What Happens if We Don't Impeach Trump?

What Happens if We Don't Impeach Trump?


Some are worried about what the affects of impeaching Donald Trump would be if it happened today. Could the Democrats successfully impeach him, get him out of office, or would the consequences of impeachment make Donald Trump more popular in the upcoming 2020 election?

Thom Hartmann breaks down the history of impeachment and why Donald Trump's impeachment would different than the impeachment of Bill Clinton.

Do you still think impeachment could have unintended consequences we didn't cover?

1. If we don't attempt impeach we will set a precedent that the president is above the law

Especially considering he is the most lawless president we have ever had.

No one is above the law!

I think we have good leaders. We are the majority. The priority has to be to get behind our leaders, take power, and then take numbers and kick some ass.

It was more about voter suppression than impeachment.

4. I think we need to have Mueller testify first before we can proceed to impeachment

We can't proceed with impeachment if Mueller is going to backtrack on what we think he is saying. I think one of the keys that we need to hear him say is whether Trump's obstruction interfered with the investigation.
