my point is, dont discount a mad dog,
hes planning something, legal or otherwise to get to be president again.
don't think so. he's planning to do what he's always done and what has worked for him since the 90s: throw enough sand and smoke and misdirection up that he can continue to evade prosecution for his long-running criminal failure of a business career.
edit: remember, it's
this garbage person we're talking about
"...in November 2008, he had difficulty making payments on a $640 million Deutsch Bank loan – $40 million of which he guaranteed personally – he took out to finance the construction of the Trump tower in Chicago. He sued the bank for $3 billion, alleging it was partially responsible for the global financial crisis and, by extension, Trump’s inability to repay the loan."
DB gave in after endless lawsuits and agreed to settle for 40 bar or something, writing off $600 million. so he went to his personal banker at... wait for it ... Deutsche Bank, and got 40 bar on credit to pay them.
expect the same approach.
I'm curious about this as well.
As the house would need to vote, then pass the article to the senate. The senate would then need to run a trial and then vote. Considering the speaker took over a month to pass the lass article to the senate, and current rules (to my knowledge) require all senators to be present... the previous impeachment pulled running candidates off their campaign trails. This time senators are away for covid.
Therefore I do not see this process finishing before the 20th, and I've never hear of a none sitting president being impeached.
he's already impeached. the senate trial is now a piece of administrative business on their schedule and that can be slotted in whenever. there's a good chance that both parties will try to avoid it, for political reasons, but it's going to be tough to do because it's a mandatory consequence and the fact of the impeachment is an obstacle to waiving it.
