally have to benefit trumps own pocketbook. LOL. What a load of complete rubbish and badly written at that. no its a 100% factual Bernie Tard. 1. The Senate has nothing to do with impeachment. 2. The Supreme Court has nothing to do with impeachment. 3. "in the Constitution you must prove a high crime or a misdemeanor" is so poorly written that it is difficult to understand what you are getting at. 4. You are confusing quid pro quo with emoluments. Quid pro quo could be the use of political pressure on a foreign power to further his own re-election - that does not have to involve money. Finally: "its a 100% factual Bernie Tard" What does that mean? Have you considered a remedial English class? man are you dumb Evil controls the ignorant... Climate change is a hoax so is the vax you have been fear-porned into compliance!
