“How do we know when a president’s war on the press crosses the line into an impeachable abuse of office?
“The answer may lie in a remarkable bipartisan resolution that the Senate passed in August. At the time, it attracted little fanfare. But it lays the groundwork for impeaching [t]rump for undermining freedom of the press.
“The resolution, which the Senate approved with unanimous consent, starts off innocuously. It cites Ben Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, Ronald Reagan, the Supreme Court, and the Constitution itself for the uncontroversial idea that the free press is “integral to the democratic foundations of the United States.”
…"The Senate views efforts to systematically undermine the credibility of the press as an attack on the democratic institutions of the United States.
…"Some people think impeachment depends on Special Counsel Robert Mueller. But that’s a mistake. The Senate has stated for the record, in a bipartisan resolution passed without a single objection, that [t]rump is violating his oath of office and engaging in “an attack on the democratic institutions of the United States.” That’s a ground for impeachment, and it’s time for Congress to start the hearings.”
I wish breathing was an impeachable offense. I find his continued breathing extremely offensive!
Trump Is Undermining the Freedom of the Press. That’s an Impeachable Offense.
