What the impeachment inquiry of Trump is really about

Excerpt:

"being impeached doesn't mean the president is immediately removed from office. Think of it as an indictment. What happens next is the trial. That takes place in the Senate, presided over by the chief justice of the Supreme Court. The House appoints "managers" to make its case, and the president has a legal team to make his.

The Senate then votes - and needs a two-thirds majority to convict and remove the president from office. There are currently 47 Senate Democrats, so it would take at least 20 Republican votes to remove President Trump from office."

'They've been wanting to impeach Trump from practically the moment he was elected. Last Tuesday afternoon, Nancy Pelosi jumped on the bandwagon with a statement quoting Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Paine to try and bring some constitutional legitimacy. But earlier that day, she let slip the real motivation.

"What's more serious is that he can't win," she said.

There you have it. The "most serious" thing is stopping Donald Trump from being re-elected. It's not about the Constitution. It's about retribution. They hate Trump, can't believe he won in 2016, and are worried he'll win again in 2020. They lecture us about democracy and the rule of law but they're the ones who want to use non-democratic means to get rid of a democratically-elected president.'

Pelosi knows this isn't going to work.  Her real goal is to take out Biden so Warren gets the nomination.

You imply you know something almost completely unknowable. Sorry, but what you posted is merely your opinion. Opinions have very little value.

At this point it’s because she know Barr is closing in and looking for ways out which is why there is a rush to impeach.

The impeachment mess is only about muddying the waters about President Donald Trump enough to keep the libidiot lemmings believing that a Democrat Party candidate has a chance in hell in 2020.

The DNC was bankrupted by Obama and bailed out financially by Hillary in 2016.

Right now all Pelosi is trying to do is sucker sheep for donations and survive against The Squad.

Coach,
In my opinion and observations Trump's main interest in Putin, Russia and Ukraine comes down to OIL.
Russia took Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.
By 2015, the USA and other nations kicked Russia out of the G8, making the G7.
Obama also placed economic sanctions on Russia and some oligarchs.

FYI, Crimea has a massive oil pipeline and shipping port.
Putin and his energy industry oligarchs need the sanctions lifted to go full bore on the international oil shipping.

If we (USA) don't get into this, China could join in with Russia.
THAT would be bad for our energy needs.

If you think this idea is crazy, think about US history .
We led a war to liberate oil rich Kuwait from Iraq in 1991.
We sell arms to Saudi Arabia for decades,  in exchange for a good deal on oil.

Our mid east Arab allies are: Saudi Arabia, Jordon, UAE, Kuwait, etc.
NONE are democracies and are run by a king and his family.

The spats and political pissing contests and like pro wrasslin' to entertain the masses.
The REAL news is based on the TRILLIONS $$$ at stake in oil , defense contractors, etc
FYI, most of the political debate here and in the news is small potatoes.
I know this post may sound like crazy conspiracy nonsense, but I believe it's based in reality we don't hear about.
