House Judiciary Committee Report: President Can Be Impeached for ‘Motives’ Without Breaking Law

The House Judiciary Committee released a report Saturday in which it argued that a president may be impeached for “illegitimate motives” even if his actions are “legally permissible.”

The 52-page report, written by 20 members of the staff for the Democratic majority, attempts to provide a legal and constitutional basis for the Democrats’ ongoing effort to impeach the president.

The report states: “The question is not whether the President’s conduct could have resulted from permissible motives. It is whether the President’s real reasons, the ones in his mind at the time, were legitimate.”

That novel theory is only one of several questionable features of the report.

God help us if we don’t take back the House in 2020. We have to put up with this BS 4 more years.

Motive? If that’s the case Obama should have been impeached several hundred times! LOL

So the thought police can determine if the President should be impeached.

DANGEROUS, dangerous precedent. These idiots on the left are wreaking reckless and extreme biased and baseless judgement at perilous risk. All of this proves they have no concept of governance and Americans should not only be outraged but send a clear message in 2020 by wresting the house majority back from these obviously partisan fools. When done the GOP needs a speaker with backbone unlike Paul Ryan.

So the Demoncrats are mind readers now, huh? I bet they don't want to know what most Americans are thinking about them right now.

The same bunch of clowns who couldn't read the Obamacare bill, and had to "pass the bill so we can see what is in it" have now miraculously developed the skill to read minds, right?

I don't think they could be any more stupid if they tried, but they will keep trying, just watch!

Now, the democrats have organized the thought police and think a President can actually be impeached over what he was THINKING????

Have they EVER read the Constitution?? EVER???

They say these things and not ONE of them goes, "hey, this sounds crazy"??

They do hate Trump and are so blinded by it they can't do the job they were sent to do. Their entire schedule is "Hate Trump" and "Impeach Trump".

Leaders. Only in their mind.

Keep cheering.

The vote is going to be like Obamacare. Lock step voting by democrat majority, and and shut out the republicans. Pelosi told her minions they had to pass the bill to see what was in the bill. Obama told the democrat congress to vote for the bill, and let the voters decide if it was the right thing to do. The Democrats lost both houses of congress in the next election. The voters DID decide, and they will decide again, if impeachment was the right thing to do. Go ahead House of Reps. Vote on it. Let the voters decide. The next election is just around the corner.

Nancy lost the House over Obamacare. Now she is going to lose it again over impeachment. Two time loser. She is so power hungry, she can't help shooting her party in the foot. She'll never learn you can't ignore the voters and stay in power. The Democrats made a BIG mistake when they selected her to be the Speaker of the House a second time, after she blew it the first time around.
