Did you know that the Constitution of the United States of America limits impeachment to “Treason, Bribery, or other High Crimes and Misdemeanors”.

Unfortunately the exact meaning of the phrase “High Crimes and Misdemeanors” is not defined.

The Democrats in Washington DC are determined to “IMPEACH THE PRESIDENT!”

My understanding is that President Donald Trump is alleged to have asked the President of The Ukraine to investigate allegations of bribery and corruption in their country.

At the time, the son of former Vice President Joe Biden was being paid $800,000 by a ‘utility company’ over there. His ‘job’ was to accept a position on their ‘Board’ which, apparently, did not require his attendance at their meetings or participation in their management.

To make sure that the Ukrainians got the investigation started, President Trump reminded them that millions of dollars of ‘aid’ from American tax-payers might be withheld if they didn’t cooperate.

It’s ‘usual practice’ for politicians to steer money to their family. Putting their spouse or their children on the payroll is typical.

At least 13 members of Congress have hired family members this year.

Hiring immediate family members with campaign funds is legal as long as the salary payments amount to “bona fide, campaign related services,” according to the House Ethics Manual.

But it’s really a ‘legal’ way to enrich family members.

Interestingly, Paul S. Ryan, vice president for policy and litigation at Common Cause said. “It would be a violation of law for a member of Congress to give a family member a no-show job.”

But it’s not against the law for Vice-President Joe Biden to have his son hired in a foreign country.

It should be noted that President Trump, has daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner in White House jobs BUT they are both unpaid.

It’s almost impossible to find out how many Elected Leaders have family members who are taking money from foreign countries or foreign companies.

Is it likely that Biden is the only one?

As I See It, it’s a Presidents job, to protect the interests of the United States and the American people.

At the time, Joe Biden was a leading candidate for the Presidency.

If Biden won the election, and it was then discovered that, in fact, they (Biden & Son) had taken hundreds of thousands of dollars illegally, would we then be asking Donald Trump, “Why didn’t you investigate them before the election?”

And, “If the Ukrainians would not cooperate, you should have ‘pressured them’ to get it done”.

“Impeach the President?”

They should give him a medal. .

’til next time
