Then I would give Nancy Pelosi a phone call and tell her, if he got Impeachment articles tomorrow, the result would be different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There is no longer any doubt.  Donald Trump abused the power of the president when he called when he called Brad Raffensperger to demand he find the votes necessary to overturn the result in his state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donald Trump berated the man.  I heard a commentator suggest, a new chapter was needed in &#8220;Profiles in Courage&#8221; for Raffensperger.  I would agree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">There is no doubt that this is impeachable.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And it is a continued behavior.  Donald Trump has said he could shot another person at rush hour with thousands of witness and avoid prosecution.  Well he is wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Donald Trump even as president is not above the law.  In my opinion he must be impeached.  The key is Mitch McConnell, the grim reaper and Trump supporter for 4 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does he have the courage?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He is not up for re-election for 6 years.  There is nothing for the republicans to final grow a back-bone.  Impeachment rids the republican party of Donald Trump in 2022 and beyond.  With impeachment there is no way he gets the republican nomination in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mitch McConnell needs Trump impeached to reclaim the republican party.  Without it, the party and the United States loses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So Mitch McConnell, what do you want for the republican party in the future?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Hearing the Phone Call What would I do?
