His book wasn't ready yet

That may be, however in Clinton's case there was actual malfeasance. He lost his law license for 5 years and was forced to resign from the Supreme Court bar and fined 25,000.00$ as a result of those impeachment charges.

I bow to your superior knowledge in this matter.

I don't doubt it. The Democrats have something else up their sleeves and there is still a lot of time before the election. Not that I think Trumps reelection will stop them either.

I don't have a link, but I heard a rumor that the democrats are going to keep on investigating President Trumps involvement of
withholding funds to Ukraine in exchange for dirt on Joe Biden's son.

Why I do not know perhaps to keep the ball rolling all the way to the election

Putting a pressure on another country, mostly third world country, is not unique.

Almost every country in the west have done it or are doing it.

Some years back the former liberal right wing government i Denmark put pressure on Somalia, ´cause they wasn't interesting in taking back some of their former citizens.

And from my memory-The Danish government threaten to withhold their economical support.

I can't say if some of these countries have done it the same way as Trump is accused of.

A hearing without witnesses is not much of a hearing.

That was the whole purpose of demanding witnesses in the senate trial. To drag this all out. To keep their media shills supplied with daily bombshells in order to keep the taint of investigation on Trump so he's running for reelection against that as well as the Democrat candidate who will have scant else to run on. Now they will have to come up with another scandal to fill that Russia collusion/Ukraine meddling Orange Man Bad hole they have dug for themselves.

This is what they should have been doing all along. Impeachment was a bridge to far and for Democrats a bad hill to die on. For President Trump, well after an impeachment acquittal ....."what else have you got?"

The mafia has rules and loyalties it follows. So have the Republicans.

Hayek: "In government, the scum raises to the top." Proven and illustrated by the llustration of a hearing not allowing witnesses. That was not a rule of the impeachment trial - that was a decision made by the accomplices of the accused. Who happend to form the jury. How stupid a mechanism.

In the politics of the US today, there is nothing left anymore that forces one to discriminate them from other political ratholes and lousy regimes on this planet. Scum is scum and corruption is corruption, no matter what passport it holds. Anti-Americanism has finally been turned from a left-leanign folly into a civil duty for every reaosnable, civilised man. That is Trumps' heritage and gift for America. It will outlive him by long, long time. This America must be feared, yes - but nothing more than this.
