IMPEACHMENT: DON TRUMP DEPARTS

While the Founding Father’s were in Philadelphia putting together the Constitution, in Britain was the ongoing impeachment trial of Warren Hastings, the former Governor-General of Bengal. He was charged with corruption by and through the East India Company, the folks who wanted to sell tea in Boston until a party dumped the tea into the harbor in December 1773. Hastings left office in India and returned to Great Britain where he was impeached. The trial took seven years, and ended with an acquittal in 1795. Only a handful of jurors in the House of Lords could vote; many others had not heard the evidence or only part of the trial.

So what did the Founding Father’s do in Philadelphia in 1787? They gave powers to the House and the Senate to impeach the president and try him, presumably in office or once he had left office, just like Warren Hastings. It is the original Constitutional intention, confirmed within the state constitutional conventions, assemblies elected specifically in 1788 to ratify the Constitution on behalf of each state. Madison considered those state conventions as creating the legislative history of the Constitution.

Today, there are Don Trump sycophants, like Alan Dershowitz, who claim Don Trump cannot be impeached once he leaves office. Has Alan Dershowitz ever heard of Warren Hastings? NO, but Dersh is willing to set aside legal and legislative precedents, history of impeachments, and ignore stare decisis to claim Don Trump is innocent.

Dersh is so attached to Don Trump in a toady way, that he won’t let go for love or money. Perhaps, Dersh wants to become the Minister of Justice in Don Trump’s kitchen cabinet: The goal of those men is to eat until everyone has a heart condition, the only way each of them can feel themselves alive on this sphere, today. Meanwhile Dersh is good for a few laughs on Fox, talking to reporters always impressed by his law degree: Dersh is an intellectual; he’s read a case or two. Who needs history? Who needs to know where something came from, because in Dersh’s mind, like everyone at Fox thinks, the United States Constitution is just paper slapped together quickly to handle a few problems in 1787.

UNWILLING TOM STEYER

Tom Steyer, billionaire speculator, made loads of money disregarding climate change by investing in coal and fossil fuels and ripping off Americans by using tax laws for the rich. Steyer believes he is all right and now purified! He’s moved to San Fran. He is running ads why Don Trump should be impeached. Steyer’s impressions of Trump are not grounds for impeachment. They may support arguments and inferences of Trump’s abysmal judgment, his everlasting proneness to gross distortion and proof of the large vacuity where his brain ought to be, but grounds for impeachment?

In the ads Steyer features himself as the good advocate. In 2009 Trump featured himself as a searcher for truth with the birther issue. Trump claims to have forced the state of Hawaii to produce Barrack Obama’s birth certificate. If it had been produced immediately, there would have been no Don Trump. But Trump took a sliver of notoriety, added a game show, ran for President and won.

Steyer features himself on the same path, except in the end he will have no document saying Trump was born in the USA. Trump is a Queenie. Thanks to Trump we have learned Obama was born in Hawaii, and always was. Steyer says Don Trump has conspired, colluded and combined with a foreign power, the Ruskies. Saying something does not prove it. Steyer’s ad campaign is no more effective than the RIGHT-WING AMERICANS erecting billboards during the 1960s: IMPEACH EARL WARREN.

Steyer should stop the ads and prove one impeachment charge. Try loans to Trump, his children, his businesses, his business associates, his son-in-law, his son-in-law’s family by Russians, Russian banks, the Russian government, or anyone in Cypress. This is a financial detective investigation. Although certain statutes and regulations may prevent an investigation within the United States of America, those laws and rules do not extend beyond our borders. Palms frequently get greased, overseas.

Steyer knows this. No one makes a billion dollars after taxes and does not know the ways of money in the world or how to use it. A proper investigation producing evidence (dates, documents, times, places, assets) may cost 10, 20 or $50,000,000. Come on, Tom. Break open the piggy bank! If Steyer does not want to do it himself, there are plenty of underemployed lawyers who would with hourly payments. Steyer knows this. He can do his best, but is too cheap. Will Steyer’s tax evasion schemes in which he is participating be exposed?

Perhaps Steyer is now distracted. He has lost interest in politics. Or he’s getting married, divorced, changing relationships or has to move because he lives in the sinking Millennium Tower embedded in a foundation of sand, set in a city of progressivism prone to earthquakes. Or, he might want to begin a start-up, a pot growing operation in the fire area of Sonoma County – help the tax base!
