When I defended former President Trump against a Democratic effort to impeach and remove him on grounds that I believe are unconstitutional, I predicted that when the Republicans gained control of the House, they would use that precedent as a justification for trying to impeach the next Democratic president.
An impeachment trial for Biden high crimes extortion and bribe taking does not have to win. All it has to do is bring to the public forefront years of financial criminal activity by the Biden clan, branding him a serial criminal, since the democrat controlled media continues to ignore the story and defend him regardless. This will cause irreparable damage to the Biden administration in the next election, adding to at the myriad of the other negative issues, like the open border, illegal retention of classified materials, weaponization of the IRS, DOJ and FBI, etc. all ignored or downplayed by the media. A matter of fact, several impeachments on these other issues would be welcome. Bogus impeachment attempts by democrats did not stop them for trying, so they deserve the same treatment, but even more pointed. After all, Obama, Hillary and Biden colluded with Russia to try and unseat a duly elected president, that's real insurrection. Democrats are famous for pointing the finger at others, accusing them of exactly what they are 100% guilty of doing themselves.
This administration has been woefully derelict in its duty to the citizens of this country by not enforcing our borders. Unless it is a deliberate plan, in which case it is treasonous failure to act on behalf of this country’s best interest.
". . . whether a president can be impeached and removed for a high crime committed before he assumed the presidency." Of course he can. If he had committed a murder, he would be impeached and expelled from office immediately.
What level of evidence would you want to support an extortion charge. As it stands we have the words of an eye witness (hunter biden). Do we need "beyond a reasonable doubt?" Is that a fair standard given that Congress has limited investigative tools at it's disposal (subpoenas can be ignored since a friendly DOJ wont charge)?
I agree with your legal arguments and also dislike these partisan impeachments. What gives me pause (and your certainly entitled to your personal opinion) is your “doubt” that President Biden was neither present or aware of his Son’s invocation of said presence. I think many others would not “doubt” based on all we have learned in the past 4 years. We all saw the video of Joe Biden himself bragging about bribing the Ukrainians to fire the prosecutor.
That vacates a whole lot of “doubt” for myself at least.
You are right about gleaning the facts of Hunter’s message via a thorough investigation. If only there were honest and constitutionally committed people directing that investigative effort, we could establish the truth. Sadly, most of us have lost faith in that process.
I do enjoy reading your essays. Thank you for sharing.
Biden is sending cluster bombs to Ukraine. Cluster bombs! Where is the liberal outrage? You guys have no values. You just pretend outrage when it's not your party in power. You are commies. You have no honor.

In the context we are living in, the answer is maaaaaybe.

Can anyone else vividly imagine the Democrats arguing that Joe wasn't President when he did it and so it doesn't count?
