I doubt he will. Will ruin the GOPs chances for winning senate majority. If he starts to play up they might ask the Dems to bring articles of impeachment again and actually impeach him.

He was impeached. You're probably looking for another word.

No. He can be impeached again.

No. You said "actually impeach him" as if it wasn't done before. He was already impeached.

What you should have typed in your reply is,

"Trump was successfully impeached by the house. He was not convicted in the Senate and therefore was not removed from office.

Many people mistakenly use the term impeachment to mean removal from office."

So removal from office is the term that you are probably looking for.

I thought he would have realized that himself afterwards. Removal is not impeachment. A lot of people mistake the two for each other.

Esper went on record before the election to vice his willingness to resign, and to issue guidance to the Pentagon for renaming of bases, ships etc, away from Confederate linked names.

Trump and his administration understands how this works? Man up, accept the hard truth and allow the country to move forward.

Multiple government agencies warned not to cooperate with Biden

President Trump’s administration has instructed senior agency officials to not cooperate with President-elect Joe Biden’s transition team amid the Trump campaign’s legal challenge to election outcomes in multiple battleground states, The Washington Post reported Monday. According to senior administration officials who spoke to the Post on the condition of anonymity because they are not authorized to speak publicly, agencies have instructed staff who had been preparing briefing books and office space for the Biden team to not give this access until the election result is confirmed by the General Services Administration (GSA), which oversees the management and basic functioning of federal agencies. “We have been told: Ignore the media, wait for it to be official from the government,” one senior administration official told the Post.

https://thehill.com/homenews/administra ... with-biden

Worse still, anyone hear Pompeo's statement? A reporter asking about moving towards a smooth transition (to the Biden administration) was answered with "There will be a transition to a 2nd Trump administration."

Straight up insanity. Looks like the lemmings willing to follow Trump into the abyss itself. Get ready. This one could get sketchy.

Anything to say about this Trumpists? Even Hillary took her "L" and listened to the American people? And why is Trump in hiding?

Nothing about trumps administration and his actions at this current suggest anything democratic, it’s a perfect example of what a true potential dictatorship can be like if left unchecked. I hope the Amee rikans realize what they have on their hands and deal with it effectively.

One week after the election and the public conversation of how to investigate and indict Trump has begun.

The Right Way to Investigate Trump Once He Leaves Office

The Department of Justice can appoint a special counsel. It will help keep politics out of holding Trump accountable.

By RENATO MARIOTTI

11/10/2020 07:55 PM EST

On January 20, 2021, Donald Trump will no longer be the President of the United States. Later that year, he may become the first former president to face a criminal indictment. Trump is reportedly worried about being arrested, and he should be.

President-elect Joe Biden also has something to worry about: how to handle the misconduct of the 45th president.

This was always going to be a dilemma for Trump’s successor. After an openly self-dealing president like Trump, the nation needs to see that no American is above the law, and that there will be consequences for anyone—even a former president—who enriches himself at the nation’s expense or abuses his power.

But any prosecution of Trump, no matter how fair, will draw criticism from Trump’s supporters in an already-divided nation. Even non-partisan observers have reason to be concerned by the spectacle of the administration of a new president prosecuting the president who just left office. It’s essential for any stable democracy that elected leaders don’t use their new powers to punish their opponents after they’ve lost. No president has ever done it.

So Biden needs to pursue justice when it comes to Trump—but he also needs to ensure that any prosecutorial decisions about Trump are made in a manner that restores public faith in the Justice Department, rather than making it seem, as Trump has, like just another political arm of the White House.

Biden has promised to stay out of any prosecutorial decision, but that won’t be enough. Former President Barack Obama stayed out of the investigation of Hillary Clinton for her use of a private email server, but that didn’t stop rampant speculation regarding the role of then-Attorney General Loretta Lynch.

Biden will have one tool, however, that allows him to pursue justice while also ensuring that the process doesn’t appear to be tainted by politics. That tool is the special counsel—a prosecutor appointed not by Biden, but by his attorney general, who has a measure of independence from the administration. The special counsel should be a career prosecutor who has no connection to Biden or his team, and the Attorney General should publicly state in advance that he or she does not intend to place any restrictions on the special counsel and will follow his or her recommendation.

Unlike the recent investigation by former Special Counsel Robert Mueller, the scope of the special counsel’s authority should be made public at the start of the investigation in a manner that reveals as much as possible without violating grand jury secrecy rules. There should not be a question or controversy about the scope of the special counsel’s authority, as there was in the Mueller investigation.

Although special counsels are typically appointed due to a conflict of interest, such as an investigation of the president who appointed the Attorney General, the regulations provide that a special counsel can be appointed due to “other extraordinary circumstances.” The investigation and potential prosecution of the most recent former president certainly qualifies as an extraordinary circumstance.

It is, of course, impossible to make a decision regarding the prosecution of Trump in a manner that won’t be criticized by Trump and his allies, short of pardoning him or giving him a pass altogether. But appointing a special counsel takes the power away from Biden appointees and puts it in the hands of someone who is non-partisan and is not tied to the administration. That is the best move for the country, and the best realistic outcome Republicans could expect.

You honestly can't fault them when the mainstream media and academia presents only one sides' view. That's a precipitous slope into a fascist type world view. Not trying to seem like a conspiracy theorist at all here as I'm far from it.

But it's becoming a big problem in relying on research from the US when you realise many, especially the recent Covid studies, are biased and only tend to support democratic arguements. For example things about the effectiveness of lockdowns, mask wearing outdoors and hydroxychloroquine....it's becoming a problem in academia when we have to question research motives from institutions like Stanford, when previously you could have trusted their authority.

UK institutions pride themselves on being unbiased so at least we can look toward them for more conclusive findings.
