Opinion: JRubinBlogger thinks Pelosi is right. Forget about impeachment. Unless…
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi claps as President Trump delivers his State of the Union address on Capitol Hill on Feb. 5. At left is Vice President Pence.
The rub is if the evidence is truly compelling but Republicans remain his obstinate defenders. Constitutional scholar Laurence Tribe argues that in such a case you also have to consider “the danger of NOT impeaching a president whose guilt has become clear just because the Senate seems too beholden to the president to remove him.” The alternative would be to refer the case for prosecution and/or consider other sanctions — such as censure.
But, you say, this means he’ll “get away” with it! Nonsense. As soon as he is out of office, he can be prosecuted like any American at the federal or state level — and on any number of possible charges including obstruction of justice, campaign finance violations and a host of financial crimes involving his business and/or foundation.
