Cable Forum - President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation

Let’s just go back to President Bill Clinton, he was guilty of all sorts, as he got impeached in the House and acquitted in the Senate, at the time because every Democrat Senator stood by him even though he was very guilty of serious crimes and misdemeanours.

The Russian investigation is a sham.

And Yes I am privy to the info, as are you. The info was released early in year. This is not “internet information” that you’re classing it as, this is material released by congress.

Mr Clinton was tried and found innocent. Trump is trying to stop being tried at all.

We don't have access to all the info.

However if Trump is innocent then no harm will be done by allowing the investigation to continue to completion.

As he is so determined to shut down the investigation that screams guilty to me. He has something to hide.

He has to have committed a crime first to be tried - no evidence exists to date of ANY Russian collusion.

As for your rubbish above about Bill Clinton - This is where you don't bother to do your homework - Fact: Found innocent not by a Judicial court, but by the political motions in Congress / Senate, he was still impeached by the House of Representatives and in a civil case, he had to pay a settlement fine to a woman who accused him of a sexual allegation which he initially denied, causing him to perjure himself when evidence came to light that he had lied about the Monica Lewinsky affair.

On the passage of H. Res. 611, Clinton was impeached on December 19, 1998, by the House of Representatives on grounds of perjury to a grand jury (by a 228–206 vote) and obstruction of justice (by a 221–212 vote).

"In April 1999, Judge Wright found President Bill Clinton in civil contempt of court for misleading testimony in the Jones case. She ordered Clinton to pay $1,202 to the court and an additional $90,000 to Jones's lawyers for expenses incurred." - Wikipedia.

Bill Clinton Innocent, my arse!!! :rolleyes:

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation

How is contempt of court in a civil matter mean Clinton being found guilty of the original charges he was found innocent of?

Not necessarily. Unfortunately, all this is distracting from concentrating on fulfilling the promises he made to the electorate, which presumably is the intention of his detractors.

Because um, are you being deliberately obtuse?

He was found guilty in the House of Representatives on the two counts, as I said above. Lying under oath and trying to obstruct justice. His party, The Democrats came to his rescue in the Senate. Impeachment is not a standard Judiciary of proceedings like a court room based on evidence, it’s purely a partisan political circus. Bill Clinton lied under oath, that is a federal crime that carries a 5 year prison sentence, but Democrats aligned with their lying President and cleared him via a political motion.

He wasn't found guilty of anything by the House - they submitted a resolution to impeach him on two grounds - perjury to a grand jury, and obstruction of justice - and then they were approved.

Impeachment is a political process, being found guilty of something is a legal process (impeachment can lead to further legal proceedings, but in itself is not a legal process).

Once the bill had passed though the House, it went to the Senate for an impeachment trial (actually overseen by a Judge) - they did not get a super-majority of votes required to find him guilty (67 out of 100) - it was 45-55 on one charge, 50-50 on the other (5 Republicans voted with the Democrats on that one).

So Clinton was acquitted, and that means, no matter how many times you say it, he wasn't found guilty.

Wow nothing. If you cannot accept the facts that’s not my problem. Obtuse or TDS, great description for many folk in this dying topic, time to close it soon, me thinks.

Re: President Trump & U.S Election 2016 Investigation

Interesting statement from a pro-Trump Judge on "Fox and Friends" today.

Quote:

"There’s only three ways a person can become acting attorney general," Napolitano said. "One, if you are the deputy attorney general — Rod Rosenstein — the president signs an executive order and makes you acting."

"Two is if you are already in the Department of Justice and have a job that requires Senate confirmation and you have received confirmation," Napolitano added. "That is not the case with Matt Whitaker because he’s the chief of staff. That does not require Senate confirmation."

Whitaker's most recent post was chief of staff to Sessions at the Justice Department.

"Three is a recess appointment, which is not relevant here because the Senate is not in recess," Napolitano continued.

"So with deference and respect to what the president’s trying to do — he has every right to have whoever he wants run the Justice Department — he has chosen someone who does not qualify under the law to be the acting attorney general," Napolitano added.

I don't consider it a dying topic at all and neither do the other members of the forum posting in it and discussing it.

I can accept the facts when the facts are acceptable and valid.
