number one, stop the investigation by the u.s. department of justice and ukraine into the corruption of ukraine interference into the u.s. election in 2016. you said this was about, oh, this terrible russia collusion. oh, then that fell through. it s about emoluments. it s about bribery. it s about extortion. it s changed. but one thing hasn t changed and that is the intent to impeach this president. it s always been there. but let s be honest. the president turning his back on ukraine. that happened in 2009 because in 2008, ukraine invaded georgia. what happened? bush put sanctions on russia to teach em a lesson. what happened after that? well, in march of 2009, hilary clinton was sent over to russia with a reset button to say bush overreacted. we re okay that you invaded
just the king can do no wrong. our founding fathers insisted impeachment should be in there, not for high crimes committed against the people, but for the president himself. the president is limited to a fixed salary which can be increased or decreased by congress, and he can t receive any other emoluments, any other payments. he s effectively serve that go all of us are. if he sdpent faithful physical execute the laws and he s physical. but he needs to be removed.
because of the british doctor and the do no wrong. the king can do what he wants. the king can do no wrong and therefore can t be impeached but are founders insisted not just for others civil officers that might create high crimes and misdemeanors but i guess the president himself and the president and the domestic emoluments clause is limited to a fixed salary and office which could be neither increased or decreased by congress and he can t receive any other emoluments from the government s help. the president is effectively an employee of the american people, he is not above the people, he is a servant of the people like all of us are in the president s core job is what? to take care that the laws are faithfully executed. he doesn t faithfully execute the laws, if he thwarts the laws and triples the loss and commits crimes against american people, then we are not going to send him to prison, but he needs to be removed. why is it abuse of power and
record are arguing are abuses of power or high crimes or impeachab impeachable, including bribery, more specific election crimes and self-dealing and self-enr h self-enrichme self-enrichment. then there is the big one, the obstruction of justice that bob mueller himself laid out, which democrats have talked about as potentially impeachable offenses. i think number one is emoluments. i think it s always been about that for me. this is a president who has equated neo-nazis with those who protest against them. i will fight every day until he is impeached. we are joined by new york times columnist who has been all over this. you know, some people follow. some people summarize. i think in your writing and your advocacy you have lead on this. thank you. it is interesting to see some of the smart d.c. predictions
are that are in front post-trial that could still really stick something in the side of certain republicans because they are so committed to this president. there is still risk out there. are any of them thinking that way right now? i think what you ve heard from democrats is that just because they will be taking this impeachment vote doesn t mean the investigations will stop. as you pointed out, there are a number of outstanding investigations still out there, including investigations looking at president trump s tax records, his financial business records, emoluments having to do with his trump hotel just down the street from the white house. and so i imagine this will not be the end of democratic investigations just because you have a senate trial and the senate will vote not to convict the president. jeff, as adam schiff was saying, he was talking about the trauma to the united states.
