Impeachment proceedings against Trump

The investigation was kicked off by several members of Trump’s campaign team and cabinet having inappropriate contact with individuals from foreign governments, laundering money, committing perjury, knowingly passing along information that our enemies hacked into our national security to steal, and various other charges, and 4 of them were charged, tried, and found guilty by a jury of their peers. Mueller’s investigation, which was not based on Steele’s report, was a narrow scope looking at that charge of collusion and he was not able to absolve the president of guilt. As he also stated, it was not within his purview to recommend impeachment, that was on Congress. The impeachment hearings that were held was handled badly by the Dems narrowing the focus too much, and the Republicans in the Senate are too entrenched in party politics (or blackmailed/corrupt/compromised) to do the right thing, aside from Mitt Romney.

I absolutely still agree that the investigation needed to occur, and I don’t believe it will be resolved until decades later because our system is broken that it will protect a POTUS who commits crimes while in office and once he’s voted out, Dems won’t want to change precedent and go after him federally. Donald J Trump is, in all likelihood, a criminal guilty of money laundering for the mob and cheating on his taxes, and unless the state of NY continues their ongoing investigation into him and Trump Org, I doubt he’ll ever be held accountable.

The Russians, Chinese, and Iranians are still interfering in our politics, as concluded by more than one bipartisan Congressional report and all 17 of our national security/law enforcement agencies and they’re doing it to destabilize us and make us weaker. Trump is a pawn in that scheme, a willing participant because he cares only about himself and making money, but by no means any brain behind the operation.
